Overrated

We went there 2 times and each time tried something different. I don’t really understand why everyone is so happy about this place as the food is really average and not mega tasty. It’s just okay for a city with limited vegan options. Staff is very friendly.

Perfecto

Really tasty food with friendly staff who are clearly very passionate about veganism.
Ate here twice and would definitely return again if near the area.

Todo delicioso!!!!

Es un lugar bonito, acogedor y con activismo vegano, quienes atienden son muy amables y con una buena energía. La comida es exquisita y hay muchas opciones. La sopa del día es reconfortante y rica.
De los mejores lugares veganos que he encontrado en el sur de Chile.

I ordered the pesto gnocchi and an empanada with vegan chicken and it was all incredibly tasty and delicious. I love when restaurants are fully vegan and you can go safe with anything you order 🥰 I’d recommend this place to anyone. It’s just amazing 💜

Pros: Lots of amazing vegan food , Lovely atmosphere , Very friendly staff

Cons: No Cons

At the moment only all-vegan place in town. Very cosy, welcoming colourful 🌈 interior. Super friendly and dedicated owner ☺️

Good choice of dishes, mostly burgers, but also Chilean staple Completos, budha bowl, soup of the day....guess there are even more options during the season. Very reasonably priced. We got ,Greedy burger’ ´Completo’ and broccoli soup, everything delicious, big portions. Seasonal pina colada smoothie so gooood 😋

Pros: Welcoming atmosphere , Delicios food prepared with ❤️, Big portions for good price

Cons: In low-season not open for dinner

Perfecto!

My favourite vegan restaurant ever! To drink I had a chocolate smoothie with banana, homemade milk, flaxseed, dates and cocoa powder - healthy and delicious. To start I had a carrot and coriander soup which was warming and full of flavour. For main I had a hotdog with wedges and mayo on the side. The bread was really good, and the hotdog itself was super yummy, accompanied with fresh tomato and avocado. Wedges are such a simple thing but these were executed really well. I then also had a chocolate muffin with a peanut butter caramel, which was super moist and delicious too. Even though the portions were generous I wanted to try more so I had some bruschetta which was again really lovely. Everything was such good value and the service was great. It’s wonderful to see places like this in South America, or anywhere for that matter.

Pros: All vegan and delicious, Amazing service , Healthy food at an great price point

Cons: None!!

Excelente

Fui con mi mejor amigo quién no es vegano y le encantó, comimos burritos con arroz atomatado y realmente estaba buenísimo, de postre tenían quequitos de chocolate que estaban demasiado ricos, nos atendieron súper bien, así que nos fuimos contentos y con la guatita llena.

Pros: Completamente vegano

Vegan heaven!!

Wow!!! I’m a Nomad Nurse & backpack all over the globe. As a vegetarian I struggle to find alternatives for meat free, especially when travelling. The food is usually dry and hideous. But this unique cafe food is fantastic! Delicious burgers, hot dog & salads.. all VEGAN & the heavenly chocolate cushions too!!! Yummy!!

Also staff speak fluent Spanish & English, so great to recommend places to visit & their ethos 😁

VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN

Passing through Chile and stumbled across the most amazingly friend cafe which is 100% Vegan. The tastiest food I have eaten in a very long time.
Go in and try if you near by, the fresh fruit shakes and burgers were out of this world. Thank you to the staff for treating us like no one else mattered. Fantastic experience all round.

Pros: Amazing food, Dedicated team, English spoken fluently

Cons: To far for a weekly trip as I live in uk

Lluvias de Agosto

Fuimos con mi familia a este lugar dado que sabía era vegano, y por tanto perfecto para mí. Todo ahí lo era, la atención muy buena, amable y ordenada.

La comida no fue del todo diversa (tal vez sería bueno agregar un plato que tenga lentejas), pero al ser un proyecto nuevo es comprensible. Para mí eso no fue problema alguno, sin embargo para personas no veganas a veces eso se utiliza como escusa para desaprobar el sitio y/o la comida.

Por otro lado, el ambiente era muy grato, con muchos colores alegres, baños limpios, y todo muy bien decorado con información del mundo vegano.

Además pude apreciar la preocupación por parte del restaurante, de trabajar con productos amigables con el planeta. Evitando el plástico a toda costa, y contando con dispensadores de comida para llevar de cartón no plastificado, lo que entrega la garantía de ser un material compostable.

Por último decir que el tiempo de espera fue normal, lo que nos permitió disfrutar de una grata conversación familiar mientras disfrutamos la sopa de entrada, y al mismo tiempo, esperábamos la llegada del plato de fondo. Postre no comimos, dado que estábamos muy satisfechos con todo lo anterior.

***Altamente recomendable para vegetarianos, vegano, y personas en búsqueda de sorprenderse con nuevos sabores, y que estén de paso, por Puerto Varas***

Vegan Heaven

This is the only entirely vegan diner in town and is super. It’s run by a very friendly attentive couple, Amber & Eduardo who are happy to make amendments and additions to your order. I’ve now eaten here several times and never been disappointed with the variety of burgers, juices, salads, shakes and soups that I’ve tasted. It’s all made from fresh ingredients with the burger rolls supplied by a local baker. I highly recommend Lenteja Loca!

Pros: Excellent yummy food , Excellent value, Friendly staff & atmosphere

Cons: None
