Nice options and good taste

Veggie and vegan dishes were in the same label, so I had to ask which of them were actually vegan.
I asked for the chickpea tortilla (is basically a sort of hummus in the shape of a tortilla), the seasoning was on point, really tasty.

PS: I had trouble founding options with actual protein so I came back the next day, it was really good.

Great vegan options, well labelled

A whole vegetarian / vegan menu alongside meat options. Waiting staff are so friendly and the options are super well advertised.

Recommend the delicious juices in agua ( in water instead of milk!)

Would recommend for trying local food using natural ingredients. The Andean soup was so good!
Any non vegan sauces (sour cream / cheese) are served on side.

plenty of vegan options

Very cute restaurant with a very large vegetarian/vegan menu. We went there for Christmas and they also had a vegan Christmas menu. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

Fresh and filling food 🌱

Dishes looked small but we're eventually filling. Very fresh food and kind and attentive staff. Would come again 🌱


🍆🍌 Eggplant and Plantain Parmigiana - 35k
Very filling, very hot. Initially thought it's missing carbohydrates and ordered the potatoe dish on top but in the end it was a nice combo missing nothing

🥔 Colombian Creole Potatoes - 25k
Great combo but small portion. The sauce was outstanding.

🍲 Andean Soup - 25k
Looked as it's not much but eventually was enough. Very tasty broth. Comes with two slices of toast

Ottimo!!!

Tantissime opzioni vegane, una pagina intera del menù! Ottima la zuppa di lenticchie e la Ratatouille di verdure che ho provato, ma c'erano tantissimi altri piatti! Eccezionale!

Best place to eat vegan food in Cartagena

Big range of vegan options, traditional Latin American food, super nice staff, the vegetarian rice was amazing and the place is not expensive at all!

Great variety

Wide variety of choices on the menu that are slightly different to the usual. Loved the eggplant parmeggiana. The chickpea tortilla was a little weird (very thick and doughy) but tasty. Service wasn't the best.

Amazing eggplant + plantain parma!

My husband and I had lunch here today, we were happy that they had a long vegetarian section in the menu, most can be easily veganised. I had the carribean rice (without almonds) which was OK but a little bland. This was potentially because I had almonds removed? My husband had the eggplant and plantain parmigiana and it was amazingly! I stole 1/3 of his meal haha. It was the best meal we have had in Cartagena.

Life is Good in Cartagena

Literally it was when we discovered this spot in historic Getsemaní. As vegans traveling here many dishes are vegetarian so when we found this place we came back for dinner after having lunch. It was that good. The plantain special with the Hogao was phenomenal. We met the owner who was warm and inviting.

Pros: The food, The atmosphere , The staff
