Great food and big portions - Edit
The portions and main dishes are big enough for two people! The flavor was great and the vegan chicken was the closest I have ever tasted since I became vegetarian 💚

Delicious! - Edit
We had buffalo nikkei wings and chicharrón arequipeño and they were both delicious! They're both made out of seitan but manage to have very distinct flavors. Also had the lemon pie as dessert which was decent but not mind-blowing.

Tasty Dining with some flaws - Edit
High end dining restaurant in vegan with some flaws. Firstly the food was delicious no doubts but given the price we had some smaller things to remark:
Read more- The entree came like two minutes after the main course so we had to eat them simultaneously.
- Main dish was only warm
- The Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich was more a burger
Other than that the experience was nice. Pricey but nice.
🍝 Pasta a la Huancaína con lomo saltado
Great sauce and noodles. Dish was bit too cold. Seitan bites for my experience too thick
🥪 🍔 Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich
Tasty patties but overall more a burger than a sandwich. Came without sauces and was quite dry. Was no problem to order different sides in addition when asked
🥔🌽 Caparinas (Entree)
Favorite dish. Hot and tasty overall great

Do yourself a favor and go eat there! - Edit
We had the arroz a la norteña con no pollo teriyaki and the rocoto relleno con papas dorados and both were really amazing!! The ginger and mango soda was a little too sweet for my taste. And the apple cake was nothing special but still really good. The location is also really nice just like the staff! Great experience!
Read moreEdit: Beacause everything was so good we went to eat there again and this time it was even better! We had the pasta a la huancaina with lomo saltado and the chicharrón arequipeño and both were amazing especially the pasta! The staff was super nice and helpful like the last time!

Fancy - Edit
Lovely venue with an interesting, mostly Peruvian menu. Chose the lomo saltado and the chicharron. Good sized dishes, both quite rich and VERY salty. Both also had a lot of garlic. We liked them both but would have benefited from more fresh ingredients to cut through the richness. Glad to see vegan pisco sour on the menu too.

Muy buenas opciones - Edit
Probablemente la carta vegana más extensa de Arequipa, también de las más caras. Buena calidad de la comida y buen trato. Pedí para llevar y me lo prepararon todo con mucho gusto. El local es muy agradable.

Good vegan local dishes - Edit
We had the ceviche de setas y champioñes, the rocoto relleno and the vegan Nashville chicken. The ceviche was amazing; so many different flavors and textures! The rocoto relleno was delicious too and so nice to be able to try a local delicacy that’s normally not vegan. We were not overly impressed by the Nashville chicken, but we would 100% recommend to try the ceviche and rocoto relleno!

One of the best vegan restaurants I‘ve been to so far - Edit
Super good experience!
Read moreNice outdoor atmosphere, lots of local veganized dishes and everything tasted amazing. My bf who is not vegan and sometimes a bit critical also loved it a lot and want to go there tomorrow again. 😀
We had the causa, the filled pepper and the seafood trio - everything very good.
Pros: Local dishes, all vegan, Super delicious , Nice atmosphere
Cons: a bit pricey - dishes cost between 33 and 38 PEN

🧂🧂🧂😖 - Edit
As a fully vegan place offering Peruvian traditional cuisine, I really would have loved to love it, but both of the sauces of the two dishes of their daily menu were incredibly salty, which was a shame as the ingredients itself were well prepared. Also the waitress was helpful and friendly. Maybe the cook was in love, as German and French people assume, when the food is too salty. 👨🏻🍳❤️

Excellent Peruvian food! - Edit
I love all the veganized versions of traditional Peruvian dishes! I had the Chicharrón Arequipeño with Camote and Salad. It was very tasty and very satisfying. I also took the apple pie to go which was delicious! The location is in a nice and centrally located plaza, has seating outdoors and indoors. Service was very good too.

Amazing food, the anticuchos and caparinas were delicious. We tried cocktails too: Llamas encantadas and Magia negra, maybe a little too sweet, but awesome.

The Experience
- - - - - - - -
Though the restaurant wasn’t busy, we waited over 15 minutes to order as the staff chatted with others or were totally absent.
When we placed our orders, our first five choices were not available.
We placed our order and waited and waited... An entire family that arrived after us was served their food and left before we received our food an hour after arriving and choosing our food!
The food that arrived was not even what we ordered from the menu and the fries were cold—40 minutes for a cold marinated seitan patty and basket of fries (with only 3 other people in the restaurant)!
The server never checked in to address the wait time, and snickered the two times we inquired about the food. When we addressed the problem in English and Español, the manager(?) did not apologize or offer to make-up for the issue, only saying that they were short staffed.
We walked out because we exhausted our patience and faith in the service and ate at a vegetarian restaurant across the street.

Es mi lugar favorito - Edit
Conocí Lounge del Brujo en su otra sede, y fueron super importantes en mi proceso de ser vegana. Amo su comida, su sabor es increíble y hasta adictivo. Rompen todas las creencias de que la comida vegana es fea o algo así, incluso para los más carnívoros. Llevo a mis amigos ahí siempre además que hacen conciertos de música en vivo o eventos como lecturas de Tarot. Amo Lounge del Brujo

Delicious food and excellent service - a spectacle - Edit
We went to this place for dinner. Although our Spanish is very minimal and the waitress spoke little English, she was just so welcoming and worked with us to ensure we understood each other well!
Read moreThe food was presented really well and was incredibly tasty - we ordered the lomo Saltado with pasta. The only thing was there was a little bit too much seitan for our liking.
Dessert was fabulous and we also enjoyed watching the table next to us receive their magical and mystical cocktails.

Little vegan gem in Arequipa - Edit
This little place is located not far from the historic centre.
Read moreThey have a fully vegan menu and much to choose from. And even more they also have typical Peruvian dishes but made vegan!
You can sit outside in the patio which is also very nice.
Staff is very friendly, even though they might not speak a lot of English but their service is impeccable.
Prices are a bit highly for Peruvian standards but very much worth it in my opinion.

Good food - Edit
Scrumptious seitan Buffalo wings! The chicken burger was also quite nice. Great sauces. The Oreo cake was wonderful. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the seitan in the Lomo Saltado - still good, but not as full of taste as in the other plates - and the fact that both days I went they had almost run out of desserts 😭.

Super delicious - Edit
Loads and loads of very tasty vegan options. The vegan pisco sour was also amazingly good. We came back here a second time because we liked it so much. Slightly more on the expensive side, around 28-34 soles for a main dish but I’d say it’s definitely worth it. Really nice to try some of the local dishes from Arequipa made vegan too.

Amazing vegan food! - Edit
We came here in the evening and had the Anticuchos dish and the Hot chicken sandwich.
Read moreBoth were absolutely amazing! The corn in the Anticuchos dish was seasoned to perfection and the whole dish was so good! The sandwich was also really good with a great sauce and very cool texture.
For dessert we had a chocolate oreo cake which was also good.
I came back for breakfast and had the blueberry waffles (as they recommended) but I found it a bit stale and did not enjoy it so much.
Pros: Amazing vegan food, Great seasoning and flavor , Very good service
Cons: Waffles were not fresh, A bit expensive in comparison to the area
