Good Vegetarian Lunch

You can have lunch here for 13.000 pesos. You can have the suggestion or you can have some kind of savory crèpe filled with veggies and a topping of choice.
The vegan brownie was delicious and I bet the other cakes will be too.

Pros: good price, lots of fresh veggies, good value

Best vegan food in Colombia

Guys you have to go there. We had the beetroot pasta and it was extremely delicious. The meal size was also very big for the price you pay. This was honestly one of the best pastas ever.... also had a yummy juice and chocolate cake.

Pros: Many vegan options, Very Delicious, Big portions

Comfort food

Expensive vegetarian comfort food on the road next to the river.
We shared a hummus, which was not great, but the juices we had were delicious.

OK place if you're looking for some comfort food, but there are some tastier and cheaper options in town if you're looking for decent vegetarian food

Pros: Great juices

Cons: Very expensive

Lovely

They have an awesome space upstairs that you can sit in the overlooks the street. The staff here are soooo friendly and literally sing while they’re cooking. They’re such happy people, it was a pleasure to be there. Chai was wonderful! Would definitely go back.

Good lunch


I was really surprised when decided to check with HappyCow if there is an option for vegan people in this lovely beautiful small town. Just around the corner I found Namaste.

Pros: Many options, Fresh & tasty , Fast service

Outstanding staff, nourishing food!

José was wonderful. Over the top service. Serene, quiet environment. The recommendation was to order the curry (vegan). I did just that and it came with a cucumber babaganoush appetizer, a refreshing guanábana juice, and a vegan chocolate cake at the end (I took to go for friends). The curry bowl itself was awesome - full of cauliflower, peppers, onion and quinoa. No BS, great ingredients. Appetizer, juice, quinoa veggie curry bowl and a dessert for around $7 USD

Pros: Staff, Clean wholesome food!

Not Good...

Almost never write negative reviews, but the food was just not good. They put in SO much spice, way too much. Not in the spicy sense - the food was just grainy with spice... Upset both our stomachs, and we each ordered different meals.

tasty and comfy

They seemed to moved... At least there is a restaurant with this name one block south of the main plaza, which even seems to be fully vegan. They only have one dish a day, which was DIY falafel. Means you get the bread with the falafel and can add the sauces and salads on your own.
Very tasty very nice atmosphere and very friendly staff.
I could not find the restaurant at the Malecon, I think they moved.

no está mal

Restaurante vegetariano y vegano, aunque no se sale de lo tpico , pizza pasta y crepes , la pizza igual estaba poco cocida ante la falta de horno!! Ya que la hacen en un hornillo, el hummus muy bueno.

Pros: Raciones abundantes

Cons: poca variedad y originalidad

great place!!

Staff can speak English, menu is in both English and Spanish. The food was delicious and huge portions of pasta. There is a small service charge but the service is totally worth it! Very attentive. Nice view of the river. Free wifi.

Cons: a little pricey but it's almost 2 meals on a plate

Vegan options (Yay!) but small menu

At Namaste, I ordered the Hummus appetiser, Vegan Pizza and the vegan brownie.
Not everything was good, for example the salad that came as a with my pizza was quite limp and tasteless despite the dressing on top.
The brownie was sweet, but dry.
The hummus and the pizza were really good though.
I would say Namaste is a mixture of great food, and not so great food.
Too bad that their menu is so small, that you have very little choice in what you order.

My rating is probably 3.5 but since I can't choose that, I'm going to go with 3.

Pros: Vegan food in small town Guatape, Nice vegan pizza and hummus

Cons: Not everything on the menu is that good, Small menu

Such a nice surprise in a sea of meat options

We've had a hard time finding great veggie options in Colombia. This was a pleasant surprise and a great find. Kind staff, clean food. The street noise is distracting and the exhaust is annoying but this is worth sitting through all of that.

Pros: Vegetarian in Colombia

Cons: Street traffic

Great spot!

The portion sizes are HUGE!!!

The vegan brownie was divine! Such a great little spot with friendly owners.

It was also open on Tuesday - in the description it says it is not. ALSO - they moved and are now located on the lake front.

tasty food!

the food is really good, they have pizza and a crepe, the crepe can be vegan, its prepared out of fresh vegetables, its really good, the only bad thing is it can be a bit delayed.

The whole stay in Guatape we went everyday there, in the town there are not many options, and most of the places just serve you regular lunch without the meat (no substitutes) and can be VERY pricey.

I would give 5 stars if it was vegan.

Pros: Fresh ingredients, taste, vegan options

Cons: delay, small

Delicious!

Namaste has a delicious weekly open faced vegetarian sandwich on offer. All the ingredients are fresh and almost all are local. It's a great lunchtime spot. They also have fresh and healthy fruit smoothies that pair perfectly with the sandwiches.

Pros: Inexpensive, Fresh Ingredients, Delicious Sandwiches and Smoothies
