Incredible atmosphere - Edit
Nativa is such a beautiful restaurant, the atmosphere is amazing! We ordered the parrillada and it was a lot of food, enough to share between two people since we were not hungry. It was a great choice to be able to try a lot of different local specialties in the same dish. The food was good but not that impressive. My favorite part was the mushroom with pesto sauce, absolutely delicious! For dessert, I had the passion fruit cake. It was tasty, but quite dry. Overall, the food is reasonably priced, the service is great and the place is beautiful, so it is definitely worth a visit! Also, they have an amazing shop with a variety local products.

Lovely native and heartfelt food ♡ - Edit
Honors their name with Colombian native dishes veganized.
Read moreAll dishes were good, nicely presented and flavorful... but what stood out was the Tamal: incredible! Could eat it everyday and never get bored ♡
Soup was also super tasteful and warming :)
The alfajores, are a good to go sweet snack along with their chocolates.
Service was kind and fast, in a nice and calm ambiance
The restaurant is located in the historical area, inside a pretty colonial house.
It also has a little store, with handmade and local vegan products and crafts.
Only downside, to be fair, the maracuja cake as it was too dry. Maybe it needs to be soaked a bit on the maracuja syrup to gain moisture.
The dish of the day and arepa with cheese weren't surprising either, but still well made and affordable.

Sobremesa deliciosa em Candelaria - Edit
Visitei o Nativa em busca de uma sobremesa e segui o conselho da atendente: o gelado com alfojor.
Read moreA apresentação da sobremesa estava impecável (foto) e o sabor excelente.
O restaurante também é muito interessante, possuindo um visual único, bem rústico. Tivesse mais tempo em Bogotá certamente retornaria para experimentar outras iguarias do cardápio.
Pros: Totalmente vegano, Ambiente agradável, Comida saborosa

Steady lunch - Edit
A wistful building in Candeleria.
Chicha, Guarapo and other fermented drinks on the menu.
Today's menu included a nice and tasty red soup. Not sure what it contained exactly, but guessing peas, carrots, maybe pumpkin?
Next dish with plantain, pumpkin(?) and cucumber. Savory!
For dessert, I went for blackberry ice cream and maracuja cake and some peanut cake. Cakes were a bit dry, but combined with the ice cream it worked fine.
There is also a small shop at the checkout where you can buy different kinds of domestic products.
Pros: Inexpensive , Great service!, Card payment

Freshly cooked - Edit
Cute place, very nice staff. There is a shop selling quite a few things as well, including vegan chocolate and other ingredients like panela and dried fruits.
Read moreWe ordered the Kingston burger - which was tasty with the mushrooms in pesto. The potatoes with it were great - freshly cooked. Felt like a healthy burger.
The passion fruit cake had amazing taste. The texture was a little dry compared to what I expected.

Me encantó la atención y la comida 😍 pedí la hamburguesa kingston y estuvo deliciosaaaaa. Me enamoré de la cerveza negra de 3 guerreros, sin duda alguna la mejor cerveza negra que he tomado.

Buen restaurante - Edit
El local está muy bien, aunque se siente orientado al turismo. Creo que no acertamos con lo que pedimos así que tendremos que darle una segunda oportunidad para valorarlo mejor. La comida estaba bien, pedimos crema del día, tamales y la parrillada, pero no nos cautivó.
Read morePros: Menú del día, Buenos precios

Wholefood cuisine - Edit
The space is quite pleasant and the staff friendly. The menu seems to follow a healthy wholefoody theme.
Read moreFor starter, we had a nice empanada.
We had the day menu, which was a chickpea soup and a salad and rice dish. The chickpea soup was delicious, but the dish was poor. It lacked flavour and protein.
We also had a tamale, which was nice and good, but not amazing.
Finally, for dessert, we chose the brownie. Not your typical brownie, it was much drier and crumblier. Yet, we really liked the flavour.
Overall, it was good and I could go back, but it would not be at the top of my list (maybe because it's so healthy...).
Pros: Healthy traditional

Went here twice because we loved it. The food is fresh and I felt amazing after eating it. This is where I tried chicha and the spices they add to it improve the fermented flavor a bunch.

Awesome, Cozy, and Delish - Edit
I loved the spot. It was tiny, but had a great ambience with lovely wall paintings and great decor. The people there were really really friendly and helpful. I was so excited to eat some vegan arepas; what stood out was they even had cashew cheese which seems like it is uncommon in Colombia (vegan cheese). I felt I could order two arepas for a light lunch, 3 for a heavier meal.
Read moreThe main dishes were unique which was interesting but I had difficulty deciphering what to order. I ended up with a mixed plate where the dishes were also mixed in quality. Some were flavorless, others delish. Be sure to ask for the hot sauce which wasn’t spicy but it was super rico!
I would def go back and would like to try more of the menu.
Pros: Vegan cheese, Health food store, Friendly staff/ambiance

Restaurante com foco em orgânico e 100% vegano - Edit
A comida é muito boa e tem opções para descobrir sabores colombianos. Eu achei o menu do dia pequeno. Como eu não estava com muito fome e pedi uma sobremesa tbm, não foi um grande problema. Mas se estivesse com fome, o menu do dia é insuficiente.

Comida cara, usan "lo ancestral" de marketing - Edit
Podrían mejorar sus platos y sus precios, y no seguir la onda de mercantilizar la cultura muyska, sino mostrar que el respeto a los animales no debe ser un privilegio de ricos. La comida (y más si se paran en el nombre de una cultura que fué colonizada) y la alimentación vegana debe ser popular y asequible. tambien el servicio es muy demorado

Disappointed - Edit
I was not blown away by the food, I found it to be quite bland! You can make healthy burgers and make them delicious but I didn’t love the food here, which was a disappointment! When I entered the place I got a great vibe and energy from the place and was excited about the food. We ordered 2 burgers, drinks and 1 empanada and 1 arepa. My partner had finished his burger when I then asked about my burger and then the waitress went to the kitchen to check and apologized saying there was a delay with the potatoes, but my partner got his with no problem? I then asked about the empanada that never came and again an apologize saying she forgot about the food not to mention that we ordered 2 different burgers and after a wait of 20 min the same burger was brought out to me. I never complain about vegan places I visit, but I would not reccomend this place, had a bad experience here. Also good to mention the place was not busy and there was so many delays.
