Wonderful place in Lima ❤️

I was so hungry after visiting different parts of Peru. When I was eating in RAW Cafe I finally felt happy (and full).

Pros: Soooo tasty!, Big portions , English speaking service

Top notch spot for vegans in Lima

Great atmosphere, and even better food! The girlfriend and I were coming off a long flight, and it was really nice to have walk to a spot that catered to vegans. The bowls were awesome, and the vegan waffles were some of the best we've ever had!

EXCELLENT Plant Based Cafe with many delicious options!

My boyfriend and I loved our experience at this cafe. There are so many healthy options and everything we ordered was so delicious! The building is very nicely decorated, with plants all around the outside of the building and inside was cute and minimalistic too.

The waitress was very sweet, although she did not speak English. That was no problem for us cause if we visit a country WE should be making an effort to learn THEIR language, not getting upset if they don’t speak ours.

The Kichari, Buddha bowl and waffles were our favorites, as well as the verde hulk smoothie.

HIGHLY recommend this place to all plant based lovers out there!!

Pros: Lots of plant based options , Quinoa Waffles were AWESOME!!, Very clean & nicely decorated (so inviting)

Cons: Menu is only in Spanish , Waitress is SO sweet, but no English

TWO FAVORITES

WRAP VITAL is a personal favorite. You'll feel like in heaven when you're done. In e/ savory bite you get coconut bacon, purple cabbage, kale, carrot, avocado, sprouts and cashew vegan cheese.

MUSHROOM BURGUER itself is good. The bread kind of ruins the whole concept though. The inside is too dense and dry. The rest compensates it greatly. Rich taste.

Pretty good

It’s a great place, they have a great variety of dishes. I absolutely loved their dahl, it was great. The gnocchi was pretty decent, but the falafel wraps were just awful. For dessert we had waffles which were pretty good.

Overall it depends on what you order. Some dishes are great, some dishes are horrible.

Pros: Lots of variety, Great dishes

Cons: Some dishes aren’t that good

Healthy haven

When you want something super healthy, this place is a great option.

I ordered a green tea and an acai bowl, which was beautiful and really tasty! The service was quick and friendly too, ideal.

Pros: Healthy treats, Nice atmosphere, Friendly

Great

This place is great, so many vegan options to choose from. I had the 'Proteico' bowl - it was huge and absolutely delicious. If I was in Lima for longer I would have gone back to try something else.

Pros: Loads of options. Great tasting food.

The food is pretty good

The selection is great, and the food is pretty delicious. However, I do have some feedback (I use to work in the service industry for close to 10 years in quality places):

1. Peru depends on tourism, and the second most widely spoken language is English next to "Chinese". That said, please have an up to date English menu if the staff speaks limited English. There was an English menu but I was told it was old and not current.

2. The staff came over and took the order of 2/3 of us as I was still trying to understand the menu between the old and new menu. Even though I wasn't ready they placed the other two orders which came out yet my guests had to wait for mine to come out. Put the order in all at once, and make sure you have the correct count per dish. We did not order two salads (now you have unnecessary food waste).

3. We had to flag down the server all the time. No one came to check on us. The things I asked for did not come out — I had to remind them. Be more customer service focused as it was not that busy and your service was slow. Staff were leaning up behind the counter and just chatting... not a very good look.

4. The woman doing our cheques could not do simple math and was very confused. Patrons: be sure to check the bill and make sure the math is correct. Somehow $100s - $60s= $39s and I was asked to give her $1s to round up?

5. The burger and side potato's are small. I think the portions should be more generous than that for what you're paying.

Pros: Decent enough place to visit and eat

Cons: See the above.

Great food!

Nicely decorated restaurant. Only foreign clients. Menu is in Spanish. If you ask, they can provide you with the old menu in English (prices and dishes mostly the same). I had the camote & cheese buddha bowl. Tasted amazing!!! Great portion size!
I had the Royal verde fruit smoothie, was kind of bland.
Definitely recommended if you like "instagramworthy food".

Pros: Delicious buddha bowls

So many different delicious meals

Almost couldn't decide because there are so many different delicious meals. Took the Dhal with spinach fritters which tasted fantastic. Portion was rather small, but ok for me. Would definitely go again.

Pros: Lots of different menus

Cons: Sometimes rather small portions (depends on menu)

Delicious food. The Dahl masala is exactly the warmth my stomach needed.

This was such good food! The best Dahl soup I’ve had and the spinach fritters that come with it are such a good touch! I wish I wasn’t traveling alone so that I can try a few different dishes. Definitely a must!

Pros: All Vegan

Tasty 👌🏼

I had the mush burger, it was really delicious but the potatoes were a bit cold and dry.
They also got a variety of fresh juices and smoothies 👌🏼

Not raw, but great

Name a little misleading, but nice food. Starter arrived after the main course, but no big deal. Food was good, but not superb. Nochi was a bit soggy, but generally quite ok, lovely space. I would definitely go back. I hope they can push their cooking just an extra inch to make 5 stars :-)

Precio alto

Un jugo y un sándwich para llevar: 34 soles.
La atención no fue mala aunque si tardaron unos quince minutos apróx. en traerme el jugo y otros veinte en traerme el sándwich. Le pedí que me recomendara un jugo a un trabajador de la tienda y fue atento. 👍

One of the best options but bad attention

I use to go almost once per week. The bowls are excellent and the smoothies very delicious. The new staff can make your stay a very bad experience, the dishes are served incomplete and take extremely long! No apologies at all

Pros: Many options

Cons: Very bad staff

Comida maravillosa, pésima atención

Fuimos a almorzar con una amiga y la comida es increíble. Pero la atención es pésima y el tiempo de espera muy largo. Opaca todo lo bueno que tiene el local en comida.

Pros: Todas las opciones veganas, Excelentes sabores, Buena presentación

Cons: Pésima atención, Mucho tiempo de espera, Personal poco simpático

Perfect 1st vegan meal on Peru adventure!

Had a great lunch at the Raw Cafe Miraflores with my fiance on the 1st leg of our Peru holiday. We had the nuggets for entree along with buddha bowl and falafal for mains. Was really tasty and good value would recommend to all. Only negative point is that we walked straight past the entrance as its not well signed from the road and behind shutters, you just need to press bel to get in 😁

Pros: Full vegan menu, Quiet setting

Cons: Viability from the road

Something else

Really nice food, freshly made and delicious. Great variety of choices. However we ordert two Buddha bowls and only got one (cause they thought we wanted to share). In general that's a mistake that can happen but if you think someone wants to share you usually check whether you got that right - and afterwards you could at least say you're sorry. Had to wait for only 5 more mins, that was a plus. Food was 5 stars, service lost them one ;)

Pros: Completely vegan, many raw foods (clearly labeled)

Cons: Not cheap for Peruvian standards , Great variety if weird + expensive drinks, Too little more common drink choices
