Ok lunch menu

We got the lunch menu (including soup and juice) on a Friday for around 21 000 COP and it was quite ok. The bean soup was fine, the bowl a little boring and flavors seemed to be put together randomly, but still a simple and quite ok lunch. We ordered a coffee (around 7 000) and a brownie (around 11 000) after and found both quite ridiculous for the price. The brownie was a very thin slice and tiny, and the coffee cup half full (it was a regular amount, but they better use a smaller cup if they don’t want to serve more coffee). I think you can get a lot better coffee for the same price elsewhere and the brownie was just a joke.

Pros: Decent lunch menu on weekdays

Cons: Go elsewhere for coffee and sweets

It's a good option

We went for breakfast and had the tacos, which were tasty but very wet, and the samosas, which were quite tasty. They came with regular hot sauce from a bottle. We also ordered expresso, but tyrns out they just had filtered coffee, which was weak and tasted of the chlorinated tap water. The placed looked nice and had plenty of options on the menu, but I wouldn't make a detour for it if there are other plant based restaurants nearby.

Pros: Tasty food, Location was close to where we were

Cons: Food was good not great, Coffee needs improvement

yummy vegan restaurant!

Their burger and empanadas are amazing, very savoury and crispy. Also the tropical icecream with the dense chocolate brownie was amazing! Also loved the decor and the friendly staff, they were always there to help. 😍 Recommended!

Pros: 100% vegan, yummy flavourful food, friendly service, beautiful decor

Cons: pricy (Poblado-prices), my friend's healthy bowl wasn't that good

Love it!

Great cafe/restaurant. The staff is very friendly, the building looks very nice and the food is amazing. I came here a handful of times, the first time I ordered a yellow fruits smoothie bowl and avocado toast. The second time I got the empanadas and hotdogs, and I've been trying other things like the French toast and a noodle stir fry. Give this one a try!

Awesome french toast

We went their for breakfast and tried the french toast and the waffle with guacamole and hummus and both options tasted great. The restaurant is completely vegan and they have several more options for breakfast as well as burger and pizza. Also, their homemade cake looks amazing, we might have to come back for that. They also have a small store section inside the restaurant in which you can buy peanut butter and some other vegan goods.

Pros: Completely vegan, Friendly staff, Great taste

Nice and fresh

The food here was good: fresh, homemade, and tasty. It took a little bit to come out, but the space is beautiful: high ceilings, airy, bright, just a super pleasant place to hang out and wait.

There’s also a little miniature market that sells various vegan goods!

Decent food

The service is really slow, even though the restaurant wasnt really busy. I ordered the mini empanadas which were really tasty and one of the bowls. The taste was decent but it was good to have so much protein in one bowl.

They changed the name to Chana!

Great food and nice restaurant. They sign says Chana - plant based, so it wasn’t hard to find even with the changed name!

Rica comida, regular atención

La comida es muy rica, pero la atención es muy regular-mala. Pocos protocolos de bioseguridad, casi todo el tiempo están sin tapabocas.

Typical

This place is open for lunch but it has no menu, it simply offers "Menu El Dia".

The set lunch is the fare so usual in Colombia of vegetarian places - some boring salad, with some rice and a tiny bit of vegetable protein. Quite bland, very typical and uninspired. There is also a stew/soup which was a little better.

There were 2 vegan dessert options, but neither were a part of the set lunch.

Overall, I found the food very boring - both in terms of flavour and in terms of imagination.

EDIT: this place now (Oct 2020) has a menu with decent options, and has improved considerably.

Pros: Good location, Decent options, Reasonable prices

Most healthy place in Medellin

Was very Happy to find this place in central poblado . Nice cute restaurant with a changing menu of the day. In two months of visiting it was never the same twice and always something creative , healthy and balanced . The price is very cheap especially when you see the effort and love that goes into the food
Great friendly staff and food served very quickly making it perfect for a lunch break .

Pros: Always different and creative , Always healthy , Cheap and good quality!

Fixed menu- there is a dish a day. When I went there they offered a curry lentil soup, with a side salad and strawberry juice. It was all delicious and I would definitely go back!
