Really sweet

Cute place and food was delicious. The owner was very chatty and helpful, he assisted us with a contact for transport for the airport outside of bus operating times. Would definitely go back.

Range of options

Good range of options in an excellent location of the sweet town Salento, the empanadas were extremely oily (I know it's how it is on the street) just a bit too much for me. The meatballs in the mixed plate were really good.

Mejor veggie en Quindío

Muy bueno todo, especialmente los platos típicos (sopa de frijoles y el ajiaco) y muy muy buenos los jugos naturales (sobre todo el de lulo y el de guanábana). Hemos comido y cenado los 4 días que hemos estado en Salento. El personal muy atento y majo. El local muy bonito. Altamente recomendado

Nice spot

Perfect post-bike ride fuel at Serendipia! Their vegan ajiaco was a revelation, rich, warming broth with tender potatoes, corn, and aromatic herbs served in a traditional clay pot with banana, rice and avocado. The guanabana juice was perfectly sweet, while the fresh baguette was ideal for soaking up every drop of that incredible soup. After cycling through Quindío’s stunning landscapes, this nourishing meal hit every spot. This place is vegetarian, just check the dishes that could be suitable for vegans.

Hay mejores opciones

Precios más elevados de la media, pero disfruté el ceviche vegano y los champiñones rebozados (vegetarianos).
El plato de pasta bastante sin más, poca cantidad y el sabor no estaba muy allá.

NO ES UN SITIO VEGETARIANO. Es un restaurante omnívoro con (muchas) opciones vegetarianas y veganas, pero tiene productos que contienen carne.

🍕 Vegan Pizza with a Twist

🍕 Pizza Funghi with Tofu (39.000 COP)
🍕 Pizza Coca Veggie (39.000 COP)

They do not have vegan cheese but add tofu on request which was somehow quite nice to be honest. The Pizza dough is crispy and not like a Neapolitan pizza but we have enjoyed it a lot either way.

On the table they add seasoning like oregano or chili oil...

So its not typical Italian pizza experience but really nice though. Recommend!🌱

Would love if they'd add vegan cheese though 🧀

Lo recomiendo

Fui con un grupo grande de personas veganas y no veganas y a todos nos encantó. Yo pedí la cazuela de frijoles y el postre de chocolate (el mejor que he probado). Espectacular todo

Yummy, big portions

La comida está rica y con un poco más de sal, quedó sabroso. Me gustaría un poco más de arroz, pero el plato más el jugo de mango-oof quede llenísima. Costoso claro por estar en un lugar turístico, pero el plato se pueden compartir. 👌

Pros: Delicious and large portions okay to share

Cons: Not fully vegan

Surprisingly good

I was very skeptical going into this meal and was pleasantly surprised! We had the mushroom ceviche, pesto pasta, and a burger and it was all really delicious. The portions were also big. I wish they had more vegan options but overall it was good.

Pros: Dishes are well done

Cons: Needs more vegan options

Wonderful vegan choices

My husband and I ate there two nights in a row, yes, it is that good. We can recommend the Veggies del Wok, Quinoa Soup, Falafel appetizer and their home fries with skin (papas con cascas), as well as BlackBerry juice drink (Jugo de Mora). All items were delicious, served freshly made and nicely plated. Don't miss this place in Salento. Some items are vegetarian but we ate the vegan ones. Nice service and ambiance

Pros: Delicious vegan ootions, Served freshly made, Nice quiet ambiance, good service

Nice vegan Burger

All Burgers can be made vegan (with Tofu, instead of cheese) and they even added some Avocado, as I asked for it.

Pros: Both deserts are vegan

Cons: Vegan choices are not labeled

Great veg and vegan options, wish we had more time in Salento. Had the falafels, Andian Burger and Ancestral Rice. For dessert the Dark Manchin was AMAZING

Great service and many options

The wok veggies were a big portion/ great.

The pitta bread served with the humous could have been softer however, as they were rock hard!

The falafels were average and a little on the dry/ crumbly side.

not bad

3 stars for the tasty vegan ‘ceviche’.. wish it came with more crackers/toast. 2 vegan desserts on the menu.. the molten lava cake was ok, nothing mind blowing, but certainly satisfied my sweet craving!
***
had the quinoa soup another time.. while wholesome, it was a tad bland.

Great location

This is right on the main shopping street. We got there at 6:30 and there was no one there but there were people waiting for tables when we left, so get there already. There is no meat served but some dishes had cheese. I enjoyed my stir fry but my friend said the mushroom pizza was bland. My husband really liked the cazuela frigoles.

Pros: Great location , Lots of vegan options

Cons: Some dishes were bland

Okay

We had the ancestral rice and the bean casserole and unfortunately they had no flavour. Really sad because they looked good.
Service was quick and friendly!

A lot of options, food is nice

I had the vegan pizza (no cheese) and it was very nice.
I also saw that their pastas contain no eggs (it says so on the menu). Pleasant staff, a bit pricey for this area but very much ok.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Nice staff

Okay...

We had the portobello burger and the rice bowl. The burger was a good idea, but a bit bland in taste and the taste of the bread dominated the whole burger. I liked the tofu in the bowl, but I would've liked more veggies. They offer a great variety and it all sounds great and the taste is good, but not extraordinary.

Pros: Clearly labeled options , Fast and friendly service

Cons: A bit bland in taste, Huge TV screen (showing a blogger eating meat)
