Delicious - Edit
First place we tried in La Forth a after finding it on Happy Cow. I got an oat milk iced latte and my friend got a piña colada (not sure if this was vegan). We got the crema de ayote & the Patacones for appetizers. The Patacones were sooo good! We got the vegan Casado and especial de quinoa. Both were very good, but the Patacones were our favorite! The staff was great and asked about allergies when we ordered which I appreciate as I have an egg allergy.

Yummy! - Edit
We loved this place and came here every day that we could. They have a separate vegan/vegetarian menu that you have to ask for. Although after our first visit they already knew and we didn’t have to ask again. The hummus was amazing… the first time we shared it but it was so good that the future visits we got our own order. The bread alone was to die for. The Greek salad was delicious but for vegan you just have to ask for vegan cheese instead. I also had the nachos which was too much for one person but also very good. Don’t let the picture fool you, there’s a lot of deliciousness buried under the guac! And I tried the falafel sandwich which was good. I got it with fries which were delicious. The service was great here. We are definitely going to miss this place!

Easy to eat vegan - Edit
The vegan options here were clearly labeled and they had a large range of mostly Costa Rican food.

Extra vegan+vegetarian menu - Edit
They have a separate menu with vegan and vegetarian options that are clearly labeled. The food was good. Just mention if you don't like cilantro/ coriander because it was also in dishes where we didn't expect it. The portion sizes were too big for us to finish, luckily they have takeaway boxes. We were able to pay by card.

Very tasty food - Edit
Vegetarian Quesadilla was tasty and the pasta pomodoro and garlic bread was equally as good. Imperial beers but the red wine was poor or not to our taste.

Expensive but fresh food from a varied menu - Edit
Our food was a bit plain and messy to eat, but there were lots of vegan choices from the large menu at this downtown La Fortuna restaurant. For typical Costa Rican food, you could get similar plates with better value elsewhere, but I do have confidence that here they were 100% vegan. Fruit smoothie/juice drinks were huge!

The dedicated vegan menu feautres both local classics land globally inspired comfort dishes - Edit
Chances are, you’ll be driving into Fortuna from the east on your way to see Mount Arenal. And if you’re hungry, keep driving to the west side of town and grab a bite to eat at Green Spoon. After the long 4-hour drive from San Jose through sometimes steep, windy, and pot-hole-ridden roads, The Green Spoon’s casado tipico and vegan burger were delicious and nourishing. The dedicated vegan menu thoughtfully features both local classics, like chifrijo, and globally inspired comfort dishes, like the pasta pomodoro. It’s the perfect welcome after a demanding journey, refueling you for the adventures ahead. #vegan #plantbased #lafortuna #costarica #puravida

Deliciosa - Edit
I had spotted the menu earlier in the day and decided to to try for dinner. There are plenty of vegan options and the food was delicious. and fresh! The service very kind and friendly and I sat facing the street watching tourists duck the rain, it was a chill relaxing time!
Read moreImportant, most all sit down food bills are padded with 10% tip, being American I tipped up as customary for good service! So add on as appropriate for great food & service here!
Pros: Fresh , Hummus so Creamy, Attentive and relaxing service

Plenty of options but flavour was meh - Edit
We tried the nachos after reading so many good reviews, and whilst we appreciate that they make their vegan cheese in house, it made the whole dish taste of coconut, so we ended up leaving 90% of it uneaten. The patacones were really nice, as was the casada, with the quinoa fritters a really nice touch, but the chifrijo was quite dry and lacked flavour. The burgers that were coming out looked really good and maybe we should have tried them instead - I would be careful about getting the homemade vegan cheese though! Very pricey place, so beware - the casada, patacones, nachos and chifrijo came to 32,000 colones!

Lots of options - Edit
There were lots of options. We had the nachos, which were pretty good. I really liked the falafel burger but the quesadilla did not taste the best. It had a lot of veggies in it that we didn’t ask for and weren’t on the menu. The drinks were delicious and the staff was lovely.

Lots of vegan options but could be better - Edit
I liked that the vegan options were clearly labeled and there were so many options. I had the quesadilla and it wasn’t fantastic - seemed like a cooked frozen veggie mix with their house made cheese sauce. I barely had any cheese in my quesadilla too. Maybe some of the other dishes are better but this didn’t stand out for me.

Good Food but pricey - Edit
I had a good quesadilla. Saidly it’s really made for tourist that’s why the prices are quite high. Nevertheless the staff was super friendly.

A great, healthy meal! - Edit
We stopped in for dinner after a long day and were not disappointed! The food was all fresh, the portions huge, and they had really yummy smoothies as well. We had veggie burgers and the chifrijo vegano. The dessert, a vegan brownie with ice cream, was the only disappointment. It was more of a raw chocolate tart and the ice cream seemed old - there was a huge chunk of ice in the middle of it. Skip dessert and enjoy a great dinner!

Huge portions, super delicious - Edit
I wish we had come here before our last night. I would have come more than once. I made the mistake of ordering a salad and quesadillas and couldn’t even finish half. The portions were giant for the price.

Many vegan options - Edit
There is an apart vegetarian/vegan menu. Vegan options are available in every section of the menu and are clearly marked.
Read moreI had the vegan quesadilla. The presentation was very good. The portion as well. The vegan cheese was on a base of coconut butter. The taste of coconut had become a bit too strong for me, since I don’t expect this in a quesadilla dish.
