Curry night

Delightful curry that they claim is vegan (I’m always skeptical, but hey) … their pad Thai is more “straightforward” vegan. Appreciated a good feed!

Wonderful!

I had the vegan pad Thai and it was soooo yummy!!! My partner had a non vegan dish and he loved his too. All the food looked delicious! Try this place!

Pros: Great food, Good vibe

Cons: Unpredictable hours

Good food, but slow service and no vegan protein

Finding a vegan-friendly place for dinner on Utila was proving to be difficult. But after finding the Vegan Utila Facebook group, I saw that The Pelican posted there every day with their daily specials, which always has a vegetarian/vegan option. When we went, the specials were curry with rice or kung pao with rice. We got the vegan option of each and were served lots of veggies in flavorful sauce with a scoop of rice. There was no vegan protein option available for these specials unfortunately, but it included a mix of veggies, broccoli, and some peanuts/sesame seeds.

Though the food was good, there were some downsides to the place. The restaurant is upstairs and open-air, so in September the hottest month, it was pretty hot though there were fans going. It also took a long time to get our food and service was not super attentive. Also, for a place that was pretty expensive (240L for two entrees and one beer) I was surprised that they don’t take card, only cash.

Overall, this is a really good dinner option and would definitely go back. They are open Mon-Thursday 11-1:30 for lunch and 5:30-8:30 for dinner and Friday 11-2. Closed weekends.

Pros: Vegan specials available every day, Flavorful food

Cons: Cash only, Long wait
