Seems the prices vary - Edit
The food was okay, but something made me incredibly ill. I ensured many times there was no peanuts, but I must have been allergic to something else. Anyways, my partner enjoyed it, but in the end, for a single lunch menu we were charged 20k. My partner is German, so many they paid the white ppl tax (?), but it seems others pay 17k, 18k… well, you might want to ask before ordering to be sure. For reference, a menu like this in other places range from 12-16k on average. 😌

Hope that didn't kill your travel budget too much.

It’s alright. I just know those meals typically go for about 12k so the concept of paying almost double just took us by surprise. We’ll ask ahead next time 😅

I haven't seen meals that cheap in the hip veggie stores of the big cities of Colombia

They’re everywhere. Santa Marta has a few. I saw two just yesterday. Unfortunately I don’t remember any of their names, but you can try asking locals for a typical “almuerzo” place. They should be able to tell you the nearest one. It’s usually a place with outdoor seating and mostly residents of the area (no English menus and such). ☺️

Veggie/vegan also? Only saw a few?
Read moreHuraiquire
No, just “regular” restaurants that can make the almuerzos with more beans/lentils and add patacones, plus reduce the price. They can veganise it. I also saw some places offer egg to vegetarians instead of meat, so vegetarian options are available too. Animal based is about 15-16k, veggie 14k usually and vegan 12k. We get around the villages like this, since my partner and I have been backpacking Colombia for 90days today! We’re on our way out now due to visas, but yeah some veggie places offer similar prices, which vegan places more often than not charging more. Medellin and Bogota are the most competitive, so you can find vegan veggie places with also similar prices.

Restaurante y cafeteria con buena oferta - Edit
El lugar resulta ideal para cualquier momento del día, cuenta con productos de panadería, embutidos, bebidas frías y calientes, como opciones para el desayuno y almuerzo, con platos a la carta y menú del día, la atención es bastante amable y está ubicado por los bancos del centro histórico.

Relación calidad-precio insuperable - Edit
Por 17.000 pesos (menos de 4€) tienes un plato completo más bebida. Le dije a la mujer que era vegano y me dijo entre qué opciones podía elegir para completar el plato. Repetí las croquetas (especie de burger de falafel). Recomendable.

What a pleasant surprise this place was. A good meal of the day and a menu of day where you can chose 4 items from the list or display cabinet. At a reasonable price (COP 17,000)and speedy service. I think this will become our go to place in Santa Marta.

Awesome place, no that far from Santa Marta's Bay. For lunch they have several different options at affordable price. Some of them have cheese and some vegan options have soy cheese. You can make a healthy balanced plate high on protein.

Great deal but strange - Edit
They only had one vegan dinner option when I was there but it was a big one for only 17.000 Colombian pesos (~3.50USD) and included vital wheat gluten! A bit heavy on the carbs otherwise though. Also they were confused when I asked if any of the desserts were vegan; they basically said “you want without milk or eggs? Um, they’re baked goods.” They seated me at a table in the store part, which was a strange dining experience.

Simple and good - Edit
I loved this place. Had rice, another grain dish, chickpea curry/soup and a veggie dish with cold lovely mint tea. All vegan and very tasty. Big portions and filling. Great value for money at COP 11,500 (about £3/4). Cafeteria like dining area and very helpful staff, who made an effort with my lack of Spanish.

Excelente lugar en el centro histórico - Edit
Este lugar me gustó mucho pues a pesar de estar en el centro histórico de Santa Marta, no es pretencioso, buscando cobrar de más como en otros lugares de esa zona. La atención es muy buena. Si se quieren productos veganos, hay que preguntar, pero ellos tienen una buena variedad de comidas, tortas y unos deliciosos jugos que preparan con leche de soya. También venden embutidos y tofu.
Read morePros: Precio justo, Sabor y variedad de comidas, Tienda de embutidos vegetales
Cons: Horario

Source for vegan products - Edit
This restaurant also has a retail section. They have incredible home-made tamales that are made with something like a gluten-free Tofurky sausage inside. Fantastic quality, wrapped in banana leaves. They will heat it up there for you, or you can get it for take out. They also sell tofu, some vegan meats, great vegan cookies and some whole wheat bread rolls. A great place to stock up on items if you plan on heading to Palomino afterwards, where such vegan products are not sold.
