V Food Stall with Baked Goods - Edit
Updating the description now as it’s no longer a full restaurant, but the options are still good. Loved the empanada w mock meat and we also purchased an apple pie- loved every bite! They make a strawberry one as well as several breads and cinnamon rolls (without the glaze though).

Cheap snack options - Edit
Great place to stop while sightseeing in the center of Lima!
Read moreThe restaurant doesn’t have a seating area, only a small window from which they sell a few vegan goodies. Their food options include pizza, burger, cinnamon rolls, cookies and some other bread options. All of their food is really cheap with a small pizza only costing 5 soles and a burger available for 4 soles. Everything we tried tasted good but the pizza was our favorite as their vegan cheese on it was delicious!
Pros: Completely vegan , Really cheap

Bread and cakes from a window shop - Edit
We did not eat here, but we bought a lot of bread and sweets from the small shop in the window. The cakes are nice but a bit dry. The bread buns were delicious. Have a hot chocolate while you're here, it's with cinnamon.

Ventana Vegana is the best thing to happen to the center of Lima! - Edit
So I've never eaten inside Casa Vrinda but every time I am in the center, near Paseo Colon, I make sure to stop by la Ventana Vegana, an open-to-the-street window out of which they sell vegan pastries and desserts like brownies, banana bread, coconut peanut and date truffles and carrot cake! The prices range from 1-3 soles per portion, very very affordable and the same price as non-vegan pastries and treats you would find on the street. I always settle for the papa rellena (get it heated up with vegan mayo and salad) which is 2.50 and filled with soy meat and veggies (sometimes even two if I am quite hungry). The attention is quick and they serve you in compostable paper dishes and utensils!
Read morePros: cheap, reliable, yummy!
Cons: sometimes a place to sit down would be nice

Nice cheap meal - Edit
I liked it, nice menu del día for 8 soles, a bit basic but nutritious and I was looking for that. Tasty soup and rice with nicely flavoured lentils and plantain.

Vegan chances but weird attention - Edit
They have even a vegan snack window in the street, around 2 or 3 soles for snack. A kind young guy attending there. The food inside the restaurant is good. The price of the menu is around 8 to 12 soles. The attention is weird, sometimes people is correct, sometimes serious, sometimes rude.
Read moreOnce I came and a woman attending in spanish said "Que quieres"( what you want?) with a serious face, I don't know why some Hare Krishna people act like that. I am not asking a field of smiles but at least a kind soft smile and correct human treatment would be lovely.
You never know if they will treat you or not in a plolite way, really weird, i dont know if acting like this has something to do with a religious teaching, actually i saw this way to act more in women, no idea what is the reason, but it happened to me sometimes, maybe they are a bit bored of the clients, i never saw this weird way to treat customers in other not religious veg restaurants, so i dont know what to think about it. Religious people are suposed to be kinder, anyway.
Pros: Good food, Vegan chances, Variety
Cons: Mostly weird staff (serious, busy, rude?)

Makes me want to not be vegetarian - Edit
Even the good prices don't make up for the sad sad meals they give you. We ate there twice during the day which was a big mistake. For dinner they warm up their tasteless meals in the microwave. Nothing has any taste, spice, nutritional value or love. It's mostly fried stuff and white rice. Go to a different restaurant, I'm sure there are better vegan/ veggie options in Lima.
Read morePros: Nice pictures on the wall, Hippieish vibe, Price
Cons: Bad food, Sad food, Unhealthy foos

Simple food - Edit
The day I went, the food was very simple and basic. I wish I could give them a better rating, but I prefer food that is a little more inventive. The prices are certainly good, with prices starting at only 6 soles (about US$2) as of October 2014. Large dining room with lots of tables.
Read moreLocated on a street that goes by two different names (Paseo de Colon, and also by 9 de Diciembre). About a half block from the large Plaza Bolognesi (a traffic circle).
Pros: Location near the historic center
Cons: Too simple for my taste
