Traditional food with some waiting time - Edit
The food was really good and a great way to taste traditional food in vegan. However took some time to arrive and drinks came after the food. I guess it's because most things are made fresh and the owner hires too little staff.
Read moreVery kind personal though! 🙂
Shout out also to the woman producing the ice cream with so much enthusiasm 🍨

Great Food - Slowest Service - Edit
I have gone twice and really enjoy the food, as it is tasty.
Read moreBoth times it takes about 30 - 40 minutes to get what you ordered. In fairness the first I got my latte in 25 minutes.
If there were a lot people it would be more understandable but the first time there were 3 tables and today I was the first to order and there was only one other couple.
It is mind boggling.

Bandeja Paisa - Edit
I went here for lunch. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Something that bothered me was that there were lots of problems with the speaker playing music.
Read moreI had the Bandeja Paisa (40.000 COP) and a marimba (6.000 COP). It all tasted well and the Bandeja Paisa was quite a big portion, which I appreciated.

Wonderful! - Edit
I had one of the specials which was a Lebanese meal. It was wonderful. Big portions and tasty. It's a lovely place to sit and they have a bakery, ice cream bar and art gallery. The menu del dia changes every day and it's amazing...usually around 28000. They also sell organic produce, - vegetables, fruit, and many other things.

Super - Edit
Probably my favorite place in Medellín. The staff was incredibly friendly, all smiles and even helped a person who was a bit sick and refused to accept anything for helping. Speaks volumes. The food was great at a nice price. They have a little store with lots of goodies inside as well. I got the tofu scramble plate and added queso for my arepa to go with maracuya juice. Everything was delicious, I wanted to get more to go but didn’t have the time. Just really happy to see such kind people. Amazing food.

The BEST - Edit
This was our absolute favorite place while visiting Medellin. The menu rotated daily and we could always count on it to be high quality. Dishes varied between world cuisines and local. Service was slow but excellent, like visiting a fine-dining restaurant but you get to sit outdoors (with a cover if it's raining). There was a market with food, clothing, and toiletries. And the chef spoke with us and immediately made friends. We dined here several times while we were in Medellin.
Read morePros: Unique, well prepared foods, Friendly staff and top notch service, Lovely ambiance

Delicioso pero un poco lento - Edit
Estuve a la hora del almuerzo probando el menú del día y me encantó, ese día era menú italiano que consistía en sopa, pasta con albóndigas de lentejas, ensalada, jugo y postre. Todo muy rico. Aunque el servicio es un poco lento. Hay que tener buen tiempo disponible para esperar por la comida.

cheap and cosy - Edit
ordered the menú del día, which was Mexicana Miércoles today. came with a berry juice, soup, a main and a little sweet at the end, all for COP25K. more specifics on the main, translated from their menu:
Read more“Aztec soup accompanied by avocado corn, sour cream and nachos. Carrot and turmeric brown rice accompanied by a bed of lettuce with guacamole and pico de gallo option of burrito, bowl or taco (this taco is seasonal), stuffed with refried beans and ground lentil meat.”
though nothing mind blowing, dishes were flavourful and cheap. 4⭐️ for that!
Pros: cheap menu of the day, cosy terrace

Mi nuevo restaurante favorito 😋 - Edit
El lugar es muy amplio y hay diferentes espacios, al aire libre, en un jardín y al interior donde hay una exposición de arte. Los platos son abundantes y deliciosos, a mis dos acompañantes no vegetarianos les encantó al igual que a mí. Los empleados son encantadores y amables, excelente servicio. Me obsequiaron un cupcake y un bello mensaje porque me encontraba celebrando mis grados. Todo estuvo perfecto.

The Best Vegan Experience in Medellín - Edit
It was our first lunch experience in a restaurant in Colombia. I believe we started with a golden key. We ordered La Bandeja Paisa. The experience was spectacular. The chef commented to us that her son studies in Brazil and the attendant had several Brazilian relatives and spoke Portuguese. Very welcoming atmosphere and on the day we were fascinated by the loud music played in the kitchen by the cooks. Everyone singing loudly a song (half reggaeton, half electronic), I found the experience very cool. Without a doubt, it was the best gastronomic experience (typical food, service, atmosphere, music, welcome) that we had in all of Colombia.
Read moreFoi nossa primeira experiência de almoço num restaurante na Colômbia. Acredito que começamos com chave de ouro. Pedimos uma bandeja Paisa. A experiência foi espetacular. A chef comentou com a gente que o filho dela estuda no Brasil e a atendente tinha vários parentes brasileiros e falava português. Ambiente bastante acolhedor e, no dia, ficamos fascinados com a música alta tocada na cozinha pelos cozinheiros. Todo mundo cantando alto uma música (meio reggaeton, meio eletrônica), achei bem legal a experiência. Sem dúvida alguma, foi a melhor experiência gastronômica (comida típica, atendimento, ambiente, música, acolhimento) que tivemos em toda a Colômbia.

Very delicious food! - Edit
When I came to this restaurant they had a delicious Mexican special which my friend and I ordered.
Read moreAnother friend had the arabica dish (I cannot recall the exact name).
We all loved our dishes! They were very tasty and filling.
With our Mexican dish they gave us some vegan cream cheese on the side without having to ask. They also gave us more nachos upon request with no additional charge.
Service was great as well.
The only thing is we did not love the desserts, the tiramisu was pretty good but the oat cup we did not really care for. May be just us though.
Pros: Very tasty, Great service
