Rudest Staff Ever
We arrived in Medellin late, and were excited there was a veg option open late (most Colombian veg restaurants only serve lunch, and a select few keep 6-9pm dinner hours). the hours on Happy Cow said 5pm-12pm, but may vary. We called, and they said they were open until 11:30pm tonight. When we arrived at 11pm, hoping to get some food to go, the kitchen staff yelled CERRADO out of the window next to the front door, and when I questioned the hours clearly posted on a blackboard outside of the door, the cook started mocking me and yelled CERRADO (closed) again... WOW! I definitely wouldn't have wanted to have eaten food prepared by someone with terrible energy, so in a way I was grateful for it not working out. Beware of bad vibes, even if you do catch them when they're taking customers....
Pros: Open late... lol. Not really.
Cons: Rude and unfriendly employees, Sketchy area, Inconsistent hours
Hip and hyped
We tried to visit this place Saturday evening and found the place overly crowded. We were offered to get a number and wait for a free table - together with something like 10 others. Chose to come by another day. We instead came in on Sunday right when they opened at 5 pm. The place were almost filled in half an hour. True they have vegan options, but it's all side dishes, none of the pizzas are vegan. Still they don't have a problem making one with a smile. The pizza was fine, the tomato base could use a lot more spices and the pizza had too much filling. It was good enough but for 22500 cop, they need to make a better effort.. the place is cool and you can sit outside downstairs by the park and upstairs in the crowded area by the kitchen and bar. Warm atmosphere, good music and really nice staff. Give it a try!
nice atmosphere
The restaurant looks really great, the staff is kind, but its not exactly vegan friendly, all menu (besides the only salad option) is about pizza, in order make it vegan you'll have to take out not only the cheese but many itens, such as onions, that are prepared with butter, since they have no vegan cheese the result is quite unappealing.
Pros: opened till late (but the kitchen closes at 10 pm)
Cons: the only vegan options are boring pizzas and a sal
No vegan options
I went in December because it was the evening and there are few vegan dining options open in the evening in Medellin.
The place was packed and loud with music. Had to wait for a table and was seated in the cramped garden at the back.
The menu arrived and there were no vegan options, only pizza. Sure, I could take out the cheese and several other critical options, but whats left, given the ingredients that the place has, is rather unappealling. I just had a beer and left due to lack of vegan dining options.
Cons: No vegan options, Overcrowded and loud

It is not vegan-friendly - Edit
Its not a vegan-friendly. It is vegetarian friendly... but not vegan except some normal entrees (chips, potatoes, etc...).
