Everything was delicious - Edit
The empanadas, lasagna, cake and juice were all great. One of the things I love about Colombia is the fresh, unprocessed ingredients, and this place did not disappoint. I did ask them to remove the cheese since I'm vegan, which didn't happen, but other than that I enjoyed the entire meal

Incredibly decorated, amazing energy. The food was out of this world. Enjoyed the tofu eggs, pancakes with fruit, the frape coffee, and the ultimate dishes are the Parrillada and the empanadas.

Excellent menu of the day - Edit
We both had the menu of the day (soup and a plate with rice, salad and falafel) with some added protein in the form of tofu steaks (we paid extra for this). The juice was a little watery but everything else was top notch.

Une petite pépite - Edit
Ce restaurant est vraiment une adresse à retenir (et revenir!). Plusieurs salles, espaces aménagés et personnel très serviable. Le menu du midi à 12000COP est très satisfaisant, sûr qu'il ne vous laissera pas sur votre faim! Les plats sont vastes et variés: ils proposent littéralement de tout. Options vraiment multiples, 100% végétarien et la plupart des plats peuvent être vegan. Les combos certains jours sont une vraie offre.

Excellent food and service, so many options! - Edit
I've got to admit, I was a little overwhelmed with how many amazing dishes they had on the menu here. I had the mushroom crepes which were delicious and the next day I came back and had a slice of cake. Would recommend!

Very good - Edit
I paid 17000 for the Sunday menú del día, which is slightly more than normal in Colombia but this one is really, really very good. The fruit juice is actual pulverised fruit in a frosted tall cocktail glass and not just a fruit concentrate mix with water. The food is well spiced and adequate. Loved the soup!

Delicious and big variety - Edit
This became my favorite place during my stay in Cali because it was just around the corner to my hostel and I could order everything vegan. The food was delicious and they also have traditional food, which normally is not vegan. So a good place to try out.
Read moreThe atmosphere is wonderful, the staff and service friendly and fast. And the dessert is fantastic. The card has a big variety, so you could go there everyday for at least one week.
Pros: big variety, affordable, Delicious
Cons: not fully vegan

Good food and location - Edit
The day I went, they had a bowl of vegetable soup followed by the main plate that contained whole grain rice, fried soy croquettes and a cauliflower broccoli mixture in a sweet and sour sauce. It also came with a giant glass of fruit juice. I thought the food was good although not out of this world. The location is good as you're in a fairly turistic area with lots of things to see and do. Plus, there are plenty of vegetarian restaurants around.

Delicious!! - Edit
Tucked away down a quiet Cali street it would be easy to walk past this little gem. Luckily with the help of HappyCow and my map I was able to find it easily. The staff were super friendly and attentive and talked us through the menu. There were so many options that it was difficult to choose. My boyfriend decided on the oriental tofu soup and I had a quinoa and avocado salad with a lemonade. The food was delicious and so full of flavour! Definitely recommend trying the lemonade too!

Mucha variedad, precios altos // many options, a little expensive - Edit
El Buen Alimento está ubicado justo pasando la calle de Zanahoria Hostel (el único hostal vegano de Colombia en el que nos hospedamos), así que es bastante conveniente, el lugar es muy hermoso con excelente ambiente, tienen una carta súper amplia, con opciones de pasta, hamburguesas, sanduches, e incluso helado y torta vegana (El helado es muy delicioso), los precios son bastante altos comparados con los de los demás sitios en la zona, pero vale la pena pasar y probar algunas cosas, todo es muy rico y las porciones son grandes.

Pros: Excelente ambiente, Muchas opciones , Opciones de postres y helado veganos
Cons: Algo caro en comparación a la competencia, Sirven lácteos

Quite good - lots of choice - cake was a big let down - Edit
I came here for lunch. There was a lot of choice and I was attracted to a lot of the options. I had a chickpea burger in the end and it was very good. Not enough fried potatoes though. Side dips were really good but didn't feel there was enough food to fully utilise the dippiness of the dips. I had a mango juice and that was OK - although I've had much better across south america - they add water and dilutes the richness of the mango taste. I then sat around for a bit and chatted to another diner - who had the grill up and that looked nice. I then ordered a tea and a cake. The cake option I wanted wasn't available so I opted for a chocolate cake - a big let down - dry and tasteless. When I went to pay the other cake was available at the counter and it looked better.
Read moreThere are many vegan options except they are not marked clearly on the menu - which is a shame - so ask or if this is read by someone working there then indicate more clearly on the menu. It is also expensive relative to local prices. I liked the atmosphere.
Pros: Lots of options, Nice busy but pleasant atmosphere
Cons: Expensive by local standards, Very poor cake, Vegan options not clearly marked

Terrible experience - Edit
I came back here a week later with an additional 7 people to show how good it was and it was embarrassing how bad this experience was. First the was a hair on the empanada dish. My sister got parmesan cheese with her meal even though we told them we were vegan. Then my girlfriend found aluminum tinfoil in her dish which they offered to replace with a free meal , after multiple checks about gluten being in a dish they said no soon as I tasted it, there was soy sauce marinated tofu which main ingredient is wheat which I experienced stomach pains within 15 min. Then when it came to the bill we were charged for tamales which we asked for but they didnt have, so they removed it but the bill they hand wrote didnt add up. Then they re wrote it and got a different amount 3 times. Finally got it right in the last attempt. This was my girlfriends favourite restaurant in the entire world and was super excited to bring me when we traveled back to her home country from Canada. This was a big let down. On top of that, in response to my sister's facebook review they replied with lies saying we changed the bill our selves and that we put the hair in dish and that we were laughing about them not having meat in their dishes which is laughable since we are vegan and animal rights activists. Let's get something straight, they knew I was celiac and they still fed me a meal with gluten, I didn't as for it to be replaced and I didn't as for it to be taken off the bill, I just didn't eat it. I did however order a mocha and a dessert. I find it terrible that they are trying to save face instead of apologizing or trying to rectify a poor experience. It may have been a good restaurant once upon a time however in my recent experience it was a nightmare.
Read morePros: Empanadas tasted good. Mocha was alright.
Cons: Juice was really watered Down. Food was was lackin
