Not great for pasta - Edit
Probably my fault for ordering pasta and not a local dish which I imagine would taste better. 3/4 pasta dishes are vegan/can be made vegan but the cannelloni wasn’t actually pasta haha. It was a wrap with rice and bolognese on top?? Unexpected but alright. Spaghetti bolognese was also alight but pasta was overcooked / too soft for my liking. Not a lot of choice in Ica though and staff were nice.

Delicious crunchy small sandwiches - Edit
I liked the breakfast here, variety of natural fresh smoothie options, the service is very friendly, the food tastes good, and the prices are very affordable. I was surprised to find out that this small restaurant has been opened since 1982, my experience here was superb!.
Read moreI went back to this restaurant for lunch many times, I always got the dayli menu and most of the time the food was okay, they always offered three options for the main dish one of them would be for low calorie diet and the other two, vegetarian options inspired in Peruvian cuisine.

Simple and delicious breakfast for a decent price - Edit
I came here first thing after arriving to Ica for the first time. They offered the breakfast menu which was a strawberry smoothie, cooked oats, and 3 breads with avocado. It was simple, but tasty. It was cheap and worth it. One bad thing, the waitress advised us to move further away from the entrance because we he bags and she said the area is dangerous 😨 . Edit: I went back for lunch and it was cold and tasted so bad that I didn’t eat it.

Ica Flagship - Edit
I liked the restaurant as it’s a normal down earth non touristic veggie place. I only saw locals eating here. The lunch menu is cheap (10/S) and comes with 3 plates drink. The food was not super special but tasty and compared to what to find in Ica I think that’s the best choice.
Read moreIt’s also possible to get a breakfast menu which consists of 2-3 breads, marmelade, olives, (for me no butter and no egg), and Avena (Peruvian common breakfast oatmeal). The coffee as mentioned before is just instant coffee with not so good tasting hot water (but imho it’s not horrible).

ok vegan menu, filling and cheap - Edit
One of the only options when in Ica city. The waitress knew what vegan was and gave us some options (not many as the rest is vegetarian). The soup was tasty, the meal consisted of rice with lentils and fried eggplant. The taste was ok but the eggplant could have been crispier and hotter. The salad was a bit weird. Nevertheless very cheap local food and filling! But don't order coffee here! It's horrifying!
Read morePros: some vegan options, waitress is helpful, cheap and local
Cons: not the best taste, horrible coffee, could be more vegan options

Peruvian Restaurant - Edit
I think I was the only traveler there. It felt very authentic. Staff was nice and food was good, although nothing special or outstanding. However, it was very cheap. I payed S/ 8.00 for drink, salad and main dish.
Read moreThey have a different menu every day and I could choose between several options.

Delicious traditional and filling food - Edit
The menue of the day was very delicious and at a very good price! Although it is a menue, you have choices and it has four courses. The service was quick and friendly. They also spoke English. I and my non-veg friend would definitely recommend it!

Nice vegetarian eatery - Edit
I was there for lunch and asked for the vegan menu options.
Read moreThe waitress said all is vegan. But when it was time for dessert (they had nice looking cakes and pies) she said they werent vegan.
So i guess sometimes they have vegan days, sometimes not. Better ask.
The menu consisted of a mixed salad, which was bigger than i had in other places.
A big plate of soup with your typical piece of corn.
For the main dish, the nice waitress brought me free small samples to try for what i want.
This never happened to me before.
Maybe it was because it was the first time i took photos of my food.
Has anybody experience with this?
Not to forget the refresca, which was too sweet for me.
All in all it was abundant tasty food for just 10 Soles.
I recommend highly.
Pros: Tasty, Abundant, Many choices
Cons: Not entirely vegan

Wonderful atmosphere - Edit
I had breakfast here and was really surprised by the trendy feel of the place. The staff is nice and laid back and the place is clean with comfy chairs and bright colors all over.
Read moreThe set breakfast was disappointing - a hot drink of quinoa and seeds, a small juice and two breads with a filling of your choice. I assume lunch and dinner are a lot better.
All in all it is a lot more inviting than your average Peruvian eatery though their prices are just as low.
Pros: Great atmosphere, Cheap, Clean
Cons: Small breakfast
