100% vegan with good food. - Edit
Of the four 100% vegan restaurants in this city, Espiritu Libre offers a wonderful menu del dia for lunch. The food is prepared with care and is both nutritious and delicious. The service is excellent. When in Medellin I like to enjoy lunch here a couple times a week.

Delicious Food for the Moderately Hungry - Edit
It has really cute decor, the food was great, and the servers were very friendly😄It’s a very cute semi-corner little restaurant and feels cozy. I love the vibes.
Read moreOnly con is that the serving size isn’t that big so if you came absolutely starving and haven’t eaten all morning, you will likely still be hungry after. Otherwise it’s perfect and I will definitely be returning!

warm paradise of homely, soulful food - Edit
absolutely beautiful little restaurant and a warm welcomed relief from the neon-eatery lined streets and meaty street vendors. super tasty and well thought out meals with unusual little flavour highlights. The staff are just delightful-- super soft natured. Hot cacao brought us back to home. Hope to get a chance to revisit

delicious and friendly - Edit
We arrived at 7:55 pm without knowing they were closing at 8pm. Such nice owner/cooker ! We had the dinner day meal which was : soup with potatoes/carrot, sauted rice brocoli avocado and galette. And killer chocolate dessert. It was delicious and consistent. I love the vegan community, you always feel welcomed. Best food & friendly atmosphere. Many thanks

Solid neighborhood joint - Edit
I'm not sure what happened with Mr. Bland, maybe it was an off night. We live right around the corner so have been here many times and always come away happy. Although the menu of the day at Saludpan is more consistently incredibly awesome, the menu at EL is usually great and when it sounds a little lacking, they have great wok dishes to fall back on. The outdoor seating is cute and cozy and a little more separate from the sidewalk, so you don't get as many beggars as other places. They also have some good vegan household supplies there that I haven't seen anywhere else and excellent granola bars. I wouldn't call the place "dirty hippy" either, just because the owner has dreadlocks. It's just a cute restaurant with super friendly owners & staff. Maybe something a little more stylistically antiseptic like McDonalds would be more to that commenters liking.

Increíble sazón - Edit
el lugar es muy "vegano", plantas afuera, terraza de madera. Pero nada de eso importa cuando la comida es rica y con mucho sabor. Incluso fria sabría rica. Muy buen lugar.
Read morePros: sabor increíble, buena sazón, mucha creatividad
Cons: el lugar tal vez sea muy chico como para mucha gen

De mis favoritos - Edit
La comida es una de las mejores que he probado, no he ido al sitio como tal, pero he almorzado varias veces con sus platos durante los mercados verdes del Jardín Botánico, quienes atienden son sumamente amables, no se puede pedir un mejor servicio.

Bland - Edit
The soup was bland and had a terrible texture, I had to waste it. Service was slow and forgetful. I ended up leaving hungry and went the awesome Vegan Italian restaurant nearby! Personally I am not keen on this place, but if you like the sort of dirty hippie vibe, then you might live it here :) Btw, they do have a pretty good selection of stuff in their minimarket...worth picking up a few staples.

Cons: Taste, Clumsy (but nice) service

Pretty good place for food & more - Edit
I went here during the 7th Anniversary week & they had special pricing going on. The normal price for the meal of the day was 10.500 pesos when I went in mid-2015. They had outside seating with 3 tables, and then 5 more inside that I could see. The meal came with a choice of 2 different juices, then soup and the main plate with 5 different items and a fruit dessert. I went back a few days later and got 2 lunches to go. The first time I went the food choices were better, but I look forward to going again to try out more meals. The food was pretty good and I would go again. Someone there told me they kind of serve as a community center for vegetarians, and they have all sorts of presentations and get-togethers. I didn't have enough time to look into that, but I'll be back in 2016 to find out more!
