Best in Pasto

They have changed location since I was here 2 years, it has only gotten better. Efficiently run business, many rooms to choose from for seating, food is excellent. The full almuerzo is 12,000 COP, can't ask for a better deal.

Pros: Cuisine, Efficiency, Price

Great meal today

I went here three times for lunch in July 2024. The meal of the day currently costs 12,000 pesos (you can also choose to have the smaller meal of the day for a little bit less). Today's meal had a glass of juice, a bowl of soup, and the main plate with four different items (see photo). I thought everything was very very good, flavorful and nutritious. You can order dessert for an additional 3,000 pesos but I don't really recommend it (the waiter brought me the wrong dessert twice in a row and I finally gave up). Good news: they are open 7 days a week for lunch with a meal of the day, and are usually open on holidays as well.

Disappointed

Good food but cold nothing exceptional.
The prices annouced when we arrived suddenly changed when we had to pay. We told us the prices changed since the new year but have not been updated. Had to insist to get the prices annouced when we arrived.
I also bought «vegan soya cheese» around 3$ which happened to be tofu.

Pros: Affordable food

Cons: price change during paiment, tofu sold as vegan cheese, cold food

Lovely place

... the owner is very lovely. The set menu came quickly and was good.
There is also a little shop included that sells organic products.

Comida deliciosa y saludable

El Restaurant muy simple pero con diferentes opciones en el menú del día. Estuvimos como a las 4 p.m así que tuvimos pocas opciones. Pero la opción que nos tocó estuvo deliciosa. Nosotros somos de bastante comer y la cantidad fue exacta. Ni mucho, ni poco. Pero nos dejo muy satisfecho. La atención del servicio fue amable y la comida como lo dije riquísima. Nos dijeron que en Mocoa había otro Restaurant , al día siguiente fuimos ahí pero lamentablemente estaba cerrado.

Puedo recomendar este restaurante si están en búsqueda de algo saludable y rico.

Pros: Viene entrada (sopa) , segundo + jugo. , Postre con costo adicional.

Cons: No se me ocurre nada

Good place for dinner

We went for dinner to Gira El Sol. Unfortunatetly most of the items listed on the menu were not available. We got the menu del dia instead (was vegan), which was tasty. Would eat here again.

Pros: Tasty and healthy, Shop with hard-to-get products, like tofu, Friendl owners

Cons: None of the listed menus available

Terrific

The Menu del Día is a steal—you are spoiled for choice with a build-your-own meal from a healthy selection, the price is right (we paid just 8,000 each), and they use high-end ingredients (yellow potatoes, quinoa, guacamole, feijoa juice). The space is very cute and cozy, yet it’s spacious and you can choose your favorite nook to sit in. Only odd thing is despite being assured all the menu items were vegan (ie Cream of Spinach soup), the dessert “fresas“ (strawberries) came out with a big slice of cow cheese in it, so specify “vegan” when ordering.

Pros: Big menu choice, huge soup, low price, Beautiful new space (they recently moved), Lovely staff & food

They do dinner - I liked

I came here for dinner after I went to another veg restaurant that turned out to not be serving dinner so they recommended this one. I wouldn't have gone otherwise as no hours listed. I thought the food was quite good. A very wholesome soup (peas and veg) to begin and then a main of rice, yuca, salad,and some aubergine thing. I liked it. 6,000 pesos for that and according to the server it was all vegan. I had a desert which I didn't realise was extra and it was some delicious sweet thing with what seemed like cheese on top?!?! This was an extra 1,500 - I'd rather have not had it.

Pros: Inexpensive, Soup and main were vegan

Cons: I didn't understand much

Lugar agradable

Lugar muy agradable para comer. Aparte del restaurante tienen tienda de comida y embutidos vegetarianos. El almuerzo cuesta 6500pesos y consta de sopa, bandeja y bebida. Nos ha parecido un poco unsipida la comida, creemos que cocinan sin sal. Hoy el almuerzo entero era vegano.

Pros: Barato, local agradable, buen trato

Cons: poco sabor

A feast!!

Was welcomed into this lovely establishment with a warm energetic hand shake. We were there for dinner and it was a set menu, starting with quinoa(?) soup, filled with vege. Then onto the main course of avocado/tomato salad, brown rice, vege stew, with a slice of seitan, all cooked beautifully. Also included a fresh juice. Cost about $8000 peso i think.
Also on sale was packaged vegetarian sausages/meat balls/bacon etc, all made there.
Was so pleased with our meal, just wish we'd found it sooner.
NOTE: The resturant is not where google points to on the map, and when we tried to find it during the day we were disappointed as there are several sections of Calle 20A spread across the city. However, the address is correct, and later the taxi driver seemed to find it ok. It's between Carrera 27A and 28, a block or two north of the central police station (NE of Plaza De Narino).
I asked him for opening hours and he said he opens at 12 for lunch and 4pm for dinner until 8 or 9pm. I think he recommended to me to call before coming, i guess to ensure he was open, but at 8pm there was a couple of other groups there.

Pros: Great tasting homely food, great value, friendliest host ever!
