Good food but too expensive for the food and service

Food was ok but compared to other Vegan restaurants in the area was expensive and the setting is not the greatest, nor was the attention.

Pros: The food was okay , It has food opening hours

Cons: The food was too expensive for what it was. , The attention was okay but again not great

All-around great experience

Almost every option in the menu is vegan. I had multiple dishes and extras, all delicious! Their vegan meat is to die for and the fried bananas made me less homesick 💖

Great Peruvian food!

Had an amazing Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian dish, made with seitan, tomatoes, onions and peppers! Well seasoned. I loved

Good option when visiting AC but overall a bit disappointing. I give 3,5 stars 🌟

What has bothered me
- small portions
- expensive (normal for AC)
- red sauce was not my fav but I guess that's individual

What was good
- food is nicely presented
- overall tasty

Lomo Saltado (Traditional) - 45,9 PEN

Coftas de Garbanzo - 45,9 PEN

Best veggie for in Aguas Calientes

Big menu with lots of cuisines covered. We had the Indian eggplant curry, which didn't taste Indian at all but was still fantastic. The lomo saltado, besides being extremely salty, was excellent. The kofta in tomato sauce was nice but quite small. The asado had a great chilli sauce and big chunks of fake meat but it could have done with some vegetables. Service was good. Surcharge to pay with credit card.

Obligatorio en Aguas Calientes

Extensa carta, prácticamente vegana en su totalidad. Platos peruanos e internacionales. Me dejé recomendar por el camarero y comí lomo saltado. Plato contundente y sabroso. 100% recomendable.

Tremendous vegan restaurant in Aguas Calientes

Absolutely fantastic restaurant in Aguas Calientes and quite possibly our favorite vegan restaurant we dined at during our entire three weeks in Peru (traveling from Lima to Machu Picchu via Arequipa and Lake Titikaka route).

 Anybody who is vegan and heading up to Machu Picchu must make this restaurant a priority. You won't be disappointed! 

Pros: Delicious, Well seasoned, Fresh and creative menu

Comida deliciosa

Este es el único lugar vegano & vegetariano de toda la ciudad. Casi todo el menú es vegano, y lo que tiene lácteos está bien aclarado en el menú.
Los platos son abundantes y deliciosos! La atención muy amable también.
Cobran recargo para abonar con tarjeta pero me parece que es algo común en esa ciudad.

Cons: Cobran recargo con tarjeta.

Vegan fusion cuisine in Aguascalientes

Fully vegan with vegetarian options located in Aguascalientes, Peru

Food **
We got the Causa Rellena and Maha Brinjal Subji. The maha dish was pretty good, but the Causa was not good and it was a cold dish which we asked the server if it was a hot dish and he said it was - so this was disappointing. We also got a mango lassi with almond/coconut milk (they did a substitution for yogurt) and this had no sweetness/ didn’t taste good. We also got an apple kombucha which was good.

Atmosphere **
Nothing special or fancy. Not even sure if there is a bathroom on site.

Service **
Service was quick but we were upset that when we asked about the dish being a hot dish, and even said we meant heat not meaning spicy, he said yes and it wasn’t. Also the waiter asked for a tip which we didn’t usually encounter in Cusco so we felt awkward.

Price $$$
In our opinion food was overpriced, plus 5% credit card fee.

Mouthwatering!

Vegan Anticuchos was one of the best fake meEt I have ever had. It was a little salty, but just needed to pass the knife over the steaks to take some salt off. Ask for less salt if you are not used to.
It looks expensive, but you don't need dessert and it is amazing!, also the corn and potatoes.
Staff was very nice and correct, both the waitress and chef.
I recommend you to sit by the window to enjoy the views of the mountains and outdoors.

Pros: Friendly staff, Gorgeous views

Delicious!

We tried 2 different dishes. One „lomo saltado“ with a really nice seitan that was different to other places and a rice dish with veggies, both meals super tasty. The staff was super friendly, anytime again!

Delicious

Govinda offers delicious options. It was the only place with real vegan options we found in Machupicchu Pueblo. We ordered many different dishes to try and we liked them all. If you don't like spicy food, make sure to let them know.

Pros: Number of options, Service, Size of dishes

Cons: Charge 5% when pay in credit card

Delicious food

I got papas a la huancaina (a local Andean dish) and the paella. Love getting local, traditional foods that you typically don’t eat as a vegan.

Best Vegan Food in Peru

Over the course of three days, we ate here four different times and were never disappointed with what we ordered. Everything was so flavorful and delicious!! We especially loved the koftas of chickpeas and the paella Spanish vegan! It’s also really helpful that everything that is non-vegan is clearly marked on the menu.

Pros: Flavorful, delicious!!, Many vegan options, Friendly staff

Cons: Pricey (but fair price for Aguas Calientes), Portion sizes are on the smaller side

Very Tasty!

A very tasty majority-vegan menu restaurant in this tourist town. The menu is very clearly marked as to what is vegan (the majority of the menu) and what is vegetarian (dairy only). The menu is a mix of Peruvian classics and Indian dishes. We enjoyed it so much that we went back a second time.

Pros: Delicious food, Nice staff

Home cooked meals

This little place was our go to in Aguas Calientes. It was away from the tourist trap places, and although vegetarian, most of the menu was vegan with only a few items containing dairy which were clearly marked.

The restaurant is family run and they were just so welcoming and humble and wanting to please through their food.

We went 3 times. The food was great each time, and on the last time they served us a custom dish that we saw some of the family were eating for lunch. All of the food we tried was tasty, and we felt at home there.
