Delicious food

During my stay in Bogota I was so happy to find this lovely vegan spot very close by. My first lunch was there, we shared a menu of the day and another soup, my Colombian friend seemed very happy with the food too. We were so impressed that we came back the next day for dinner, and had a delicious bean burger and one of the tastiest hot dogs I've ever had. I still want to go back and try their empanadas! The portions are big, very good value for money, the meals are freshly prepped and have plenty of flavour.

Maize-overload

Salsa music. Limited space. Quick service. Nice animal rights posters on the walls. You can buy shirts with different vegan texts and motifs.
Kombucha, juice, ice tea and beer on the drink menu.
Both dishes were very corn-based. Never eaten so much corn in one sitting 😛 Hope my metabolism can handle this carbohydrate and fiber explosion. #Veganuary

Veganismo criollo no centro histórico de Bogotá

Vale muito à pena almoçar no Maria Candela. O restaurante oferece leituras veganas da culinária regional, sendo perfeito para casar com uma visita ao Centro Histórico de Bogotá, onde está localizado.

O atendimento é cortês e a comida muito gostosa. Fiquei bem satisfeito com minha experiência.

Pros: Totalmente vegano, Comida saborosa, Ambiente agradável

Hearty homely food

This place was just what we were looking for - hearty and filling local food that would see us through for the rest of the day.

Not all items were available on menu, but the waiter explained.

Food was hot and flavourful, and importantly it was filling. Dessert was such a treat!

Great find

Our first visit at lunchtime we shared the frijolada (a bean stew with sides) and it was excellent. Service is great
We had tried to go to another nearby spot at night that was a disappointment so we knew we could fall back on this place. On that visit we each had a hotdogs (they were out of sausage but the waiter suggested having chorizo) and it was the best stuffed hotdogs... tasty, filling. Also good fritos

Exceptional vegan food with Colombian delicacies as well

Great cosy spot, run by passionate people. The empanadas were terrific and the salsa it is served with is to die for. I had a rice/Arroz dish that was delicious as well.

Pros: Empanada

Aguante la cocina rebelde

Era muy necesario que existiera un lugar como este que reivindique las delicias criollas en su versión libre de explotación animal, el lugar lleno de carteles y activismo es genial. Las empanadas son deli.

Rico, casero y barato

Tienen un menudel día además de la carta. Yo me he decantado por el menú porque me parece lo más tradicional. Qué acierto! Cuando el chico me ha leído los platos (foto) no sabía ni lo que me iba a encontrar, pero me ha encantado. Te quedas muy lleno. Y todo por menos de 5€. La decoración es muy top y el staff muy agradable.

Comida con buen sabor

La comida está muy rica, pedimos un burrito del vegan fest y una mazorcada y esta última me encantó ya que era grande y tenía mucha proteína y estaba deliciosa y a buen precio, venía con jugo de día.

Pros: Muy bien ubicados , Rica sazón

Cons: Algunos platos pueden ser pesados al ser fritos
