Vegan menu del dia - Edit
There were two menus of the day which were all vegan (one for 14 pen and one for 25 pen). We chose the cheaper one and I changed the dessert for an alfajore for 1 pen extra. The food was nothing special but for the price it was good! The staff and the location were really nice!

Dependendo do prato pode ser bom - Edit
O lugar é lindo, fica num pátio de um casarão antigo no centro histórico. Bom atendimento, preço justo. Meu marido pediu a parrillada e estava maravilhosa! Eu pedi o menu do dia e a comida decepcionou um pouco. Entrada boa, minestrone saboroso mas estava meio frio e prato principal também estava frio. O arroz estava sem sabor e a abóbora com gosto muito acentuado de cominho. A sobremesa que era uma gelatina de papaya não estava agradável.

Fantastic - Edit
Stunning courtyard setting and great service. Many options on the menu with different combos available. Loved the wontons, raw salad and the 2 bowls we tried (Arab and crunchy). The pasta with huancaina sauce was nothing special but the faux meat burgers weren't bad. Several choices of cake for dessert - the 3 we tried were fantastic. Very full after we left. Highly recommend this place!

Precioso local - Edit
Dentro de una casona, el local es un espacio precioso. Con patio o mesas en interior. Una buena carta y un menú diario a un precio muy bueno. Recomendable.

Very good food for little money - Edit
They offer a variety of vegan food, some can be a bit expensive. However, if you go with the menu del dia, you get a full menu (starter, main and dessert) for just 13 Soles

Could do better! - Edit
Vegan & vegetarian cuisine has improved over recent years. More imagination with dishes would make it out of the ordinary. There are better options in Arequipa.
Read morePros: The pasta dish was a good amount., Juice was fine.
Cons: Ithe pasta was nothing special, nor bad either., Used a torch to read the menu in the courtyard

Gutes vegetarisches Restaurant, aber mittelmäßiges Mittagsmenü - Edit
Wir hatten das Mittagsmenü bei Omphalos um 13 Soles. Der Preis ist sehr günstig, die Qualität aber auch nicht die beste. Das Mittagsmenü bestand aus einem Appetizer, einer Suppe, einer Hauptspeise und einer Nachspeise. Alle Gerichte haben etwas langweilig und ungewürzt geschmeckt. Der Ananassaft war mit Wasser aufgespritzt und kaum zu trinken.
Read moreDie anderen Gerichte auf der Speisekarte sahen bei den anderen Gästen jedoch sehr gut aus. Ich würde lediglich das Mittagsmenü nicht weiterempfehlen.
Pros: Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, Guter Service, Viel Auswahl
Cons: Geschmackloses Mittagsmenü

Prices are very reasonable and the service was fast too.
Wil definitely come back again.

Liked it! - Edit
Food was all pretty good and reasonable prices. The lunch menu seems like a good deal. It’s all vegan (you have to ask for cheese). I liked the wontons and veggie skewers a lot, the entrees for me were okay. The terrace was lovely to sit at.

Good price - Edit
Unlike most restaurants, you have to ask for the food NOT to be vegan😄Such as ask to add cheese etc., so everything is vegan friendly. The chocolate cake was tasty too.

¡Mi favorito en la ciudad! - Edit
Soy cliente de este lugar desde hace muchos años. Su menú diario es muy rico y sus platos a la carta son deliciosos. Recientemente añadieron nuevos ítems en la carta que están mind-blowing. Prueben su nueva parrillada y las nuevas burgers. Los postres también son deliciosos, especialmente la torta Ópera y las tartaletas de chocolate. El staff es muy amable. Varios amigos non-veg se volvieron fans de este lugar después de llevarlos a comer champipapas y probar su torta de maracuyá.

Great options and delicious vegan cakes - Edit
We visited Omphalos 3 times while we were in Arequipa as they had both menu del dias and an extensive menu. We really enjoyed the food, it was tasty, filling and nutritious. The menu del dia was one of the best value that we have found, 12 sols for salad, soup, a main dish and a dessert (although this wasn't too exciting!). They also have a range of cakes and desserts that were all completely vegan when we visited and they were delicious. Would definitely recommend when in Arequipa.

We came here to try their lunch menu but in the end we made it back to this place for their amazing cakes. If you ever come here, it is a must to try their chocolate coffee cake - one of the best ones we ever tried!

I really hate to give veg places a bad review but… - Edit
I brought a non-veg friend here and really wish I had chosen someplace else. The service took forever, which would have been ok if the food was good….
Read moreWe didn’t eat most of what we got. I wouldn’t really have minded bc I like supporting veg places and don’t really mind if the food isn’t great, but this was a big disappointment to bring someone who is not veg.
The wontons were fine, the spaghetti was fine, but the omphalos was super small and the potato thing it came with wasn’t very good, and the vegetables seem like a frozen Bird’s Eye medley of carrots and peas that neither of us ate.
The one thing that was really good was their Red Velvet cake. I’m realizing now that I’m actually not sure if it was vegan or not— I got it thinking it was but I realized later that they serve dairy so maybe it wasn’t.
I really hope this place improves but there are so many better places to get vegan food in this town.
Pros: Cute outdoor courtyard , Maybe a more authentic veg restaurant , Affordable
Cons: Didn’t really like the food for someone not veg, Super slow service
Hei
Thank you very much for your comments, we will see what is wrong in the hot pepper filling. Our cakes are vegan, no dairy at all.
Read moreIn our main preparation we don't use dairy at all, we only add cheese to a dish if it's required. We only use whole milk in juices or coffee if it's required. Thank you for your comments once again.

Amazing food amazing prices - Edit
We went for the menu del dia, four courses for 12 soles! Good healthy food with flavour which has been hard to find in Peru. Everything cooked fresh on site, I had pesto pasta, and the sauce had been made from scratch. The staff were very friendly and the service was very quick! Cakes were also delicious!
