Surprisingly disappointing - Edit
This was open early when other options weren’t, but I’d not visit again. A few areas of note: the hummus tasted bad here, the server didn’t understand veganism and started walking away saying “yeah no gluten got it” before I caught him, and coffee was not great.
Read moreI’d give 2 stars, but it loses another for being sneakily expensive. Definitely not worth the price imo.

Quite disappointing actually - Edit
I should have come here and read the reviews first because this place was extremely disappointing. I ordered several things and only took a bite of sip
Read moreOf all of them then left it all in the car while I went to do the hanging bridges.
The smoothie bowl- disappointing
The mushroom toast- could have been good but it was so salty that I couldn’t stand to eat it.
Smoothie- also not enjoyable.
Maybe I ordered the wrong thing so if it’s open and one of your only few options- still don’t try it 🤣
Pros: Lots of options , Affordable , Conveniently located
Cons: Subpar options

Very expensive - Edit
We went there for dinner. No aircon available so it was quite hot.
Read moreI ordered a bowl with rice, avocado, beans and veggies (chilfrio or sth like that) and thought it would be like a buddha bowl but instead it was like a stew... the nachos which were used as decoration were completely limp. Taste was good but not what I expected.
The prices are high to begin with and then they add VAT of 13% and the service fee of 10% so the final amount will be quite high for what you eventually get. Maybe it's better to eat breakfast here as those dishes were cheaper.
Cons: Quite expensive (dinner options), No aircon

Un deleite fortuno - Edit
Caminar por el pueblo de Fortuna de sintió ameno, cálido y muy acogedor. El área puede sentirse un poco turística, dependiendo de donde se esté, y esto de refleja en la plaza central, las áreas de naturaleza donde 'aventuras' abundan, y claro, en lugares de comida.
Read moreYo sentí que are espacio fue amplio, con buen servicio, y muy rica comida. Poder encontrar panquecas y desayunos creativos fue muy lindo al estar por aquí.
Se les recomienda con mucho cariño.
Pros: El patio , Los jugos , La comida

Not worth the hype in my opinion - Edit
I had high hopes for this restaurant due to the many great reviews. However I found the coffee (strawberry flavour) extremely bland and watered down, and the mushroom ceviche was just ok.

Great food with huge menu! - Edit
This is a brilliant place with such a huge menu. If you’re starting to get a little bored of options places with just one or two items for you, go to this place! They have tons of stuff and it’s all packed full of flavour. The falafel burrito and quesadillas were brilliant and they have an extensive drink and smoothie selection as well. The staff are also super informed and helpful when it comes to answering questions.

Most amazing vegan food in Costa Rica - Edit
Although not fully vegan the restaurant has fully plant based sections on the menu that are the dominant aspect of the fare. The food was amazing and our party had 2 appetizers, 4 entrees, 2 desserts and 3 different smoothies. It was fantastic. Waitress was knowledgeable and amazing! Highly recommend if you are in La Fortuna.
Read morePros: Amazing food at all courses! , Wonderful and pleasant service , Great atmosphere
Cons: Obviously as a vegan wish they didn’t have meat

But a tad on the pricey side. I loved the vibe and all the food we got, but I didn’t feel it was worth the amount we spent. Still, would highly recommend

Gute Auswahl an veganen Gerichten zu leider hohen Preisen. - Edit
Es gibt eine große Auswahl an veganen Gerichten, leider zu hohen Preisen. Der Tuna Burrito hatte nichts mit Tuna zu tun, da lieber andere Gerichte, die keine tierischen Produkte imitieren, ins Menü nehmen. Geschmacklich OK, aber nicht besonders.

Needs Work - Edit
Came for lunch. Waitress friendly. Ordered vegan tuna wrap and tuna with grilled vegetables. Food took 35 minutes to come out and the grilled veggies were cold and tuna rubbery. The vegan tuna wrap was a kitchen sink of ingredients that didn’t go together with a very strongly flavored sauce. Only one waitress and cooks looked like they were busy taking catering food to their cars. Place has potential it just needs some improvement.

Did not experience the same thing, friendly waitress and food was out pretty quickly. Note this is the beginning of the rain season so less guests everywhere

Tofu brochetas are amazing! - Edit
Tofu brocheta was great, the quesadilla with 3 salsas was also good. They brought us a tuna ceviche by mistake but corrected it and didn't charge us for it. The mushroom ceviche was not that great.
Read morePros: Tofu brocheta , Waiter corrected mistake very well , Home made Kambucha
Cons: A bit expensive, A bit slow service

Überbewertet - Edit
Ich hatte das Pilz-Cheviche die Quesadillas. Besonders das Cheviche war hübsch angerichtet. Hier isst das Auge mit - das muss man allerdings auch teuer bezahlen. Das Essen war ok, für meinen Geschmack etwas überwürzt. Vielleicht habe ich es deshalb nicht vertragen. Die Quesadillas konnte ich nicht aufessen, weil mein Magen rebelliert hat.

Yummy vegan desserts - Edit
A group of about 10 of us stopped in here for vegan desserts. The service was super friendly and the sweets were yummy. They had several raw vegan options too, if that's your thing.

Great food, nice service, but expensive - Edit
Whoever is tired of burritos, rice and tacos only can find a great selection at this place. It was very hard to choose with so many options. Also, the drinks were something extraordinary. The food was nice, but for one of us, it was mainly salad and costed 8.400 colones, which is super pricy for what we got. Overall, this place is definitely on the higher price scale. The staff was very friendly.

Healthy vegan options - Edit
We were so happy to find a restaurant in La Fortuna with a large vegan menu that used a lot of fresh, organic veggies. We had the nachos, quesadilla, and a bowl (can’t remember the name). The food was all very tasty and healthy. The portions were also very large. Fair warning, the prices are very high - felt like I was back in New York. It also took a while for us to get our food but things move slower in Costa Rica. Just don’t go if you’re ravenously hungry 😬 nice to have more vegan options in the area, just wish they would ditch the animals products and become 100% vegan!

OK food, cool store but expensive - Edit
Nicely designed little restaurant with vegan and vegetarian options. Also serves meat and sea food etc
Read moreThey have organic/vegan products in the store that belongs to the restaurant and a little area with clothes made from natural materials / local brands.
We payed 90 USD for water, a smoothie, 2 small starters and two main dishes.
The quality was OK, but even for Costa Rica we found it heavily over priced.
I did have an upset stomach after.
Will not go again.

Pros: Design , Vegan part of the menu, Various interesting products in the store
Cons: Price, Tastiness of the food, Not 100% vegan but claims to be ethical ...
