Good food

This is a good place for foreigners because there is a display of the food just before you enter the restaurant. The items on the top shelf are the first plate, and the items on the bottom shelf are the second plate. You can just point to what you want, in case you don't speak Spanish. The set meal includes one plate from each of the 2 shelves, plus a fruit drink and a simple dessert.

The price is 20 soles for the set meal Monday through Saturday (effective June 15, 2024). Delivery available for an extra 3 soles. You can eat for much less in the historic Center of Lima but you have to travel up there to get the lower prices. As a comparison, just a couple of blocks away there is a street with about 15 restaurants and they only charge 13 soles, so there is a premium for eating vegetarian in this area.

The customer service here is great.

There are about 25 tables here, and I recommend arriving here at either 1:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. At 1:30 p.m. all the tables are usually taken. A good thing here is that if you eat lunch late (after 230pm for instance), they will still likely have set meals available, where the other veggie places will have already run out. The building is painted green. Very convenient to the tourist area in the Miraflores neighborhood.

Credit cards accepted, and pet friendly.

Great Vegetarian "Menu"

I came here several times over my month in Peru. While many would describe this as "simple" food, I thought it was really good. No "wow" flavors, but they had one of my favorite dishes in Peru: papa rellena (stuffed potato). These gangsters litterally threw a slab of tofu inside of a baked potato and made it taste good. Cold blooded.

Note that the stuffed potato has egg in it, but you can order a vegan version that is delicious.

For the price, I always got food that was enjoyable and healthy.

I was surprised they do have wifi (albiet spotty) so it was nice to do some work with outdoor seating and a relaxed lunch.

Devine local dishes and big portions !

Super flavorful, best portion size we've had in peru, everything we had was yummy and our fav version of local dishes made vegan that we've tried - Lomo saltado, anticuchos, ceviche, and casusa avo. We had enough to make a second lunch the next day and it was just as good left over. We came 20 mins before closing and they still were happy to serve us and let us hand around which was nice!

Ótimo restaurante em Miraflores

Experimentei o Menu do dia pelo valor de 19 soles. Tinham duas opções de entrada e três opções de prato principal.

Estava tudo uma delícia e o refresco que acompanha foi um dos melhores que já provei no Peru - pedi o refresco sem açúcar, porque na maioria dos lugares já vêm com (muito) açúcar.

O atendimento foi excelente, ambiente amplo e bem iluminado. Com certeza voltaria mais vezes.

Obs: esqueci de tirar foto do prato principal hehe

Pros: Opções variadas, Sabor, Refresco sem açúcar

Simple homey food, for a very good price

They have a display of their daily dishes at the entrance. Usually one (out of two) first dish is vegan and one second dish is also vegan. The daily "special" was not vegan today (I don't know about the rest of the days).
The food was very good, and I had the feeling I was eating something my grandmother cooked with love. It just gave me that feeling.
The menu comes with a drink and a simple homemade dessert.
Total price: 18 soles, just under 5 dollars.

Pros: Good value, Tasty food

Cons: Not enough vegan options

Vegan versions of Peruvian dishes

The best vegan ceviche I had while in Lima! While I was there the restaurant was full of locals, so that's a good sign. Everything was delicious.

great choice in Miraflores

We went here twice and we were really happy with our choice. The sandwiches are not the best (pretty simple) but the other warm choices ( about 20 Soles) are quite nice. All vegan options are clearly labeled as „V“.

Pros: good price , clearly labeled vegan meals

Friendly staff, tasty food

They have a menu during the week as well as a few other options. I had the burger one day. It was good but would be nice if it came with fries.

Niice Food, Welcoming staff, Speaks English

Very nice restaurant with at least a few vegan choices. Offers menu for 15 soles ($4.25 as of Feb 10, 2019) that includes soup or salad, main, bread, desserts and drink. I ate here twice and both times food was tasty and filling. Highly recommended. Many dishes can be veganized by removing eggs or cheese. Staff speaks English and can explain what is vegan.

Pros: Vegan, Friendly, Speaks English

Fantastic place. We went every day

Really cheap set menu and very tasty a la carte options too. We tried both over several days. Very healthy, cheap and tasty - can't go wrong. The staff, especially the guy who I think is the owner, are super friendly too. I highly recommend this place. Always very busy with locals too e.g. business people on their lunch break.

It was ok but you can get a better deal

It's not expensive but not cheap either. The food is not bad but it wasn't great either.
I tried two starters and didn't like any of them. Third one was a salad and I didn't try it.
I tried two of the main meals. The noodle thing with veggies I didn't really like but the other one with seitan was nice. Anyway you can get the same or even nicer meal in other veggie restaurant but for a cheaper price. I also ate a vegan dessert ball and it was great, just a bit pricy.

Pros: The food isn't that expensive, Vegan options , Nice service

Simple food for a nice price

Food was filling but simple. One of the good things is that is the only place in Peru that I've seen they serve bread :O which is a big plus :) price was cheap, 13soles per meal.

Pros: Chepa, Bread

Cons: Too simple

Great Atmosphere, Filling, Cheap

Come for the food stay for the atmosphere. There’s a few outdoor seating spots that allow you sunlight that goes great with the fresh juices you can order (recommend getting daily special so you can enjoy a filling meal included juice for 14 soles as of this writing). Super friendly staff.

Cheap comfort food

After a long bus ride, I was so happy to find this place for lunch. It was cold in Lima and I was in need of comfort food. I ordered the menu of the day and got a warm soup with fresh bread rolls, a curry served with brown rice, a rice pudding and a hit drink - all for 14 soles.

Pros: Big portions , Fast service , cheap for Lima

Cons: The place is quite windy

Amazing

Ate there yesturday and it was delicious! S./15.50 for a delicious drink, bread, causa rellena with avocado (starter), 'frejoles con seco' for main (white beans, rice and a seitan steak), and for desert, 'massamora morada'. Took my carnivore mother and sister and they loved it! Also they are very accommodating for vegans, for the causa I just asked for it without mayonnaise. The menu will be different each day so just ask for vegano and they will give it to you - you can also see what the menu will be on their Facebook page. You can also ask to have the drink without sugar.

Pros: Delicious and good price, Accomodating for vegans, Good portions (quite big!)

Cons: N/A
