Nice restaurant, friendly ladies as personal. Asked them for explaining which things at card are vegan, answered fast. Pretty tall portions as a main dish. Really good prices. Stylish arranged food. Healthy cooking. Dunno if menu cards r avaliable in english as well. Will come back!😉

Crazy on the sauce, also too much cheese or tofu - Edit
As many others have said before, this place is OK. The atmosphere is lovely, I love the style of the place, very Buenos Aires, not the typical hipster vegetarian restaurant.
Read moreThe food, even though the portions were big and the prices were nice, it just didn't have enough taste. My grandpa ordered some pasta with sauce and it was basically just a sauce soup with some pasta - he had to tell them to please reduce the sauce because he just couldn't eat all that.
My boyfriend had the whole pumpkin cannelloni with mushrooms and pomodoro sauce, which - again - too much sauce! the cannelloni were not good either. Don't know what they tried to do there, but it was a mess.
Also, if it isn't cheese, there's tofu. And this time they didn't have tofu, so I was left with very little options. They gave me grilled veggies with a salad - bland, nothing I couldn't have made home.
Anyways, I really hope they do something with the food they're serving there, because the place is so beautiful and cosy, I would hate to see it go down.
Pros: Beautiful place, Friendly service, Big portions
Cons: Bland food, Too heavy on the sauces, A lot of dairy

Vegan Options Dinner Only - Edit
Lovely place but not much English to establish that there were no vegan options for lunch. The menu does not indicate status, nor does the specials board.
Read moreThey had 2 options for dinner.

I went today January 4, 2017 and they had vegan options at lunch. The only difference between the meal is that the vegan choice used cubed tofu, and the vegetarian choice was cubed cheese.

Worst vegan experience in buenos aires - Edit
Vegan food it isnt vegan, has cheese and eggs. This people didn't care anything about veganism and basic work ethics

Wow I'm really surprised with your comment. In my opinion, this is the BEST vegan restaurant in BsAs.
Read moreHow did you find out they put cheese and eggs on vegan meals? I ate there a lot when I was travelling in Argentina, and the staff seemed really aware of veganism.
I'm not saying you're lying, I'm just really surprised and even concerned.

I'm surprised too. The waitress was telling me the choice for the lunch of the day, and she told me which items were vegan before I had a chance to ask. There were no dairy or eggs in what I ordered.. I though the food was good.

Lovely Oasis in Crowded City - Edit
Comfortable, inexpensive vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Buenos Aires. Frequented by busy city people/locals who apparently choose to eat veg in a city known for meat. Portions are ample and oriented both to health and flavor. Nice presentation and friendly service. Nice mix of salads and hot entrees, with specials of the day.
Read morePros: Central location, Healthy but flavorful, Good portions
Cons: Seasoning is mild, Busy

Mmm... Not what I expected... - Edit
We went on our first night in Buenos Aires, on sunday, when many of the places on Happy Cow are closed, and this was the closest to our hotel, so, we went.
Read moreI ordered beet gnocci with pesto (only olive oil, garlic and parsley) and my mum, grilled polenta with vegetables and salad, I was exited for the gnocci, only have had potato ones in the past, when the food arrived, it had soooo much oil, like 50% or more of the pesto was oil, which covered the food and the flavors, you could see a pool of oil on the bottom of the plate... It wasn't bad, but half way through I felt I had a rock in my stomach. Mt mum's food was heavy on the oil too, couldn't really taste the vegetables. All that was agraviated by the fact that I am a HCLF, I was ready to hace oil, but this was overwealming for anyone.
The Hood thing was a vegan beet mayo they gave us with some bread slices, which sadly were a but dry, as am apetizer.
Pros: Ubucation., Juices, Food presentation
Cons: The amounts of oil on the food., Menu doesn't say which options are vegan

GREAT FOOD: breakfast, lunch, dinner. - Edit
This is a great place. Beautiful scenario, friendly staff, not too bright.. I used to have breakfast here everyday.
Read moreTheir almond milk strawberry shake (liquado de frutilla) is a heavenly drink, and they also have a lot of cool sandwiches.
There's nothing expensive here, and it gets even cheaper if you're a foreigner.
If you are a vegetarian in Buenos Aires, you have to visit this place.
Pros: Delicious food, Cosy, Cheap

Not incredible - Edit
At first I was very enthousiastic because of the nice place, the great menu offering a lot of vegan choices (a pity they are not signalled, as the gluten free are) and organic wines, and the very pretty dishes.
Read moreThe atmosphere is cool, we were welcomed very warmly.
Though I have to say my dish was a bit disappointing - not super tasty tofu with somehow bland vegetables and almost unseasoned salad. My three friends were more satisfied with theirs, and I could try some tasty rice / mashroom casserole.
Pros: Nice atmosphere, Nice dishes, big portions, Price
Cons: Not super tasty

Popular, tasty cafe - Edit
After seeing this busy cafe the night before we decided to dine in the following night as the menu was very appealing.
Read moreWe were very happy to get our first dose of hommus in argentina, although a small portion it was very nice.
The tofu burger was very nice although could have done with some relish maybe but can't complain.
I ordered a grande vegan pizza with tofu, tomato and olives. I was feeling very hungry but the grande size surely was grand! Great to share. Very tasty pizza although not a fan of thick bases that are common in argentina but was very happy overall.
Enjoyed a nice bottle of wine.staff were helpful explaining the menu in english. Prices were reasonable.
Pros: vegan options, atmosphere
Cons: relish or sauces recommended for burgers and empan

Tranquil Healthy Oasis - Edit
First place we visited in the city, and how lucky we were. The service was friendly, the atmosphere peaceful, the food good, the prices fair. We. Had the lunch menu combo, four healthy homemade original main choices, fresh juices, and great coffee included. Deserts delicious too. We enjoyed our lunch and will return.

Excellent place - Edit
This is restaurant is located just near Av. Corrientes, nearby those theaters passing the Obelisco.
Read moreThe food is very good. I had a pair of quesadillas, served with an olive paté and a portion of salad - besides the couvert, which is basically bread with some vegan butter. The dish was just 50 pesos, which is cheap considering the crappy junk food served in the surroundings.
There is a variety of beers and organic wines. as well as natural juices, such as lemonade with ginger.
I would definitely come back again. A friend had a huge plate of pasta he couldn't eat it up because it was too much!! Maybe I'll try that again next time.
Pros: excellent food, good value, central location

high-quality, fresh food - Edit
Sattva is located in the heart of the city and has very good vegetarian and vegan fare, with fresh, high-quality ingredients. At lunch they only had four options from which to choose, but I was delighted with my rice bowl (to which they let me add tofu for protein). The food was a bit bland, but very good on the whole.

Various vegan options, all organic and made at the moment (nothing frozen or pre made). It has wonderful juices and organic wines. Not that expensive for a great dinner.

OK - Edit
I used to love this place but the last few times I went there the food was nothing at all exciting, they also got my order wrong (I said no soy and what they put the most on my plate were soy sprouts), it was cold and the bathroom was dirty. There aren't that many veg options in BA unfortunately so if you're in downtown and hungry it's a stop. Don't expect anything amazing. They have a pizza place on the other side of the avenue which is zero cozy but if you just want to bite something then it might be a better idea to get a pizza (vegan options avail) or empanada. I've had it with Sattva, not going back.

Annoying staff - Edit
I only visited here for a drink (plus a bite of my friend's rather dry vegan apple cake) so I can't comment on the food. But I found the waitress who served us to be quite rude; I got the feeling she was trying to get rid of us, kept coming back for the bill when the cafe wasn't even closing. It was pretty annoying and I'm not sure if I'd go back to sample the food (especially after reading the other reviews posted here!)

Healthy and a Nice Change - Edit
Very nice little cafe serving large healthy meals for a very reasonable price. I had a beautiful taco filled with a combination of pulses,tomato and rice, accompanied by a salad and guacamole. For desert I had an apple pie made with a whole rice base instead of pastry. Juices are freshly made as well. Highly recommended for something healthy and unique.

has potential - Edit
Sattva has potential to be a cool hangout: its designed like a cafe/ bar, and they have some good microbrew beers in there, which is a great change from quilmes.
Read moreUnfortunately the food is pretty bad. I went there twice, and I don't think I would try a third time. The first time I had their milanesa de soja sandwhich. The milanesa was as dry as the atacama. I dont't know why they insist on baking the milanesa de soja in all the veg places in argentina.. it doesnt work guys! Either fry it, or use tofu or something else. There was no sauce, just a smothering of half-cooked onions.
The second time, we had lunch specials. My girlfriend ate about 1/4 of hers. I tried to help her out, but it wasnt easy.
Pros: stylish design, in microcentro
Cons: poor food, average service

Good food, good price, good service - Edit
Sattva was the best non-buffet vege restaurant I went to in Buenos Aires. It had more of a cafe than restaurant feel to it. The menu had lots of options. I found the food to be a little bland at first, but then asked for some hot sauce. They brought one that was both spicy and tasty and I'm pretty sure homemade, so that improved the meal a lot. I would definitely go back and would recommend trying this place.

Good Vegan Options - Edit
Traveling around Argentina as a vegan you eat alot of "pizza sin queso." However, Sattva has thoughtful vegan pizza's that take the cake (and vegan cheese!). Their salads are also delightful. Really good veggie food that is not dairy & egg centric, in a country where that tends to be the case when you see "vegetarian"

Good food and value - Edit
Bruschettas, soups, omelettes, burgers, Mexican dishes, pastas and sauces (pick one each from lists), pizzas, juices, teas, coffees, beer and wine. There's a good trio deal where you can choose a grain, cooked or raw vegetables, and beans, seitan or tofu for 20 pesos (US$5.55). Can add miso soup for 6 pesos (US$1.66). I chose brown rice, slivered sautéed vegetables (cabbage, carrots, zucchini, red cabbage) and beans (azuki that day). As a free starter they brought bread and a carrot-based spread. My total was a very inexpensive 51 pesos (US$14.15) for a beer, lunch plate, bancha tea and burger plate to take away.
Read moreServer could have been more smiling.
Open for lunch 12-4 pm and dinner from 8 pm. In between, they continue serving tea and coffee. Very busy 1-2 pm.
Pros: great value, lots of choices
Cons: server and host didn't smile
