Very friendly staff and good food. Unfortunately they said that the burger bun is not vegan 😔 So I had the vegan Ceviche which was really good!

Great burger - Edit
Really nice café at the main place in Barranco. We tried one of the burgers and a sandwich and the food had a great taste and was filling.

Cute restaurant and great food - Edit
After traveling in Bolivia and Peru for a month and a half I’ve definitely been missing some of my easy and cosy veggie spots in Barcelona so when we found this place I was so happy. It’s a very cute place in the Barranco area of Lima and the food we tasted was so good. My partner and I shared a hearty salad that was so fresh and tasty, afterwards he got som egg dish and I had their tofu revueltos with bread and salad and it was wonderful. They have a variety of toasts and other simpler dishes as well as kambucha, infusiones, hot chocolate and cakes.

Wawooo…! - Edit
Very rarely I would put 5 to a vegetarian restaurant, but they are really incredible, 70% is vegan, and the quality of everything is really special, feels like a gastronomic restaurant in the presentation and tastes 😻

Ceviche feliz. - Edit
Fue mi primer comida cuando llegue a Lima y fue una grata experiencia. El ceviche delicioso, los tacos al pastor también. Para cerrar con broche de oro, brownie y té de cocoa.

Cute Vegan Place - Edit
This is a nice vegan place in Barranco. We didn’t try many things on the menu, but we did have a delicious green smoothie, vegan ceviche with avocado and some guacamole with yuca. All was good and I recommend this place to other people looking for plant based options!

Good vegan food in a GREAT VARIETY! - Edit
I went there and specially liked the portobello saltado, the ceviche and the chocolate cake. Its vegan alternatives to mayonnaise and burgers also taste really similar to the real thing. Also liked that it has ramps making it accessible for wheelchair users.

Great food in Barranco! - Edit
Cute restaurant with warm and rustic design and delicious food and friendly service. Had the tacu tacu, lomo saltado, and tacos al pastor. They have burgers too and didn’t try them and they looked great but went with the local food vegan style instead.

Great traditional food - Edit
We both tried vegan mains - the vegan version of traditional Peruvian chicken soup, and the tacu tacu, and they were both incredible. Good service as well and good drink selections.

Definitely will return - Edit
I went here with my non vegan parents and we all loved it. The food is amazing. The tacu tacu was delicious. My dad said it was one of the best things he has ever eaten and he is usually a big meat eater. We have been back several times and plan to keep returning. The only negative is the service is kind of slow but it is definitely worth the wait.

Typical peruvian food made vegan - Edit
They have a very nice variety of typical peruvian food (like Ceviche, Tacu Tacu or Lomo Saltado) - but veganized. The food was delicous and fresh. Also the banana crepes for dessert were really good. The place is very relaxed and cozy and the staff was nice and attentive.

Fantastic - Edit
I’m glad I made the detour! I was headed to another recommended restaurant and passed by this place. I read other reviews as I was eating. I thought the quantity of food was great, and while it took some time to get my food, service wasn’t slower in comparison to other Peruvian restaurants I’ve visited. Good things come to those who wait! I got the quinoa patty (no bun so you can’t really call it a burger, but I was happy with no bun) with salad, which had a whole avocado, and fries. I’d come back again... maybe for dinner ;)

Best vegan food I’ve eaten!! - Edit
Wonderful little restaurant, specialising in Creole Vegan food. I had the Tacu Tacu stew which, wasn’t a stew per say (bad translation perhaps) but definitely the best vegan meal I’ve eaten. If you come to Lima it’s a must!! Good atmosphere, good service. Would give it a 7 out of 5 if I could!
