Bogotá is the bustling and lively capital city of Colombia, oozing with urban charm but also framed by the beautiful and natural Andean peaks. It has a wide range of vegetarian restaurants – here are the best.

Caballete and Berenjena

The story of this popular restaurant follows it turning from vegetarian to vegan only. Originally founded in 2011, and delivery-only at that point, the growing demand lead them to open a fully fledged all-natural restaurant. It has fast food as well as slow-cooked mains for a takeout or sit-in experience. A product of the demand of the people, Cabellete and Berenjena continue to ensure customer satisfaction is right at the top of their priority list. This is as well as the very reason they are here today – their fresh and healthy food. Their colorful and animated menu is complete with the typical Colombian soups and salads. Even a couple of Asian and Italian options have been thrown in the mix.

Quinua y amaranto

A restaurant as sweet as honey, run by passionate chefs in an open-front kitchen, Quinua y Amaranto is 100 percent vegetarian during the week. It serves delicious and satisfying set lunches, including traditional empanadas which are a must-try, and of course, the much needed coffee. With a comfortable and homely atmosphere, Quinua y Amaranto sometimes offer sweet home-baked goods. This is a place where quality is simply never sacrificed. While there may not be an extensive range of dishes, there’s an intriguing range of fresh and natural ingredients. Dine on pies, biscuits, cereals, handmade cheeses, and of course vegetables, in the freshest and most organic way possible.

Sabor vegano

Originating as a Facebook community specializing in vegan lunches, their popularity grew, and a delivery service was initiated. However, their food is so good that delivery just wasn’t enough and there was demand and opportunity for a restaurant. That’s how Sabor Vegano was born. Their motto, “eating vegan is living healthily,” is the basis for this popular restaurant. They invite people to try all the many and diverse flavors of veganism. A perfect place to grab a healthy and delicious breakfast, lunch, drink, or even a little baked treat, Sabor Vegano invites everyone to sample their food.
