The challenge of preserving the nutrients of each ingredient throughout the cooking process is what incited the founders of Yerbabuena to create this unique space where it’s easy to take care of your body and the environment at the same time. The restaurant’s aim is to offer high quality vegan gastronomy to please a range of different palates. Yerbuena offers a vegan paella made with vegetables, mushrooms, and brown rice, and is textured with soy.
