Sarkis

April 28, 2016$$, Dinner, Lunch, Serves fish/meat & veggie, Vegetarian, Villa CrespoBart

Sarkis is a must-do when you’re in Buenos Aires. This Armenian restaurant is full every night it’s open and the que is usually between half an hour and an hour. Is it cold or rainy outside? Don’t worry, they have outside heating and you can wait under a plastic roof so you’ll be dry when you enter. Be aware, Sarkis is a factory.

We waited about 45 minutes before we could enter the restaurant. They try to get as many guests as possible and won’t let you look at the menu for to long. Visiting Sarkis means that you know what you’re gonna eat and you’re gonna eat it fast. The food offered is Armenian (of course) and the taste is very good and the dishes are of a good size.

Koh Lanta

February 20, 2016$$$, Dinner, Palermo, Serves fish/meat & veggie, Vegan, VegetarianBart

Boy oh boy we miss Asian food. Coming from the Netherlands we’re very used to have many different Asian cuisines to choose from on every street corner. In Buenos Aires, that’s different.

But thank god there is Koh Lanta! Quite a fancy place, a big difference with most vegetarian restaurants. Well to be honest, this is not a vegetarian restaurant. They serve all other sorts of dishes but you can get them as vegetarian or vegan dishes. For that they usually add tofu or more vegetables. It’s basically the same as in Asian restaurants all over the world, more veggie-friendly!

The taste of the food, the beauty of the dishes and the staff is all of a very good level and for sure we would love to eat here again!

Espacio Despierta

February 1, 2016$$, Chacarita, Dinner, Lunch, Vegan, VegetarianDanielle

The kitchen of this multi-purpose cultural centre and no-nonsense place, offers 100% Vegetarian food for lunch & dinner: Salads, Koftas, Paninis, Hamburgers with lentils or aduki beans- burritos with different fillings and pizza’s, of which two vegan options.

We ate the Kofta’s and a Burrito with mushrooms which were both good (although the kofta’s were a bit cold). I was, however a great fan of the huge vegan starting & sharing platter with lots of olives, pickles, toasted breadslices and two tasty dips of carrot and spinach.

The service is very friendly and there is a super relaxed atmosphere. In summer the seats outside are busy with people eating and enjoying grand sized cocktails. We had a wonderful evening, leaving the place only at 3.30 am….

Los Sabios

January 27, 2016$, Almagro, Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Vegan, VegetarianBart

I used to ride a horse called ‘Sabio’ a lot and love that animal. So this must be a great place to eat! Los Sabios serves a buffet with vegetarian and vegan options. It’s quite cheap but the taste not bad at all! The buffet is a combination of Asian and Italian food (which actually fits very well) and it has a huge salad and desert bar.

Most people come here for take-away but you can as well take a seat and have dinner here. Don’t expect a romantic place but if you’re not in for cooking, get a bite here

Cocina Shiva Mangalam

January 22, 2016$$, Almagro, Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Vegan, VegetarianBart

We didn’t know about this place until the waitress of another place told us to go here (there restaurant was closed). It wasn’t busy at all that night, just a few people outside, no-one inside. We were with three in total and sitting outside was only possible with two persons due the small sidewalk so we had to go in. But with the beautiful wall paintings it is great to be inside the restaurant!

Unfortunately not all the dishes on the menu were served this night so we had to let the sushi go. But we got to order a big salad, hamburger and portobello’s. All very good although the portobello’s were a bit small. To accompany the dishes we ordered three different homemade juices, all spectaculair!

We finished the night with a huge piece of lemon pie. We missed the lemon taste a bit but still, lovely desert. Maybe try the tiramisu or chocolate cake the next time, because they looked so good!

Almacén Purista

January 22, 2016$$, Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Vegan, Vegetarian, Villa CrespoBart

On accident we passed by this very nice restaurant in barrio Villa Crespo and decided to have dinner here. Surprised by the variety of dishes they serve, from pizza and pasta to stew and more traditional Argentine dishes, we choose for two plates to share. It was a pizza (integral) and some huge ravioli’s with avocado. Delicious!

It happens often that vegetarian restaurants have this cozy feeling, where the owner walks around, laughing with everyone and it’s all a bit…well, you know, cozy; not so professional. It’s something I do actually like about vegetarian restaurants. But in Almacén Purista everything feels more like a ‘normal’ restaurant. The service is of a very good standard and our waitress seems to know a lot about the food and the wine. She serves us well and the timing is right.

So, it feels more like a ‘normal’ restaurant, sitting on the spacious terrace (a lot of space for the tables inside as well!), enjoying a good glass of wine and a delicious dish. But even though the variety of dishes is big, they are not serving anything really special. No fusion meals or influences from strange parts of the world. But still, if you want to go for the good ‘ol Italian dish, go to Almacén Purista!

Vita

January 19, 2016$$, Breakfast, Centro, Dinner, Lunch, Organic, Palermo, Vegan, VegetarianDanielle

Vita is a vegan paradise! This modern looking place offers ONLY vegan options and makes use of 100% vegan and also raw and organic wholemeal ingredients in their products. Its a place for breakfast, lunch and ‘merienda’ – a 5 pm snack.

Vita offers a wide range of sweet cakes and tarts – containing an organic wholemeal base, organic cane sugar, coconut oil instead of butter and dulce de leche made of soja. Yet if you do not have a sweet tooth you can feast on the hearty options as pizzas, salads and pastas. For drinks they offer organic café, fresh juices, smoothies (with non-dairy milk), juice mixes (with optional wheatgrass), infused waters, and more. We advise you to stick with the vita-like products and don’t try their coffee.

Vita is a nice, inspirational place to sit or work and enjoy food for which no animal has had to suffer in any way. This is the ultimate place for tasty guilt-free-food!

Vita has two locations: one in Palermo and one in the centre of Buenos Aires. You can also visit their online shop!

Mercadito Latino

January 19, 2016$$, Dinner, San Telmo, Serves fish/meat & veggie, VegetarianDanielle

Mercadito Latino is the place to be for those times when you feel a craving for good Mexican (vegetarian) food. The place offers vegetarian options but also serves meat and fish. We like it spicy and on request we received a wonderful, super spicy, home-made chili sauce with our vegetarian quesadilla’s, filled with grilled vegetables and cheese. Another good veggie option is the all-vegetarian sharing plate combining all vegetarian options of their menu.

Arevalito

January 18, 2016$$, Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Palermo, Vegan, VegetarianDanielle

Arevalito is a pure vegetarian restaurant with tastes from all over the world. Dinner options can be turned vegan on your request. The little, cosy restaurant is run by the charismatic Carmen Paz, who once ran a restaurant in a basement in central Amsterdam during the roaring 70’s. This place is very cute. It has an open kitchen at the front and three different spaces with a small number of tables and seats, including a little, airy patio. The division in different spaces ensures that wherever you sit, it feels cosy and comfortable.

We visited the place at a weird time for a late lunch (18h) when the crew was preparing for dinner. However, Carmen made sure they made us two nice and hearty dishes: a vegetable stir fry and a warm sandwich with an egg and grilled vegetables. Both were a good portion of healthy, honest vegetarian food. With it, we drank a home-made lemonade of lemon and ginger. The version without any sugar was our favorite!

We were pleased to have visited this friendly place, and would recommend it to anyone looking for honest vegetarian food.

BIO solo organico

January 18, 2016$$$, Bio, Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Organic, Palermo, Vegan, VegetarianDanielle

BIO solo organico is a unique place in Buenos Aires as it offers not only vegetarian and vegan delicious food, everything they serve is organic as well. This makes it a slightly pricier option, yet the food is definitely worth it. We are in love with their ginger & sesame ice cream and really enjoyed the tofu in mustard-sauce!

Curcuma

January 18, 2016$$, Almagro, Dinner, Vegan, VegetarianDanielle

Curcuma must be our all-time favorite vegetarian restaurant in Buenos Aires. It serves great food, the atmosphere is very relaxed and the service is super friendly. We love their patatas bravas covered in curcuma as a starter and the pizza with a wholemeal base and fresh rucola as a shared main combined with one of their fresh salads.

In the weekend Curcuma invites artists providing you with great live music and on Sundays you can even join in a tango class. This place is highly recommended and we are sure you will have a great time here!

Nola

January 17, 2016$$, Dinner, Lunch, Palermo, Serves fish/meat & veggie, Vegan, VegetarianBart

I have to admit, a bit weird to put this cajun-style-restaurant on this site, they serve just one or two veggie / vegan meals, all the other servings are chicken, chicken and more (fried) chicken. But before you close this page, let me explain why Nola deserves a place here.

First of all, Nola is a great place with a lovely atmosphere, guests and staff. These days it’s always full with people and the whole sidewalk is used as terrace. Second, they serve the best pints in Buenos Aires, from the Broëders Brewery. My all time favorite is the IPA but taste them all before you decide what your favorite beer is. And as last, order a plate of red beans & rice with that. Served in old white bowls you’ll feel like being back in the ol’ times, enjoying your lunch in Louisiana while zipping a cold beer.

So even though it’s not really a super vegetarian friendly place, I love to come here. Not for a romantic dinner but for a good plate of food accompanied with the best beer in town! And don’t forget: happy hour every day between 17h and 20h.

Hierbabuena

January 16, 2016$$$, Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, San Telmo, Serves fish/meat & veggie, VegetarianBart

A well known restaurant in Buenos Aires which you don’t only see in blog posts about healthy food in the city. You’ll find it in almost every guide. And there is a damn good reason for that. Hierbabuena is a very, very good restaurant. I remember the first time I went here. Had an meeting close to the restaurant but was a bit early so walked in for a bite, sat down and didn’t want to leave anymore! I was in Buenos Aires for a while already and by then it was difficult to find outstanding vegetarian food. But here I was, in this lovely place with a nice green interior, enjoying a lovely vegetarian fusion plate with a good glass of wine.

Every time I went back here I loved it even more. The staff has always been very friendly and the food and recipes keep on changing and surprising me. And you can take your meat-eating date to this restaurant and don’t have to be afraid that she ‘ll hate you for taking you to a vegetarian restaurant, because the menu offers both vegetarian options as meat / fish plates. It’s not the cheapest option but go here at least once, you won’t regret it.
