Green Eat – minimarket

Green Eat is a natural mini-market and has quite a unique concept in Buenos Aires. You can buy natural pre-packed food like salads, sushi, wraps, sandwiches that all look good and yummy. You can take it with you or eat it in store, where they also sell yams, marmelades, cupcakes and other sweet tooth-things.

Not all the food at Green Eat is vegetarian but they sure have many (i think mainly) vegetarian ánd vegan options. As we were in a hurry ourselves, I took a natural yoghurt and fruit cup to go. MAN it was good! I really loved it and will go back to taste more of their lovely foody things soon.

Grean Eat has two locations on or near Santa Fe; so you can shop ánd treat yourself to some goodness in the same street.

Koh Lanta

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.

IMG_4784IMG_4787

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

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

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 :)

Full City Coffee House

Although this is actually a coffee bar, Full City Coffee House manages to serve delicious dishes as well. It’s not just vegetarian but they have some damn good options. I always go for the hummus sandwich and that is I think, worth a try for everyone. Besides that we love to come here for just a cup of coffee as well. FCCH also sells the beans they use them self so you can make a your own I-just-came-out-of-bed-coffee.

Casa Munay

No# 3 on our favorites list! This cute little Almacen & Café Bar serves dishes made with natural, organic, vegetarian and vegan products. You can join them for a vegetarian breakfast or lunch and drinks, work there or just chat with friends and take their lovely products home afterwards.

From the street this looks like a small shop, yet behind the Almacen area you find a cute indoor patio with several seets to work or have lunch. We are great fan of the Tostada’s with Humus and Grilled Vegetables and the Bruscetta’s with three different toppings (Humus with caramalised union, Protobellos, and Pesto with sundried tomatos).

Order a bottle of home made Mint&Ginger lemonade and you are good to go!

Enjoy!

shiva

Cocina Shiva Mangalam

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!

almacen purista

Almacén Purista

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!

IMG_4388IMG_4444

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.

IMG_4445

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

Vita

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!

Arevalito

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

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

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!

Buenos Aires Verde

Our second favorite place! Buenos Aires Verde is famous in town for the special dishes they serve. Sit outside or inside with a view over the kitchen. It’s usually very busy so if you want to enjoy a meal at prime-time, make sure you reserve a table. Otherwise you might have to wait a little.

They serve 100% vegetarian and several vegan options varying from rice dishes with tofu, green salads, pasta, pizza, and several RAW food options too. They use natural, organic products many different juices, home made lemonades –

The staff is friendly and ‘ll prepare you a nice fresh juice or smoothie to accompany your plate. Smoothies (also vegan options)  can be enriched with Polen, spirulina, or maca,
They have a little shop with wine, books, scin care products (Weleda) and beautiful tortas to take away, like a raw chocolate brownie!

We have gone several times and have enjoyed our food every time. Try one of the salads if you are in green mood, or a lentil hamburger with papas or couscous salad if you are more of the hungry type :-). We loved it!

Nola

Nola

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.

SnorNOLA1

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.
