Those who visit the Colombian capital and who eat a vegetarian or vegan diet have nothing to worry about. Bogotá offers not only a wide variety of vegetarian restaurants, but also vegetarian markets, bakeries and pastry shops with gluten-free products, vegetarian sausages, vegetarian cooking courses and more.
Colombians have a culinary tradition in which beef and other animals play a very important role. Depending on which region of Colombia you are in, you may find yourself with typical breakfasts in which the morning coffee will be accompanied by a large portion of meat, as for example in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Fortunately, Colombia has a great variety of fruits and vegetables as well as products made from corn that can compensate for the excess protein!
Following the HappyCow site you can find a large number of these establishments. Here at Aventure Colombia we present you the top 5 best vegetarian restaurants and restaurants with vegan options in Bogota:
Felipan
51st Street#9-73
With its motto “every day something different” this restaurant in which its owner and chef Felipe Forero, prepares a daily menu that never repeats and others that do, such as the exquisite lasagna; is one of the favorites of vegetarians and non-vegetarians for its selection of fresh and alternative seasonal ingredients. Felipan also produces gluten-free pizzas, sandwiches, chocolates, cookies and wholemeal breads. We recommend their eggplant lasagna in garlic sauce!
Fractals
136 Street #18-07
This vegetarian restaurant processes its food under the Ayurvedic technique. The menu of the day includes soup, main course, fruit juice and dessert. Fractales is also a space where activities aimed at improving the quality of life of people through the approach of holistic medicine, meditation, yoga, among others. It has a shop where they sell organic products.
We recommend that you try their specialty: The vegetarian paisa tray, the Fractales version of the typical dish of the department of Antioquia. Only on Fridays. Excellent!
