we went into this eco-friendly and natural business that is beautifully located and has a very welcoming interior and style. we went for the menu del dia, which is a common thing in latin america, which often means that it is a 3 straight for a good price. 18 sohlen were for a suppe and for a main course and if they want a dessert, there are 5 sohlen extra. we both had. it were probably the smallest parts we had in o...

We just had an almond milk milkshake and a coffee and bought some chocolate. Lovely inside and seemed to have a few good vegan options for meals too.
This is a really nice little shop, run by a friendly woman, and they have vegan ice cream in the freezer by the front door, made by Mamina Productos Naturales (or Saludables). They are 15 soles for a half liter (Mamina sells her ice cream at the Barranco farmers market every Sunday for 12 soles a half liter), and are made from almond milk and they are incredible! They usually have Coconut, Chocolate, and Passion Fruit and Mango (not made with milk). I love this store so much for the sole reason that they have delicious vegan ice cream readily available whenever I feel like indulging.
I wouldn't call this a restaurant so much as a natural food store. I'm rating this 3 stars based solely on the fact that I could only order a cup of coffee there and even that, they didn't really want to do. That's the bad. The good is they had an amazingly friendly staff and an impressive inventory of vegan-friendly items for purchase. I don't have a kitchen here in Lima so that didn't help me much though. They have a little café area. If they were to get that running and serve even small items, I'd likely boost their rating substantially. For now, just consider this place a natural food tienda.
Had a great lunch for cheap! The food was simple but tasty and there is also a small health food store and fun thrift clothing store in here.
