Sakti Hostal Y Pasteleria - Quito

This is a hare krishna style restaurant and B&B. The menu of the day was not vegan so I had a vegan burger, which was very tasty. I also stayed here one night and the rooms were lovely and quiet compared to the surrounding area. Breakfast was included and the owner made mine vegan. It was a good sized breakfast as well.

This place is another vego restaurant in the Mariscal area. This one has been in existence longer than most going back to the late 1990s. They have also recently expanded their business now also offering accomm in a hostal guest house. There were no vacancies when I tried to get in last night so I can't comment on what the accomm is like. The restaurant itself is quite big, lots of tables. They offer a menu del dia for a bargain $3.25. They also offer empanadas, lasagne and some sort of a mushroom gratin type dish. The menu del dia was vegan when I went, the other dishes I mentioned were not. They also offer a wide selection of cakes.

We stopped here after lunch at Formosa, another restaurant a couple of buildings away. The restaurant is airy and beautiful. We only ordered the vegan Apple strudel. It was flaky and delicious, but expensive $2.95, about 3x the price of the vegan strudel at Oki Eco Market downtown.

So i went there on a thursday midday and they dint have lunch. They just had vegan lasagna, veggie lasagna, and normal lasagna. I took the vegan lasagna and it was quite good. The juice was also good. The bread accompanying it was bad. Quite dry. Quite big.

Whenever I arrive in Quito Ecuador, I stay in this hostel, which is run by a vegetarian couple. And a delicious vegetarian breakfast is included with a hamburger and a variety of fruits, granola, yogurt, etc.
