It’s that time again folks! I’ve been busy treating my taste buds to delicious vegetarian delicacies across this massive metropolis. Here are my top vegetarian restaurants in Bogota for this week.
Loto Azul: Carrera 5A #14-00, La Candelaria
spinach and mushroom lasagna at Loto Azul
This Hare Krishna restaurant offers a set menu for about $4 USD, or you can pick something off the menu. I like the vegetarian lasagna, accompanied with a slice of pan integral and an unsweetened juice, for just under $3 USD. This restaurant also has cooking courses, eco retreats, and yoga classes. This place is always packed during lunch, so head upstairs if all the tables are full.
Quinua y Amaranto: Calle 11 #2-95, La Candelaria
vegetarian empanada from Quinua y Amaranto
Though their set menu lunches are a bit too rich for my budget at 10,000 pesos a pop ($5 USD), their empanadas offer an economical choice. They cost 4,000 pesos each ($2 USD) and come in two varieties: vegetables and quinoa.
Nuevo Horizonte: Calle 20 #6-35, Centro
massive set menu lunch at Nuevo Horizonte
Are you starving? Head to Nuevo Horizonte for one of the biggest almuerzos you’ll find. A pea-and-carrot curry type of dish, rice, lasagna, soup, juice, and a salad will set you back 6,00 pesos, or about $3 USD. Hare Krishna!
