Even though I went to Medellin this week to pick up a care package my family sent me (thanks guys!), I still managed to hit up a couple of different vegetarian restaurants in Bogota this past week.
Maha: Carrera 7, #46 – 42
This is my new favorite place to eat in Bogota. Their menu was sent straight from the vegetarian dreamland. Not only do they have the usual menu of the day, but they also have a ton of other options like sandwiches, Mexican, Asian, different types of vegetarian hamburgers, Italian, and alternative cocktails (alcohol free). I went for the Mexican fajita, which satisfied my eternal craving for Mexican food for that day. Head upstairs to eat, they have cool Asian seating and this awesome mural:
Sabyi: Carrera 24, #86A-40, Polo Club
Sabyi is found in Bogota’s exclusive Polo Club neighborhood. Unfortunately, it’s menu prices match the cost of the surrounding barrio, with this set menu costing almost 10,000 pesos, or $5 USD. On the plus side, they have their own brand of vegetarian products and they’re open on Sundays!

Thanks for this, I am in Bogota on a Business trip, am vegeterian, and have not enjoyed the food so far. Will try these restaurants

My fear of life in Bogota is the lack of E and SE Asian food. Will I be able to find a decent bowl of vegetarian noodle soup anywhere? Or just decent E and SE Asian food? Did you cook food while you were there or just eat out all the time? Would I be even able to find the materials to cook Asian food?

I think you can find just about anything in Bogota… there’s a Mongolian Buffet, sushi, and Thai in La Candelaria alone. I cook food here and eat out… it’s a massive city and there are eating options for everyone. I think you’ll be fine!
