    So wonderful to have great vegan options easily available in Havana. We went here a couple times during our visit. The malanga fritters and paella we had were favorites. The juices were good too. The decor was cute. Highly, highly recommend.

    I came here many times during my time in Havana! I loved every moment. I had a chance to talk to the owner and other family members! All very welcoming and easy to talk to. The food was full of flavor, fresh and made with love. A MUST visit if you're in Cuba!

    The only place carefully tailored to serve those who doesn’t take part in animal cruelty (altho they do serve non-vegan/vegetarian dishes otherwise it wouldn’t survive in Havana) Lovely atmosphere and super nice service. The vegan paella was spot on and the burger was a savior...fresh healthy juice available too! Too bad I found this place a day before I was leaving havana. Even if you’re not vegan/vegetarian you will definitely enjoy this little heaven in Havana.

    Great spot with vegan options! The hummus here was amazing as was the vegan burger! Cheap juice and great happy hour deals between 6 and 8pm. They had a fully vegetarian/vegan menu!

    Vegetarian/vegan and in Havana? You have to come here. Everything I tried over three visits was amazing, my personal favorites were the veggie burger and paella. I also like the cheap (1CUC!) juice you can get here. Decor is funky and cool and the service is excellent. Come check this place out, you will not be disappointed.

    The food was okay. Waiter doesn’t speak English. Just a particular menu. Nothing special. As a vegan I’ve seen better but 3 stars because they tried.

    (Translated by Google) Our child is phenylketonuric and we hardly ever find other options (besides salads) for dinner. Today we found this place and we found it fabulous. Thank you (Original) Nuestro niño es fenilcetonurico y casi nunca encontramos otras opciones (además de ensaladas) para cenar. Hoy encontramos este lugar y nos pareció fabuloso. Gracias

    Excellent vegan food. Good selection of options , the menu varies day to day but we tried the burger, tacos, paella and chocolate cake which were all really tasty. The hot sauce is great too. The staff are very friendly, very homely cafe style atmosphere

    Für mich das beste Essen, was ich in meiner 3 wöchigen Zeit in Kuba hatte. Unbedingt vorbeischauen, wenn ihr in Havanna seid. Ich war während meines Aufenthalts mehrmals dort.

  • 5/5 Kayla P. 1 year ago on Google
    THEY ARE NOT OPEN MONDAYS!! not leaving a bad review because we did not get the chance to eat here but we did spend 1000 pesos to get here and we’re promptly turned away. Very disappointing, someone should update their page

  • 5/5 Yuval 5 years ago on Google
    Great restaurant! We enjoyed some really great vegan food that was made with vegetables - hamburger, taco, and sandwich! All was delicious. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Phyllis W. 4 years ago on Google
    Best food in Havana. The sandwich, hummus, stuffed eggplant and burger are very good!!! On Av Consulado, crossing with Neptuno. HIGHLY recommended.

  • 5/5 Kelly W. 4 years ago on Google
    Love this place. I went 3 times during my visit to Havana. As a vegetarian it was one of the few places in Cuba I could get a ton of veggies. I had the veg paella once and one of their salads (cooked veg and chickpeas) with rice twice. Nice sauces they use and staff are friendly and speak English.

  • 5/5 Nancy S. 4 years ago on Google
    Claims to be vegan, but has also meat on their menu. Nonetheless great vegan and vegetarian options. Affordable and delicious. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We went there almost daily on our Havanna trip.

  • 5/5 cassie b. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Absolute little gem, by far the best food we've eaten after 11 days in Cuba. Please try you won't be disappointed even if you are a meat eater as this place actually has flavour.

  • 5/5 Will R. 6 years ago on Google
    A whole menu full of vegetarian & vegan meals - very wholesome and filling. A small unpretentious bar/restaurant, just a few short steps from La Plaza Vieja and worth visiting for a number of reasons: a warm welcome; good hearty food for veggies and their meat-eating friends; reasonable prices; quirky decor (styled after the owner's tatoo!) a small family business (the type that's worth supporting in my opinion) and an extensive cocktail menu, that's only 1 CUC between 6 & 8pm! What could be better than that?!

  • 5/5 Athanasios M. 7 months ago on Google
    One of the two restaurants we found in Havana with vegan options. We had lunch there a couple of times, it was quiet with some background music and a big fan to cool us down. The food was very nice and the service too. The portions (and the prices) are small, consider ordering some more.

    Tasty vegan dishes, nice choice.

  • 5/5 Anna J. 1 month ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Not just the best vegan food in Havana but the best food full stop. Every single thing on the menu is delicious, the food is wholesome, comforting and authentic. The service is efficient and helpful, the vibes are excellent. The walls are decorated with recipes (strangely not all of them are vegan/vegetarian, but this does not detract from the quality of the food at all).

  • 4/5 Vegan E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The most special one is "Vegetarian Paella (Spanish big pot rice)". Generally, Paella uses seafood, and the vegetarian version is not bad! My favorite is "Stuffed Eggplant w / Grated Vegetables (without cheese)". Eggplant is the key, soft and juicy. The vegetables used in the two courses are actually the same, but the taste and style are very different ~ The most special one is "Vegetarian Paella".

    great restaurant. try hummus or quesadillas. service was excellent

  • 5/5 claudia m. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small place, but well cared for in detail given the area (behind hotel Inglaterra). Dishes, as often happens, cooked on the spot with long waiting times, but acceptable given the results. Vegetarian and vegan menu but also of the Cuban tradition (here you can taste the fufu'-mashed sycamore- with cerdo meat or tostones rellenos). To try. (Original) Locale piccolo, ma ben curato nei dettagli vista la zona (dietro hotel Inglaterra) . Piatti, come spesso accade, cucinati sul momento con lunghi tempi di attesa, ma accettabili visti i risultati. Menù vegetariano e vegano ma anche della tradizione cubana (qui si può assaggiare il fufu'-purè di platano- con la carne di cerdo o i tostones rellenos). Da provare.

    I believe this is the only full vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Havana. The prices are very affordable and the food is soooo good. I ate here twice and tried 4 diff plates. Also can’t beat the 1 CUC happy hour!

  • 5/5 Hyein P. 4 years ago on Google
    It was my fav restaurant in Havana. It has many vegan options and they also have non-vegan options. Since i'm not vegan I tried both. They were all good. Happy hour 6-8 1cuc for 1cocktail.

😠 The place is beautiful, but the service leaves a lot to be desired, of what is on the menu there is almost nothing, and when you ask for what there is, every time they come and tell you that it is over. I really do not plan to repeat or recommend it to anyone else.
