CARTAGENA RESTAURANTS: BEST VEGETARIAN

30/8/2013

3 Comments

 
Picture
So I'm going to ignore the vegetarians that eat seafood and just concentrate on non-pescatorians and vegans.

It's not easy being green here.. but it's not impossible and there's definitely some good options if you know where to look. Also a lot of the street snacks are vego friendly (like the carimola arepa de queso and arepa de huevo sin carne)..  not to mention all that fruit!

TORRE LUNA
With an ENTIRE vegetarian menu and vegan listed menu items this place is the best vegetarian restaurant in Cartagena. Above is a picture of the vegetarian rice.
Centro, Calle de Cuartel

GIRASOLES
Specialist vegetarian health foody cuisine only open for breakfast and lunch.
San Diego, Calles de los Puntales

SOL DE INDIA
Tasty, healthy, good-valued vegetarian fare with very pleasant yoga-types attending to your every whim. Lunch. Also try the Hare Krishna vego lunch at the Sanctuario del Yoga for a bargain 5,000.
San Diego Calle Tumbamuertos

GOKELA
Healthy wraps, salads and soups with plenty of meat-free, high protein options on offer.
Bocagrande, opposite La Mansion

CREPES 'N' WAFFLES
Plenty of vegetarian options and an awesome salad bar that features high-protein quinoa, beans and legumes.

GANESHA
Indian restaurant with good vegetarian choices available for the non-meat eaters. Also try Pardesh in Getsemani.
San Diego, Calle de las Bovedas

EL BISTRO
Again.. not a vegetarian restaurant.. but there's good options like vegetabl-y pasta, stirfries etc in this friendly euro-colombo fusion bistro. Also.. makes the best bread in Cartagena for when you tire of the sweet, spongey stuff they call bread here.
Centro, Calle de Ayos

BORDER BURRITO CO
Bean burritos and salads, tacos and bean soups.. all make good vegetarian-friendly meals.
Bocagrande, Avenida San Martin

TRATTORIA DI SILVIO
I'm including this here solely due to their amazing apple, blue cheese, basil and balsamic pizza. Goddamn it is good.
Getsemani, Calle de Serpientes

M COCINA
The lebanese restaurants of Bocagrande have really good meat-free options for vegetarians and vegans.. falafels and hummus and dips and platters etc etc. Also try La Dulceria for the best meal-salads in the city.
Bocagrande, Calle 6

**Also noteworthy: the vegetable carpaccio with goats cheese from Don Juan. Simple and divine! And the vegetarian sushi roll from Tabetai

Thank you so much for this valuable information, since i'm veggie it has been so hard for me to find the decent places to eat.
You have done it greatly
But i will recommand if you like Salads, Crepes and waffles, definitly the best raw vegetables in town, and the crepes and Waffles in next to San Pedro Clavier, is a very nice place. And pradesh is back, after being closed, exactly where you say. it's a good deal for Cheap vegetarian food at night, but it lacks of ambiance fo sure!

Hey Sylvain! Thanks for the comment.. I've discovered another bargain option for when you need vegetables.. The takeaway salads from Restaurante Espiritu Santos in Calle Porvenir (not far from the uni). Ask for the Ensalada Mixta and you get a giant portion of stirfried vegetables for 3,000 pesos! Today's offering was stirfried julienned strips of egggplant, carrot, zucchini and onion. The other day it was a waldorf style salad with cabbage, apple, nuts and sultanas. Great value (although no protein..)
