Rico

Me gustó mucho, pero hay poca variedad y mucha clientela por lo que se demoran en atender. La salchipapa estaba muy fea, pero el resto estuvo muy muy rico

Best vegan food in La calendaria!

We shared two dishes and a side and it was absolutely delicous! The restaurant is a very cute and cozy place and the staff was very friendly and explained everything on the menu in english to us.

You should absolutely try the dish with the frijoles! :)

Tasty, affordable & authentic cuisine

The small simple restaurant has nice staff an affordable prices. The menu has typical colombian food. We had the Frijolada ( it came with beans with rice, plantain and avocado) and the Arroz atollado (with salad and potatoes) and it was very tasty.

Pros: The taste and amount of food, The staff and music, The price

Very salty

I don’t like salty stuff and asked for portion size before ordering and this amount of rise isn’t filling, also sadly the girl who works there doesn’t know the menu. But I don’t judge of course, staff is very friendly there!
Brownie dressers was actually very good and I liked it very much, I forgot to take the pic but they had some peanut butter on top and it was very yummy!

Incredibly tasty, diverse dishes and authentic atmosphere

Ingenious! Very idealistic store. High quality food. I particularly liked the diversity " the pea stew is not just pea stew, see photos. Authentic, rebellious ambience. Opens at 12 noon.

Traditional Colombian food made vegan

I got a traditional Colombian soup, ajiaco. I thought it was medium good. It wasn't amazing, and it wasn't bad. The restaurant was playing loud music which isnt my preferred experience, but the music itself wasn't bad. My waiter explained all the options to me in English, which was really helpful.

Delicious food

During my stay in Bogota I was so happy to find this lovely vegan spot very close by. My first lunch was there, we shared a menu of the day and another soup, my Colombian friend seemed very happy with the food too. We were so impressed that we came back the next day for dinner, and had a delicious bean burger and one of the tastiest hot dogs I've ever had. I still want to go back and try their empanadas! The portions are big, very good value for money, the meals are freshly prepped and have plenty of flavour.

Maize-overload

Salsa music. Limited space. Quick service. Nice animal rights posters on the walls. You can buy shirts with different vegan texts and motifs.
Kombucha, juice, ice tea and beer on the drink menu.
Both dishes were very corn-based. Never eaten so much corn in one sitting 😛 Hope my metabolism can handle this carbohydrate and fiber explosion. #Veganuary

Veganismo criollo no centro histórico de Bogotá

Vale muito à pena almoçar no Maria Candela. O restaurante oferece leituras veganas da culinária regional, sendo perfeito para casar com uma visita ao Centro Histórico de Bogotá, onde está localizado.

O atendimento é cortês e a comida muito gostosa. Fiquei bem satisfeito com minha experiência.

Pros: Totalmente vegano, Comida saborosa, Ambiente agradável

Hearty homely food

This place was just what we were looking for - hearty and filling local food that would see us through for the rest of the day.

Not all items were available on menu, but the waiter explained.

Food was hot and flavourful, and importantly it was filling. Dessert was such a treat!

Great find

Our first visit at lunchtime we shared the frijolada (a bean stew with sides) and it was excellent. Service is great
We had tried to go to another nearby spot at night that was a disappointment so we knew we could fall back on this place. On that visit we each had a hotdogs (they were out of sausage but the waiter suggested having chorizo) and it was the best stuffed hotdogs... tasty, filling. Also good fritos

Of all the places I tried during my trip, maria candela was the best. It was a great opportunity to try vegan versions of all the local dishes!
