⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Edit
Had the chickpea burger with seitan and oyster mushrooms. Delicious. Small restaurant with only a few tables and one person working.
Read moreWaiter told us the credit card machine was down, but according to earlier reviews this may not be true.

Good food and really nice restaurant - Edit
We had the spaghetti bolognaise and the pizza. The food was good but the pasta wasn’t really a bolognaise. Although still nice. The chocolate mousse as dessert was great! Really nice restaurant to sit and kind staff.

Marvellous sensations - Edit
I loved my experience at Vida Vegan. Already on the way to the upper floor, where the restaurant is located, you are welcomed by a fairytale like decoration. The dining room itself also spreads a very cozy and tasteful vibe. The menu is versatile with many good sounding dishes. I chose their signature salad plus the quinoa soup. Portion sizes were huge, the presentation was beautiful, the taste outstanding, and the service was fast and kind. Truly a must visit, when in Cusco.

Cash only…? - Edit
I saw a young girl trying to make a payment, and the waiter told her, “Cash only.” She looked surprised and like “Really?”.
Read moreBut actually they do accept cards. We paid by card ourselves. I wonder why he lied to her…? Because she doesn’t speak Spanish? ..??
We also ordered one appetizer and two main dishes, but one of the mains never came. My partner asked the waiter about it, and the waiter blamed the chef, which didn’t seem very professional. That should be their responsibility.
They apologized and gave us free drinks that we can’t drink. (I wish they asked us what we want😅.)
To make things worse, the food wasn’t very tasty either…
I’m ok with the mistakes as everyone makes mistakes but I didn’t like the lie..🙏

Worth a visit - Edit
Great selection of Peruvian fusion dishes. Food is tasty and fresh. Portions are huge, so most guests were leaving some food on the plate or asking for a doggy bag. The place is simple but nice. It is pretty cold even indoors, so wear warm clothes. Unfortunately, our appetisers and main dishes were brought out at the same time, rushing the dining experience. We loved the pisco sour!

Well-served local dishes - Edit
So many options to choose from, it was a very difficult task! I ordered the salteado criollo de carne and it was really good! A huge portion, I was totally satisfied by the end. Their seitan is indeed very juicy, definitely recommended! The burger was also huge. Oh, and they brought an appetizer as a courtesy while we waited, which was lovely.

Must for vegans in Cusco - Edit
Very cute place with friendly staff and excellent food. They brought a tiny courtesy appetizer of pickled vegetables. I got the quinoa soup which was comforting and delicious which came with a really good home made bread on the side. I also had the papa a la huancaina which I’ve always wanted to try and it was a delectable vegan version. The papaya juice I ordered was a nice portion and very refreshing. I wish I could take this place back with me to California! I could tell they put care and love into their food.

We had the most delicious food here and was presented so nicely! They have games to play while you’re waiting! Also a vegan pisco sours is a must! We tried to go back the next day as it was so nice! It said it was open when but we turned up they were shut so we were disappointed! But we had a lovely meal the evening before and I would recommend!!

Cocina típica peruana de alto nivel - Edit
A pesar de mi corta experiencia como vegano y de no haber disfrutado de tantos restaurantes como me hubiera gustado, Vida Vegan Bistro bien merecería estar dentro de mi lista de experiencias favoritas hasta la fecha.
Read morePor suerte para mi, tuve la ocasión de probar varios platos del restaurante, aunque lo cierto es que la adaptación de los platos peruanos a la cocina vegana es lo primero que fijó mi mirada tras ver la carta. La espera mereció la pena: probar los anticuchos de seitán siempre será de los mejores platos que probaré en mi vida. La cocina del restaurante es amor y artesanía pura: cada plato es único. Lo aplican también a la bebida, especialmente a los zumos (jugos), que es una elaboración de un mimo superior.
El ambiente del restaurante, la atención del personal de sala, la cocina así como la relación de calidad-precio de su carta, hacen de Vida Vegan Bistro la parada perfecta para disfrutar de la gastronomía peruana. Espero que este proyecto ubicado en el corazón de Cusco (Qosqo) siga vivo por mucho tiempo, sin duda es mi sitio de referencia en la ciudad.
