maybe I came on a bad day... - Edit
I was so excited to try this place after the glowing reviews and the fact that it was also in close proximity to my hotel in San Blas.
Read moreThe owner was not friendly or welcoming to me at all and I got the feeling that I was inconveniencing him by eating there for dinner...as I was the only one in the place from 6-7PM.
I ordered their Papa a la huancaína which had a gorgeous presentation but was terribly bland. I also had their mushroom/seaweed soup which was very tasty and had a great flavor.
The place was a 50/50 for me, especially considering how not welcoming it was, I am not sure I will return with other good options in the area.
Pros: vegan, well-priced
Cons: unfriendly, food is hit/miss

best vegan food in Cusco! - Edit
I lived in Cusco for two months and this was the best Vegan food I had during my whole trip. The pizza was delicious, hearty, fresh, and very filling. The owner is also so friendly waits/makes the food himself. I had a pineapple juice, pizza, and carrot cake and I'm so happy I ate here the day before I left otherwise I would have missed out! It cost less and tasted fresher than many other Vegan restauruants I'd been to near the plaza so the quality is impressive.
Read morePros: fresh and home made , great price, welcoming and friendly atmosphere

Wow factor! - Edit
Still can't believe that the owner is also Chef and waiter, him and his assistant will prepare you amazing vegan food in a tiny kitchen. The lasagne have to be the specialty dish of this place - the best ones I had in my life, they were so moist! Also the presentation is amazing, you feel like in a 5-star restaurant, the difference is that it's cheap and the owner is so humble! Love the coziness of the place, while you wait for your food to be served you can play jenga ;)

food made with love, attention and creativity - Edit
The man who runs this place and who is a complete delight is so attentive to his customers and his food, it was nearly enough to make me weep. He begun by apologising profusely that there would be a long wait (and I could see why as he only had one lady helping him). I told him it wasn't a problem and boy was I glad I waited, as were the other customers in the place who I exchanged words with on how good the food was. I savoured every mouthful, it was just lovely.

beautiful vegan food made with so much love and care! - Edit
We were blown away with the quality of the food here. We came one night with a larger group of 5 of and there were already a few in the restaurant as everything is made fresh there was a bit of a wait but we were given a jenga set to play with so we hardly noticed the wait. It was worth it though as all the food we had was beautifully presented and tasted delicious - you really felt the love in all the food!

Excellent food - Edit
I read that the place was had only 3 tables, but I counted 5, so no need to worry about seating availability. The menu has so many interesting options it is difficult to choose. There were many pasta options, but I wanted to try a peruvian criole dish and ordered the saltado. Never has soy meat been so tasty before! Absolutely bursting with flavour. And not expensive for 18 soles. Had it not been my last night in Cusco I would very happily have returned here to try out more dishes.

Gorgeous Food, Great Owner - Edit
Food is delicious and beautifully plated. Lunch menu is well priced. It's easy to spend $10usd here if you want the full experience. Most main courses are around $5 for dinner, plus $2-3 for a drink and $3-4 for dessert. This is the perfect place to splurge on amazingly plated, fresh vegan food.
Read moreOne thing, the owner is typically working the kitchen by himself, so food can take a long time. I watched a few people walk out of the restaurant because he didn't come to their table right away to take their order, as he was working on other guests' orders. Know this going into the restaurant and you'll be all good.
The pizza is effing wild. So incredible. Best vegan pizza I've had to date.
Pros: All-vegan, Tasty, Cool owner - plays great music
Cons: Slightly pricey

Delicious and friendly - Edit
This place is awesome. The menu is so extensive it took my friend and I nearly an hour to decide. The guy who runs the place is so lovely that he didn't seem to mind at all. The food was so good, I ordered one of his veganised traditional vegan dishes and it was super yummy. I noticed he was playing my favourite band's music as well then he let me play a bit of music through the speaker. All in all a really great experience. I would highly recommend

We went here 2 days in a row.
Read moreThe lasagna is amazing, the owner is SUPER friendly, the food is great, the atmosphere is great, the EVERYTHING is great!
We've been to numerous vegan restaurants in many places around the world, and this was hands-down, 100%, without-a-doubt the best lasagna we've ever had. Ever.
He creates everything by hand, and there's a special attention to detail in how to not just replicate but innovate and improve on standard recipes. He doesn't allow anything in his restaurant to be less than awesome.
My wife even cried eating a dessert she hadn't had since childhood and never thought anyone would make a vegan version.
Please go support this amazing, delicious, independent vegan business!
Has more tables now, has a bigger menu now, and everything we tried was awesome, especially the desserts!

delicious food! - Edit
This place was fantastic. The only is a solo worker who makes all the meals fresh and full of ingredients. We had a pizza and lasagne and i will come back for sure to try more of the menu! Lovely vegan place has a cozy feel with only a few tables. Back to the pizza, which is so delicious I think it'll appear in my dreams.

Super delicious, a must-do in Cusco - Edit
Vida Vegan bistro is probably the best that Cusco can offer for vegans and non-vegans alike! We went there randomly one day and kept coming back almost everyday. The owner is a nice local guy, he makes everything from scratch - different types of vegan cheese, vegan sausage etc. If you want to try traditional Peruvian foods (even ceviche!) in vegan version - this is the place to go. He also seems very passionate about the food he's making and takes care that everything is fresh and of great quality (he's also the cook). Every meal we ate there was delicious and full of flavour. Portions are large, one meal will fill you up for good. Just great!
Read morePros: Very tasty, large portions, friendly service, cosy
Cons: None. Just GO!

Amazing Homemade Food! - Edit
My boyfriend and I visited multiple times during our stay in Cusco. The food is absolutely amazing! One guy who is the Chef and the owner makes everything from scratch! We had ravioli and other pasta dishes and they were the best pasta dishes we ever had! Best and only place to have a Vegan Pisco Sour! (We would keep going back for the pisco alone) Excellent experience! We felt like we were in his home rather than restaurant! He has games and books for you to entertain yourself while you wait for the food! Great place to have a leisurely dinner.

a special experience - Edit
This place is super cozy. Just 3 tables and one guy who runs it.
Read moreWhile he is cooking , you are invited to play some of his games (like jenga) which is a really nice idea!
We ordered a smoothie with was really good and the cook even gave us the rest which was too much and would not fit in the Glas. He also offered free coca tea.
We also had a lasagna, which was ok, and a pizza which was really nice but unfortunately a little bit to burned (black) on the bottom.
All in all I would really recommend going here if you are in cusco!
Pros: cosy, awesome staff, Games to play with
Cons: no outdoor seating

A must if you are in Cusco! - Edit
What a wonderful restaurant! It is tiny - two tables - and obvious the chef and owner puts a lot of pride into everything he does. We had the mushroom ceviche, lasagna bolognese, and saltando pasta. Everything is made fresh to order, which means it can take some time, but the wait is worth it - everything was flavorful and nicely balanced. Highly recommended.

A friend and I went for dinner. The owner is so sweet and the good is amazing. He makes everything himself. We had the sausage lasagna and the mushroom ceviche. Both were amazing. Only wished I could have eaten more. Can't wait to go back and try more of the excellent food

Lovely Restaurant - Edit
Small and quaint restaurant located in the area of san blas. I really appreciated the chef's attention to detail and I could tell he puts a lot of love in to his food. It was hard to choose from the menu as there are so many great options but I decided on a pizza and was not dissapointed. Everything was made fresh and i was even served with free tea and warm plantain chips while I waited. Please visit this restaurant when you are in Cusco.
