Vegetarian restaurants in Peru

  1. A

    Govinda

    True to form, the Hare Krishna-run Govinda serves up its hippie vegetarian menús without burning a hole in your pocket. The environs are cramped and dank, though.

    Sabor Salud Pizzería

    If all Italians were vegetarian, this is where they would eat. Flavor and health are the bywords for this little place, which also serves up spinach lasagna and other pastas, soy burgers, yogurt, fruit salads, vegetable salads, omelets, garlic bread, muesli - it's almost enough to entice hardened carnivores. Almost.

    Lemon Bee

    Extending back from busy Plateros street, this lime-green-colored eatery and lounge with globe lamps may not have the swiftest service, but each small plate is exquisitely done, from salads with glazed fruit and Andean cheeses to lomo (beef) in gourmet wine sauce. The cocktail list is lusciously long.

  4. Bircher Benner

    A longtime vegetarian restaurant and shop that produces a lengthy list of dishes, including veg-only versions of Peruvian staples such as lomo saltado, as well as a ‘ceviche’ crafted with marinated mushrooms, onions, cilantro, tomato and ricotta.

    Restaurante Gopal

    This basic, health-conscious vegetarian cafe specializes in traditional Peruvian dishes made with imitation meats, so you can enjoy lomo saltado (strips of beef stir-fried with onions, tomatoes, potatoes and chili) meat-free.

    Fulin

    This is a cheap vegetarian chifa in a rickety old building that somehow manages to deny the passing of time, but with a menu that offers gluten-free options. Just look for the sign with Chinese characters outside.

    Restaurant Los Alamos

    In an attractive patio within the hotel of the same name, this restaurant has good service and a long menu of Peruvian selections and a few vegetarian plates; it may have musicians in the evening.

    Victor Victoria

    Around the corner from the Plaza is this budget restaurant, providing princely portions of primarily Peruvian food. People can’t recommend it enough, especially for its filling portions.

    Villa Natura

    A no-frills veggie pit stop serving hearty stews, pastas and veggie renditions of the potato salads known as causas. There’s no sign; look for the street number over the door.

    Moni

    Tiny Moni is much loved for its good-value vegetarian fare, including a mean veg and quinoa curry and other adapted Peruvian dishes. The ambience is fresh and airy. Recommended.

  12. Sunlight Vegetarian House

    This no-frills Chinese vegetarian café has a faithful local following. You may have to shout your order because the dining room is open to the chaotic street.
