But there are other items on the main menu that look like they could be vegan. On the menu board, there is a list of vegan options. Brent had a burrito and Elsie had a burger that were just good. I had a curry that was probably the best curry I’ve ever had in my life. Close to Cocles Beach.Įl Sol Del Caribe is always busy… and for good reason! My biggest suggestion here would be to stick to what they do best… curries and Asian foods. And probably my second favorite place in all of Puerto Viejo (just behind AmaSer ). There was also a kids' corner with coloring and a few toys. They were extremely personable and made you feel right at home. Port Vell cured all of our bad-day moods. We had scheduled a dance class that hadn’t worked out, had wandered around getting sweaty and dehydrated, and I was starting to get a headache. To be honest, the first time we visited here we were having a rocky start to the day. If you’re in the mood for something refreshing, though, it’s definitely a good option. But compared to the other two meals, not as special. It was packed with flavor and definitely a repeatable meal. Their Grilled Vegan Sammie was made with homemade bread, hummus, and roasted veggies. Even our five-year-old finished her entire plate! It came with rice and beans, hummus, guacamole, pan-fried and julienned veggies, watermelon, fried plantains, and corn tortillas. Gallo Pinto is a traditional Costa Rican dish, so we were incredibly excited to find a vegan version! And it’s a great meal to get when you are hungry. And we tried them all! They also had pipa, or fresh coconut, which is always fun and refreshing. The main vegan food options at Port Vell are a Vegan Gallo Pinto, a Grilled Vegan Sammie, and an Acai bowl. Location: In town, on a quiet side street Restaurants with Vegan Options in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica Which I don’t mind, but not at all what I expected. Really, it comes with 1-2Tbsp of raw shredded cabbage. And just as an FYI, the menu says that all dishes come with coleslaw. The other dishes that we got that were just… meh, were the sweet potato fries, breadfruit fish, spanish omelette, johnny cake, and patacones. I would seriously try this place again if I brought my own salt shaker with me. And not too spicy if that’s not really your thing.Įverything else needed more flavor… and salt. The jerk jackfruit burger was by far the best dish.
We divulged in a large sampling of their menu, as our visit had been much anticipated. This is the place to go if you really want to divulge in filling, hearty, and possibly fried foods. And the atmosphere is very relaxed and makes you feel right at home. Which is a shame because everyone there is SO friendly. But there was really only one stand-out dish, and all the rest were pretty… blah. Location: Just outside of town and easily walkable from town. Average Meal Price: 4700 colones (~8USD) *Cash Only*.
But trust me, even if you select just based on your tastebuds, your body will thank you. Either Vata, Pitta, or Kapha promoting or pacifying. Their lavender lemonade has blueberry pea powder so the entire drink turns color… a huge hit with kids.Īnd each dish is labeled for its Ayurvedic benefits depending on what your body needs.
Their pancakes were served with orange-clove-infused agave syrup. Don’t worry, they have regular coffee, too.Īnd they even have a section with toys, books, and coloring that the kids can borrow while they wait for their meal.Įverything they make has a special twist on it. There were always digital nomads on their computers while sipping their Blue Moon Milks or Mushroom Magic Lattes. The energy here was always a big sigh and release of any possible stressors in life. By far, AmaSer was my favorite place to eat in all of Puerto Viejo. Enjoy your meal overlooking the ocean from the jungle hillside and just relax. Their café is 100% vegan and gluten-free… and delicious. AmaSer is a yoga retreat center that also provides drop-in classes and energy healing sessions.
