Fuen-naturales Fuente De Vida - Bogotá

I have not tried their lunch menu, so this review is focusing mainly on the empanadas, but I have to say they are amazing! So far they are number 1 on my vegan empanada list in Bogotá, together with the ones at Sabyi. The flavor can change slightly from day to day, usually they have mashed potatoes with some ground soy meat as a filling and I really like that they add a hint of oriental spice as well. You just can't stop ordering more! It is best to eat them there so you can enjoy them the typical Colombian way with ají (dipping sauce made from chili, onion, cilantro and lime juice). You can also have some vegan masato here, a traditional Colombian drink made from different grains and cinnamon. The owner is a very friendly gentleman who makes you feel welcome!

Só provei as empanadas e um pedaço de bolo. As empanadas são bem simples, recheadas de arroz e PTS. Pode parecer estranho o recheio com arroz, mas na vdd estavam bem saborosas. Um pouco secas se come só, mas ele dá um molhinho junto que é bem bom tbm. E o melhor, foi bem baratinho. 2000 pesos cada empanada. Já o bolo que eu experimentei, de laranja com goiabada, eu achei um pouco massudo. Mas o valor é ok tbm, 3500 pesos. Voltei lá no dia seguinte e eles tinham um tipo diferente de empanada. Dessa vez assada e maior. Custava 4000 pesos e era de batata com feijão. Muito boa tbm. Eles tem um menu do dia vegano tbm todos os dias por 15000 pesos, mas eu não experimentei esse.

I had lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. Today's lunch of the day cost 16,000 pesos (Sept 2022) and included a bowl of quinoa vegetable soup, a glass of blackberry juice, and the main plate which included three items: Oriental rice with mock meat and tiny cubed vegetables and sprouts mixed in, a slice of unsweetened carrot cake and a small salad. I also went on a Saturday and the meal of the day included a bowl of vegetable soup and the main plate which had lentils white rice and some sliced vegetables and some whole potatoes. This is good basic vegetarian food. Updated from previous review on 2022-09-17

Small vegetarian restaurant. We had the feeling everything on the menu was vegan. We had the daily menu: soup, main course and a juice. It looks authentic and is delicious. The staff was very friendly. We had some cake and thee for dessert. We paid just 8,5€ for everything together. Worth the visit.

Finally found some inexpensive veg empanadas
