Amazing, fantastic, and delicious - Edit
Wow. So wonderful. We just finished a week in Costa Rica, and four days in quepos. I think we ate here four times. Incredible. Great variety, well made, unique and delicious dishes that lean into health. They have no hesitation making small adjustments to suit any needs you have. I loved the air fry fries. lol. But the gallon pinto was wonderful. The pad Thai was a huge surprise but was amazing and delicious. The juices were great, too. So glad we found them.

The best vegan place in all of Costa Rica - Edit
I cannot say enough nice things. You will be surprised, speechless, blindsided by the quality of this food. It’s likely some of the most inventive food in Quepos. VERY laid back, but flawless options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stay at any hotel nearby and walk to this and eat here everyday.
Read morePros: Inventive, delicious food , Huge and filling , Casual and relaxed
Cons: Expensive , Hours can be flexible

Delicious! - Edit
Had ‘the local’ breakfast bowl and did not disappoint. Vegan queso added some good flavour and nice to have something to add to the rice and beans which us vegans probably consume lots of while visiting CR. Good vibes and great service. Nice to have some fresh fruit and enjoyed some good coffee as well.

Something different and delicious! - Edit
The menu is quite different from the other vegan food on offer in the area and everything we had was great. Would recommend the smoothies, the Varuna savoury bowl and the peanut zoodles. They also have a small dessert counter and sell vegan products. We’ve already decided to return to try the breakfast menu.

Was really hoping for this place to be a good one since it’s the only 100% vegan restaurant but was really disappointed. Overpriced and bland food.

¡Excelente! - Edit
Close to my hotel and the Manuel Antonio National Park. Well worth a visit. The patacones tostones with guacamole and mashed beans were the best made I ever had, and the spaghetti bolognese el dente and tasty. I also enjoyed the cucumber boats with hummus, and the arugula, avocado, pesto noodles.
Read morePros: Great food., Friendly and fast service., Great ambiance.
Cons: Too dark for photos and my flash didn't work., With I ordered more., That I have to return to CR to enjoy it again.

Overpriced for what’s offered - Edit
I wish I could give this vegan restaurant a five star rating, but unfortunately we were not impressed by the quality or quantity of the food for the price tag. We were going by the menu prices on HappyCow, but they have increased their prices since. Yes, this is an expensive area, but for comparison we went to another restaurant, which was not fully vegan, with a much better selection, service, quality of food and quantity for the price. Without going into much detail, if you would like a good colon cleanse, this is your best bet.

Pura Vida - Edit
Happy to support the only fully plant-based restaurant in the area. They’ve been in business for almost 2 years now.
Read moreI had a hard time deciding what to order as there were so many tasty looking options. Breakfast was served well into the afternoon on Sunday.
Ordered the name-sake Varuna bowl, mint lemonade, and the raw cheesecake (cacao ginger) Everything was delicious!
All seating was open air. There were two small electric fans.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I was impressed by the recycled materials and metal straws offered as well.
Will visit again before I leave! #Veganuary
Pros: 100% vegan, Eco-conscious , Fresh and healthy ingredients
