My husband and I came here only a few times because we lived in La Florida (on the other side of…read morethe city), not because of the food or service. This little eatery has a funky, friendly, and peaceful vibe, and it is relatively cheap! The only thing is, each time we went there, they were already out of the daily specials which sounded great. But I understand because Santiago is simply not a vegan city. It's getting there, though! We will definitely eat there when we visit my in-laws in STG next time! I'll also recommend it to my fellow vegan travelers heading to Chile.

Easily my new favorite restaurant... on the planet. Incredible staff, incredible food. Will…read moredefinitely be coming back the next time I'm in Chile! Also worth noting, a few blocks away (also on Ricardo Cummings) is an 100% vegan shop, called Emporio Vegetal, which is incredible. Definitely would recommend stopping here for dessert after having a delicious meal at Govinda's!

I'd say Vegan Dealer was the best vegan meal we had in Santiago during our visit! There were a…read morecouple bumps in the road, but there is no doubt about the food quality and dedication here. I had the Big Boy sandwich and it was definitely big! The barbecue sauce, cheese and caramelized onions were delicious on top of the crispy vegan bacon and seitan. My girlfriend got the Super Completo, which definitely satisfied since it was piled high with palta, tomato, cheese and vegan mayo! A great representation of the Chilean classic, and the frank itself was very good flavor-wise. The french fries that came with our dishes were well seasoned and fried, but they weren't piping hot like they should have been - they definitely sat for a bit before they got to our table. Draft beers were great and they had plenty of condiments available for dressing up your fries or sandwich. The only other hiccup was the wait time - took a solid 45 mins or so to get our food, probably because we ordered from the regular menu and not the daily lunch menu. Still, the atmosphere is really cool and they have a few arcade games up front to keep you entertained if you're antsy. Will definitely return and recommend Vegan Dealer to anyone looking for a satisfying vegan meal in Santi!

Nuestra cocina se basa en el respeto, conciencia y amor. Razones de sobra para entregar en cada porción un poco de lo mejor de lo nuestro. Un vegano es un sujeto que no ingiere productos alimenticios de origen animal. Los veganos no comen carne de ningún tipo (de cerdo, vaca, cordero, pescado, pollo, etc.) pero, a diferencia de los vegetarianos, tampoco consumen huevos, lácteos ni miel.

Delicious and very affordable! I wanted to find a vegan version of "classic Chilean food" and I…read moredefinitely think I found it. I would not go for anything with a Chilean salad because that basically means onions and tomatoes, but that's just Chilean food, not the restaurant, and I'm big on lots of veggies, especially in a salad. The food is also very savory, just a heads up to anyone with strong opinions on salt. I was also happy I got to try the classic Terremoto, but veganified with pineapple sorbet-style ice cream instead of cream-based. I took my sister here as well, not a vegan at all, and she also really enjoyed her food. She could only finish half of it, so it was quite filling. Highly recommended!

This is a great vegan and veggie place that has tasty food at an even better price! What's more,…read morethey have a variety of options every day and they change it up - so you won't get bored (contrary to popular belief, there is a ton of stuff you can make that is vegetarian or vegan). They have daily lunch specials that range from 2mil to 3.4mil it includes a salad and drink as well as their tasty bread and pebre! I recommend, if you they are serving it that day, to try their charquikan or their vegan pastel de choclo - yum! (just make sure you come before 3pm otherwise there won't be a big selection). For those vegetarians that have never tried cazuela before, now you can indulge in this typical Chilean dish because Soju offers a veggie version! They also make daily vegan cakes. I recommend their tiramisu or their chocolate mousse cake - both cost $1.500 a slice! If you come after the lunch rush, they have veggie burgers and a great happy hour to accompany them! Remember to get there before 11pm as that is when the kitchen closes. Soju Comida Vegetariana has tasty food, fresh ingredients and great service! Who said healthy food needs to be expensive?

This is a great restaurant in a fun part of Santiago…read more I have been enjoying pisco cocktails throughout Chile, and the cocktails here were fantastic. Over a couple of visits I was able to try: La Enjundia De Diablo, Cotrabando, Temporada, and Pisco is in the air. Truthfully the first two were preferred, more spicy than sweet. The second two were like smoothies with alcohol-also delicious, just hot differently. They were well presented and fabulous. For meals we had the steak and chimichurri, good if you love a big steak- a little too much for us. The beef and lentils were delicious and perfect for a cold winter evening. The next meals we tried were the cuttlefish croquettes which were very good, like a Japanese octopus ball. Great sauces. Then the fish of the day-Hake- with whipped potatoes(I think) and capers with veggies-outstanding. We also had a very good, filling, fish sandwich. I liked the sweet potatoes, a unique touch. The service was attentive without overdoing it. The first night when we came in everyone said hello, which made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was fun, hipster, and inviting. So glad our hotel was nearby, couldn't have asked for a better restaurant to be near.

This is the perfect store to pick up an organic or veggie treat…read more They have everything any vegan, vegetarian or just plain health nut can need. When my mom was visiting, I wanted to make sure I had everything for her to make her feel at home so I went to Planta Maestra and picked up her favorite brand of Almond milk and although it was a bit more expensive than in the states (it cost 4 mil) I was very happy to know I had the option of getting it here. Planta Maestra has a couple of other stores in Santiago, but I have seen this one in Bellas Artes, although smaller, has better prices (however, in general, the majority of what they sell is on the expensive side). They also have dried cranberries that are sugar and preservative free! The products they sell are from the same well-known organic and vegan brands you can find in the states. Planta Maestra also sells beauty products and stuff to make baby food! If you are looking for essential oils to make your own lotions or shampoos you can find them here - including tea tree oil. If you need any types of teas, yogurt, coconut water, almond flour etc they have it. They also sell tasty desserts and cookies that are vegan and gluten free! Everything here is delicious. They also have a frozen section with tofu and other snacks. Overall, a small organic and vegan shop to get even the most difficult to find products to make a healthy lifestyle easy in this polluted city.

My favorite coffee place in Santiago. Small, cozy, a truly beautifully designed place…read more COFFEE The coffee here is really good, likely thanks to a combination of skill, good coffee beans, and la Marzocco coffee machine. The cappuccino has the right balance of coffee and milk. AMBIENT The place is small, with just six stools, but it's very well curated with wood all around and touches of lime green. Highly advised.

Honestly I've only had a coffee and a muffin that they guy thinks is gluten free (almond flour he…read morethinks). I hope he's right. If he is, the muffin was spectacular for gluten free- it was one of those small ones with raspberries inside. The coffee was great. It was good for anywhere, but very good for this city. I have been putting sugar in my coffee in Santiago because I haven't found it good. This is only the second latte or cafe con leche that I've enjoyed without needing sugar in this city: which means LOVELY!
