El Buho Vegetariano - San Jose

Cosy space to try out some vegan dishes. Homemade ice cream is not the best but everything else was just fine!

Ate lunch here twice. Everything was good but not amazing. This is my experience in much of Costa Rica however... most vegetarian and vegan food here has the creativity and flavour profile of many vegetarian and vegan restaurants from 20 years ago in Europe/Canada/USA. The food had a home-cooked feel/taste which is always a plus. The place has a lovely feel and the staff is VERY friendly. They also have some nice looking baked goods although I did not try any.

They have great daily dishes, the bowls and desserts are really good. Service is ok, be sure to especify if you’re vegan some dishes have cheese.

I order delivery from El Buho all the time. They have great daily specials that never fail to be fantastic. The food is fresh, flavourful and portion sizes is excellent. I especially enjoy the soups and bowls. Highly recommended.

This is a small restaurant located very near the University of Costa Rica and right next to a yoga centre. Its original owner did a fantastic job decorating the place and painting it herself. The food is delicious and very creative, and there are plenty of vegan options. It used to be totally vegan, but after a friend asked for some nachos which seemed to be covered with cheese, not sure anymore. In any case, the desserts are totally vegan and after trying several vegetarian restaurants, I think they are the best vegan cakes, cookies and raw cheesecakes in Costa Rica. The owners are cool and friendly and the kitchen is very clean. The dish of the day is a good deal.
