Restaurante Vegetariano El Puente

This is a good place to eat when you're on a budget. It's popular with locals. There is a set menu for lunch for nine or 11 soles, depending on whether you want dessert. The food is okay, with some unusual dishes and not noticeably Chinese. It's good and fast.

It was so nice to find this place that sold something different than rice and salad for vegans! I had the set menu consisting of a delicious soup, then a selection of 4 dishes from what was prepared. I told the girl behind the counter I was vegan and she filled my dish very friendly with beautiful vegetable dishes and rice. I was very happy. It is simple, but very tasty and cheap also. Many restaurants near the main square are very expensive and do not have the options that make this little jewel! Please support this beautiful small facility.

I was surprised that there were several vegetarians lunch eateries in Arequipa. El Puente is one of my favorite because of its generous portions and delicious segundos . A set lunch is only S/9 soles, and you can choose 4 side dishes from 7-8 different options. The lady in charge is always smiling and helped me decide with my poor Spanish. I went there twice during my stay and was glad that they have different dishes each day.

Solid vegetarian fare at an incredibly good price (just 9 soles for lunch). Set menu allows you to choose four main dishes from the buffet plus salad, a drink and dessert (extra 2 soles) or yogurt (extra 3 soles). We have eated here twice and enjoyed all of the food.

Vegetarian restaurant open only for the lunch with buffet (no breakfast or dinner) 9 soles: drink, small salad, soup, mix of 4 lunch to choose between 10. With a dessert for 11 soles. No ambiance or bar or... It’s just for a quick lunch. The food varies from day to day, and is very good for the price.
