8 Vegan Restaurants in Buenos Aires

Gourmet, informal options and even cafeterias. Buenos Aires is as versatile as it is delicious. Below, a complete guide to 100% vegan menu-based alternatives:

1) Sacro

Based on plants and fungi, its aesthetic is like no other. This is a restaurant that makes you fall in love with the concept of veganism in a split second. You will find gastronomic quality, enjoyment and international influence all throughout its menu. Its philosophy is based on accompanying and intensifying the original flavor of the ingredients with minimally invasive processes that reduce the impact of the kitchen and highlight natural flavors and textures.

You want to know about the unbeatable classics? They are the activated charcoal empanada, masala avocado, Asian spaghetti and lime pie avocado. Although of course, letting yourself be surprised by the seasonal menu that brings the freshest flavors of the season to the forefront is key.

2)  Bioma Café

Full vegan specialty cafeteria. The first in the capital. Grains brought from regions such as Guatemala. Home-made vegetable milks that are prepared every morning without preservatives and, of course, they are supernatural. Almonds, cashew, oatmeal. Everyone chooses their own adventure. One of their hits is the vegan version of the classic Bruce cake (icon of the movie Matilda). And the seduction continues with sweet cakes, bakery and delicious sandwiches served on unique tableware. 

3) Amador

Neo vegan cantina. What do we mean? It has all the spices of the classic Argentine bodegón: hearty dishes and the flavor of homemade meals, but this time with a twist that easily introduces even the most skeptical into the plant-based world.

Anyone would say that the vegan touch is imperceptible. Because the creamy textures and flavors are extremely similar to those we are already used to. What do we recommend? Mushrooms in papillote, crispy rice and all their pasta. Another jewel of the house is the creamy chocolate with condensed coconut milk and salt. 

4) Mudrá

If you wanted a culinary genius to lead your plant-based proposal, you would call Matthew Kenney. He is the author of 12 cookbooks and the CEO of Matthew Kenney Cuisine, an organization that operates in 27 subsidiaries around the world. And guess who designed this invitation to the most aesthetic vegan universe in Buenos Aires? Clue: the international hero of the plant-based world himself.

From simple dishes like burgers and pizzas, to specialty pastries, sushi, and super gourmet dishes with superfoods. An ode to veganism excellently executed.

5) Casa Nueza

Two friends (and sisters) lead this 100% plant-based project especially aimed at the sweet tooth target audience. They have a lifestyle conscious concept. Products are made with organic and top quality raw materials. A vegan, healthy and delicious market. And a coffee proposal at the same level. You want to know something funny? If you wish to sweeten your coffee, they offer dates. They even make their own spreadable cheeses. And in addition to the already wonderful offer, there is a menu full of gluten-free ingredients. Croissants and medialunas; hazelnut rolls with dark chocolate and cinnamon; palm kernels, puddings and cookies. Everyone can eat at Casa Nueza. In fact, if you're more of a picnic and brunch person, don’t panic, it’s organic! Super nutritious lunches, salads, sliced and fried plantains and bowls are some of the incredibly delicious culinary invitations that you can taste.

6) Raíz

A journey through different cultures to enjoy their flavors and textures. Home-made food and commitment to local producers. Raíz, as its name suggests –Root–, honors the purest, the origins and the quality. How is the menu? Diverse, without a doubt. Pizza, sushi, ceviche, arancinis, soups, causas, baos, risottos, ramen, moussaka. There is no gastronomic culture that is not represented. And the plaos? A feast on the palate of the lucky one who chooses to taste them. 

7) Let it V

Inclusive, creative and irresistible food. Formats for all circumstances: a quick sandwich to keep going or a dinner with friends are on an equal footing. What is their wish? That you eat well and feel good, wherever you are. In mother nature we trust, they say. And yes, because Mother Nature gives an endless number of textures and bites that transform anyone. A delicious menu that fuses Japanese culture without forgetting Mexican culture. That brings the sweet to the front, without forgetting the savory. Burritos, handrolls, sushi, focaccias, pastas, natural juices, coffee and first-class pastries are some of its jewels.  

8) Vegan Fox

This is the future of fast food. A proposal of 11 delicious 100% plant-based burgers. They define themselves as addictive and delicious. We will have to try and see, of course. Meat, cheddar, nuggets, everything has its animal-free alternative. And of course, the premise of being very rich is fulfilled with honors. Burgers for all palates, even seducing fans of the yellow M.
