The Green Patio, Cusco

The Green Patio is a unique restaurant where the entire menu is devoted to vegans. The owners want to change the concept of vegan food. They want to popularise vegan food as a delicious culinary experience. From burgers, spaghetti, smoothies, waffles and cakes to their bread, each item is 100 percent vegan and non-GMO (genetically modified). For the convenience of customers, gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu.

The atmosphere is friendly and nice and you get a chance to meet other travellers here. Having food that is beneficial for your body does make you indulge a bit more, but remember that their servings are generous. Go when you are really hungry, and you will come out absolutely full but completely guilt free. Fresh ingredients are combined in exclusive recipes to churn out some exceptional food. There are three different types of salsa. Their chocolate cake cannot be missed—it is heavenly.

The food is light and a very pleasant change from the usual heavy food dished out by most restaurants in Peru.
