Vegetarian Food in Medellín
To say I was blown away by the vegetarian scene in Colombia would be an understatement 🥹 Medellín had some incredible vegetarian and vegan food, and a few of my favorite finds were even worth driving outside the city for. These are places I personally visited and would recommend. I can’t wait to return and find even more!

Namaste
Another stop from my Medellín food adventures and a great addition for travelers looking for more meat-free options.
Medellín completely surprised me with its vegetarian and vegan food scene. Between fully vegan restaurants, vegetarian-friendly brunch spots, Colombian produce and beautiful places outside the city, eating vegetarian here was much easier than I expected. I already can’t wait to return and discover more. 🌱🇨🇴
