Cafe Hood - Banos

This was my first dinner in Ecuador, and I was pleased to find a restaurant with vegan options. The menu had purple and green stars, indicating which dishes could be made vegan. Unfortunately, this was not the case for most of the items. When we inquired about vegan options, the service was a bit clumsy. The overall experience was average, but we were thankful to have found a place with vegan choices.

Amazing vegan options and a large selection of food

I ordered the Buddha bowl and they were accommodate it to be vegan! It doesn't explicitly say that they can do that on the menu, but the waitress offered to make it vegan for me. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. Just wish there were more vegan options and clearly marked on the menu.

We ordered the soup of the day which was a very big portion and super tasty, well worth the 2.50$. Also the vegan tacos and enchiladas were amazing as well! Location was wrong but hope it's fixed now it should be close to the Termas de las Virgen.

I was impressed by how the menu clearly labeled which dishes could be made vegan, which is uncommon in Ecuador. The staff was knowledgeable about vegan options and provided great service. I enjoyed the $7 burrito, which was a good size and delicious.
