When I came across Newen Vegetariano I realized that the vegan and gluten free movement was now very established in Santiago! I obviously got excited and decided to have lunch there to try it out and let my celiac friends know if it was any good.
A little over a year old, Newen really blew me away with all of their amazing products as well as taste. Plus, contrary to popular belief, eating healthy isn't expensive here. In their hip, but small restaurant and all-natural store, they service beautifully decorated vegetarian and vegan dishes that don't hurt your wallet.
They also sell gluten-free desserts to go! With delicious cupcakes and cookies you can't go wrong. They bake everything in house -all natural and vegetarian. They even use quinoa flour for some of their cakes. I recommend trying their brownie (it's gooey and chocolatey and all-around, great!) Plus they have some awesome whole wheat veggie empanadas. I recommend their mushroom one.
They also sell organic and vegan products such as cereal, rice pasta, marmalades, mayo and tea.
I definitely recommend coming here for a light and healthy lunch or "once". read more
