Pura Vida

In Cleveland downtown for a conference, I searched for vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurant. This place had topnotch reviews from vegetarians and omnivores alike. So I headed there, a little apprehensive because sometimes vegetarians and vegans give good reviews just for the fact alone that there is something besides lettuce to eat. But the food was great, clearly labeled, the staff was super helpful and the cocktails delicious. A great place to come with a mixed crowd. And it is really affordable, I do not know why, at the moment, it has $$$. Had the Pho and the chocolate tart. Loved it.

The atmosphere was super nice, very chill. The staff were also very friendly. The service was timely as well even though it was busy when we were in there. Despite being busy, we didn't really notice it as it wasn't especially loud or anything, this was thanks to the atmosphere of the place, I think. The food could maybe be a bit better. I found some of it to be too salty and at other times to be to bland. The peanut soup was very good though. Portion sizes were good too.

First off the hostess Pamela is such a sweetheart- love her. This was our first time going here and I'm so glad she was the first part of our experience. Our server was Belle and she was also very kind and on point. For an appetizer we got the African Peanut stew and demolished it. It was sooooo good. I practically licked the bowl clean- this is a must get while you're here. Then for dinner we had the veggie big Mac which looked just like a big Mac but tasted 10x better. And my boyfriend had the samosa burrito he is Indian and grew up with Indian food and said that encapsulated the flavors excellently. We didn't even know they had a special tonight and it was BOGO vegetarian meals and we are vegetarians. Excellent spot to go for vegetarians. The lighting and the atmosphere were also on point. If I could give this an A++++ I would

I ordered the veggie big mac. The sauce was great, patties tasted bland like any other frozen veggie burger you can buy at the grocery store.
