Vaikuntha

Salta


An adorable vegan joint with pastel brushed chairs, exposed brick walls, rattan lanterns, and classic rock on the sound system. It does a small menu of burgers (made from lentils and rice and piled with tomatoes, pickles and grilled onions), vegan pizzas, pastas and salads. There's a Thai stir-fry too.

More home-style than chef-driven, it's a welcome diversion for herbivores.
