It is rare to find vegetarian or vegan Peruvian food so I was really excited to find that El Fogon had a separate vegetarian menu. Most items on it can be made vegan by request by omitting eggs but the potato salad is made with mayo and the creamy cheese dip (both in the trio appetizer) is obviously not vegan.
The food was really tasty and they had this great hot sauce that I wish I had asked about. Three of us ordered from the vegetarian menu:
- Sierra y selva appetizer trio (potato salad and dip were not vegan)
- Tacu tacu vegetariano (without egg)
- Taco saltado
- Saltado vegetariano
Everything was seasoned well, but my favourite was definitely the yucca fries!
Staff were friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back!
