“La Semilla” - Organic Coffee - Desserts - Restaurant Food — Restaurant in Tambopata

People visit this place for the vegetarian options. I tried this place multiple times, and finally, the chicken sandwich was the one thing that was good! It may have been the veggie shortage, but the wrap I had barely had any veggies in it. The Caesar salad is not a Caesar salad because of the absence of the main ingredient: Caesar dressing.

They also have very healthy salad options and delicious tartes as dessert. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, as if just made. They use local ingredients when possible and I think you can taste it. We also shared a strawberry daiquiri and enjoyed the magnificent view of the Plaza del Armas. Great way to see the sun go down.

The food was really great, nice to have a 'green meal' after all the meat dishes that you usually get in Peru. Service was bad tho, once the waitress had brought our food, we never saw a waiter again. Had to go down to ask for the menu again for our dessert, waited for 10 minutes before i went down again and order our dessert. These were 2 frappes and a piece of lemon pie (already prepared on the counter). Took 25 minutes, although there was only one other guest (who didn't order anything). When another waitress brought us our frappes, she first went to the table with the guy sitting alone (with 2 frappes as an order) 😅 the frappes were also 90% mixed ice cubes with barely...
