Description:
If you're thinking vegetarian in San Salvador, think Kalpataru. For 22 years, this restaurant and holistic health center has lived up to its printed-on-the-menu mission statement to serve 100% vegetarian in a friendly environment. A few minutes from the city's main restaurant district, Kalpataru is worth the taxi ride for its large selection of $1.30 (65p) vegetarian pupusas and tasty but affordable lunch buffet. Kalpataru also offers vegetarian tamales, veggie soups, and veggie pizza. The casual, two-story restaurant includes a meditation center and library with books, CDs, and natural healing products. And Kalpataru is just a 5-minute walk from El Arbol de Dios, the gallery of El Salvador's national artist Fernando Llort, which means it's a great place to stop when you need a break from sightseeing.
