Lovers of natural, healthy, and plant-based cooking find a true refuge in the Hierbabuena Restaurant and Hierbabuena Vegan restaurants in San Telmo: the first is dedicated to organic cooking; and the second is a vegan street food. In both, the artisan pastry stands out, based on organic flour and sugar, without preservatives or additives. From the restaurant, we suggest the oatmeal alfajor with a dulce de leche cream, espresso coffee and chocolate; and their homemade brownies, very moist and intense flavor, made with pure chocolate, dark cocoa and toasted nuts. Meanwhile, in fast food, simple or stuffed donuts with original toppings (such as one with coconut and matcha) are recommended; waffles with chocolate mousse, berries and granola; and their artisanal ice creams, such as the avocado with matcha and lime or the activated coconut charcoal with glazed strawberries.
