Once:Once
Vegan Restaurant-Café-Wine Bar
Our vegan temple was funded in 2019 by a woman entrepreneur who decided to transform a small garage from a house in Antigua into a restaurant that sat no more than 12 people. With the help of one cook, they created a flavorful and plant based menu, which included recipes that still remain best sellers today. The innovative Asian and Mexican fusions with a vegan twist became their signature in Antigua’s gastronomy.
The pandemic was a transformative time for the restaurant and luckily, helped it expand. The reopening happened back in October 2020 and now, the boho chic garden sits 40 people. Their style is more elevated and keeps the same roots: plant-based food made from scratch, with natural and locally grown ingredients. Here you will find the most exquisite sauces, dressings and creams that accompany the perfectly seasoned veggies, pastas and plant-based proteins. In their specialties you will also find their natural beverages, made with tea and fresh fruits, and botanical mixology, created with natural extracts and herb tinctures, all of them in a delicate and unique presentation.
This project started out and remains vegan activism. One of their missions is to get rid of the stigma that many consumers have, specially in Guatemala. Vegan food is not only eating salads and small portions of food lacking flavor. In Once Once, you’ll leave with a full and happy stomach, with the satisfaction of taking part by helping the environment and reducing animal consumption.
