Hotel boutique y restaurante vegetal Casa Lėlytė

I stumbled across Casa Lelyte as it was recommended by NY Times' "36 hours in Bogota" piece. Was pleased at the inexpensive price and booked somewhat last minute for its central location without researching the area a ton. "Zona G" turned out to be quite a posh neighborhood, felt extremely safe, just a short walk away from Bogota's best restaurants and night life. Highly recommend "El Chato" a few blocks away for one of the top 3 meals I've ever had. ||Being from the US, I speak basic Spanish and was able to easily communicate with staff over booking.com and at check-in. I much preferred the opportunity to use my Spanish than a more internationally-catering hotel that would typically use English throughout. I felt immersed in the culture and warmth of the Colmbian people immediately, despite being in such a large city.||There were multiple locks on the doors and while no staff on site overnight, I didn't have any safety concerns (felt more like an Air BnB than a hotel at times, so nice and quiet). I found the vibe of the hotel to be exactly what I prefer when traveling - small, local, with much attention to design and experience. The gorgeously remodeled bathroom with luxury toiletries did not disappoint. Instagram-worthy midcentury modern furniture was present in every room. Freshest of the fresh sheets and towels were provided and refreshed. ||The breakfast was both simple and delicious - it was made to order, served in the atrium filled with plants and light. It included fruit, juices, cappuccino, and the most delicious fresh eggs and buttered toast! Even though I'm half a world away, I can't wait to return.

I only went to the vegan restaurant. The glazed eggplant was perfect. The texture, taste and presentation were amazing. The dona madona dessert was excellent. Again, different textures within the plate and it was tasty and balanced. The pizza was very good compared to other pizzas. However, other options within the restaurant could be better. As a suggestion, the dough could be crispier, but overall the taste was complex in a good way. Service and atmosphere were great.

My wife is Vegan and gluten free. She found this place. And I am soooo happy she did. The food was amazing! They really have something special going on here. This is a hidden gem. I'm not vegan but this is one of the most delicious meals I've had in a long time. They are very original with the recipes, not trying to replace one existing dish with a vegan version. Each plate is a statement, and the ingredients they use are so unique and well balanced. The staff was very friendly, we have a free desert they were tasting and a serenata :). The restaurant itself is beautiful, cozy, and intimate, I didn't try the cocktails but they really look great! I'm sure they are delicious. (We did not stay in the hotel)

Most amazing food I’ve ever had. If you ever have the chance to go here - do it!! 100% vegan and made with so much love.

We had a fantastic 4-night stay at Casa Lelyte and found the restaurant to be excellent. Everyone who works here is incredibly kind, attentive, and was patient with our bad Spanish. Our room had everything we needed and we appreciated daily cleanings. Breakfast every day was phenomenal--the coffee, juice, and eggs were all fresh and delicious and we loved seeing Carmen every morning. Dinner at the restaurant was also one of our favorite meals in Bogota. The location is very central and walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Casa lelyte offers great vegetarian and vegan food. Their whole menu is vegetarian and very diverse, original and delicious. The food is high quality and always served with care. They also have a great drink selection. Great service too. I recommend this place for a great vegetarian meal.

Pretty cute plant-based spot for apps, drinks or dinner. I’m not sure their use of spices really did it for me on the item I ordered, but I appreciate that they provided a complimentary snack. My server was also friendly and helpful.

An excellent place to have vegetarian food. Our meal was delicious, with both appetizers and entrees. I got the veggie burger. Also, the cocktails were good. Only downside: the service was a little bit slow
