"This place is an absolute hidden gem! It's a vibe... The calm music, great vegetarian food (vegan options), great prices and super unpretentious. Easily my favorite place to go for a meal in Medellin. The Baos actually taste like Asia!"

"If Mati were a sit-down restaurant in Florenza it’d be one of the most popular vegetarian menu del dia places in town. Especially at its unbeatable 10,000 COP price point. But it’s not. It’s on the second floor of a noisy foodcourt in Monterrey Mall. Instead of your food magically materializing from the back kitchen in the hands of a server, you see the lady slop it onto your plate from the buffet in front of you and have to carry it on a tray to your table yourself. This detracts from the magic, but it shouldn’t detract from the taste. The food is tasty, varied, sizable, and a rare opportunity to taste some Asian flavours. I wouldn’t go there every day but I’ll definitely go back. Final Score: 8.5 (9 Value, 8 Quality) [For 30+ more of the best menu del dias in Medellin, google "best medellin lunch specials" and check out our in-depth guide.]"
