Just steps from Calle Larios is Byoko Strachan: a haven for those who want to eat consciously, organically and with love. Think: fresh slow juices, artisanal toast with local vegetables, colorful bowls and coffee with a story. This is not a quick bite, but a place where you slow down - though sometimes that can happen unintentionally due to the wait times.

What you get in return? Honest flavors, seasonal produce from farmers around the corner (literally, because everything is km 0) and a menu that entices vegans and lovers of buttercream alike. Byoko is not perfect, but it is sincere. And in an age of takeout coffee and plastic trays, that may be the biggest compliment.
