La Cuisine offers healthy vegan and vegetarian dining options
Are you looking for healthy food in Cozumel that is vegan or vegetarian? Meet Gabriela Cámara Sanchez, nutritionist and owner of a health food restaurant called La Cuisine, in Cozumel.
Is it difficult to talk about nutrition and healthy food in Cozumel?
It is a challenge. People has forgotten why we eat. We do it to feed our body, to give it what it needs as vitamins, minerals, proteins and not just to fill our stomach. Quintana Roo has the record of obesity in Mexico. In 2007 I started to consult as nutritionist and naturopath, but the problem was to find the products for my clients. I opened my own small salad bar with products to take away, trying to answer the needs of my clients. In 2010, La Cuisine was born. It is now a restaurant and a boutique.
Is La Cuisine the first place in Cozumel where you find real Juice Therapy?
Yes. We are very proud of our large list of Juice Therapy products. We are using cold pressed juice. It means that your juice is alive and it will furnish your body with the perfect balance of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, carbohydrates, antioxidants and enzymes. La Cuisine is also a place to learn. I organize every month a session of detox, juice therapy, and I teach a vegan cooking course.
We offer a different kind of smoothie with vegan milk and fresh, natural water. We have a small boutique with a large choice of superfood and natural sugar like stevia, agave, coconuts sugar, etc.
What about the food?
We offer a different, well-balanced, daily menu, always with the three classic options chicken, vegetarian and vegan. Fish is always local and fresh from the same morning. We also offer sandwiches and salads, wraps, bagels. Everything is fresh and can be taken on the place or to go. Our main ingredient is love. We want to give the best balance to your body. We also offer you the best water to drink. We are using a nikken filter to produce alkaline water in La Cuisine.
Easy to find, La Cuisine is 10 minutes away by walking from the ferry, 5th a
Avenue with Andres Quintana Roo, next to Ego gym. Open from Monday to Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
