Amazing food, we met the owner and she shared how much research she put into veganism so all the food is incredible
Food and service is great!
I had the Vietnamese Fresh Summer Rolls, hands down the best I’ve ever had because they came with two flavorful sauces, encrusted in sesame seeds, and filled to the brim with fresh veggies. LOVE the vibrant menu offerings and the stylish space, and look forward to coming back to try more items. You can tell this place is quality, VERY reasonable prices. Great location, next to Starbucks.
We wanted a nice, fresh vegan dinner. We found Salvei on google and we got more than we bargained for! The place is small and quaint, with inside sitting (with an AC) and some outside sitting as well. The service was friendly and accommodating. We ordered 3 dishes to share between the two of us, and two smoothies. The food was absolutely delicious! And ample in size. We actually couldn’t finish the salad so we took it to our Airbnb and had it the following morning. The smoothies too were great and felt healthy and energizing. Since we’re staying a couple more weeks in Playa Del Carmen, we know we’re going to be back! There’s a lot on the menu we’d like to try.nHighly recommended ❤️
Thanks to Rocio & her team for the wonderful experience. Our baby was so amused and we appreciate very much your kindness ! The food was awesome. Try out the vegan burger. And the carrot cake ! Delicious. See you again. Besos
Absolutely! Here's a warm, polished food review you can use for Google, TripAdvisor, or even social media:nn A Hidden Vegan Gem in Playa del Carmen – Salvei nnIf you're in Playa del Carmen and looking for a cozy, flavorful, and completely vegan experience, you have to visit Salvei. This place seriously won our hearts. We tried several dishes and were impressed by every single one. The ramen with coconut milk was creamy, comforting, and full of depth — definitely not your average bowl of noodles. The tacos were a standout too, bursting with flavor and that perfect balance. The pasta a la bolognese was hearty and satisfying — you honestly wouldn’t believe it’s plant-based. We also had a tostada and a fresh salad, both super tasty and well-seasoned. To drink, the lemon water with mint was so refreshing and vibrant — the perfect pairing for a warm day. And then… dessert. The carrot cake is absolutely divine. It’s moist, spiced just right, and loaded with pecans. The topping — a smooth, sweet frosting — ties everything together. It’s honestly one of the best carrot cakes we’ve ever had, vegan or not. But what made the experience even better was the service. Rocío, who took care of us, was incredibly friendly, warm, and attentive. She made us feel truly welcome and added a personal touch that made the meal even more memorable. The space is calm and inviting, with a wide variety of options on the menu — something for every craving. Whether you're vegan or just curious, Salvei is a must-visit in Playa del Carmen.nnHighly, highly recommended!
I visited this place expecially for vegan cuisine. The food and mojitos are delicious, and the restaurant is really chic and cozy. Unfortunately, the music from the pub across the street is too loud. Very special thanks to Rocia from the staff!! A really kind and helpfull person. We will visit the Salvei again of course!!
100% vegan. Rocío served us, super friendly and everything was fast and delicious. They have little tables outside, they sell cute drinks and they have promos. 15 out of 10.
We’ve eaten inside this place before and it was delicious! Today however, we placed an order for delivery, it took almost an hour to arrive (which is uncommon in playa) and when it did, they had forgotten the sauce for the Vietnamese rolls, AND to top it off the rolls were torn. I sent a message to inform them to which I never received a reply.nWe will never order from here again.
The food is spectacular, and the attention of the Argentinian guys is excellent!nnThe best vegan spot in Playa del Carmen!
Very good vegan carrot cake.
An incredible place, everything fresh and Rocío's attention was spectacular! Highly recommended
One of the few vegan places that has EVERYTHING! I had a delicious ramen with a delicious Salvei lemonade. The service was incredible from Rocio, who really made me feel pampered. I loved it. I will definitely return when I return to Playa del Carmen.
Everything about Salvei is so good!nThe service, the atmosphere, the food of coursennYou can tell the recipes were crafted with LovennWe’ve had: the Vietnamese rolls, the pad Thai, the pizzerola, the burger, the creamy pasta, and the Thai coco ramennnAll dishes we’ve come back For!
Excellent food and service
The best nachos I've ever had!! Super nice service, we wanted to order Mole and were given a small sample portion to see if we liked it...unbelievable!
Warm friendly staff! Very helpful & attentive (asked how hungry I was & made thoughtful suggestions :)nI ended up having the satay ramen soup & the flavour was amazing!! Big hearty bowl, loaded with perfectly cooked mushrooms & tofu. The menu here looks so good, I will be back to try more. Highly recommend!
The food was amazing and the whole atmosphere was great. Portions were generous while still staying reasonable. I’m a tourist at Playa de Carmen so there was some language barrier but our waitress, Rosie, was super nice, friendly, and bubbly!
Not only the food is amazing but Rosie made our experience exceptional. Everything was fresh and tasty. This place is very affordable for the quality they serve.
Vegan menu from composed of best practices of the world. Very nice service and central location.
Delicious vegan Asian food,nThe Pad Thai is highly recommended.
Best vegan tartar and sushi, havent tried the rest yet but im sure its as delicious
Loved this place!! Amazing food and variety, and their vegan carrot cake was to die for!
The Best Restaurant in Playa DEL Carmen #Loveit
Umm, mouthwatering good!!! Service was amazing as well; we didn’t get our server’s name but he was super friendly and had great food recommendations. We will definitely be returning before we end our tripn♥️ I’m sad that this isn’t in Canada!
Cleanliness, delicious, polite, well-stocked dishes, wonderful falafels, beetroot burger with potatoes, the best freshly made lemonade, very good carrot cake and vegan meal. We had a great time and left with a satisfied stomach. We'll be back soon.
Everything is delicious and flavorful. I loved champignon mushroom soup
We came to Mexico for a 1 week holiday, there are plenty of vegan places to eat, yet we came here 3 times in that week! Food was incredible, the Mole is one of the best things we have ever eaten! Servers were very friendly and spoke good English. Would have loved to have stayed in Mexico for longer to work through the rest of the menu! Highly recommend!
Very tasty vegan food right on 5th AvenidanNice servicenCard payment possible
Outstanding, we have been there twice. First night here, we arrived late, almost at their closing hour and they were so kind to stay open and feed us after a long day of travel. Many thanks
Very good food, nice staff & clean toilet ☺️
This place completely changed my perception of vegan sushi! The flavors were innovative, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Vegan carrot cake is a dream come true! It’s perfectly moist, packed with warm spices, and the shredded carrot gives it the ideal texture. The cream cheese frosting is rich, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet—hard to believe it’s plant-based
This vegan restaurant is located on 5th ave. It's close to local clothing stores. We went multiple times because it's nice to be around like minded people.nThe food is delicious!nMake sure to sit outside, so much to see. ✌
Ordered the thai soup through UberEats and it was to die for!! It came super hot, very flavourful, and feels good that I am treating my body to a nutritious soup!!
We had an amazing dinner at Salvei! Highly recommended.nThe staff was very attentive, and the food was delicious, both the falafel and risotto.
Ate there 4 times last week! Great food, they handled my son's requests easily and the vibe is great.nHad some great convo and got some free merch ... I'm telling you, it's worth a meal...or 4 ;)n(Pad Thai and Nama Rolls ftw)
A truly creatively curated menu with dishes from all over the world! The food was truly delicious, and the service was fast and friendly. It's a bit nicer on the terrace than inside :)
