Govindas

At Govindas, the Hare Krishnas are leading La Revolución de la Cuchara—The Spoon Revolution. Introducing Arica to the vegetarian lifestyle, this simple, two-room diner serves up a delicious, Indian-style three-course lunch, including salad, soup and main course with a drink. The décor is understated, there's a terra cotta tile floor and faded-saffron and ochre-painted walls. The furnishings are creative recyclings of old phone cable spools turned into tables and chairs. Service is friendly and relaxed. Govindas also is a yoga ashram where the traveler can work out kinks and stress. Govindas devotees sell whole-grain bread along 21 de Mayo.
