2015 haben wir YAY in Amsterdam eröffnet. Am Anfang war es ein Gesundheitscafé, umweltfreundliches Geschäft Yoga-Studio. Für ein paar Jahre lief es erfolgreich, aber mit einer langen und wilden Reise, YAY zog nach Kolumbien, um weiterhin die Leidenschaft für die inspirierende andere zu leben nachhaltiger. Unser Projekt umfasst Bio-Konstruktionen, die von Originalkulturen inspiriert sind, neben Bio-Gärten, essbaren Wald- und Heilgärten, die das weitgehend offene Restaurant nähren. Ein Land, dessen Design auf den Prinzipien der Permakultur basiert, wo Sie natürliche Pools finden und Sie in den fließenden Gewässern des Flusses Guachaca baden können. In YAY finden Sie Gelassenheit und genießen Sie die Freuden von Yoga, Meditation, Therapien und Massagen. Während Sie in den Gärten und Dschungel spazieren, können Sie sich selbst erden und mit der Natur verbinden. Es gibt auch viele Aktivitäten, um die Gegend zu erkunden, wie Trekking zur Lost City, im Tayrona Park und zu anderen schönen Reisezielen, lässig am Fluss entlang, Tagesausflüge zu exotischen Orten und entspannte Spaziergänge entlang. En 2015 abrimos YAY en Amsterdam. Al principio, era una cafetería saludable, tienda ecológica y estudio de yoga. Durante un par de años funcionó con éxito, pero tras un viaje largo y salvaje, YAY se mudó a Colombia para continuar compartiendo la pasión por inspirar a otros a vivir de manera más sostenible. Ahora nuestro proyecto inkluye bioconstrucciones inspiradas en culturas ancestrales junto con huertos orgánicos, bosques cometibles y jardines medicales que nutren el restaurante en gran medida. Nuestra finca, cuyo diseño se basa en los principios de la Permacultura, donde encuentras piscinas naturales y puedes bañarte en las aguas del río Guachaca. En YAY, puedes descubrir la serenidad y disfrutar de los placeres del Yoga, Meditación, Terapias y Masajes. Mientras caminas por los jardines y la jungla, puedes conectarte con la naturaleza. También hay muchas actividades para explorar la zona, como el trekking a la Ciudad Perdida o al Parque Tayrona y otros destinos hermosos, como niederer en Tubing río abajo, salir de excursión de un día a lugares exóticos y paseos relajados.

If you can afford it, pamper yourself and come to this little paradise. Even if you do not stay, the day pass (yoga, lunch, use of facilities) is worth it. All dishes were so creative combined, the flavors amazing, the portions very fill, but still healthy whole food. A tiny comment could be that many of the dishes have this sweet and hearty combination (e.g. Hibiscus reduction on pizza), which I personally love, but it was sometimes dominant a little. All in all, this place will make you feel very good and relaxed. They really keep all promises that make many places. They note that there is actually a good thought through sustainable concept behind the entire structure.

This place would receive 5 if it weren’t for the misleading ad. The menu is NOT fully plant-based as advertised on their website. The first thing I ordered when I got there were the empanadas. Had I not double-checked that they were vegan, I would not have known that they contained dairy cheese. Only then was I told that the restaurant offered soy cheese or dairy cheese as an option for anyone who’d ask. The empanadas, however, didn’t not come with that option and there was nothing indicated on the menu that it was NOT vegan. Not cool. eggs also seem to be an option at breakfast. That same week, fish was on the menu. I am not sure if this had anything to do with the fact that it was christmas week for anyone who celebrated, but the kitchen was definitely NOT fully plant-based, (again, as advertised) granted 90 of the menu was.
