Be Okay! Health Food Restaurant

Eating healthy is not out of fashion! Welcome to Be Okay!

We were used to think that every aliment capable of being defined as “tasty” is evil for our health and dramatically rich in calories! This way of thinking is over. Dining in Be Okay is not a choice only for Vegans, celiacs, or vegetarians, it is a valid option for customers who care about their health and are ready to try an overwhelming culinary moment, we know very well that eyes and taste buds deserve to be treated in a proper way.

Let us chat with the owner of Be Okay, Fiorella Migliore.

Why the choice of not having a website but this strong presence on social media?

Want me to tell the truth? We haven’t had the time to do a website since we opened! And it seems, people, and especially our public, are very familiarized with social networks in these days. We love being this close with them, and having them more as friends than costumers. I feel social networks make the connection closer and that’s what Be Okay’s supposed to have.

Why do you always use these words, happiness, health, love, power. What do they mean for you?

They are the north for us, as team. It’s how we want to see the world and the people. Healthy, happy, full of love and power. This is what surrounds me since I joined this lifestyle and is what I want to share with everybody.

When have you decided to go vegan?

I didn’t decide to be vegan. It just came to me as the light at the end of the tunnel. I arrived there step by step following a natural and self love path. I prefer not using tags, they seem to create a distance with others. But I totally agree and support vegan philosophy. I want to live healthy and many years, I love animals, I want to fight and to stop global warming (as the farmed animal industry is the biggest cause of it) and I don’t want bad karma: this is why I changed my lifestyle. I want to be coherent with my feelings of love and gratitude with the life I have been given, and with the earth that is our home, and what I eat, wear, do or say, is how I manifest it.

What is it so special about Paraguay and Asuncion?

The rhythm of life, the nice and warm people, the nature, the opportunities and the flavors of fruits and veggies. Haha!

How much Italian kitchen influenced this choice to open a restaurant and the menus?

Maybe not for the opening but yes we have many Italian options, my babbo pushed me to add Italian flavors and those are just amazing, and please tell me: who doesn’t LOVE Italian FOOD?!

How is the restaurant going so far?

Super good. People are happy to have this option and to start learning about this new- but- ancestral lifestyle. We keep changing many things as the time goes by and We enjoy creating and innovating.

Which satisfaction gave you until today?

Thinking globally, it feels like giving birth and having a baby. Be okay is actually our baby. And it’s satisfying watching him making his first steps. And growing so fast!

What was so difficult about managing a restaurant of this kind?

The day by day is the most difficult part. Offering a service is like riding a roller coaster! And even more when it is about food. It’s not like a shop that once it’s time, you just close and go home. But it’s good if you like adrenaline.
