Fantastic vegetarian food . I'm a meat eater but don't miss it when I eat here. I've been several times, the service and food exceptional. The sharing platter to start is amazing. Well worth the visit

Stephen Trimingham

Fabulous welcome, great choice of fine vegetarian and vegan food, and the proof is on the starter, main course and pudding . Hearty AND delicately flavoured food. A hard double act to pull off.

Raci Murphy

A place I will always return to - great food full of fabulous flavours and friendly staff ! Recommend it 100% (reluctantly as I want to be able to get a table on my return)!

Thomas Parisot

The chips , scotch eggs and hummus trio are amazingly feeding... and finely crafted at the same time. Plus the staff is very well aware of baby trolleys and travellers backpacks.

Adam QR

The food is just amazing. A great selection - we dine as a group with just one vegetarian and we all happy. Great lunch time options available.

Josh Montague

Really great food and service. If the weather's nice, sitting out in the alley way is a really pleasant break from the crowds in the area.

James Southorn

Afternoon tea is amazing. Freshly made scones are to die for and loved the tea selection (go for the teapigs liquorice and peppermint - trust me)

Sarah Brosnan

I didn't realise it was vegetarian when I came in, but the staff were really friendly and their recommendations were spot-on, especially the beetroot spaghetti .

My favorite vegetarian restaurant in Brighton! Excellent service & the tastiest food! I can't wait to go back!

An absolute gem for veggies and meat lovers alike. Flavourful surprising dishes, superb staff and a sticky toffee pudding to die for.

Amazing place. Everything tasted incredible. Gluten free and vegan beers !

Benjamin Hollway

My all time favourite vegetarian vegan Brighton restaurant . Sometimes seems a little poncy, but always extremely tasty.

Emma Ryan

Great for lunch but if you come on a Saturday, get here by about 12.30 if you don't want to wait for a table. Try the asparagus and egg yok starter.

John Hyde

The chocolate dessert is amazing and they helped me put a candle on it for my wife's birthday! Superb service, we will be back!

Ashley Dando

Beet salad with blue cheese was good. A few small tables outside to watch the world go by.

Kevin Schmidt

Amazing food. Recommend the portobello mushroom stuffed w feta . Also go for sticky toffee pudding . Great staff too.

Kate Flood

Vegetarian and Vegan restaturant that isn't at all uppity or pretentious . Not the cheapest but very reasonable for the quality of food and service, as well as a good selection of real ale ... and even

Mat Collis

Gluten-Free Brighton: Seasonal, and a bit priceier, but they always have really good gluten-free options.

Graeme Manuel

Fantastic vegan options , friendly service . Highly recommended.

Natasha Honeyman

Scones with jam and clotted cream are amazing!! Top marks!

Paul Hayes

Very tasty food, but expensive and small portions. Mezes are false economy, and we were charged a further £2 for more pitta to go with dips . Prepare to spend.

Caitlin Evans

All my meat eater friends proper loved it here, IT IS PROPER BUFF TING!!!!!

Lianne

Best meal I've had in a while - try the amazing mixed dips to start with, and the rosti was fab too.

Vince Romagnuolo

Best food I've ever tasted, and I've been a veggie for 25 years !

Simply amazing with quite big portions ! The portobello mushroom caps stuffed with feta and sundried tomato was outstanding!

Figs , smoked riccota, basil , most amazing salat I've had this year

Hans Gerwitz

The halloumi burger is delightfully savory.

Lauren Angelkov Cummings

Great for a meal out with vegetarians

Try the tokyo ice tea , but hold the lemonade . Takes the cloying sweetness out, the midori is sweet enough! Delicious.

Joanna Stefano

Love eating here but only as a treat as it can be quite expensive

Justin H

Try the Portobello Mushroom main! So good.

Martin Kliehm

Nice child menu with complementary crayons, very friendly staff .

Ali M

Not a huge menu or everything is delicious

Michael

Terrific food but we brought our kids and the waiter didn't seem to understand what they were.

Dan Green

Only has booster seats for toddlers, but they do the job. Baby change is in the ladies'!

Kelly Cross

It's very gluten free friendly as well as being a vegetarian restaurant

Iva Tincheva

Very cute place, try scones & tea .

Joseph Hall

Fries are to die for

Olive Green

Sit down vegetarian/vegan. The salad I ordered was yummy, but didn’t live up to the hype of reviews.
