Karl Tarre

One of the best veggie/vegan restaurants I've been to ever! Wish london had this one! The smoked tofu and the vegan chocolate ice cream was grand! Fast and friendly service . Can't recommend enough!

Karolina Cermanová

Tried aubergine , chick pea and cashew koftas and left very pleased. Pleasantly surprised by hot fresh bun with butter and a bottle of water with mint , none of that was charged. A glass of Cava - perf.

Athina Panayiotou

Classy place with warm atmosphere, variety of vegan options and good service . The only minus for me was the fact that almost all foods were spicy and since I'm sensitive, I did not have many options.

Holger Kurz

Exzellent and unrivalled compositions of vegetarian ingredients, e.g. Aduka from different root vegetables with Tyrolean dumpling , filled with white cheese (fantastic). Deserts with homemade ice cream

Sam M

Delicious food, very well thought-out dishes. Good value for the quality, friendly staff . One of the best vegetarian restaurants I've been to in the UK. Book ahead, understandably popular.

Veronika K

I recommend dinner here even for non-vegetarians. Great,interesting meals and super value. Actually - it might be even more interesting if you're not a vegetarian to try something new!

Kelly McBride

Thai fritters were sooo good. Banana chutney is ???? mushroom wellington for main was also rather tasty. Staff were excellent and food came very quickly (and it was very fresh).

Friederike Wild

Loved the smoked tofu starter, the vegan asparagus risotto and the Cosmopolitan cocktail .

Philip Seifi

Mouthwatering vegetarian dishes , worth the long wait . Finally a restaurant that explores all the vegetable world has to offer, instead of serving carnivore dishes ruined with fake meat substitutes.

Tine Putzeys

Go here for some hard to find, fancy vegetarian dining, with interesting flavors bases on vegetables , herbs and spices, rather than an overload of mock meats . There should be more of these restaurants

Drupad Trivedi

The service is excellent but the food is what makes this place a gem! Try the Thai fritters for starters and udon noodles ! They taste like nothing from this planet especially considering its veggie .

Claire Red Robot Media

The smoked tofu is really unusual and unlike any other tofu I've had. Fantastic range of dishes, good size portions and the food isn't bulked out with carbs like some vegetarian meals .

Davide R

Great vegetarian menu with vegan options . Fancy interpretations of classic dishes. Had a great vegan noodles .

Nic

Everything we ate was delicious but the chocolate sauce with the chilli pancake was on another level. Enjoy!

Chaffro

Incredibly delicious. All-veg meals can often feel a little heavy, but with portions not too big, this finds the balance really well .

Payton Swick

A bit fancier than the cafes around the area but has a great vegan and vegetarian menu and nice beer too.

Julia S.

As a non Vegetarian I actually liked the creativity and flavour of the food. Had the Jerusalem artichoke which was nice and peppery. Also very impressed by the choice of beers and ales

Emily Webber

Lovely veggie food with a lot of vegan options too

Callum Macdonald

The vegan chocolate ice cream (hidden without a V on the dessert menu ) is outrageously good, can't recommend it enough, fantastic!

Geertrui Eeckhout

So so good, the food is perfection!

Brooke Louise

Fab vegan vege fare. Reliable if not ground breaking. Also, vegan queen Sara Pascoe was also dining so... ????????‍♀️

Stephen Walker

Amazing baked spinach mushroom and smoked cheese crepe

Alice Liu

The vegan chocolate ice cream is divine! Couldn't believe a vegan dessert could taste that good.

Chris R (thechristophe)

Menu lacked a coherent theme, as did the ambience. Food was tasty and obviously all vegetarian but left feeling a bit "that was alright" rather than blown away.

Danielle Boudreau

Lovely service, good options. Maybe I chose the wrong thing in the menu for my tastes, but I was underwhelmed by the kofta . The waitress ' favorite was the noodles , probably should have gone with that!

Josh A

Delicious veggie restaurant . Foodie quality not outrageously priced. Whisky panna cotta FTW.

Elizabeth

Aubergine koftas were lovely, as for dessert , try the desserts assortment..whiskey panacota is just delicious!

Holger Kurz

To me it is the best vegetarian restaurant I ate in GB up to now.

Kathy Toomey

Love the soups and everything else! The people here are so friendly

Friederike Wild

The kofta starter was very spicy . But liked the combination with the banana chutney .

Holger Kurz

Fantastic Vegetarian Meals . Very innovative and tasty!

Sophia

Colin Brown

Food is amazing with a varied vegan & vegetarian menu .

Mike Holland

Fabulous food and drink....friendly fast service ... bring your non-vegetarian friends and convert them!

Mike Arnesen

The best vegan food in Scotland! The humus bruschetta was amazing!

Peter Eeg

Wonderful flavored, not over powering and all vegetarian , very pleased.

Fabien Butazzi

To be honest I was very disappointed. Service and wines fantastic, but dishes were so pretentious and just a random mishmash of ingredients with no proper thought. Such a shame for the "#1 vegetarian "

Arne Dus

Exquisite vegetarian dishes and some nice organic ales

Catriona Macrae

The service, the weekend breakfast , the atmosphere

Matthew Lowery

The ravioli is a great starter!

Harry Roberts

The kofte were really, really tasty.

Peter Eeg

Any starter Is amazing!

Paula Davis

Chocolate soufflé

Drupad Trivedi

Don't try the cheese plate unless you are really really really into cheese . It's intense.

Btxa Muñío Robles

Love food and great service

Enes Soydemir
