This used to be my favorite restaurant for special occasions, but our last visit was disappointing. The greeting was lackluster, the restaurant was freezing, and we had to eat in our coats. Our table was broken, there were no menus available, and the vegan options were lacking compared to previous visits. I was very disappointed overall, especially with the high cost for just four spring rolls and two beers. The experience just wasn't worth it. I found more atmosphere and passion at Tim Hortons.

We ordered the vegan chef's selection and were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. My mom and I were unable to finish everything, so we ended up taking some leftovers home. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious! We left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied and in a state of food coma.

This is the best vegan food we have ever had. Top quality! Unfortunately, since this is not a fully vegan/vegetarian restaurant, we can only give it a maximum of 4 stars. The prices may be a bit high, but the food is incredibly unique and delicious! The rainbow pokè was amazing, as was the "chicken" option. Overall, it's a fantastic place.

I have been vegan for 27 years, and that was the best, most decadent meal I have had in memory. My partner is not vegan, and he agreed that it was the best meal he can remember. We shared the Thai maishunde, hand "crab" roll, spiced "foie gras" spring rolls, "caviar" and truffledries, vegan poke dish, and the chocolate hazelnut dish. Everything was fantastic, but our favorites were the pommes, foie gras early rolling, and dessert. The table next to us ordered the chef's non-vegan choice and seemed a little regretful that they did not have what we did. We did not order any drinks besides water, and with the satisfaction of the meal, we lacked for nothing.

This vegan restaurant is a 5-star establishment that follows Happy Cow's rules. The food here is incredibly creative, tasty, and satisfying. I have dined here many times and every vegan dish has been amazing. Even if you have visited before, I recommend coming back as the menu always changes and continues to improve. There are plenty of options and delicious desserts available. All cocktails are vegan and some of the best vegan/vegetarian options I have experienced in Bow Valley, Alberta and beyond. While some plant-based eaters may not be interested in meat substitutes, I urge them to try the KFC saam, crab, and kushiyaki by beef - all of which are recommended. Recently, they had chicken fried maitake mushrooms that were outstanding. The staff also excel in service. Overall, you can't go wrong with this menu. Treat yourself and enjoy a visit to the bar for a fun and funky atmosphere, along with creatively updated cocktails.
