We attended a wedding where the catering was done by this restaurant and the food was excellent. This included the aubergine, which was surprisingly delicious. Their belief is that both vegetarians and vegans should be given equal importance on the menu, so they served side dishes with meat and the rest were vegan. The overall meal was amazing.

This restaurant offers a wide variety of salads and unique side dishes, such as pickled lemons, which are delicious. They also serve fresh juices, and their staff is always friendly and attentive. While they have started serving more meat dishes recently, you can still enjoy a good selection at their salad bar. There are a few outdoor seating options available, depending on the weather. Make sure to ask the staff to confirm which salads are vegan, and inquire about the use of honey in dishes to be safe.

If you're looking for a quick and healthy lunch option without the wait, Rocket man is a great choice. Although they serve meat and dairy, which some may find unnecessary given their wide variety of options, it seems they are catering to a larger market demand. Despite this, it has the potential to be a fantastic fully vegan spot. With plenty of choices and delicious salad combinations, you can select your preferred salad and get a generous portion for a reasonable price.

We recently attended a wedding where this catering company provided the food, and it was fantastic. Even the eggplant dish was delicious. Their philosophy is to provide equal options for both vegetarians and meat-eaters, so the majority of the dishes were vegan with a few meat options as well. The overall experience was amazing.

While it seems they have started to sell more meat recently, you can still enjoy their salad bar and find a good selection. There are a few outdoor seats available, depending on the weather.
