The lentil crunch wrap was fantastic, and there are plenty of options on the menu. It tends to attract a younger crowd, but the clientele is quite varied. I imagine it gets quite lively later in the evening, so I recommend going early if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere.
We visited in February 2023 and, at first glance, the menu displayed at the entrance didn't seem very vegan-friendly. However, there were vegetarian options that we could adapt to be vegan. Once we were seated and received the full menus, we discovered that there were actually some great vegan choices available, including pizza, pasta, and starters. Although I didn’t take any photos of the menu, the vegan dishes we tried—mushroom and thyme cream sauce pasta and vegan curry pasta—were delicious and beautifully presented.
The vegan Pizza was not very tastfull. Updated from previous review on 2022-12-04
There are a few vegan options on the regular menu. The food is good, but not particularly remarkable.
I've been here a few times and the food is amazing. I tried the vegan bowl, which was very good but a small portion. I'm giving 3 stars because for dessert I tried the Belgian waffles, which were very dry and the chocolate sauce tasted store bought and cold. Which is a shame, because the chocolate sauce that is served with the brownie is delicious and home made... All the other foods and the desserts are amazing though, definitely worth a visit!
