Loved this restaurant. The food was fantastic; we had the seven course taster menu and every dish was a delight. Though we ate early and it was very quiet, we felt very relaxed, the staff were delightful and we felt very well looked after. I'm surprised not to have seen this place on more 'best vegetarian restaurants in London' lists. We loved it.

My new favourite vegan restaurant! The food was exceptional. Unique dishes with ingredients exquisitely paired together. The Miss Muffet pasta dish is a must try! I had the vegan version but my friend had the veggie version (only difference is the cheese). I must say, the vegan cheese used was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. My carnivore friend was extremely impressed also. Also highly recommend the chocolate decadence dessert! The service was wonderful. Gloria is a real asset to the restaurant, knowledgeable on all dishes with a friendly personal touch. One thing I loved is how we weren’t rushed between dishes, like at a lot of restaurants. It can be really difficult getting a healthy vegan meal nowadays, with most restaurants only offering processed food. It was easy to tell how clean the food was, as I felt great after the meal with no bloating or fatigue. It was great speaking to owner-chef Emerson at the end. His passion for good food, well sourced ingredients and ethics were inspiring. The restaurant has vegetarian options, with the inclusion of egg and dairy, though is mostly vegan and most veg dishes can be made vegan upon request. It was so good I went back the following week, and will continue to do so whenever in London.

Absolutely fantastic. The service here was exceptional. The owners of this restaurant are truly passionate about the food they serve and they care about good healthy quality food. I’m a meat eater and my friend’s a vegan and we both throughly enjoyed the food. Me and my friend had an amazing time and we will definitely come back again.

This lovely, tucked-away boutique vegan and vegetarian restaurant has a chilled, low-key vibe that I really enjoyed. As a vegan, I was excited to visit, and I brought along my meat-eating friend who was trying a ‘no meat’ restaurant for the first time. They opted for the Forest Floor Calamari to start, followed by the Fruit of a Banana Leaf for their main, and finished with the Cheesecake Treatment for dessert. They were absolutely delighted with all three dishes and said they'd happily have them again. As someone who's plant-based and has tried all sorts of global cuisines, I tend to be a bit more critical when it comes to flavours and textures. I started with the Faux Gras, which I understand is a popular choice here. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark for me in flavour. However, the Fillets of Trumpet Royale for my main course won me over again! The Madagascan Green Peppercorn Sauce was a delight. My only slight niggle was that the mushrooms were a tad chewy—I would have loved them to be seared for that extra touch (personal preference). Dessert was an absolute dream, which is something I rarely get to enjoy when dining out as I’m both plant-based and gluten-free (I know, the joys!). The Peruvian Chocolate Porcelain with Salted Caramel and Vanilla Ice Cream was exactly what I needed. I also tried my friend’s Cheesecake Treatment, and as much as I adored my dessert, theirs truly stole the show—I’m craving another one already! We both noticed how light and satisfied we felt after our meal—none of that usual heavy, ready-for-a-nap feeling. It's fantastic that they don't use any soy or fake meat replacements; this is how good food should make you feel. 5 stars to the staff who were —attentive, friendly, and an absolute joy to interact with. We were seated at the back, so we missed the action from the live kitchen in the centre of the restaurant, but hopefully, next time I’ll get to experience that too. All in all, I’m looking forward to my next visit—hopefully, it’ll be five stars all around!

The ambiance is great. Cocktails were great. They admitted they were having a bad day with staffing but service was lacking and food was slow. We sent a dish back which was stone cold which was quickly replaced to their credit. I have been to a lot of vegan restaurants and unfortunately we left feeling a bit disappointed with the flavour and overall experience here for the price you are paying. I'm sure everything is sourced well and ingredients were clearly fresh but each dish we had just felt underwhelming and slightly bland
