Good by pricy - Edit
Really nice staff who made us feel comfortable during the whole meal.
Read moreFood was good but I found the burger a bit dry (a lot of bread with almost no sauce).
The bowls looked very nice too and the jack fruit was well prepared.
The prices are a bit hight though (16.5€ for a burger and 14.5 for a bowl + almost 2€ extra to replace the french fried by sweet potato fries)
For dessert I took the tiramisu and I figured out afterwords that it's raw and didn't really taste like tiramisu :/
Pros: 100% plant based, very nice staff
Cons: expensive

Food full of flavour - Edit
At first glance the menu looked quite boring, so we wasn’t too sure of coming here. We did in the end - and I’m so happy we did! Food was full of flavour and their lunch offer is a great deal of 10 euro for a huge plate including drinks.
Read moreWe got back later the same evening for some drinks (2 for 1) and a deep fried oyster mushroom snack.
Staff were lovely and the whole atmosphere was super welcoming and friendly

Tasty food & welcoming atmosphere - Edit
I was happy to find a table outside, and enjoyed the well balanced ingredients of the Buddha bowl & carrot cake (fresh & light). Also the local rosé wine was fine. As others already referred to: the staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. My best experience in & around Valletta.

Don’t need to go anywhere else in Malta for vegan food! - Edit
Best vegan spot in Sliema. Amazing friendly staff with forward thinking restaurant vibes. Went with my partner who is non vegan and he really enjoyed the hotdog. I Rate the vegan sauces, and the tastiness at this place!

Cozy little place at a nice location overlooking the sea.
Read moreFood is pretty good, interesting menu. We tried couple of snacks and cake that was nicely balanced and not too sweet.
I might missed a bit of spice, more intensive flavour.
Pros: Cake, Enterior, Staff

Very tasty, nice place - Edit
Nice small restaurant with a decent choice of dishes, starters and so on. Unfortunately the only vegan place in that part of Sliema.
Read moreVery nice staff.
You don't have to wait long for neither personnel nor the dishes.
What i recognized the fourth time i've been there within my stay on Malta is the relaxing feeling that you don't have to fear about getting animal products by accident and don't have to care about asking/careing to "veganize" anything by talking/negotiating like in most other restaurants. I really appreciate that.
If i'll ever return to Malta, this is definitely the place i'm going to eat on a regular basis (like this time every second day)

Pros: Not just some vegan "options", it is pure vegan., So you don't get animal products "by accident"., Sitting inside is more calm than in front of
Cons: At the promenade there's a traffic noise level

Super nice food and cozy place - Edit
The food is amazing, the waiters very nice and the music also great. We went upstairs and it was super cozy. We had the bacon cheeseburger and a polish dish and everything was very good. You can almost forget about the traffic and the crowds!

Amazing food, great service, good price - Edit
What more do you need? The headline says it all 😍 we enjoyed food, cocktails, cake and a starter and our was all very fresh and tasty. The service was great and even though you sit close to the street, it's a beautiful place to hang out and eat. We loved it and will definitely come back.

Really good, but imporvement possible - Edit
The food was great, the prices are ok.
Read moreWe had the calamari, loaded sweed potato fries, and the Bao Buns. I must say that the dishes were good, especially the free apetizer, but I see possible refinement.
The calamari had no fishy taste. Adding nori to the pank could fix that.
The bao buns with duck, the duck was a little tasteless, it could have a more distinct taste, by adding bbw sauce during frying or "brathuhn gewürz".
I found the fries were missing a sauce on the side. Furthermore the tomatoes were very unfitting, and the fried onion was giving ikea hotdog vibes. To fix them, make them crunchier, add a sauce like with the calamari, and bake them with some vegan cheese on top. Then they would be amazing.
The brownie we had was great. Again, something felt off. I think they should've had more bite to them with a soft molten chocolate core. But this is debatable.
In generall all of this is personal taste. This was complainong on the highest level. This was the best vegan food I has in Malta yet.

Delicious healthy food - Edit
As the only fully vegan cafe in Sliema we went to Balance Bowl on our first night in Sliema and were not disappointed. I had the Madras bowl and my partner had the Buddha bowl, which were both super tasty. We also shared a bottle of a local rose wine and a slice of tiramisu. Staff are super friendly and very helpful. We were offered a complimentary starter, which was really kind. I would definitely recommend this place.

Best vegan restaurant in Malta! - Edit
Before travelling to Malta I did research on good vegan places to eat, and Balance Bowl was at the top of every list on every article and blog I read. On our day trip to Valletta we made a point to take a quick detour (a short and inexpensive Uber ride away) to visit Balance Bowl. I’m so glad we did, and it’s very easy to see why it’s consistently recommended as the best place to eat vegan in Malta.
Read moreThe restaurant itself has a lovely vibe, similar to other trendy vegan places I’ve been to across the biggest cities in Europe. We sat in the outside seating area which was great. The staff member who served us during our visit was warm, attentive and very friendly. The menu has a wide variety of vegan dishes inspired by many different world cuisines - I just wish I could have tried a bit of everything!
We got a complementary appetiser of bigilla with some bread, and it was a lovely touch to give us the opportunity to sample a traditional Maltese food! I had the ‘cauliflower no steak’, which is a marinated cauliflower steak presented beautifully on a pea houmous with tomatoes and seeds, and crowned with delicious breaded and fried oyster mushrooms. My husband had an imitation chicken burger with loaded fries. The portion sizes are massive, very generous and filling. My cauliflower dish was so tasty and definitely Instagrammable! We got a slice of cake each to takeaway (we were too stuffed to eat them there and then) - I had chocolate hazelnut (which tasted like a Kinder Bueno in cake form) and my husband had a carrot cake which was very nicely spiced.
Overall a wonderful experience and I’m so glad we got the opportunity to eat in the best vegan restaurant in Malta!
Pros: Food, Presentation, Service

Unique fusion dishes, very cute cafe - Edit
Loved the cafe interior and the creativity of the dishes. I think some of the food could have had a little more flavor though, with the exception of the hoisin jackfruit, which was incredible. Very friendly staff, and decent hazelnut cake.
