Delicious food, lots of vegan options

We got the $25 fill a plate for two people to share - which was 7 options. There were 5 vegan options available - two delicious and nutritious salads, tagine, roast potatoes and roasted tomatoes. It was enough for two of us. They added vegan aioli which was great. The two smoothie options were vegan too and delicious!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly staff , Nice inside and outside seating

Reasonable price and tasty food!

Below comments are pretty accurate! Getting a plate with a variety of food as a vegan you will be getting every vegan food they offer so not loads of choice but worth going once as everything is super tasty! When I went there was only one vegan salad so staff were happy to give me more roast cauliflower (the main event) to compensate! Delicious! Vegan aioli was also available.

Pros: Friendly staff, reasonable prices

Cons: Could have veganised one of the other three salads

Very good food

So nice to get fresh, tasty and healthy food in NZ. Everything is very good and original, but not a lot of vegan option. Was very happy as a vegetarian though. A bit expensive but like everywhere in NZ anyway.

Choose Your Plate! w/Vegan Options

There were plenty of Vegan options to choose from to make a full large plate, the food tasted really good & freshly cooked. All the Vegan options are labeled & they have Vegan desserts 🤤

(Not that this is something I endorse or encourage in anyway; but they only allow 1 serve of meat per plate, this is kind of a step in the right direction as they are reducing the quantity of meat being sold to consumers).

Pros: Lots of vegan options., Vegan Desserts!

Cons: Exposed to the sight of dead animal., Has a rotating animal spit.

Good food

It is a bit expensive but there are always good vegan salad options. Vegetarian and vegan mains are always on offer and it is a great hangover cure that isn’t grimy. There are also vegan tray bakes on offer. Not open all day.

Needs more vegan options

I had a medium plate for 18$. Potato, courgette and a salat, but something was missing. It was a little boring. It is clearly a place for meat eaters and I had a plate full of sides.

Meh

Went there for dinner and asked for a medium plate ($18) to be filled with things that were vegan - things I had on my plate were basically potatoes and rice. What I had was tasty but it was very disappointing as didn’t feel like there was anything to be getting anything but carbs from. It would also be amazing if they charged a little less for vegetarian/vegan plates as there’s hardly anything to them.

Healthy and tasty

We shared a medium plate with the 5 vegan options of the day (roasted potatoes, grilled cauliflower, saffron rice and 2 kinds of salad) for I think $16. We weren't very hungry so it was perfect for the two of us. The staff is very friendly.

Pros: Daily vegan options, Friendly staff, Healthy and flavorful

Expensive but rather healthy

I was a bit shocked when I saw the prices, but then again, that seems to be normal for Wanaka. I small plate is $9, which is not enough unless you're a child, so the $16 is most probably the minimum you'd go for.

The food was good, but rather simple. Couscous, potatoes, some salads etc. You can choose from a few options and they put a plate together for you. It's one of the more healthy options in town.

It's a popular spot and you share your table with other people.

Pros: Healthy, Plenty of veggie options

Cons: Expensive, Bit simple, nothing you can't make yourself

decent vegan options

Great food for people who want something quick to eat in or takeout. There are always a few vegan options and it's pretty tasty. Only thing is it's a bit pricey. Other than that, it's great!

Pros: fast few vegan options

Cons: pricey
