Beautiful food, lovely rustic restaurant

Enjoyed our dining experience! There was 8 of us plus a baby in a pram and there was plenty of space.

Tried most of the dishes, all tasty! The breads and fig butter was particularly yummy, and the potatoes.

Lovely vibes, great decor and a fab poster in the loo! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Plant based innovation at its finest

High end vegan cuisine.

Airy and calm setting.

Informed and professional staff.

One of the best chefs in the country.

As close to perfect as any dining experience can be without relying too much on hyperbole.

Pros: Everything

Memorable Experience

5 stars from start to finish. The food is seasonal, creative and delicious. This was such a memorable meal! Given the quality and inventiveness of this fine dining vegan food I don’t think it’s expensive.

Inventive and tasty food

A good variety of dishes to choose from without being overwhelmed, with lots of different vegetables being showcased at their best. Really flavoursome and inventive plates. Waitress helpful in explaining the plate concept. Only issues we had were it took over 45 minutes for the food to arrive but the waitress was apologetic for the delay. We had a mix up with our order and got an extra dish given which we were charged for but hadn't actually ordered, unfortunately this was the only dish we didn't rate as highly as we thought the artichokes were slightly undercooked. Also to note there was a 12.5% service charge automatically added. It is quite expensive with small portions but it's what we expected as assumed it would be a fine dining experience at a fully vegan restaurant so a special treat.

Pros: Inventive dishes, Vegetables taken to another level, Friendly staff

Cons: Quite expensive with small portions, Quite dark to read the specials board

Lovely restaurant

I recently took my non vegan grandparents to this fully vegan restaurant and they were impressed by the food as was I! I loved the atmosphere, food and very friendly staff!

Fantastic!

Every single dish bursted with flavour and freshness. We ordered quite a few of the wonderfully described nibbles, small plates, and a couple of the large plates, and we couldn't fault one of them. Beautifully presented dishes, and worth every penny. Highly recommend, and will definitely be returning in the future!!

Pros: Lovely decor, Amazing menu and specials , Perfect portion size

Pleasant fine dining

The food was delicious, but it got cold very quickly. This is probably due to the dining system, with many small plates to share. The food is a bit expensive for what you get. The interior is nice.

Pros: nicely furnished, delicious food

Cons: pricey

Beautiful desserts

The mains were ‘nice’ but we are spoiled for choice in Brighton and food doesn’t shine like it’s sister restaurant, Food For Friends. However, the desserts are delicious and I highly recommend the cheesecake. We sat at the back of the restaurant, near the loos, so the ambiance wasn’t great- the sound bounces off the walls…it had only recently reopened and maybe they have redecorated since I was there. It might be better to sit upstairs? The service was good.

Incredible

We have been eating vegan for about 3 years now and love finding new places me specially when they are doing something unusual.
This is the best vegan food experience we have had in 3 years!
The lions mane mushrooms in tempora was the pinnacle of a series of amazing platters.
This place is highly highly recommended

Pros: Veggies done in amazing ways. , No resorting to meat replacement , Unique dishes.

Cons: There isn’t one near where we live.
