Transcendent

By far the best vegan food in Folkestone. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time, even compared to super high end and expensive restaurants. I loved it!

Pros: Delicious small plates

Cons: All the staff were love but service could improve

Hippy Hangout and All That Jazz

We enjoyed brunch here, though my teen son said it was "hippy food", and the eclectic 'jazz' music didn't aid digestion. Food's described as 'plant-based' (which can mean anything), but we confirmed it's all vegan.

Pros: Tasty food

This is the most superb vegan food I’ve ever tasted in a very down to earth environment. We’ve just moved to Folkestone and very very happy to be so close to such an amazing vegan restaurant.

Fantastic (Non vegan - vegan food)

We've eaten at this plant based restaurant a couple of times and the food is superb. My wife isn't a vegan and we've taken non vegan friends and they raved about the food. Highly recommend.

Pros: Selection of food, Service was excellent

Nice food & friendly atmosphere

Great tasting freshly cooked food, friendly staff. The only con is that the food took a while to be served on both occasions, however, it is definitely worth the wait 100%!!

Pros: Friendly , Filling food , Very fresh tasting

Yummy breakfast

Good choice of brunch. The chickpea omelette was really good and the ciabatta came with a nice salad with pickles and seeds 👌🏻

Hot sandwich

Had the Pastrami Ruben and Nori Tofu sandwich. Can highly recommend both. Served on different types of the freshest bread that was toasted to perfection. The flavours and textures on both were exceptional!

Pros: Flavours, Variety

Don’t be put off by the fancy menu - this place is great

I’ve checked out this place for years. Every time I go to Folkestone, I always stop in and check the menu. I always turn away because I don’t fancy anything on the menu. The descriptions are so posh, I actually don’t know what this dish is and that kind of puts me off.

But tonight I just bite the bullet. I didn’t fancy anything anywhere so I just thought I’d just go in and see what the staff recommended. They recommended something I just couldn’t comprehend so I stuck to a safe mushroom roti dish and it really didn’t disappoint.

I ordered from the evening menu and had the sweetcorn and seaweed chowder with fig cornbread to start followed by the Masala Oyster Mushroom Salad Roti. Both dishes were so good that I wish I had ordered more. For the evening menu, a small dish and a big dish was enough if you are not too hungry (my appetite been up and down lately) but for people with big appetite you might need third dish.

Only criticism I have is I felt the fig cornbread didn’t go very well with the sweet corn chowder (don’t put the sweet bread into the soup) but separately they were delicious.

****updated - went back the next day for lunch and the customer service was great. They remembered me from the day before (without prompting) and gave me a royal service. I ordered the Phish Goujon Ciabatta and a side dish of the Beetroot Carpaccio. Both great dishes. If you love beetroot, the Carpaccio is a must ☺️

****updated 29th August 2021 - went for Sunday lunch and has the Pea Meat Ballantine and the Cinnamon and Fruit french toast for dessert. Both great dishes, The Ballantine is quite light but just filling enough. The french toast a lovely autumnal taste and one to go for if you love cinnamon. It’s very filling so together with the Ballantine, they make a good combo 😋

Pros: Delicious Food, Creative, Artisan Vegan Food, Well priced

Cons: Menu needs to be less descriptive, Maybe should name the dish with small description

Lovely breakfast

Came here with a group of vegan runners after parkrun for breakfast. The staff weee really accommodating, taking our orders in advance so we didn’t have to wait long. Staff were friendly and we were all able to sit outside. The food was delicious- beautifully presented as well as tasty and I loved the bacon they had! I need to go back to test the lunch/dinner menu!! Very good.

Pros: Beautiful presentation

Amazing

Amazing vegan food and drink options. Staff were lovely. We went when they were about to change their menu over so they advised there would be limited options but there was still lots of choice.

Fabulous Evening with so much delicious food on offer

Loved the relaxed atmosphere. Service was great. Friendly helpful waitress gave us guidance to ensure we had ordered enough food and wouldn’t be left hungry!!

We so weren’t!! Pudding topped off a great evening. Loved it all. Price was spot on for the delicious food served up.

They miscalculated our bill and undercharged us!!! We’d had such a great foodie evening that we couldn’t let that go unnoticed. It wasn’t fair on such a great little venue. Paid in full plus tip and well worth every penny.

Pros: Totally plant based 👍🏻👍🏻, Puddings a plenty! , Tasty veg cooked perfectly

Cons: Loos outside off premises, Wine by the glass £7+?
