Impressive

The 8 course tasting menu is really inspired and impressive. The brioche with feta and the chocolate dessert were particular stand outs. Service is attentive. It's expensive, but a really special experience.

Nice experience

We had the petit dinner and although I enjoyed my experience I feel I have had better vegan fine dining experiences for less money. The 3d printed beef was interesting and I’m glad to have tried it however I did find it a little weird to eat. It is very close to real beef and I prefer to have vegan food focused around whole foods and vegetables. It is down to personal preference.

Pros: Fully vegan and innovative

Cons: Expensive

Amazing fine dining vegan experience

Yes, it’s not cheap, but that’s for a reason… the food is so bloody good! Genuinely would eat there every day if I could! I loved it so much.

Incredible dining experience

Truly incredible experience, with amazing service and beautiful creative dishes. Every single course was unique and delicious. A little spendy but worth it, especially for a special night out.

Vegan Michelin Star Dining

We did the Petit dinner because we had tickets for Six the musical at 8 PM. It was an eight course meal. We could not have made it through the 10 course meal. I was stuffed when we were finished. The service was excellent. We rang the doorbell like we were going to a friend's house. They took my coat and my husband's backpack (we were tourists and had our passports in the backpack). We were dressed business casual even with the backpack. My husband and I had two bottles of the water which was great. I also had a drink that was delicious. Alexis Gauthier came out to the dining room to talk to another dinner he knew. It was like a celebrity spotting for us. He is the first Michelin Star Chef we have ever laid eyes on. But a vegan Michelin Star Chef is very impressive to us. The cheese sauce with the croissants was magical. The sauce was creamy and the croissants crunchy, flaky and soft on the inside. French cuisine magic. There was another dish with white and green asparagus. I could taste the difference in the two types of asparagus. Another dish had a broth with morels that was so good. The superstar was the 3D printed vegan steak with a red wine sauce. It was unbelievable. The vegetables were 3D printed on this dish as well. All the desserts were scrumptious. The Petit four had a dessert with a razor sliver of strawberry on top. But I could really taste the strawberry. I had coffee with the desserts and of course they had a vegan cream for the coffee. I really enjoyed this dinner.

I don’t get the hype

Was disappointed the first time I went so tried it again, and was disappointed the second time. Also tried their home kits which was more successful but overall not for me.

The best food ive ever eaten (including pre-vegan)!

Did the set tasting menu for my GFs birthday.
I wasnt sure what to expect - but it blew my mind.
I won't go into detail and ruin the experience for others.
I would simply recommend this. Make it a special occasion and treat you and someone else to an experience with Vegan food you wouldnt normally get elsewhere.

Also, the 'Future' dish is genius.

Pros: Phenomenal experience, Lovely wine, Incredible flavours

Cons: Big budget but worth it., Need to book well in advance

Vegan Fine Dining at it’s Best

Treated my sister to dinner here a few years ago. 5* dining experience. Pre fixe menu was creative, presented beautifully, and delicious.

Pros: Vegan pre fixe menu , Presentation

Cons: Not cheap, but well worth splurging

Grand Dîner (11 courses) 100% vegan, 100% amazing

Best meal I've had in my life, let alone since going vegan six years ago. The service was friendly and well informed. I had the Grand Dîner 11 course with the wine pairing (highly recommended) and it was an absolute dream from start to finish.

The pairings were masterful and the meal was perfectly paced and sequenced. I have eaten at other Michelin star restaurants, but this experience eclipsed them all. Much love to Alexis and his genius sommelier, staff and vision for a better future! Much love!

Pros: A magnificent Michelin Star experience, 100% Vegan, Wine pairing is superb

Cons: Pricey and several hours of time commitment, Must reserve in advance - limited calendar, Small, minimalist, but exclusive dining room

Disappointed

Mediocre food that tries hard to be something else. Ambience is a bit dead in my opinion probably because people tend to act pretentious in a pretentious space.
Not for me.

Cons: Expensive

Unforgettable experience

This place was impeccable from start to finish - the service, the food, the presentation, everything was so special. We would love to come again to try the other season menus they create. We had the grand dinner winter menu and every dish was packed with flavour. We had never eaten at a restaurant with a Michelin star chef before so weren’t completely sure what to expect but we loved it, and we were stuffed by the end. Getting to try redefine meat was just insanely good.

Pros: Excellent service , Delicious, flavour-packed food, Classy restaurant atmosphere

Wonderful French tasting menu

Each course was delicious and delivered by knowledgeable servers happy to explain the dishes. One of them was 3D-printed beef from an Israeli company that is a glimpse of the future of plant-based dining. Book far in advance as reservations fill quickly. #Veganuary

Pros: Everything is vegan!, Cozy townhouse location , Friendly staff

Such a wonderful meal

This entire meal and experience was excellent. The restaurant itself is a tasteful and intimate spot with attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The tasting menu we had was extremely delicious, well executed and rich. It was so nice to have French cuisine as a vegan as it’s been so long. The refine meat they use is honestly the closest thing to lamb I have ever tried and had it been at any other restaurant I would have been concerned they gave me real meat. Obviously it’s not cheap but for a special night out this is really an excellent choice!! The cocktails were a big hit too!

Pros: Delicious seasonal menu, Redone meat is incredibly realistic , Nice vibe and great cocktails

Cons: Expensive

5 star vegan food

Absolutely amazing food. Every dish was well thought out, full of flavour, beautifully presented and extremely tasty. Each course was a feast for the senses. We also did the wine pairing and all the wines were so well matched and tasted amazing. Lovely knowledgeable and down to earth staff. A fine dining experience that should not be missed and worth every penny.

Pros: Each course was amazing, Full of inventive dishes, Using vegan ingredients in new ways

Amazing

I mean I’m writing this review immediately after finishing my meal. Food is amazing. Flavor pairings were incredible.

If you can swing the price for the sit down multi course meal, then do it.

vegan gourmet

we went here for the grand diner at 19:30h. We had the 8-course diner and it was delicious.

Overall I think we spent nearly 3:30 hours in there. We were not in a rush at all so we sat, talked and enjoyed all the dishes as they came.

The waitress would explain all dishes in detail, although I have to admit that sometimes there were several ingredients I was not familiar with.

I believe we had the late summer menu, cause it changes often.

Pros: Complete menu, Tasty, service

Cons: Expensive

Phenomenal Meal

Celebrating a special birthday, we had the 8 course tasting menu.

The service was outstanding, with helpful and knowledgeable staff explaining each course.

Water was brought to the table immediately, with the wine order around the third course. There was an option for the sommelier wine matching to the courses but we opted to have a bottle of wine.

None of the pictures I took do the food justice. The vegan cheeses were notably good, both rich and creamy and perfectly balanced flavours.

It's impossible to pick a favourite course! It's simply well worth a visit.
