Amazing deal, delicious food

I piled all sorts of food on my plate and was shocked at how reasonable the price was!!! Not to mention the food itself was delicious and all the staff were extremely friendly. A must-visit for vegans in Rome.

All-vegan buffet!

Just the best vegan restaurant l've ever visited in Rome and in the rest of the world. But large plates are insidious!

Pros: Incredible tasty and various dishes!

Impressed!

I usually don’t care for buffets...too many options and my plate ends up as a mush mash of flavors that don’t really work...this buffet was very good though! Some dishes could be warmer, but noodles were not over cooked and food was all tasty. Good clear allergen labels on dishes and knowledgeable multilingual staff to help with ingredients clarification.

Pros: Knowledgeable staff, Allergen labeling, Good selection, quality

Cons: Some dishes were not very hot, Would be expensive if I had a bigger appetite

Number 1!

Where should I start? Dozens and Dozens of choices along the Buffet. You fill your plate then it gets weighed on your way back to your table (we went for 2 rounds so we could cover more ground). The desserts were amazing. They offer to add ice-cream to each dessert which can't be a bad thing. As we approached the end we started to wonder how much money we had spent as it wasn't clear when your plate is getting weighed but we were pleasantly surprised what we paid for all the food plus a bottle of wine.

Pros: The options and the system used

Cons: None

Great food

I didn‘t like the place. Normally I am very disciplined in buffets, due to limited options. Now imagine a buffet with unlimited options and the most awesome stuff in the world. Yes. You wanna throw yourself into the buffet and rub it all over you. I did. Three times. It was perfect.

The price at the moment is 24€/kg. It can quickly become a little pricey. But it‘s worth it.

Pros: Soooo yummy, Nice atmosphere, Good service with good English

Cons: Buffet style, A little pricey

Great variety of dishes

It is evident that Ops takes a holistic approach to veganism and eating for health. Restaurant has a great ambience but gets a bit busy around lunch time. The choice of vegan dishes is amazing, if not slightly overwhelming! You’ll probably find yourself dishing up a BIG plate of food.

Pros: Only vegan , Strong vegan ethos

Fantastic food

We were staying by the Pantheon, so it was about a 35 minute walk for us. But well worth it! There were more than enough options on the buffet. They also have coffee and desserts but I was too stuffed to have any. I really loved their gnocchi and farro.

Pros: All vegan

Off The Charts Delicious

If you are a vegan visiting Rome, don't miss this place! We just went there expecting a nice vegan buffet ... and were blown away! The variety and creativeness of their dishes is amazing. Lots of interesting flavours and spices and a huge selection.

For dessert we tried their gelato, which was creamy and delicious! We had the coffee and hazelnut flavours.

We have two more days in Rome, and I'm guessing we will be back to this restaurant twice more ;-)

Pros: Huge variety buffet, Well-prepared and delicious, Awesome gelato

Très bonne adresse 100% végane

Un buffet végane sucré et salé très varié et succulent s’offre à vous dans un cadre agréable. Le personnel est très aimable et avenant.
Dommage que nous avons découvert cette adresse le dernier jour, car nous serions certainement retournés une deuxième fois. Le mercredi c’est la journée sans gluten, tous les plats proposés sont sans gluten.
Ils proposent aussi des cours de pâtisserie vegane sans gluten.
Tout est évidemment fait maison.

Pros: Beaucoup de variété dans les plats et desserts, Beaucoup de choix pour ceux qui évitent le gluten, Personnel aimable

Vegan Buffet

We had a group pre-cruise dinner here. It was a great venue for a large party. Buffet was extensive and my favorite was the gnocchi. Close to and walkable from Termini station.

Pros: Great for large parties, pay for amount taken

Cons: A little salty for my taste

Amazing vegan buffet restaurant!

Friendly service and amazing, amazing dinner! A neat concept with so much great food. Enjoyed getting to try yummy vegan lasagne, gnocchi, various prepared vegetables, tiramisu and chocolate mousse. Sweet residential area and felt like a local's joint - we loved it!

Food is incredibly tasty,colorful and varied!! Ate here for the first time when I started becoming curious about veganism and it really made me discover new flavors and ingredients. A con: a bit pricey but definitely worth it for the good quality of the food!!!

So Thankful We Found Ops!

Rome was our last stop of our 10 day trip to Italy. Traveling were 2 vegans and two non-vegans. We had enough of adjusting dishes to remove animal products and felt like we'd gone to heaven when we arrived. Seitan, Tofu, Tempeh, delicious rices, lasagna, gnocchi and more. My daughter was thrilled that there was vegan cheesecake too. Everything was incredibly delicious and we felt fantastic after eating such a delicious meal.

Pros: Vegans can eat everything here!, So many options!, Serve yourself so get large or small portions

Vegan buffet

The restaurant is within walking distance of the main Rome termini station. I like the idea that you pay by weight. I think it’s more fair for people who aren’t big eaters, and likely reduces the amount of food waste that I’ve seen at traditional buffets where people only eat half of what they take. There was a reasonable selection of items, but I agree with others who said they found the prices high and the food average at best. The pasta in the lasagne was cooked to mush (and I would expect Italians to make decent lasagne) and the tiramisu had a bottom layer of what tasted like orange marmalade. Isn’t tiramisu supposed to be made with coffee? I left a little disappointed.



Updated from previous review on 2018-06-19

Pros: Lots of choices, Pay only for what you want, Close to Termini station

Cons: Over cooked pasta, Tiramisu that really wasn’t tiramisu, Pricey

One of the best vegan meals I've ever had!

My partner and I toured Italy, making sure never to eat in the same place twice. This is the only restaurant on our entire trip we ate twice at!!
So much variety and all so delicious!
I love that it was buffet style so I could try everything I wanted to.
There olive oil vanilla gelato is also the creamiest and most delicious gelato I have ever eaten
I highly recommend eating here, you won't regret it!

Pros: Great service and ambience, Lots of variety, Best gelato ever
