Do not recommend

The only vegan options for breakfast were dry toast (no vegan margarine) with avocado. Even the VG granola option was honey roasted. Would not come here again.

Limited options but great food and atmosphere

3 vegan options clearly labelled. The risotto is delicious and a good sized portion. Lovely cocktails, good service, and a vegan option for dessert too!

Pros: 3 vegan options clearly labelled, Beautiful setting, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Limited vegan options, Slightly expensive (but not too bad!)

Cockroach in food

Defs don’t recommend. If you get an iced coffee - make sure you say no cream. I ordered oat milk and they put dairy cream on top. Also ordered the vegan risotto - half way through eating it - I found a cockroach in it. Omg. Vegan nightmare. This place has gone downhill since I was last there - which was actually a good experience.

Pros: On darling Harbour

Cons: Not many vegan options, Bad hygiene - found cockroach in my food, Staff not understanding of vegan

Wouldn’t go here again

Went here for breakfast and ordered the big vegan breakfast. It was very oily and they threw some random raw dates on the plate. The vegan bacon was very undercooked so I didn’t end up eating it. felt nauseous for hours after because of how oily it was. The Service was terrible also, very slow and ended up going to the bar asking.

Doesn’t seem to know what vegan means

The “vegan” big breakfast is insanely over priced for a meal that even an Omni wouldn’t eat. ($25) Veggies were doused in oil. The dry toast didn’t have margarine (they offered me butter🤐) Dumping a handful of dry dates on the plate (?) I don’t understand. The “falafel” is the 2 x black balls on the plate that I couldn’t crack with a knife they were so hard. The vegan “egg” is ?fried pastry and the orange “yolk” is ?carrot! Like huh!? I can’t rate the facon coz I didn’t want to try anymore it was unpleasant enough. I always feel for service staff, but when I commented re giving butter to a person requesting vegan version, I felt like they didn’t care either way. The juice I ordered (watermelon) was actually mixed (I didn’t know that), the menu lists “Watermelon $8” then underneath a list of other fruit. I mistook it for just being watermelon, so when I got it, it was sour and I thought it was bad. The waiter told me it was a mix with lime and nectarine or sth. I don’t like sour juice, so I told them I didn’t want it which they were nice enough to take away and offered to replace it with another juice (free of charge which I declined and had water) although it was billed to us when we went to pay and we had to explain we had returned it when we paid. There wasn’t issues with that. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. Even with the bad reviews I thought I would give this place a go, but don’t waste your time or $. (It was also 45 mins wait to get food, we asked to follow up and then it quickly appeared. Left the impression that it was ready but forgotten)
I had to go for a quick walk to QVB to a place that sells vegan pastries which satisfied my hanger. The sad thing about this, is that if a non vegan went to try this meal and thinks this is what vegans eat, it would put anyone off for life 😵‍💫

Pros: It sells coffee

Cons: Over priced, Thinks vegan is vegetarian optionally , Service is very slow

Rare find in Darling Harbour

A welcome option for brunch, when we could see no others around Darling Harbour. Was pleased to see a big breakfast option on the menu.

The idea of the breakfast was better than the reality. The sausages were 'chicken' style not too my liking at all. Extra points for effort on the vegan egg. I liked it but I never liked eggs, so I'd say it's not the best imitation. The sourdough bread was fine, but served with butter on the side!! The mushrooms with spinach was the best item on the plate.

There was one other breakfast option: a granola with fresh fruit.

Service was great. Good view of the harbour

Pros: View and location

I know, right! What about places that put butter on the side of vegan versions? Like to give you the option of straying from veganism if you feel like it 😆🙄

Darling Harbour Views

The location itself is really nice, with both table and booth seating, and an undercover outdoor area with heating too. The vegan menu is small but the lunch and dinner’s I’ve had here have always been tasty. Pre-covid they offered a seperate vegan menu with 4 options listed. Now the options are limited to a pizza and a risotto. I’ve had the risotto three times now and is definitely a favourite. In saying that, there aren’t many nice dining options in Darling Harbour for vegans so I commend this restaurant for the effort!

Pros: Friendly staff, Great location

Cons: Not many vegan options, A little expensive

Lame breakfast

I probably would have liked this place for lunch or dinner, but I really hated the nourish bowl I had for breakfast. Like another commenter, I thought the sweet potato would be hot but it was very weirdly cold. Also weird combination with the raisins and avocado.. it just felt like a strange vegetable lunchable all laid out “deconstructed” style. If I’d be in the area longer, I’d be willing to give it another go, but alas, I must leave. There are a lot better options in the Newtown area if you’re willing to take a little trip away from the harbour!

Good for the area, pretty uninspired

I had the nourish bowl for breakfast. The ingredients were fresh and tasty, but I expected the sweet potato to come hot. Serving size also not that big. Pretty good in general though, and a nice spot.

Great ambiance

Made a reservation and when we arrived the vegan menu was already on the table! VERY friendly and accommodating staff and beautiful setting. We were outside at a Harbourside table. Chairs were so comfy that we could have fallen asleep!!! Food is Mediterranean inspired with a varied menu. I had the fettuccine with mushrooms, tomatoes, walnuts, arugula and chimichurri and I really liked it but the portion was huge!!!

Pros: Vegan menu, Beautiful decor, Comfy (lounge type) chairs

Great spot

The location is great, nice open ambience. Service was ok, for the number of them it seemed hard to get their attention. They have a separate vegan menu. I had the salad which was nice, but expensive.

Pros: Location , Separate Vegan menu

Cons: Expensive

Harbour dining

Nice, quiet with friendly staff. The menu is small. The food is nice but expensive for what you get. However it is nice considering there aren't a lot of other options in Darling Harbour.
