Gorgeous vegan bliss

What an absolute gem! A true slice of Eden in beautiful, tropical North Queensland. The staff, amazingly friendly, warm, welcoming and informative. The decor, cosy, earthy, organic and not overly done, a perfectly calm atmosphere. And the food, gorgeous! Real food, it’ll take anyone back to their kinder roots. I can’t wait to come back to this bliss.

Pros: Truly vegan , Lovely staff, Calm, earthy atmosphere

Cons: None. Nothing.

Family recipes

Always delicious food, great value, and a few dishes to choose from. The friendly owners explained to me that the recipes originated from their grandma, hence the name of the restaurant, referring to their own ancestral roots. The times that I've visited the entire menu has been vegan, including the bubble tea. They serve everything in biodegradable bowls to take away, but also provide a few tables to sit and enjoy the food and stereo, which tends to play acoustic covers of top 40 hits.

Pros: All vegan, large serves, good value.

Cons: A bit hard to find unless you know where it is.

Cairns needed this

I’m so glad to see Cairns finally has an accessible vegan restaurant, and I’m even happier that it’s tasty.

The servings sizes are food, staff are friendly and the food is delicious.

Today we had the vegan fried rice with the curry tofu and sweet and sour “fish”. Of the two the tofu was the better option, but the “fish” is still great. It’s got a strong mushroom flavour from an incredible amount of enoki.

The bun wasn’t the flavour I expected, but it’s still very nice. Tasted a bit more like a large, round spring roll.

In the past they’ve had a mock chicken meat, which was excellent.

The menu changes regularly, so come back often!

Pros: Easy local vegan , Delicious , Rotating menu

Cons: Not open every night

Amazing food good value

I love this place. The food is delicious and the girls are lovely. It's good food for the price compared to a lot of vegan foods in Cairns. Although it's a vegetarian place all of the food is vegan whenever I have been :)
