Bland food - Edit
I’ve had some ok meals here, others have been a disappointment. I found the all day breakfast was just potato overload, and the one tasty thing on the plate (tofu scramble) had the least amount. They should add tofu scramble on toast as an option as the breakfast menu is limited. I ordered a Matcha latte which I think they must’ve forgotten to add the matcha to or only added a small amount the colour is usually green it was totally bland. This came to an expensive £17 and pennies and definitely wasn’t worth it. The Good Apple in Sunderland is unbeatable for a full vegan breakfast if anyone reads this and gets a chance to visit.
Read morePros: Nice surroundings , Service
Cons: Really weak matcha latte - totally bland , Pricey , All day breakfast is just full of potatoes

Completely agree. The all day breakfast I had a couple of years ago was bland and overloaded with potatoes as was the VG lasagne. All dishes regardless of what they were including curries also came with a chickpea salad side dish which hardly anyone touched. Haven’t been back since but still good to see it doing well as it’s always busy.

I have had a couple of tasteless meals here now, personally I think their menu is too big, they should focus on changing their menu- it’s old and tired now, the specials are usually all I go for, but I ordered some buffalo shrooms from it before and they were just bland batter and I couldn’t find the shrooms unbelievably. I’m gradually giving up on this place tbh.

wide variety of tasty food - Edit
i've been here a couple of times now and it's a lovely restaurant. the menu has an impressive range, including a lot of tasty drinks. a group of us visited today and had the mushroom stroganoff, vegan kebab and vegan crab cakes and honestly had no complaints. i've also previously had a vegan bbq chicken burger which was just as tasty. the atmosphere and ambience is also lovely and we're looking forward to trying the christmas menu!

Extensive offering - Edit
Extensive vegan menu, not entirely sure what is not vegan - but I think they sell cow’s milk for example. Lovely ambience, staff is super nice. My food was not super, super special but it was good and warming. My turmeric oat latte was phenomenal.

Brilliant Bustling restaurant - Edit
This is a popular and long-established vegetarian restaurant close to the train station in central Newcastle. I loved my 'chikn' sandwich with fries and salad.
Read moreI came here during a busy lunch day so had to wait quite a while for my meal to arrive. I didn't mind though as I wasn't in a hurry. The lovely staff were apologetic and even offered an extra drink to make up for it.
The cost was a little high for my budget but reasonable for the quality and service.
Do pop by here if you are looking to treat yourself in Newcastle!
Pros: Great quality, friendly staff, convenient location
Cons: A bit expensive , long wait during busy times

Reliable choice - Edit
We’ve been to Supernatural many times - the food isn’t haute cuisine but doesn’t purport to be. Instead it’s reliable decent food. The portions are pretty large - I’ve been caught out on a couple of occasions ordering side dish & realising I had way too much food.
Read moreStaff are always friendly & a lot of their dishes can be made gluten free, including their Sunday lunch which I had for the first time today. I was very excited when it came to see it included Yorkshire pudding (the best part of Sunday lunch imo but usually not available to a vegan coeliac).
Pros: Lots of gluten free choices , Lovely atmosphere & decor , Handy location for train station

Great food and a pleasant atmosphere - Edit
I phoned to book for early evening the same day and that worked well. You choose from a menu then place your order at the counter. That’s ok unless you want a second beer during your meal. Two of us ate from the specials. I had deep fried oyster mushrooms which were served with a slaw and some delicious country style chips. The other diner had a platter with rosemary bread, bhaji, samosa, hummus, veggies. Very good and the menu seems to be vegan although they call the cafe vegetarian. Food was great and generous portions too. The restaurant was busy enough to have a good atmosphere although there were some tables not taken. The images I posted show there has been an interior refresh which works very well. I hope to return to eat here.

Great food, great price - Edit
Large portions of tasty food, enjoyed the lasagna and also loved the tapas (Friday and Saturday). Nice place for a quiet evening drink, cocktails are two for £12. They also do a good hot chocolate and a great Sunday roast

Squeezed in - Edit
We turned up on a Sunday Dinner time with no reservation and they managed to squeeze the two of us onto a table. I had Sunday lunch and my partner had the burger. I have to say, not all of the dinner was to my liking (not a big fan of celeriac) but the rest of the food was so good I have no complaints whatsoever.
Read moreMy partner was nursing a very bad hangover, and the burger gave him the boost he needed, he said it was perfect!
Have been before, and will definitely come again!

Favourite vegan place - Edit
A Newcastle institution! I come here several times every time I’m Newcastle & remember going with my mum in its earlier days in the 80’s. The menu is gorgeous, staff fantastic and everything is done with real care for the food, customer experience and the mission. Had the full vegan breakfast this morning, highly recommend!

Delish dahl - Edit
Lovely lunch of mushroom and lentil dahl with onion bhaji, pakora and spinach with raita (may have been vegan 🤔). Very filling and tasty. Had to go back to hotel for a lie down! Warned of half an hour wait but for me that is a sign of freshly cooked food. Will definitely return. Used to go to the original Super Natural 40 years ago when I was a student here. This one is less rustic but just as enjoyable. #Veganuary
