Lovely start of the day - Edit
We had the mushroom on toast and harissa eggplant as brunch and it was just amazing. Great combination of flavours. The restaurant is also cozy and the staff is very friendly.

tasty but expensive - Edit
They describe each dish as a ‘small plate’. They are certainly smaller than normal but not like a tapas, so maybe 1-2 would be sufficient for a small or large meal. However each plate is priced at c £10 so ordering more than one feels very extravagant.

Delicious vegan small plates - Edit
Would give 5* if HappyCow would allow it! Wide variety of delicious vegan-friendly small plates (aubergine shawarma, bean tacos, nectarine & fennel salad, and more), nice beer, relaxed atmosphere, friendly service. Recommended!

Lovely small dishes - Edit
Came here due to a recommendation. Loved the food, the aubergine especially. Not a cheap meal as the menu comprises only of small dishes, but still worth a visit 🍴

Tasty vegan options but could do better - Edit
Friendly, relaxing restaurant with 4 vegan options on the dinner menu. Small portion sizes and not much in the way of protein. The aubergine dish is worth a mention

Tasty and fresh! - Edit
Rye vegan options are quite tricky to find so this place was a godsend when visiting. Food was full of flavor and really delicious, would have appreciated being able to order a side of bread or chips though as the meal was vegetables and I found I was hungry again not too long after. We also asked for the discretionary service charge to be taken off the bill. For two meals and two soft drinks it came to just over £40, as we were only in the restaurant for 45 minutes we didn’t feel it warranted an added 12% tip.

Tasty food but small portions Expensive - Edit
Our waitress seated us then 2 other couples 10 minutes later, then took their orders first and seemed to forget about us for the next 20 minutes. Not a good start. Food very expensive. Tapas style menu. Very small portion £7.25 for 2 arancini mushroom balls. Tiny Thai salad £6.25. The non vegan options we saw on other tables were much bigger and not a lot different in price. Nice ambience and food quite tasty but we left hungry. Wouldn't visit again I'm afraid.
Read morePros: A few vegans options. Only 1 vegan dessert option
Cons: Very Expensive for portion size

Excellent vegan options - Edit
Mixed cafe but plenty of vegan options. Imaginative menu; not the usual fodder. Lovely, friendly staff. Top espresso. Worth five stars but this website caps mixed venues at four.

Very good - Edit
We had the Mexican eggs and the Braised Aubergine and both were very flavourful and filling. Would definitely recommend. Most dishes were £7~10

Great vegan food, shame about the service - Edit
Several great vegan options - we tried 3 dishes within our group - and the food was delicious. Unfortunately the whole experience was very much overshadowed by the appalling attitude and behaviour of one of the serving staff, who was very rude to me whilst I was ordering and was seen to pull faces behind my back as I left. She really let the side down.

Good enough for two days in a row - Edit
Long, light room stylishly decorated with midnight blue and white contrast walls, plants, artwork and retro filament light bulbs. Unobtrusive soul playlist. Fresh and colourful vegan options, nicely presented. Great zing in both the sweetcorn salsa accompanying the Mexican beans and the salsa verde on the side of the mushrooms on toast. Creative soups such as super greens or parsnip, pear and leek served with generous granary slabs (no vegan butter alternative offered). Vegan options clearly labelled on menu but ask about cakes - one vegan cake when visited (banana bread). Own coffee roast blend available for purchase.

Absolutely amazing! - Edit
A brilliant place! Finding somewhere with vegan options sometimes is already tough enough, but add ‘dog friendly’ to it and it’s a real struggle. This place is heaven! A good selection of vegan options, great soya latte and delicious cake (that day they had chocolate avocado and banana bread) and you can bring your dog inside. Also, I accidentally ordered the wrong juice which wasn’t vegan and the lovely lady came over to our table to let me know about it and if I’d like to change for another juice ... really thoughtful! Recommended!!!

Lack of cleanliness - Edit
The food was okay but very simple (tomatoes on toast). The cutlery was disgusting. I had to go through a few tables to find a clean ish fork. Hygiene is so important when you run a restaurant. I won’t go back.

Best bet in Rye for vegan breakfast and lunch - Edit
When I'm in Rye and up for breakfast or lunch The Fig is my first go-to place: small, nice vibe, good coffee, dog-friendly and always vegan options (I sometimes was too late for vegan cake, though).
Read moreAt the moment (January 2018) their small menu contains 4 vegan dishes:
- spicy meican beans on toast wth guacamole and mixed leaf.
- Squash, red pepper and spinach dahl with coconut yoghurt and flatbread. (my favourite)
- Falafel wrap with spicy harissa, slaw and rocket.
- Slow roasted tomatoes on toast with marmite, basil oil, pea shoots and toasted seeds.
Pros: fresh, good quality ingredients, home-made, tasty food, dog-friendly
Cons: Vegan cake options sometimes gone too fast ;)

Really good food! - Edit
Really good selection of vegetarian food that tastes amazing!
Read moreThe only things I've noticed on the menu that are not vegetarian is eggs Benedict and eggs florentine and the occasional special.
A range of Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch dishes ranging from salad and soup to quiche and bruschetta plus freshly baked cakes that include vegan options.
The spicy beans on toast is my go to, I love it so much I find it hard trying other things on the menu. The staff are also very lovely.
Pros: reasonably priced, good selection , welcoming
