Rumoured to be Michellin star worthy, the service here is certain to be attentive and quick. The wait staff move quickly and effortlessly, whilst still being friendly and sharing a little humour as they go even with our big group with complex orders. They are especially good at the personal touch, remembering your preferences and preempting your requests. It's vegetarian food only (there's a vegan and gluten free menu too) so the creativity of the food is really stretched, but delivered every time on our visit. The portion sizes are small and artistic, but bursting with flavour and fairly priced too. The menu changes regularly, but I'm told delivers quality consistently. What cost it a fifth star for me is the lack of atmosphere (a little quiet and dull), the iffy wine selection, and the inconsistency of some of the staff members. The location also isn't ideal, quite tucked away between buildings. Overall I'd recommend it to a vegetarian looking for a nice restaurant in the city. It was interesting and delivers on it's premise (vegetarian high dining) but I wouldn't be in a rush to return.
Had the vegan set menu 5 courses for £55 which is good value for fine dining. Staff were very nice and professional explaining the menu and the dish. The concept for each dish was really good, presentation also amazing. But the taste unfortunately did not deliver. The first course was my favourite sticky rice, cucumber and ginger puree. The rest of the dishes though intersting the taste was nothing special. The dessert coconut sorbet and coffee cake was really good. Although the portions were really small and was still a bit hungry afterwards!
Such great effort went into creating this amazing plant-based menu of pure sophistication… shame about the atmosphere and service. Our waitress was a little over-attentive with topping up our drinks and clearing the dishes, which made our dining experience here less relaxing than expected. The staff could benefit from being friendlier and smiling more.
A vegetarian/vegan restaurant done very well. Yes the portions are on the small side but, you don’t come to this restaurant for gorging on huge quantities of food. The quality of the food, the service and the prices are indicative of a Michlin recommended restaurant. The prices for their prefix menus are actually not bad. Would definitely go again.
