Great value traditional (for Britain) style veggie fare in a calm but very busy little cafe close to the centre of the city. Set menu only, but very good, even for my non veggie friend. Option to have half portions was welcome at lunch time.

Vegetarian food with reasonable prices, what's not to like? The cafe-like atmosphere is not for candlelight dates, but for a quick eat. The food is like your mum made - nothing fancy, but fills you up.

I am not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed the meal here. Dessert was also wonderful. I had meatless loaf, lentils and a salad. Meatless loaf had a wonderful gravy. Sadly one vegan friend was not wowed. Nice bright atmosphere.

Yum, this place had a vegan Snickers dessert that was amazing. It seems like the menu changes daily and although we didn't have a chance to eat a full meal here, we sure enjoyed the dessert.

I got lost and found this place by accident but I sure was glad to have found this place. The food is amazing. They have different menus throughout the week and constantly changes.
The place is small, about 6 tables, and very comfortable and relaxing. It's a nice place to take a break from all the tourist targeted restaurant and get more of a local feel.
