• Not wheelchair friendly

It is extremely difficult to find in that it is at the end of a suburban-looking dead-end street that you would never imagine had any business there, let alone a vegan restaurant. I went with a friend who is a wheelchair user and as well as being difficult to get down along the pavement, it is very difficult to get into the garden and across to the seating. I'm not suggesting they claimed otherwise, but in this day and age (and bearing in mind that we were there right after the Paralympics!) venues need to take more responsibility about being inclusive. It is not as if they have to convert a building: they only need to make the path normal, in fact. We arrived within the advertised hours and after sitting at a table for quite a while the owner(?) eventually turned up and told us there was none of the daily lunch left. He put something together for us instead, but I was a bit unsure if we were getting the equivalent for the same price. It seemed very expensive for what it was, and was not especially tasty: it was like what people stereotype vegan food to be like and I felt a bit embarrassed to have dragged my omnivore friend there. I'd probably give them the benefit of the doubt and try again when in Rio, but alone.
