Surprisingly amazing vegan food! - Edit
I highly recommend the pulled jackfruit tacos (and I don't even like jackfruit usually), dumplings, and fried tofu. These three small plates instead of a large one (the vegan thali wasn't as good as these) was enough to fill me up nicely. I loved that even though this place was mostly outside, they had heaters and offered blankets so we weren't cold at all. And I can't forget – try the vegan pie – it was so delicious and unique with caramel and popcorn.

Pretty good, slightly pricey - Edit
My sister and I shared the three vegan small platters and the vegan Thali main platter. There were three vegan small platters and two big platters plus a dessert. We enjoyed the pulled jackfruit tacos and the Thali a lot. The vegan dumplings were not steamed properly (still hard at the top) but had good flavour, the tofu small platter was really strange in its flavour profile - to us. Three small and one large was plenty of food, they recommend one small and one large per person but two small and one large would’ve been enough for us. No room to try the banoffee tart unfortunately. The restaurant got really busy after 7pm and it has a nice vibe. Fun for shared meals. Has an extensive drinks menu

Delicious food - Edit
My husband and I ate here in early January, it was very busy as it was holiday season even it was late on a Wednesday. Service was good, central location. There were approx 6 items on the menu which were vegan. This place operates a tapas style so sharing is encouraged, we ordered 2 small and 1 large plate between us and that was about the right amount for us. Food was very tasty if a little on the expensive side.

Wonderful meal - Edit
My omnivore friend and I enjoyed a flavourful filling evening meal. We ordered the Halloumi Salad as a starter and devoured it. For our main meal the Thali platter was shared along with a shared Cauliflower Steak platter. Both bursting with flavour, the Thali platter was nicely spicy. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was busy with many customers, we had no table reservations, but had no problems finding a table.

Not as many options nowadays, but still a decent choice for Rotovegas - Edit
There doesn’t seem to be as many vegan options on the menu as there were previously, but still enough options to make it worth the visit. Black bean tacos were tasty, but portion a bit small comparatively to what omnis I was with ordered. Dessert menu is now only 2 things, but thankfully one of those options was vegan.

Great food - Edit
I tried small plate - silken tofu and main dish - roasted pumpkin. Both good and portion size is actually quite big.
Read moreThey recommend one small and one main per person but honestly adding that small plate is too much.
They also had decent selection of non alcoholic drinks that were delish. For someone who doesn’t drink, it’s hard to find cocktail like drinks without having to resort to soda or gross stuff like Shirley temple.

Some hits, some miss - Edit
Very nice aubergine roti.
Read moreAwful cold tofu noodles salad, tiny bits of tofu on soggy cold noodles.
Lovely desert, raspberry tart with chocolate.
Still worth a visit, just avoid soba noodles salad!!!
Pros: Raspberry tart, Aubergine roti
Cons: Soggy cold noodles salad

To have such a heralded name as this you expect fine dining, and fine dining in the form of tapas you will receive. I have held banquets here for prince and pauper and all vegans are welcome

Erm - Edit
Separate vegan menu which is always a good sign but with only two main options, one being cauliflower and the other being a salad I couldn’t help but feel disappointed from the get go (both of these were $28). Settled for starters and sides. The starters were nice however far too expensive for the amount given. Should have been half the price. Portion size was for a child. Also got the side of Mexican corn which was half a corn cut into 5 for $8. Definitely would not recommend this.

Incredible must visit restaraunt! - Edit
This place was incredible! We ordered a feast with little sharing plates from the seasonal menu. The food was so beautifully prepared and flavours balanced perfectly, I was blown away! I even took notes on one of the dishes to try and recreate at home! Lovely warm outdoor sheltered areas with the atmospheric vibes eating on the busy eat street. The staff were very friendly and brought us the vegan menu as soon as we mentioned being vegan. Also everything on the current menu except the bread rolls was also gluten free which was a bonus!!
Read morePros: Separate vegan menu, Lots of gluten free options, Delicious food with amazing service!!

Pretty dam good - Edit
We entered this restaurant with apprehension, It looks like any bistro in eat street Rotorua. We asked for a vegan menu which came. The vegan menu is just a short version of the whole menu with just the vegan options on it. Hmm.
Read moreOk so we order and food comes.
Oh my! Wow. This is good!
The courses get better as we go.
Holy shamolly they nailed the jackfruit roti thing!
We can’t fit in any desert after (possibly over ordering for 2 fat foodies) 2 courses. 2 small plates and 2 main plates.
I would recommend this place.
Also the Malbec is very good.
Pros: Variety, Wine list, Good ingredients
Cons: Menu is short (vegan), $$ but ok
