Best vegan breakfast in town - Edit
We went to the Backyard cafe for breakfast since our hotel couldn’t really offer anything vegan. It was delicious, we had a friendly and good English speaking waitress. The interior is great and a place of peace in this bustling city. We do definitely recommend this place. You can go there all day for bowls, cakes, smoothies, toasts and much more.

Serene and peaceful place - Edit
This place has lots of clearly labelled vegan options. The outdoor seating is very green and cool with lots of ceiling fans. It is very serene and peaceful to sit outside. There is also indoor seating as well. The place makes its own cashew milk. The lentil spaghetti and the tempeh are very tasty. The staff are also very nice.

Great little cafe - Edit
We had two nice meals here in their shaded outdoor patio. It had fans and lovely greenery. There is also an a/c space inside. Menu items were clearly marked vegan and vegetarian. We had the falafel bowl and a smoothie. Both were great! A bit more expensive than other cafes in town. Friendly staff and a nice bathroom. Would give it 5 stars, but it isn’t possible.

Good, clean place. - Edit
Obviously catering to westerners, but food is good. Mushroom and pesto toast had some of the best vegan pesto I’ve ever had! Avo toast was also good, as were smoothies. Expensive for where we are though.

Quiet cafe - Edit
A quiet outdoor patio despite being on a busy street. They have multiple locations. Here I had a protein smoothie (vegan and gluten free). Pricey but peace of mind having a labeled menu.

Confusing - Edit
Was passing so stopped for a drink and a bite to eat
Read moreThe menu is via an online QR code and has the letters R , V and GF next to each dish and drink
No idea what R stands for and not sure if V means veggie or vegan as there appeared to be no key to the letters
Asked two members of staff who couldn’t explain either so we left

Healthy food, lots of vegan choices - Edit
Although they serve meat, the number of vegan choices it pretty extensive, and everything I ate here tasted very good and felt very healthy. It's a nice restaurant too, with a very pleasant outdoor area.
Read moreIt's slightly more expensive than other western restaurants, but not significantly so, although the portions aren't huge. For me it was a good place to come on days I needed to be healthy and to no over-eat, because I perhaps hadn't been so healthy the day before.
Note that tax isn't included in the menu price, which always bugs me.
Pros: Healthy food, Nice space
Cons: Tax isn't included in the price, Not cheap, Serves meat

Great location & space. Food so so... - Edit
After reading many great reviews, we decided to try out this cafe. We struggled to finish our bland salads, the wine helped a bit. Afterwards, we went to Vegetarian restaurant on St 302 so that we could feel that we had a satisfied meal on Xmas Eve! We wouldn't visit this cafe again... sorry. We wanted to really like it.
Read morePros: Good options for organic salads and sandwiches , Serves beer and wine , Great location
Cons: The food is bland, good if U wanted to eat less, The staff lack health etiquette. Coughing/hacking

Lovely Spot! - Edit
I had a really tasty brunch here. I had the avocado toast, a mango smoothie and a coffee. The food was great and tasted fresh, smoothie was so fresh and delicious and decent coffee too. Staff were lovely. The decor/setting is cute and nicely hidden from the busy street with plants.
Read moreIt is on the pricey side but they seem very eco friendly which can introduce big costs for a business so I was happy to support them. A nice little detail is you get your water in a jar which shows they are smart about waste/ recycling.

Nice but… - Edit
Nice place, friendly staff. I was looking for healthy and VG food, I’ve found it. But my salad was like a pile of stuff that didn’t really blend together. I would have never expected the beans to be like baked beans in a sugary tomato sauce, avocado was fatty without any taste.
Read moreBad luck maybe. If I was living here I’ll give another try but I’m not.
