Warm atmosphere - Edit
I disagree with previous reviewer about the price. I think £15 for 3.5 course meal is VERY generous and you leave the place stuffed and very happy. The owner is very kind lady that creates a warm and homey atmosphere. The food is delicious and always different makes you want to come back more often.
Pros: New menu every time, Cheap, Sirene location
Cons: Would be nice if they run more workshops in ENgli

awesome experiences - Edit
One of the best dining experiences in my life, the food is prepared and served in a home made way, full of flavour, variety and intention. The menu is usually fixed with a couple of options to choose from on the day. Make a reservation in advance so they can prepare your meal.

Highly recommended - Edit
The place makes you feel at home. It is very relaxing and the food is absolutely great. The quantity is good and the options they offer, for example for desert, are delicious. The people in charge are also extremely friendly and willing to clear up any doubt you might have regarding how they make the food. I will definitely go back.

A special place - Edit
This was undoubtedly an excellent surprise! Let's start with the place. This is no ordinary place, the moment you cross the gate you feel immediately at home. The scent of nature, the cosiness of the interiors, the sympathy of the people come together in a whole peaceful experience. The food was great and we loved the dessert! We will definitely come back!
Pros: Friendly environemnt , Great people, Lovely food
Cons: A little far from the city center

Was Okay - Good - Edit
Maybe i was expecting more, but all i can say it was good, but not very good.
Felt like mommy would cook vegan for me ;-), really nice and kind. But overall the taste was not overwhelming, it was simply good. Very good though was the price - really worth a visit (but behind other 4 or 5cow locations)
Pros: Kindness , Price

relaxing lunch spot - Edit
Wonderful food! Definitely worth the stop! The staff is super friendly and welcoming and the cooking is excellent. There isn't a menu, you get what's on the board that day. But I can't imagine anyone being disappointed (or leaving hungry). Desserts are amazing too. All this wonderfulness for 15 euros (lunch).
Pros: delicious , all vegan , reasonably priced
Cons: a little hard to find
