Great Vegan Restaurant - Edit

As in the title, great vegan restaurant. Focused on serving fresh, healthy and plant-based dishes. We went there twice during our stay in Monaco - for dinner and breakfast. On both occasions the food was delicious. Staff was very kind and accommodating (they even stayed open to serve us dinner when we arrived at 9.55pm - the kitchen closes at 10.00 pm)

Pros: Delicious plant-based food, Majority of food os gluten free, Opened for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Cons: Doesn't serve alcohol (not REALLY a con), Quite expensive, Juices are really small for the price

great to see a vegan option in Monaco - Edit

Really pleased to have a 100% vegan option in Monaco! At the back of the menu there is a full English menu which was very helpful. The risotto and chocolate milk were very nice, unfortunately we bought a yoghurt and granola pot to take away with us but when we opened it the next morning it was incredibly off and sour (even while kept in a fridge), so perhaps a caution with the longevity of the takeaway items.

It's a must do if you are in Monaco! - Edit

As a Happy Cow ambassador I'm always seeking out new vegan restaurants to try while travelling or on holiday.
Decided to go to Eqvita in Monaco for afternoon tea, after reading about the exciting opening of this new 100% vegan restaurant in April this year. The restaurant is owned by vegan tennis champion Novak Djokovic.
First impressions - the atmosphere is chic but calm and comfortable. Staff, friendly and attentive.
There is indoor seating as well as a large fresh outdoor space with a mix of sofas and tables. 
The menu is extensive and I will definitely return and try the mains in the future. Before I hear you gasp about Monaco prices these are surprisingly reasonable, for example Lasagne with nuts and tomatoes 16 euros or Pasta Bon Appetit with pine nuts and capers 14 euros.
As for the desserts we tried – 9 and 12 euros - they were delicious, sweet and tasty without leaving you feeling heavy or in a sugar coma! I visited with my aunt who lives nearby.
We tried the chocolate tart and the mango cheesecake. Both had great texture and my chocolate tart went perfectly with my almond milk cappuccino. Bliss....
It was late in the day so we had a cheeky glass of the organic champagne as well.
The wines and juices and other drinks available looked great too. Some of the freshly made juices had fun names, such as Novak's Secret or Jelena's glow. Could be a way to improve your tennis!
Maybe a nice idea in the future to introduce a nice organic barrel lager or fruit beer (sorry my personal weakness) to accompany the drinks menu. 
All in all a lot of thought has gone into this concept, even down to the coconut & palm  sugar available on the tables.

It's a must do if you are in Monaco. Recommend.

Pros: Reasonable Prices, 100% vegan , Great location

Cons: Music would be nice in the outside area, More plant based milk choices.

veganvirtues 04 Sep 2016 - "The restaurant is owned by vegan tennis champion Novak Djokovic." Maybe owned by Djokovic, but vegan he IS NOT.If you do your home work first, before posting go to his personal web page and you can easily read he states he eats fish sardines and anchovies, eats chicken and consumes bee vomit 'honey'. PETA says he is vegan, but they always like to promote vegetarian people to broaden their support base. Many celebs are certainly not vegan and Djokovic is not.
