Forest is Fabulous! - Edit
Visiting from Melbourne, Australia, we have been to the prominent Vegan restaurants many times over. So pleased to have finally dined at Forest. Exceptional service with interesting food. All bar one dish was either Vegan or had a good option. Would absolutely recommend.

Wonderful Imaginative Food - Edit
Went for my husband's birthday on Saturday. Booked a week in advance to be sure of a table. Ourselves and our friends loved the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommend anyone giving this place a try. The chef is extremely skillful. Most dishes vegan-friendly and surprisingly ALL THE DESSERTS were vegan and utterly delicious.

Incredible flavorsome combinations - Edit
Loved it here! All dishes well thought trough and cooked straight to the end - had e.g. a sweet potato with peas and a marmite cream perfectly incorporated by a bell pepper and rosemary oil. All homemade, just awesome - so the crew was as well!
Read moreGood for me: nearly all of the dishes are anyway vegan or can be easily veganized (one halloumi dish was the exception for the current menu).
Wines as well are very good, try the orange wine - loved it!
Pros: Flavor pairings, Food quality , Friendly team

Beautiful - Edit
The menu is an amazing, creative combination of seasonal produce. Most of the food was vegan or could be adapted to be vegan. Cherry ice cream with olive oil drizzle, who thought that up? Give them a pay rise because it was delicious.

Best vegan place for somewhere special! - Edit
Such a special place. The produce is sourced from kalmarna organic garden and the menu changes weekly. The chef/ owner is so creative and talented. I feel that it's like fine dining quality food in an unpretentious and friendly environment. You need to book in advance and they do a 3 course set menu. You can choose vegan or vegetarian. If you are vegan please try this place - so much love and care put into everything, which sadly I feel is rare for vegan food! This place is very very special.

Impressive and innovative vegan food - Edit
Forest is super impressive and I love that their menu changes so often. It's some of the most unique vegan food I've tried. It's 3 courses yet you don't feel too full as the food is light yet well-seasoned and satisfying. 100% recommend it!
Read moreCons: Tables are quite close together so not private
