Good food but plastic use can be improved!

Generally, food is good, local and trying the meals of my friend I have no doubt that many of them are delicious.

However I was left a bit disappointed with the PMK bowl which I think could be improved: I didn't really appreciate the cold noodles and the acidity of the marinated cabbage and pickles (too acidic for me I didn't expect it). Marinated tofu was fine but not special, a bit dry. Sweet potato and beans was a good mix.

I ordered an energy juice which was very good but I was quite disappointed to see it coming in a plastic container (supposed to be biodegradable but everything is no?) and especially a plastic straw (for those who don't know this is killing marine life especially - so not really vegan?!)

I know i'm a bit critical here but considering the other mostly very positive reviews I hope this one can help the owners to make improvements for those vegans who care about zero waste. I'm open to put a better review and delete this one when there'll be no more plastic at PMK :)

Thanks for taking this into consideration.

Pros: Usually great food, Local products, Nice atmosphere

Cons: A bit pricey, Still uses plastic straws

Great place great food!

What a wonderful restaurant a nice meal! Met the owner a few times at the restaurant, and he is such an amazing a dedicated person! Some restaurants barely have owners that even visit their establishment, but that is not the case here. And it shows!

Ethical business, food tastes great, staff is caring and attentive. Been there a lot and will be back!

Pros: Ethical, owner that really cares, great selection of food options

Cons: can be busy some times (is that really bad though?

Pros: Out door seating area, Food was excellant. Local and thus fresh., Ace service from extremely helpful staff.

Fantastic!

PMK is fantastic! The food is always good, the venue is nice and the staff is friendly. My non vegan friends really enjoy it too. I love the weekend brunch and donuts. I went to one of their beer and vegen cheese tasting events which was great.

Pros: Delicious food, Brunch, Variety

rocked my world

It's so refreshing to go to a restaurant like this where I know everything is vegan and the menu items are so good that it's hard to pick just one. It's pricey but then again it is a gourmet restaurant with organic and locally sourced food. I recommend it to all my friends and family

Truly the best!

Traveling again with work, this time in London. Checked my Happy Cow. Cow says try Plant Matter, looks great. Cow was right. I LOVED this place. If you get the lady server with the cute nose ring and the sweet personality, that's Kelsey and she is marvellous. Kelsey introduced me to Booch and it was delicious. Will have to pick some up before heading home (it's made locally). So it was hard to choose what to have, everything looks great on the menu. They got great ratings on their burg and I love burgers. But in the end I had to have the baked Mac n cheese. My picture doesn't do it justice. It was today's special that came with roasted green beans and red pepper and some fresh sprouts. Really really good. Had to thank the chefs for making me such a good dinner. These people got it together in all the best ways. I can see why they're winning awards.

Pros: wide menu variety , lovely sit in restaurant, good service

Cons: none that I could see

Excellent

This place is great. Prices are higher, but I am happy to pay them every once and a while as there isn't a ton of fully Vegan places in London. The staff here is lovely. I've been multiple times and on one occasion we had to wait a bit due their business and they approached us with apologies and offered a free dessert. I absolutely love all the breakfast and brunch options, every single thing was delicious. As for regular meals, we haven't found one yet that we didn't thoroughly enjoy. If it was just a little bit cheaper I would go on a more regular basis.

Pros: All Vegan, great service

Cons: Expensive

Thanks for the feedback and we are glad you enjoyed the food- did you know that we only use organic ingredients including spices and oils and even reverse osmosis water to make all of our food? We also make everything from scratch every day using locally sourced items wherever we can. We work very hard to make our food from the finest ingredients and sources while pricing it competitively with most restaurants. We have very high standards for what we will serve and these do make the food cost a little more - but we know it's worth it.

Delicious, Healthy Option

This place was absolutely fantastic. I had a burger with a side of soup and a kombucha. They had a wide variety of food from noodles bowls, to burgers, to dessert. Everything was delicious and I would recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Delicious, Healthy, Lots of options

Amazing each and every time

This place is a must visit! Having a full menu that is 100% vegan is of course amazing, but add on super friendly and welcoming staff and it makes this place a 5-star. I've been on a number of occasions with family and friends and have never had a complaint.

Pros: Healthy, Delicious, Enjoyable outing

The staff is very friendly. However, even if they weren't, you'd still have to go because the food is just THAT good. Great mix of unique dishes with great choice of flavours. Healthy and flavourful!

Pros: Breakfast Menu, Dinner Menu

Great, Great, Great

Great food. Great staff. Great atmosphere. I was most impressed at how they were anxious to customize a meal with substitutions to meet my tastes. Even though I'm not a coffee drinker, I was there late morning, and the were many dine in and carryout customers who showed up for coffee. Good bake goods also.

Terrific

My family dropped by on a recent trip into London and were just blown away; the food is really first rate, the service was excellent and the place has a great feel. It is the finest Vegan restaurant I've ever been to.

The prices are to be fair a little on the higher side, but the peace of mind of knowing you can order whatever you want and that it will be really good is worth a little extra!

Pros: 100% Vegan, Excellent quality food

Cons: A little pricey!

Great vegan restaurant in Wartley village

I think Plant Matter Kitchen is great! I have been a number of times since they opened their doors and have never been disappointed.
The shepherd's pie is delicious!
I really like that they serve local craft beer and cater to local small businesses (teas, etc.) which can be found at the storefront.
Everyone at PMK is really friendly and know their stuff. They have always been happy to make recommendations and take the time to ensure you are happy with your meal.

Pros: Customer service, Delicious food options, Support local businesses

Awesome Vegan Restaurant!

We were so excited to find this new addition to the veg scene in London while visiting this year!
It did not disappoint.
Delicious food. Great service. Excellent atmosphere.
I was impressed by the menu options, especially for the shots, being someone who is into superfoods and superherbs. The only thing that could improve their selection would be to add some superfood/superherb hot elixirs to the roster!

Pros: excellent selection, delicious, great location

Cons: A bit pricey

Finally! A perfect vegan experience!

Everything about this place is great! First of all their is lots of space. Which is a good thing as they were crazy busy! The waitress who sat me down and served me was enthusiastic and clearly in love with her job. But it was the food that made the greatest impression. Without a doubt one of the best, or possibly the very best vegan food I have ever tasted! As it was a brunch,I had the Spanish Omelette with Tempeh bacon (so good!) and Hash Browns. I assure you it all tasted more then great! Around me Thierry was a pleasant buzz of conversation, in intrusive music played in the background, and the atmosphere was generally cheery. I will definitely reckoned to everyone and return first chance I get! Good work guys!

Pros: Roomy Awesome food.Cheerful staff.Great location.

Cons: None!

Fantastic Lunch!

I was recently in London for a university convocation. We chose Plant Matter Kitchen for a celebratory lunch since all 5 of us are vegetarian. It was fantastic! The mac & cheese called out to most of us, but one member of our party chose the almost-raw wrap. All of us were thrilled with our meals! The mac & cheese was so delicious and creamy and so full of flavour that I think I could live on it! We all tasted a smoothie and shared a cookie and devoured our salads too. My only wish is that there was a Plant Matter Kitchen closer to my home (near Kingston, ON)!

Pros: excellent food, healthy yet delicious, friendly staff

Cons: too far away from my home to eat here every day!

A vegan restaurant where delicious and nutritious co-exist

I stopped in at PMK for a coffee during morning ‘break’ time. The staff were very energetic, friendly and welcoming, and convinced me to try the vegan chocolate chip banana bread. I was intrigued and at the same time, concerned about how it would taste. I was a believer after just one bite—it was full of flavour and was certainly the best banana bread I’ve ever eaten. Normally, I would have felt guilty for indulging in such a treat, but because it was vegan, I felt good for having a snack that tasted great and wasn’t full of empty calories. It was a pleasure to find a vegan restaurant where delicious and nutritious co-exist. Also worth noting was that it wasn’t a tiny slice of bread, but a “personal” sized loaf that was a large portion and could have easily been shared.

The coffee was the perfect accompaniment, and I was impressed when offered the choice of coconut or cashew milk—both made in-house!

I’ll return to PMK as the menu expands to try more of what this Wortley Village gem has to offer.

Pros: Vegan, Delicious, Great Service

Cons: Need More Menu Items
