Good options - Edit
Nice place with a relatively large menu. The coffee was nice! We had the tofu sisig which was nice and the beef skewers on noodles which were decent. We also tried the Ube cinnamon roll which was OK.

Phenomenal - Edit
We shared a few dishes: the adobo sa gata and the spicy chorizo and mushroom pasta followed by the turon and Ube. Everything was so good but particularly the adobo! 100% recommend!

PLNT+HRVST - Edit
I absolutely loved PLNT HRVST and plan to stop by repeatedly during my trip. The beef silog was really great and the ube roll was unique and delicious (and not too sweet at all). It’s a winner all around!
Read morePS- I saw a review about this being too mushroom focused but I didn’t have that experience and I’m also a vegan who hates mushrooms. 😉

Honestly delicious food but... - Edit
The prices are too high for what they serve, especially because the menu is misleading.
Read moreThe Chorizo-Mushroom Pasta should "serve 2-3 people", but all you get is a slight bigger than average portion and a laughable large fork to "share" the dish. It comes with one piece of toasted bread instead of garlic bread - and again, one piece and not two or three to share.
The salad with feta which "serves two" would not fill a single person and came with exactly 4 pieces of tofu labled as feta.
After sharing 2 meals with my girlfriend, we had to order another portion of pasta.. we were both still hungry.
Also, all is vegan and organic which we love, but then being unable to serve filtered water which doesn't come in a 300ml tetra pack is a little unsustainable - and pricy.
Again, the food tasted great but it's not what we expected.
When we were almost finished our food, we got "robbed" our fan, because a new group came without saying a word. A short "excuse me" before moving it would have been more pleasant.
Last but not least, one water too much was on the bill when we tried to pay.
When we tried to explain that the food wasn't how we expected it, the server just laughed ( i think she didn't understand - not her fault)

A lot of mushroom! - Edit
If you are a vegan like me who does not like mushroom then this might not be the place for you (mainly the dinner options that I am referring to). But that’s subjective anyways.
Read moreStaff could be paying better attention to guests and were distracted although it wasn’t busy.
Food altogether was good, my favourite part was the dessert!

Amazing food - Edit
If you are visiting El Nido, a trip to Lio beach and PLNT HRVST is a must. I was finally able to try Filipino dishes here! The vegan egg rolls were my favorite thing we ordered. I wasn’t a huge fan of the ube cinnamon roll but it was fun to something new.

Great service, decent food - Edit
Nice place with fantastic and attentive staff. The food is alright, some better than others. Ate here a few times and the highlights were the tofu sisig with garlic rice, ube latte and chocolate cake. All delicious!
Read moreI wasn't a fan of the sweet filipino spaghetti, the sauce was very heavy with lots of fake meat and barely any cheese sauce. The chorizo and mushroom pasta was much better. The bahn mi was ok, bread felt a bit cheap. The fruit shakes were great. Chocolate cookie was dry and cakey.
It's quite annoying how the majority of the menu is served in portions good for 2-3 people especially when you're eating there alone. Despite this the portions aren't that big and makes it harder to try multiple dishes in one sitting.

A Vegan Paradise with Fresh, Homemade Delights! - Edit
This place is a true gem for vegan food lovers! Not only do they make incredible fresh pasta in-house, but they also offer a variety of other delicious vegan dishes. Every bite is packed with flavor, and you can taste the quality in every dish. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. Whether you're vegan or just love great food, this spot is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

Super! - Edit
Wir waren zweimal dort und es hat super lecker geschmeckt. Als Vorspeise hatten wir die fresh spring rolls und als Hauptgericht die spicy chorizo pasta. Beides hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Der Preis ist etwas höher aber die Portionen sind dementsprechend groß. 10/10 would recommend.😄

Good food😄 - Edit
Place is fully vegan which is great!
Read moreWe had the “chorizo” pasta and banh mi. The pasta was very simple as in a garlic pasta with barely any chorizo. A little underwhelming. The banh mi was very good with a nice lemongrass flavor.
Restaurant is nice and kind staff.
Honestly nothing bad to say but nothing amazing/exciting either.
Pros: Restaurant is beautiful , Good food nothing special though , Nice staff
Cons: Underwhelming flavor and ingredients in dishes

Incredible food on Lio Beach - Edit
It’s located on Lio Beach (happy cow app shows somewhere different) & is a great vegan spot right next to the beach. It’s recently opened and the staff were so friendly and helpful. It’s slightly more on the expensive side (430 pesos for a main) but absolutely worth it. I had the lemongrass “beef” noodles which was 10/10, one of the best vegan meals I’ve had travelling. My boyfriend tried the spicy chorizo pasta with mushrooms which he said was great. We got 2 cookies to-go which were so delicious & satisfied my sweet craving! Great place to eat if you’re planning a day out at the beach.
