Rising Sun Restaurant & Guesthouse

-Food is not super, but OK
-They serve falafel and humus, so proteins!
-Friendly staff and nice atmosphere
-portions are VERY small, so I always had to order two (and I am a small eater!)
-Expensive

Food is okay. A little inconsistent. Coconut curry was pretty good. Salads are pretty acidic but not bad. Got quite a bit on the hummus plate. Pretty expensive but you're on an island, its to be expected. For strict vegans this place seems like a god send when you get off the ferry but there are definitely a few drawbacks. It's closed at super inconvenient times. Was closed 4 times when we walked from the other side of the island to get there. Closed 2 until 5. 3 hours in the middle of the day to "give the staff a break." We got there once at 130 and they'd already taken the menu away. Staff really doesn't care much about the food or veganism. They are just a bunch of western volunteers who get free room and board for working a few hours a day. One partiticular waitress honestly seemed like she was trying her hardest to make it seem like she didn't care about her job. Pretty sure she was French. I know Lots of people on the island end up getting sick and I can't blame this restaurant but the overall hygiene conditions of the area seems like an issue and don't seem like somewhere you should be eating.

asked what their vegan options were, so made it clear. ended up eating a fried triangle with feta in it before noticing. not inpressed. was meant to be vegan :(

Waitress had no concept of vegan. The fritters had egg in them.... the couscous salad was SO bland. Overall food was tasteless and expensive. They were also out of a lot of things.like 3 of the fruits for juice and no falafel. Staff also not very attentive. really disappointing.
