Lovely Independent Restaurant - Edit
Love this place, have eaten here many times, always great. We enjoyed the Eat Out to Help Out on Bank Holiday Monday a few weeks ago, so it was amazing value. Myself and omni OH both had the Beyond Meat Burger, just delicious and love the fresh crunchy coleslaw they serve. Unfortunately I didn't have room for dessert.

Vegan Heaven!! - Edit
Loads of choice, delicious food, great restaurant, fab staff. Healthy options as well. It’s so good we’d highly recommend. The app wouldn’t let me leave 5 stars as they sell meat but it’s the best place we’ve eaten in the city. It was full up even on a Sunday night so I’d recommend booking!
Read morePros: Delicious vegan options , Healthy options too, Fantastic staff
Cons: Wouldn’t let me leave 5 🌟as they sell meat

Vegan range samey. - Edit
Vegan range very Seitan heavy which is good for those who can eat it. Being GF too it is rare for me to find somewhere that caters less for GF and more for Vegan. I was disappointed in the choice and corresponding price.
Read moreI ended up with a puy lentil salad. Which I can and do eat at home. When I go out I want something new and exciting. If you want simple vegan food and don't need GF this is the place for you. Especially if you want to sit on school chairs.
Pros: Vegan options
Cons: Value for money is poor.

Tasty find. Recommended - Edit
Service was good. Food was great. Seitan ribs, fried 'chicken' and many more options. Served in hipster style setting with food in baskets and on trays rather than plates.
Read morePros: Tasty 'meaty' type vegan food
Cons: Not a place if you're looking for healthy food

Friendly service - Edit
Friendly, helpful service and accommodating of special diets. Very pleasant, relaxed interior. Food tasty although very oily and salty (had the vegan fish and chips). Side portions of chips come with a lot of salt already on them. Good place to come with non vegans.

Delicious and lots of options - Edit
Lots of options to please everyone. Had the vegan fish and chips which was lovely and the cauliflower (not as exciting without the yoghurt dip). Friends had risotto (can be made vegan) and vegan chicken pieces which were also great. Great service.

Great food for Vegans and meat eaters - Edit
In York for the day so visited here. I’m a vegan but my family aren’t and it’s quite difficult to find a restaurant that caters well for both.
Read moreThis is definitely it. I really appreciated having lot of choice for myself without my fam complaining about having to eat tofu etc.
I had the cauliflower starter and the vegan fish and chips...delicious!
Pros: Lots of vegan options clearly marked , Lovely restaurant and interior, Attentive waiter
Cons: Long wait for food, No vegan ciders

Wonderful!! - Edit
A year ago I got to Source just before they closed for the evening so I missed out. I've been looking forward to being sent up to York for work again (so I can go to Source) and wow, it was worth every single second of waiting for a year.
Read moreI had the Blooming Onion (a whole roast onion with sauce and pomegranate seeds), then the old faithful of tofish and chips. Food was amazing, service was helpful and friendly (thanks Gillian for making me feel welcome). I'll be back and won't leave it a year!!!
Pros: Great choice for vegans, Vegan beer, Awesome food and service
Cons: York is too far away from Bristol!!

Superb vegan and veggie menu - Edit
Would give 5 stars if allowed. Came here for both dinner and brunch while on a trip to York and both were amazing. When we were seated the waiter asked if we were veggie/vegan and was happy to give recommendations. A great range of food for everyone as well as a good drink menu well labelled with vegan options.
Read morePros: Vegan/veggie section on menu , Lovely staff , Menu states most things can be made gluten free

Heavenly tacos, buddha bowl and vegan camembert! - Edit
Vegan friendly, healthy ingredients, fantastic, unexpected flavours!
Read moreThe tacos, at £14.50 price point, are a magnificent experience. Packed with 10 ingredients they taste fresh and exciting, striking perfect balance of sour and savory. No trace of boring fillers or chunky mock meats! Fries that come as a side are freshly made with high quality smoked paprika seasoning and it shows.
The buddha bowl is a feast with delicious kimchi, sour mushrooms and toasted avocado.
Last but not least, vegan camembert with kimchi is a glorious starter! Smooth, creamy cheeseness, with grilled bread and that really good kimchi to cleanse your palate.
100% coming back with friends.

Pros: Fresh and exciting flavours, Nice interior, Good service

Lots of choice, big portions! - Edit
Great selection of vegan options - I had the taco tray and they certainly didn’t skimp on the portion size! It’s a very small place so it’s worth booking in advance.

Lots of vegan choices, lovely atmosphere - Edit
We came here on a trip to York on Holy Saturday, without pre-booking, and they managed to squeeze us in which was lucky. Despite being busy, the place has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Read moreMy husband ordered the Source Platter and the Tofu 'fish' and chips, I had the Mushroom Bourguignon and my daughter had mac n cheese (veggie). All our meals were delicious, the food did take a while to arrive, but everything was so fresh and tasty we didn't mind waiting. The dessert menu is separate and we had the Source Chocolate and Almond Mousse and the Peanut Butter Sundae, again, both delicious!
I highly recommend this place, just wish we lived in York!
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Relaxed atmosphere , Friendly staff
Cons: Expensive

Lovely food, better than expected! - Edit
Online they seem to have a few vegan options to try, but when I went in they actually had far more vegan menus on their item including a full dessert menu that appeared to be only vegan. Staff were lovely. We had the hummus, fried chicken and chips & mushroom risotto. All amazing. Although you can tell it isn’t real, the chicken is very realistic if you’re the type to be bothered by that however :)
Read morePros: Lots of clearly labelled vegan options, Nice staff, Nice location
Cons: Some dishes sell out fairly quickly

Outstanding vegan menu! - Edit
Source is such a gem for vegan food. They've put a lot of effort into creating really unique and tasty vegan dishes, including (at the time of writing) seitan ribs, 'fish' and chips, and crispy fried 'chicken'. The whole dessert menu is also vegan so you won't be stuck for choice! The food was delicious, the service fantastic, and it's a lovely atmosphere. They also run a small deli in the city where you can get incredible sandwiches and cakes! A really excellent spot which I couldn't recommend more.
Read morePros: Delicious food, Loads of well thought out vegan options, Lovely atmosphere

Vegan food that tastes as good as it looks!! - Edit
First of all, a few details about the restaurant:
Read moreSource is conveniently located in the heart of the city and all the ingredients used are locally sourced! Even though Source is specialized in slow meats, superfoods and vegetarian dishes, they also have a menu that is entirely vegan.😄Despite its simple decor and relativelly small space, the restaurant has a clean and inviting atmosphere and the staff was accomodating and friendly.
As starters to share, I ordered cauliflower florets roasted with turmeric, chilli and ginger and garnished with fresh rocket leaves and pomegranate seeds. They came served with a yoghurt dip. As I do not consume dairy products I did not try the dip but boyfriend did and approved! :)
As for the main, I decided to order a mouth-watering and hearty ratoutille. It consisted of oven baked aubergine, green and yellow zucchinis with a super yummy red pepper and tomato sauce. It came served with some traditional bread, which I kindly asked to be toasted since it was supposed to be "warm" according to the menu. It was absolutely scrumptious and its aroma would leave you drooling trust me!
Given the quality and portion sizes of the dishes above, I found them to be fairly priced. I must also add that we did have to wait quite some time for our dishes but as soon as they arrived, we could understand why. It was visible how carefully they were prepared. Plus, it was totally worth the wait because the food was just excellent and wonderfully presented. So, if you guys happen to be in York and want to eat some great vegan food, I'd totaly recommend this restaurant. :)
Pros: Delicious and well present food, Entire vegan menu, Central location
Cons: Limited seating might be a problem during weekend
