Sova Vegan Butcher

I went there twice and took the kebab both times. It is so good, the seitan has a nice smoked flavour but doesn't really taste like meat, which I'm glad about. Salad on the side and vegetables in the kebab, just perfect. Bring non veggie friends, they'll love it!
The food is filling but not stuffing and there's always space left for a nice dessert (I tried the chocolate/avocado mousse and the cheesecake, both delicious!).
I highly recommend this restaurant!!! And I'm afraid I'll have to go back to try their other dishes (good thing that the price is really ok, around 10€ for a main course, 5€ for the dessert) :P

Is not often you get such a wide range of options when eating out and vegan. Lovely restaurant, great staff and the food was excellent.

Pretty good variety of recipes to choose from.

Ventilation should be improved, very steamy inside, had to wash all clothes afterwards to get food smells out of them

I wrote this review on my Vegan app and thought I would share it on here also...



Living in a world where we are a smaller minority can be difficult sometimes.
I mean, how many times have you only been able to order some form of veg and potato when eating out with friends  We are restricted at times when dining out, but doing a bit of research really can find you some hidden gems.

I recently took a trip to Ireland... home of the potato 凜 so I knew I'd be looked after on the food front. I looked on trip advisor and other sites and found this all vegan restaurant at called

⭐️⭐️⭐️"Sova - Vegan Butcher"⭐️⭐️⭐️

it has been the best place I've ever eaten. No exaggeration! Just being able to walk into a restaurant look at a menu and think I have no restrictions.

As if the food wasn't incredible and creative enough the staff where unbelievable. All vegan and truly was interested in how you found the food. They was also asking if we where vegan and how we find the lifestyle. It was such a pleasant atmosphere to be inn being surrounded by so many like minded people.

There was meals involving seitan steaks, king skallops, spicy mushroom gyoza, cashew cheesecake even down to blakpudding crisp! You can purchase individually priced meals or have the choice of 3 courses for €24.
If anyone has visited Ireland before it is a very expensive city with most breakfasts alone costing around €12-15 so this was super cheap too!

To top everything off the restaurant also allowed corkage fee for €4 so we purchased a bottle of prosecco for €8 from the local off licence. We had previously left a bar before coming to Sova where I was charged €8.50 for a glass!

It really is a beautiful and minimal restaurant but with a massive heart and such talent for creativity with vegan food. I really hope they open more restaurants, hopefully one in my home town.
So if your ever taking a trip to Ireland this place is not to be missed. Even give them a follow on Instagram and check out more images of their food.

Big Love for Sova Vegan Butcher
I've never felt so at home when dining out

I would be a regular at this restaurant if I lived in Dublin, but at least I managed to eat there three times during my four day visit to Dublin :) Delicious food, interesting dishes, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. I brought my non-vegan friends and they loved it too. I highly recommend the "turkey" roulades!

Well worth a visit, one of the best vegan restaurants I have been to. For 25 euros one could get a three course meal and it is worth your money! The kind of food you don't make at home because it is too much work, the plating was also very attractive! Nothing negative to report about the place, also my non veggie boyfriend was completely mind blown by the food and was insisting of going there again some time soon. Well deserved 5 stars.

This place rocks! We tried the seitan doner kebab and the pull (not pork) pork bap. There were lots of elements to both dishes (salad, pickles, sauces...) and every single bite was different and delicious. The portions were quite large for a very decent price and the staff was super friendly. We'll be back!

This is a really nice little restaurant. The first thing you notice is how busy it is, which is a great sign. We got a three course meal for two and espressos for less than 60 euro. Great value for what was essentially vegan fine dining. They do not serve alcohol here, but offer corkage for €4. The service was fast and friendly, and most importantly the food was delicious. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Super Experience!

Definitely one of the best vegan restaurants I've been to!
We tried the Irish Breakfast and everything was so delicious!
Then we had a cheesecake for dessert, so yummy as well!
And expect to be served huge portions haha
Staff was very friendly too

Have eaten here many times, great to have fine dining for vegans in Dublin. The menu/food is fantastic and the staff are friendly and good at their jobs.

I also am a fan of places where I can bring my own drinks like here.

I came to Dublin from Cork twice in one week to go to this restaurant. Absolutely amazing! Evan my non vegan dad and sister are raving about this delicious food! Please open up another one in Cork! I would eat there every day!

Very tasty food,super friendly staff!

We ordered only one small dish here, just to try, but that tasted very promising. Hope to be back here some day for a bigger bite. Definitely recommended based on the soup we had!

Interior is simple but cozy and staff is very friendly.

The Vegan Butcher is back, bigger than ever and this time, IT'S FOR KEEPS.

He has found a permanent place in Pleasants street (off Camden street) and it's wonderful.
