Incredible. Top place to visit in Truro. - Edit
Love this place.
Read moreI had the Reuben. Great texture and flavour.
The loaded fries were huge and the vegan cheese was a rich flavour.
The Tofu katsu curry was crispy, soft inside and the taste was exactly right.
The sticky mushroom medley was the winner though.
Great choice of local beers. A place for Truro to be proud of.
Pros: Entirely Vegan, Wide range of cuisine, Big portions
Cons: None.

Exceptional - Edit
We had the hotdog, carbonara, poutine and cheesy garlic bread. All were exceptional especially the carbonara.
Read moreThe staff were all lovely and helpful. It was clear with how the food was presented on the plate that the chef takes great pride in their craft.
Without a doubt the best Vegan restaurant I have ever eaten in.

One of the best vegan restaurants in the UK - Edit
Just incredible food, so fresh and bursting with flavour. The tagliatelle carbonara was AMAZING. Really lovely and welcoming host who is so passionate about creating varied and high-quality vegan food for both vegans and non-vegans to enjoy

Fantastic selection of vegan dishes - Edit
What a lovely fully vegan restaurant with a very big menu and a great variety of food, making it very tricky to pick.
Read moreWe had their take on 'fish' n chips, so very tasty with all of the trimmings and sauces. Best I've had so far!
We also had their mac'n cheese which was to be honest nothing special, it could do with more sauce and more flavour in our opinion. There are plenty of other tempting things to choose from though.
A very friendly owner who made us feel very welcome.
Pros: Great menu, Very friendly owner

Amazing to find a fully vegan restaurant in a small town like Truro - Edit
The burger I had here was excellent! Any meat eater would be convinced we don’t need animal products to survive and thrive

Wonderful - Edit
We were visiting from Bristol which has a wealth of vegan eateries but were still so impressed by the Cornish Vegan. The menu was very varied, the decor was beautiful, and the service was excellent. We ordered the tagliatelle carbonara and the mushroom fusion with prawn crackers to share; both were delicious but the carbonara was a particular standout. My only very minor complaint is that the venue was quite cold, but with the cost of living crisis who can blame them? All in all, a real vegan gem.

Excellent food, just a bit too pricey - Edit
Food really is excellent, service was great. Unfortunately just a bit too expensive for us to go back again. A burger with no sides or chips was £10.50 and a can of coke was 3.25.

Pros: Food is great, Friendly service, Lots of options

Thank you for sharing your wonderful pictures and praising our food.
Read moreThese are difficult times for hospitality, we do not have bottomless finances that can absorb all the cost increases that we have encountered this year. We are all in this together during these difficult times. We have attempted to absorb cost increases where possible and feel our prices are comparable with most local traders.
As a small independent business we do rely on local trade so it really is a case that if you don’t use us you will lose us.

Totally understand Graham. I’m sure many people will be able to afford to come multiple times, I’m just afraid we can’t😒but thanks again it was a lovely meal :)

Truro’s best - Edit
Ate in vegan restaurants all over the world yet this place is the Gem of the South West. Aren’t we lucky! Even carnivore hubby (family of meat and dairy farmers) was blown away. Worth travelling 100 miles for a weekend just to eat there.

THE BEST BIRTHDAY MEAL OUT TO DATE - Edit
before getting into the chunk of the review I just want to absolutely stress how friendly and welcoming the staff are!!! They made me feel at home and even wrote me a birthday card!!!
Read moreCornish Vegan is by far my favourite vegan restaurant/cafe I have visited to date!
The staff are mega friendly, the set up is cozy (such a lovely atmosphere) and the food is absolutely delicious! Would recommend the ch*ese on the chips and garlic bread, tastes absolutely divine!! Plenty of Gluten Free options!!
Edit: The F*sh and Chips are incredible!! Especially with the Onion rings!! The location is beautiful (especially if you are lucky enough to be seated outside)!

Must do! Lovely Place, Food & People - Edit
If you are somewhere in the area, you have to go to The Cornish Vegan. It is the most lovely place, especially the small garden in the back. We had f‘ish & Chips which was really tasty and a big surprise - it just tasted like fish. The portions are huge, so make sure to be hungry:) The cherry on top are the lovely people! We felt mostly welcome and had nice and interesting chats. We are so happy we went there and would always go back.

Hard to write something original amongst the glowing reviews, but Graham, Ann and Rob are all running a very tight ship here!
Read moreGorgeous firecracker crispy 'pork' dish that I want to try and recreate at home. Tasty kimchi side and rich chocolate cake. Graham came and chatted about the journey for the business which was nice and Ann was just the essence of charm and hospitality.
Loved it. Looking forward to coming back already!
Pros: Staff, Off menu dishes, Unhurried
Cons: Nothing!
