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.
Read moreSuch a shame as really really loved the food.

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

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.

Heaven. So friendly! - Edit
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!

Cons: Nothing!

Best vegan donut ever - Edit
There’s so much I could say about this place. Before I arrived Graham made me aware there was a large party in at the same time so he would try to prioritise our order which made me and my partner arrive with an idea of what we wanted as to speed up the process. The welcome was a warm one and we were seating out the way with enough room to put our babies pram at the side of the table. There was a slight wait to order but when we did the loveliest waitress served us. We were made aware of the special but proceeded to order the Reuben sandwich with poutine and a side of coleslaw and kimchi. The presentation of the food and the flavours were incredible. The sandwich was stacked high with seitan, the poutine was amazing and the cheese in it was delicious and the kimchi was bursting with flavour. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse donut and I’m so glad I did, hands down the best donut I’ve ever had it was full to the brim with chocolate mousse and even my little girl liked a small taste of it. A special mention for the service though, the lady who served us was so cheerful and friendly, making a fuss of our baby and making us feel like we’d been there a thousand times. If I was to ever go back to Truro I’d 100% visit this place again.

We love them! - Edit
Graham recently took this over him and his partner continued to provide amazing food! Their cake selection is less, but their main menu is so varied. My Italian grandmother who is a carnivore and is fussy about her pasta really enjoyed her tagliatelle! I had the fysh and chips - beautiful. They also carry donuts from a place in Falmouth on Friday and Saturday which we pre ordered! They were huge and amazing.

Thank you Lee for submitting your amazing review.
Read moreWe’re looking to add more global inspired dishes to the menu which you will find equally delicious. Our latest addition is from closer to home as we’re now doing our Sunday Roast. Do check as we’re not open every Sunday until later in the year.
As you have mentioned we do get very busy, however we will be opening the garden again this week to offer more seating when it is dry.
We hope to see you back dining with us soon 🤩

Delicious Typical Cornish 🤗 - Edit
The food came very fast.
Read moreThe poutine was the best what I ever ate, and very authentic.
I had also the rubben sandwich, which came with a very good brioche bun!
My girlfriend had the fish & chips. The chips are very chunky, well seasoned and jammy. The „fish“ was with banana blossom and algae. The fish was very good and authentic as the texture is similar to fish.
Pros: Fast food, Good portion, Good chips

Every time we visit Truro we make sure to drop by for lunch, we've never been disappointed by the amazing quality of the food. It was a very busy day when we arrived but the manager was extremely down to earth and managed to slip us in. If you're in the area don't miss the chance to visit!
