Tasty, fresh food! Careful with allergens.

Had a lovely meal at the Folio, staff were super understanding of my dietary requirements. The tofu was so flavourful and delicious - lots of vegan options available. My family said my meal was tastier than their (non-vegan) choice 😊

Dinner and breakfast

We stayed in this hotel and had a lovely meal here, it's a step up from a lot of hotel restaurants. It was lively on a Friday night and the adjoining bar is good for drinks, cocktails etc.
Expensive crisps in the bar did taste like Walkers!
I had a vegan soup and my partner had veggie arancini. Bread was complementary.
For mains we had tofish and chips, portions were large, so no room for dessert.
Oddly we were given the bill after mains without being asked if we wanted anything else, it wasn't late!
At the buffet breakfast nothing is labelled as vegan or vegetarian. I requested vegan sausages and also had soya milk porridge. There are extra options on the à la carte ment.
I was told muffins are vegan.

Best vegan options in Cambridge

As there are no longer any fully vegan restaurants left in Cambridge, the Folio Bar is definitely the best venue for vegans at the moment. Plenty of main course options and over half of the desserts are vegan. Had the tofish & chips followed by apple crumble and custard… both top tier 👌🏻

Pros: Plenty of options, Helpful staff, Quality tasty food

Excellent afternoon tea and dinner

Went for afternoon tea, I put in the special requests box about being vegan when booking but wasn't sure exactly what to expect but it was excellent! The waitress knew we were vegan and offered us alternative milk with our tea, and when the food was brought out, she explained what all the foods were.

There was a large selection of sweet and savoury options, including cakes, sandwiches and a scone each. Everything was very yummy and I thought it was very thoughtfully created, for example, we had a chickpea arancini while there was no arancini on the regular afternoon tea menu so they made specially for us - not just removing non vegan ingredients from the regular foods (it was also delicious!).

It was a good amount of food and staff were also very attentive offering refills of tea and water so you definitely left satisfied.

Overall a very lovely place for afternoon tea :)

Visited again for a meal out for my birthday. Again me a my boyfriend really liked it! My boyfriend had the burger which he thoroughly enjoyed, and I had the tofish and chips. The tofu was really flavourful and did taste similar to fish, especially with the sauce, very nice and tasty. We were too full for desserts but there were multiple options for vegans there too.

Great restaurant for vegans, I would rate 5 stars if I was able

A nice dinner option

We wanted a nicer place for dinner than a high street chain. And this fit the bill. We shared a tofish and chips, which was very very good. And we each had a big salad with tofu (a good quality tofu too). They also had a tofu steak that sounded very good and a variety of other clearly marked vegan options. All sounded good. We didn’t look at desserts. Service was warm, friendly and efficient. And the ambiance was good too

A Delightful Culinary Experience at The Folio Bar & Kitchen

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Folio Bar & Kitchen in Cambridge, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

The menu is thoughtfully curated with a variety of vegan and vegetarian options that are clearly labeled, which I greatly appreciated. I tried the tofu scallops and the vegan burger, both of which were delicious and beautifully presented. The flavors were innovative and satisfying, showcasing the chefs’ creativity and skill.

The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. The service was prompt, and the team was knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations.

Overall, The Folio Bar & Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone in Cambridge looking for a memorable dining experience with fantastic vegan and vegetarian options. I can’t wait to return and try more of their delightful dishes!

Wide variety of vegan options

Great modern restaurant that caters to vegans just as well as they do for others. Especially impressed by the Edamame Risotto and the Tofu Steak on the a la carte menu. Vegan afternoon tea was also available, if you give them a day’s notice.

Pros: Tofu Steak, Afternoon Tea, Vegan desserts
