Lovely evening meal

A warm welcome for us and note had been taken that there was a birthday so a little card awaited. The food was delicious and having ordered a sharing board plus 4 small dishes, we were stuffed. My husband had his desert (Greek donuts!) and we shuffled back to the car contentedly.
Sharing board
2 dishes
2 sides
2 draft pints
Free desert = £52

Pros: Tasty, fresh food. , Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. , Central location

Cons: Finding / paying for parking before 6

Yum yum

Cosy restaurant, choice of small plates and sides, which is great as gives you lots of variety. I had the spiced apple juice which was delicious, followed by three plates - a chickpea and spinach stew, roast ‘dirty’ potatoes in black olive tapenade, and crispy coconut tofu with a chilli mayo. All gorgeous, but 3 was just a bit too big and defeated me! Finished with a chai latte which was rich and thick - like a pudding itself.

Pros: All vegan!, Lots of variety

excellent

Was a bit dubious about the random mix of food on the menu but we chose all the Mexican style dishes and they were a real treat. the quesadillas and chickpea stew were especially good and the mushroom oyster dish very original. a brilliant drinks selection too.

Nice but nothing special

We had the waffles with mushroom and spinach but there was no spinach and cheese eh american pancakes. Bother we’re nice but nothing special. We both had mochas which were very nice in cute glass mugs. Also only 1 baby seat but there were 4 babies there. Not sure if that was a one off. Sweet pancakes and ere the best out of our picks

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Small menu

Best roast in Cambridge

Been to the Tipsy in Norwich a few times. Almost fainted with happiness when found out they were coming to Cambridge. Just the best vegan food!

Stunning Roast

An absolute dream of a Sunday lunch. We both went for the seitan roast and every single part of it was delicious, so well cooked. We’ll definitely be coming back as I was so sad I didn’t have room for dessert!The staff were so helpful and attentive and it was just such a lovely experience.

One of the best vegan restaurants in the UK

We loved everything. Very good selection of small plates. We liked all but our favourites were: crispy coconut tofu, arancini balls and quesadillas.
Great cocktails and non alcoholic drinks. It was a cold night so we really enjoyed a hot spiced apple juice when we got in.
My husband cannot eat wheat and we were pleasantly surprised that most dishes didn't have gluten so he had plenty of choice.
Service was also really friendly so it was overall a fantastic experience.

Pros: Amazing food, Good selection of dishes and drinks, Lots of gluten free options

Cons: It's not near my house :)

Wonderful food and great staff

We were recommended to this restaurant by friends who are neither vegan or vegetarian, which is unusual! We found the staff very helpful, friendly and efficient, offering advice but not pushy. The food was presented beautifully and tasted fantastic. We will definitely be back, and happily bring non-vege friends.

Pros: All vegan, Non-vegans love it too

Love the tapas and cocktail combo

This place would be great for a quiet date night or a big group of friends and feels like the type of place non-vegan would still enjoy. It would also be a nice spot for some light bites with cocktails.

There's lots of variety in the menu, and the small tapas-style portions mean it's easy to share dishes and try several different options. My favourite dish was the cauliflower tacos, which were spicy and full of flavour.

Definitely a great addition to Cambridge Quayside!

Pros: Varied menu, All vegan, Cocktails

Amazing variety of dishes

Went with 3 friends and ordered 12 dishes in total (tapas style), all of them were delicious and creative and it was nice to have a range of dishes which were vegetable based and not processed fake meats for once. Staff were also very friendly and helpful explaining the menu!

Pros: Lovely staff, Huge variety

Cons: Can be expensive if ordering multiple dishes

Amazing food and atmosphere!

Set in a beautiful location next to the Cam and a wonderful interior as a brand new bar and restaurant.

The tapas and Sunday lunch are both absolutely delicious, and a huge selection of drinks!

Top notch vegan tapas

My lovely wife and I visited the Tipsy Vegan for lunch recently and so have to say I was very impressed! They serve a range of small tapas-style plates, pretty much all of which sounded delicious so we were very much spoilt for choice.

In the end we ordered five dishes to share between the two of us - arancini, buffalo cauliflower tacos, coconut tofu, mac n cheese and celeriac shawarma. Everything was really good. My personal favourite was the shawarma which really showcases what is an underused and underrated vegetable. We found that this was plenty of food though if you've got a big appetite you may want to order a couple of extra dishes.

The bill came in at £32.50, which was just for the food as we drank tap water. I thought it was good value given the quality of the dishes we sampled. If I lived locally I'm sure I would become a regular customer.

Pros: Lovely venue, Excellent menu, 100% vegan

I’ll be back

I was really really pleased with my visit here the other day. The atmosphere is very quaint and sophisticated and the food is delicious. The staff are also very friendly. I was a bit skeptical that the portions would be sufficient, but I left with a full stomach and not even a big chunk out of my wallet. Really reasonably priced for what it is. The truffle Mac and cheese is the MVP.

Second visit and can’t wait to go again

Both my visits were hugely enjoyable. 4 or 5 small plates between 2 people are enough, and it’s great to have so much choice. It’s all very fresh and looks appealing, and the staff are very helpful. My favourite vegan place in Cambridge.

Pros: Freshly cooked, Lots of choice for vegans, Nice atmosphere

Cons: No cons in my opinion!

Great food

A new vegan place in Cambridge. (I love places that are fully vegan! The joy of being able to order anything off the menu!)

It's tapas style so you order small sharing plates and they come when they are ready. The food took a while to come and we did receive a food order that wasn't ours (we accidentally ate it but weren't charged for this) but this is expected from a newly opened place (and it was a busy Saturday evening).

The food was really tasty, and I loved that they had food choices from around the world. My favourite dish was definitely the kimchi pancakes.

Would definitely go back as I would like to try the breakfast menu and the Sunday roast.

Pros: Tasty food, Good choice of food, 100% vegan

Cons: Slightly slow service

Tasty plates of joy

What a choice of little delights. They suggested 2-3 plates, we had 2 each and a side and it was more than enough.

Cons: A tad pricey

Lovely family meal

Vegan tapas heaven! 🙌🏼

Went for dinner on Thursday night with my partner, his Mum and both of his grandparents. The staff were fantastic; they took time to explain things to the grandparents, who have never been to a vegan restaurant before. They were friendly, polite and knowledgeable about the food and drink.

The food was delicious! We had x1 sharer board/platter and a mixture of about x8 small plates between us. We then shared x4 desserts. This was plenty of food for the 5 of us.

Our favourites were the padron peppers, the patatas bravas, the sharer board and all the desserts! Will definitely be back when visiting family again.

Pros: Very reasonable prices, Lovely staff & atmosphere, Good variety of dishes
