Excellent Restaurant

Many vegan places lean towards being alternative cafes, (which is fine, but this is a classy restaurant. There was two starters and two mains on offer and my husband and I ordered the four and shared. Three of the dishes were 10/10. The pad Thai was fresh and ok, bit a bit bland.
We tried two raw desserts and they were both superb.
Really lovely atmosphere. Food is quick but beautifully plated. Service was friendly and professional.

Best vegan restaurant in Nice

I would describe this as the best vegan restaurant in Nice. The food was really delicious, and we came here twice during our week’s stay. They change their menu weekly, so we only tried the food for this week. It was very flavourful and a bit “fancy” (not affecting the portion size). We recommend having the coconut drink on the side.

Pros: Very good vegan food, Great three-course menu, Very nice staff

Cons: A bit expensive, Should stay open more

Very Classy Restaurant

Had a poke bowl and a selection of deserts. Only two main course choices but that was fine for me. The flavour in the dishes were life changing, and I mean that in a literal way.

What a great find

Having been in Nice for a week we wanted to find somewhere to cater for Vegan and Vegetarian requirements that gave us bit more of an occasion. Previous reviews gave us a good vibe and, anxious not to miss out, we wandered along to make an evening reservation in person. Good job we did since the place got busy even in early June, when many others did not.

The menu was quite limited with two options per course but the food was absolutely terrific. We were told the menu changed once a week, so we visited again and each had the alternative option on the second visit.

Fresh ingredients, beautifully prepared and presented. A great setting, well organised and good value. An absolute must

Pros: Great food - surely what its all about, Good value, Nice setting

Cons: Couldn't think of any

Still a tasty vegan option

I came to Gorrilla when they first opened, and the menu has only gotten better. The savory buckwheat crepe was filling and tasty. I loved their take on a goat cheese salad and the gourmet coffee with desert tasters was the perfect way to end the meal. A bigger cafe with plenty of tables.

Gourmet experience

Nice place and outstanding cuisine. I ate it twice, and the food was amazing. Dishes I have tried include: tartine with avocado and pink grapefruit jelly, and vegan cheese made with cashews and nuts; chickpea coconut curry with sweet potato purée; raw strawberry cheesecake; café gourmand (coffee served with mini muffin, chocolate mousse, mango and pineapple panna cotta). Definitely recommended when in Nice.

Pros: outstanding cuisine , nice location

Beautiful food, beautiful restaurant

All vegan and menu changes every week. They update their website with the menu for the week on Monday, with two starters, two mains so my partner and I got one of everything and shared. Delicious food and the desserts are provided by Amour patisserie which are also excellent!

Good stuff!

We are the salad, the carbonara and the deserts. Salad had these amazing fried balls of wonder on it. Desserts are from amour and are better than anything I’ve eaten non-vegan. We thought the carbonara was too rich.

Pros: All vegan, Great desserts , Great salad

Cons: Wait staff a little grumpy...

Main was fantastic, dessert was a letdown

Main (16€) was delicious and a generous portion size. Dessert (~8€) felt like it was trying to mimic too many non-vegan elements (e.g. cashew cream, vegan custard), and was a bit disappointing.

Un gastronomique ecolo

Avec le maître Willy Breton, accompagné de sa femme, vous allez vous régaler. Des saveurs inattendues, une cuisine originale et travaillée comme dans un gastronomique. C'est la base du veganisme dans la région niçois. L'hospitalité est au rendez vous. Parfait pour passer un bon moment.

Lovely place with huge potential but little choice , expensive for what it is and lacking flavour. Pad Thai is usually v tasty but this version wasn’t. More of a salad than a main dish. Shame

Pros: Lovely place, Friendly staff, Fast service

Cons: Chilli without rice? Desperately needed it , Small portions, Not good value.

Rude staff

We have tried to eat here many times and they have been closed or another problem etc. We took our friends this Saturday evening and even though the restaurant was nearly empty we were told there was no tables available. It wasn't the fact they were supposedly fully booked that left us disappointed it was the rudeness of the lady of which upon us entering the restaurant judged us on our appearance before we even spoke. We had been to the beach and were dressed casually but smart. I tried to explain I was English and before I could even say I didn't speak much French she rudely told me in a sarcastic and unfriendly way she was French.

Then I asked if there was a table and instead of being polite and saying I'm sorry were fully booked like any other polite restaurant would do she barked were booked even though literally the restaurant was nearly empty. I said all night and she shrugged her shoulders at me like she didnt even care and it was clear we were very unwelcome in this restaurant. Its this attitude that gave a lovely retaurant welcoming and friendly back in Cannes our custom.

If you want unfriendly sarcastic service from rude staff go here if you actually want a nice experience go somewhere else. Because quite frankly i now wouldn't go here or recommend if I was paid or it was the last vegan restaurant on earth!

Pros: None

Cons: Rude staff, Sarcastic, Unfriendly

The finest restaurant in Nice. Fantastic yummy starters, main and the coffee desert was a perfect finish. The place is clean and tidy and very cosy. Environmentally friendly, very friendly staff and fast service. We will be back for lunch.

Fancy vegan restaurant

Had a great time at Vegan Gorilla :) The food was okay, but the portions a bit small, so I recommend having a three course dinner there. Had a really delicious chocolate cake for dessert, and the atmosphere was great.

Pros: good atmosphere, friendly staff

Delicious & Healthy

The food here was fantastic. We had a beer and a cider between my partner and I, both really tasty. There were only two options for main meals at the time so we shared one of each and they were both really fresh tasting, beautifully presented and really creamy. It looked like small portions but very filling. Lots of dessert options, I had a peach tart that was great. Waitress was very friendly and everything was very reasonably priced.

Pros: Completely vegan, Lovely decor and great atmosphere, Healthy and delicious food

Cons: Not enough choices on the menu

bon mais cher

J'ai trouvé ce resto sur happy cow et j'avais hâte de l'essayer. J'ai été un peu déçue par le choix de menu très restreint. Beau décor. Resto écolo avec serviettes de table réutilisables, etc. donc j'ai beaucoup aimé les valeurs zéro déchet. J'ai pris une lasagne crue de courgettes et c'était délicieux. Le cheese cake chocolat arachides était absolument décadent. J'ai trouvé ça cher pour les portions (16 euros la lasagne et 6.50 le gâteau) mais tout est bio, local et en saison. Bravo pour originalité.

Pros: Beau décor. très bon. valeurs écolo: vegane bio lo

Cons: un peu cher pour les portions., pas beaucoup de choix de menu
