mitigé

L'entrée était délicieuse mais le plat je n'ai pas aimé. J'avais pris un burger au falafel.
Cela reste tout de même une bonne adresse à Nice

good and tasty food

We had as a starter two vegan cheeses on a bread and both were very good. As a main dish we had the Buddha bowl and the falafel couscous, both were very good and the portions were sufficient. As a desert, we chose the chocolate pie with strawberries and it was ok. The place is nice and has a fancy atmosphere.

Beau concept, bonne nourriture mais cher !

Due de tartines à 8€ - lasagnes aux lentilles à 16€. Pas trop copieux.

Pros: Deux entrées - deux plats et deux desserts

Cons: Assez cher

Vegan Heaven in Nice

Having spent 2 days in Nice trying to find vegan food in cheese laden restaurants we found this place. Thank heavens! A small menu, but we tried every dish, and every one was super tasty, creative and delicious! The wine was also lovely and cold and service friendly and welcoming. The vegan salad and cheese less dips were the tastiest starters we ever had, the mains were full of different tastes and textures and filling too and the desserts... omg, totally satisfying and so nice to get decent desserts-the trio of desserts was a taste sensation!

Pros: Taste sensations, Friendly service, Good selection of vegan wines

Cons: 2 options only for starter/main

Amazing vegan place

If you’re vegan and you’re in Nice, this is a must try.
Make sure you book in advance as it’s packed.
You won’t have any issues getting around with just English.
The food is simply amazing.

Pros: Very friendly staff, Owner ran, Great quality/price

Lunchtime Meal

Had a lovely lunch, in a modern setting. I really wish the portions were bigger though :-)

They had a menu with 2 options for all three courses, I had hoped for an a la carte menu with a bit more selection.

I enjoyed the food overall but the falafel burger was a little underwhelming and lacked the Middle Eastern flavour and seasoning.

Delicious but expensive food

Delicious food, had a starter of some homemade cheese and olive spreads and a main of homemade sweet potato fries and a loaded mushroom burger in a lovely homemade bun - didn't even realise that the whole menu his gluten free too! Was a bit taken back by the prices initially but the food was well worth it in the end.

Pros: tasty, homemade, gluten free

Cons: expensive

good avocado burger

Modern and crowdy place. Luckily we made a reservation because it was very busy.
We ordered two appetizers and two main courses. The bread with vegan cheese and the avocado burger were delicious. The sweet potato soup and mushroom kofta were not so special, more like at home.
A little bit over priced.

Mon ancienne cantine

Ayant habitée 1 an à Nice pour mes études, j'ai eu l'occasion d'aller manger à plusieurs reprises chez Vegan Gorilla. Un lieu convivial où l'on mange vraiment bien. Des plats élégants et plaisants!

Good food

I thoroughly enjoyed eating the food from here. Both times I tried to go in for the evening hours (in early August) the place was totally booked. The second time fortunately there was takeaway available. I had the cheesecake starter, a sort of brownie dessert with fruit on top, and one of their delicious raw main dishes. I would suggest this place to anybody! The decor and products available for sale near the front all pointed toward a place that cared about the health of their customers and the environment.

Good but pricey

I had a salad that was very good but the portion size was very small yet pricey... the choice in the menu is also very limited.
I didn't like the chocolate cake at all.

Pros: good food, everything is fresh and organic

Cons: very little choice, pricey, very small portions

Delicious Food You Won't Find in Other Vegan Restaurants

I had a shiitake burger with a salad and it was delicious. You can tell that they put a lot of thought into their menu. There were two options for the entrée as well as for the main course and dessert. I prefer when the menu is small because it makes it easier to choose and it's also shows that the food is being freshly prepared.
My friend had a green gazpacho soup as an entrée which she loved.
It seems like they change their menu a lot judging from the other reviews here.
The chef and the waitress were both very nice. The chef even came out several times and asked the guests if they enjoyed the food.
The desert was another highlight. It was some vegan cheese cake, chocolate pudding and rhubarb mush (3 small portions).
I paid 37 € in total for three courses and I think that is absolutely reasonable for the food quality that was served.
I loved the decor. There are vegan cook books, wooden tables and some vegan quotes on the wall.

Pros: Delicious unique food , beautiful decor , reasonable prices

Cons: Small menu

Very tasty, but little too small

The Vegan Gorilla ist a Restaurant with a creative interior., with i liked a lot. The service was very good an the food was very tasty.
I had the "slices of bread", one with some algae bread spread and with with a very good fake cream cheese. For the second course i had penne with fake salmon. Again, this course was delicious. Sadly, for a man like me, the portions were too small.

My top choice in Nice

We visited for lunch.
We had the avocado burger, and the waffle plate.

After reading other reviews and looking at some pictures, we knew that the food was going to be good; but actually, I must say that the food was so much better than we expected, creative and yummy at the same time.

The service was also friendly and attentive.
So, this turned out to be our favorite dining place in Nice.

I hope they include both plates in their regular menu, as I'd love to try them again someday.

Pros: interesting and delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff

Cons: nada

like home with family !!

Amazing evening
They gave us the upstairs lounge table made in a really cool style with recycled pallet wood
The owners is a vegan couple doing everything home hard in their menu
They change the menu every week so that you never get bored of discovering new creative ways of plant based delicatessen
The husband is the chef, he has gastronomic background ( You can't miss it) and his wife is doing everything to make you happy. The ambiance is nice, it feels like without knowing them, you are at your friend's home.
We had raw purple artichoke salad, just perfect
Waffles with some kind of chives cream that was so light incredible
And a kickass raw banana fig and coco chocolate dessert
Overall, one of the best vegan restaurant without doubt in south of France, correct prices, creativity, friendly ambiance and adorable family owner
Will come back anytime I'm in town. you are the future ?

Pros: menu changes every week, organic food semi gastro meals, affordable prices

joli cadre mais plutôt decus

Le cadre est joli et reposant. La carte est simple et saine. l énoncé des plats par la serveuse donne vraiment envie.le service rapide mais nous avons été très déçus quant aux plats. Lasagnes avec ricotta vegan au butternut choux romanesco etc.... les lasagnes etaient tres sèches voires crues en bordure le butternutt quasi inexistant la farce essentiellement a base de tofu manquait d assaisonnement et etait assez monotone.
Burger vegan et patate avec fausse sour cream: la creme de cajou etait bonne mais le faux burger manquait d assaisonnement le pain aurait pu être grillé. Le guacamole inexsistant.
Café gourmand: moelleux chocolat fondant pomme et mousse chocolat... seule la mousse etait bonne et parfumee.. le fondant aux pommes on sentait la levure ou le bicarbonate et le moelleux au chocolat était assez fade.
Nous avons fait remonter nos impressions au chef.
Montant addition 2 plats 1 bière 1 café gourmand : 45€
Je ne pense pas en revanche y retourner ou le recommander.

Pros: cadre accueil

Cons: gouts saveurs cuisson

Healthy vegan grub!

Had a lovely lunch at Vegan Gorilla. A small menu with two options for each course. The dragon bowl was very filling and nutritious the setting is modern and clean. A little expensive but you are paying for the quality of the ingredients used.

Pros: Vegan, Gluten free

Cons: Expensive

Loved everything!

This place is beautiful, the owners are so lovely, and the food is healthy, beautifully presented gourmet style food, and delicious! They speak good English and have an English menu. The menu rotates once a week. We came back twice and wish we could have come here again but we leave Nice tomorrow. Our favourite place to eat in Nice!
