We believe that 100% plant-based should equal 100% flavour and fun, which is why we set about serving up Sydney's most flavourful plant-based bites, inspired by European signatures.

We're proud to sit alongside some of Newtown's best vegan and vegetarian restaurants, changing the flavour game for Sydney's plant-based restaurant scene. Our signature souvlaki dishes feature proteins made from wheat, soy, and mushroom marinated for 60-hours, delivering that irresistible "meaty" flavour you've been craving. 100% Yia Yia approved!

This is not your typical plant-based fare. Our menu is packed with mouth-watering flavour. Expect satiating sauces, robust herbal notes and bold accents all beautifully presented by our incredible team in our cosy and comfortable venue, with a dash of pink neon for good measure!

    I recently visited this restaurant, having traveled quite a distance to get there, but unfortunately, I won’t be making the journey again. The food was decent but not remarkable—just okay overall. The portions were disappointingly small, especially considering the prices. We were shocked when the bill arrived. Even with a $100 voucher, we still ended up paying an additional $30 for just one entrée, two mains, a slice of cheesecake, one soft drink and a cocktail. To give you an idea of the prices: $14.90 for a slice of cheesecake and $17.90 for a plate of four tiny koftas with nothing else on the plate but a smear of tzatziki. For what we got, it really didn’t feel worth the money. We also waited a long time for our food. It took over half an hour just to get one entrée—four small koftas—and after sitting there for over an hour, our mains still hadn’t arrived. Our drinks were served almost instantly, but by the time we got our food, the ice had melted, leaving us with warm drinks that we couldn’t even enjoy with our meal. To top it off, the owner tried to steer us away from ordering a certain dish, saying it wasn’t their best and recommending we choose something else. I found this odd and unprofessional—perhaps he was pushing the new menu items, which I couldn’t justify either. For example, the $38 price tag for a beef wellington felt way too steep for what we were getting. We frequently visit other vegan restaurants and, in fact, went to one the very next night, paying half the price for bigger portions, better-tasting food, and higher-quality dishes. While the food wasn’t bad, it certainly wasn’t great either, and with the high prices, long wait, and odd experience with the owner, I can’t say it was a satisfying visit. Wouldn't go out of my way again for this one.
