What People Say

"The vegan biscoff pancakes were a dream!"

Reviewers consistently praise the amazing vegetarian and vegan options, beautiful atmosphere, and friendly service.

"So many options for vegetarian brunch it was hard to choose! The Big Lyall was a great choice and everything on the plate was tasty. I’d definitely recommend this spot for a friendly weekend brunch, though the service was quite slow."

"First time that I have eaten here, definitely not my last !! Great Vegan choices at good prices. Nice serving sizes. I had Vegan Gyros, Thai salad and fries with vegan mayo. Absolutely delicious. We even got our bill discounted"

"What an amazing spot! Right on the coast in Lyall Bay. Food was delivered quickly, and was superb! The Botanist is vegetarian/vegan, and we had a couple of guests who have not really tried vegan food. They kept asking if the food was it really vegan, because it was near impossible to know."
