Awesome - Edit
The place is so very cute and the food was really good. I didnt understand that my dish was kinda small but I had a salad as well and in the end it was a good portion together! We are going back!

Nice Curry - Edit
This place had a very nice atmosphere and the staff were friendly! It's a bit expensive, so we just got the green curry, which was nice! I'd like to try more next time.

This is a tasty burger - Edit
Extremely good and messy burgers. Mac and cheese was also great, along with the chili con carne fries. Highly recommend. Very good early lunch spot

Good options when available - Edit
Ain Soph seems to limit the quantity of food they make each day. We got to this location 15 minutes after they opened for lunch and over half of the menu was “sold out.” What we did have was pretty good, but I was disappointed in the available options.
Read morePros: Good vegan options, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Menu sells out or is unavailable

Cute and tasty - Edit
The restaurant is actually quite large inside and has a whole vegan menu!
Read moreI ordered the burger and it was quite flavorful with the onions (was thinking about the salad because I wanted some veggies, but the price was too steep and the same price as the burger). I also ordered the pancakes with fruits. Sadly, the proportion of pancakes to ice cream was off (not enough ice cream!). The server was nice and spoke English too😄
Pros: Ripple Cheese Burger

Ok… - Edit
Food wasn’t bad, wasn’t great. The cocktails were truly watery and bad though.
Read moreDecor was nice and relaxed.
Service was a bit aloof and there was about 20min gap between my meal and my partner’s meal being served soooo that sucked.
Eh.

Great onion rings - Edit
I had booked for dinner. The restaurant wasn’t all that busy when we arrived although the metro to get there was packed. We ordered a plate of onion rings to share. They were crispy and had a good flavour. I ordered the soy cutlet with a green salad and brown rice. It was nice but I would have loved some vegetables with it. They had crème brûlée and I couldn’t resist. It was a good sized serving and the top was delicious. The custard had a nice flavour too. My partner enjoyed the burger and the ice cream sundae that he had. I tasted both and they were nice.

Great vegan food - Edit
We got the cutlet plate and the cutlet burger as well as the Mac and cheese. All of that was tasty.
Read moreAlso got the iced matcha latte which was great. The lemon soda was quite lemony and sour, no sweetener was used.
It’s quite spacious, many seats. We were there for lunch on a weekday and it wasn’t very busy.
There are some steps to enter the restaurant, and a very steep ramp, probably more for bikes that strollers or wheelchairs.
So far the best Ain Soph we have been to.

Pancakes to die for! - Edit
Great if you’re craving a burger……calm and peaceful setting. I was full after my burger but so pleased I tried the lemon pancakes for dessert (a seasonal summer version of their normal ones). 100% so yummy.

Still amazing all these years later - Edit
I came to ain soph soar for the first time in 2017. Years later in 2024 it’s still an incredible restaurant but now with a completely different venue.
Read moreWith the closure of ain soph ripple, they have absorbed many of the menu items from their burger joint into their main restaurant, eliminating the fine dining Italian theme I remember many years ago.
The food still holds up years later. It’s a beautiful venue and experience and the staff are still just as warm and welcoming as always. Thank you for the beautiful meal! We’d recommend getting the pork cutlet plate, the cutlet was fried to absolute perfection and texturally it was such a dream.
Pros: Pork cutlet plate , Ripple burger, Cheesecake
