Good dinner spot - Edit
The bowls were very tasty. I had the green bowl. Different from what I'm used to. Had a lot of coconut milk and was like soup so you need to eat it with a spoon. Nice place for dinner.

Sososo good! - Edit
Impeccable flavour, nourishing and filling. Friendly staff. Gotta be the best food i’ve ever tasted whilst dining out! My only critique is that it was quite loud and seating felt cramped.

Deliciousness all around - Edit
Seasonal menu available in addition to their regular menu. Service and presentation are great - and best of all, the food is wonderful. Good choice for a special night out.

Refined - Edit
They are almost completely vegan - I believe the only animal ingredient used is honey in a few of their drinks, which they are ready and eager to swap for an alternative.
Read moreThe menu is consice, but everything is very thoughtful and refined, including nice seasonal specialties - I would say this is slightly more elevated dining, and this is reflected in the price, but it is well worth it. My partner and I go here for special occasions and I've liked everything I've tried over the years.
One complaint though, is the tight dining quarters - each table is closely placed to the next, so be prepared to overhear lots of conversation (and vice-versa).

Great all vegan dinner out in Victoria - Edit
A nice sit down restaurant with great ambience for a date or nice dinner out. Relatively small menu with a mix of healthier veggie options and bowls, burger, quesadilla. I ordered the quesadilla with roasted potatoes and enjoyed it, the house ketchup was so good. We had the nori rolls to start and I think they were my favourite dish we got. I’ve also gotten the Mac and cheese before and it was a nice warming meal. I enjoyed the hot drinks and elixirs, I got a mushroom infused chai and my husband got a ginger drink that was really good. Should mention that they do serve honey so if you don’t eat that then watch for it in the drinks.

Healthy and Tasty - Edit
Probably the best food we had in Victoria. The Quesedilla was superb, exquisitely flavored without the cheese sauce being overwhelming. The potato soup that came with it needed more seasoning.
Read moreThe burger patty made of sunflower seeds was also amazing, and the burger itself had so much sauce leaking out of it. The roast potatoes were exceptional, perfectly brown in the center.
The Bon-Boocha was superb too. We tried the Wellness Toddy, substituting maple syrup for honey, but that ended up rather flavorless

Lovely food and staff - Edit
Had a really nice meal here the night before Canadian Thanksgiving. I got the quesadilla, which was more like tacos than a quesadilla but still delicious. And for dessert I had a slice of vegan pumpkin cheesecake.

Hearty Food - Edit
The green bowl was hearty and filling, mild spice. There’s a small row of patio seating out front and the restaurant doesn’t have AC so it was nice to sit outside with a breeze.

Favorite meal in Victoria - Edit
The food here is incredible. Super high quality and creative options. I had the quesadilla, which was MASSIVE, the nori rolls (app), and my partner had the rising Sun bowl. I’m pretty sure the food is 100% vegan, they just need to stop using honey in the drinks so the entire restaurant can be vegan!

Bowls, Bowls, All Types of Bowls - Edit
I ate lunch here with a friend; his meal, the Rising Sun Bowl, looked amazing and had lots of variety, and he kept going on and on about how great it was.
Read moreMy bowl, the Karma Bowl, was very odd. It was just quinoa, lentils, bbq tempeh and salad dressing. I did not enjoy this meal at all.
I wish there were more gluten-free options. There is very little to choose from if you have allergies.
The service was pretty good, although a bit slow, and the room is interesting to sit in. I would go back if they added more GF options.

We loved the fresh veggies in the sushi roll appetizer, the walnut crumble cashew mac and cheese, and the teriyaki soycurls in the sunrise bowl! The rich creamy cashew cheese in the mac was a stand out!

Great food and drink - Edit
The restaurant was buzzing when we arrived - always a good sign, particularly having walked past a number of establishments which were virtually empty.
Read moreA varied menu with an additional specials menu.
The Mac (and cheese) was delicious, and you will not be disappointed with the portion size.
The rose we had from the specials menu was superb - one of the best I've tasted, and was a local wine.
All complemented by the staff, who were attentive, engaging and helpful.
