Lovely Sandwich

Had the Moro Panini. It was lovely, they pair the paninis with a vegetable soup - which was a little cold

Pros: Delicious

Cons: Soup was a bit cold

FIVE STARS

Cozy, incredible food and AFFORDABLE. I really don’t understand people mentioning the price but no one will say a thing about paying 20 euros for a vegan burger in a certain burger place in Temple Bar. Bell Pesto has authentic Italian food and the chef has years of experience with vegan food, and even though they always change their menu to portrait a different region of Italy, there’s always a vegan option.

If you’re in Dublin, don’t miss the chance to visit this incredible place.

Good vegan sandwich

I enjoyed my vegan sandwich here and may return in the future. It was odd that the soup it was served with was cold. On the expensive side even for Dublin.

Pros: Seems authentic Italian

Cons: Soup was served cold, Not cheap

My friends sad the vegan pita also tasted really nice.

Great lunch spot

Lovely bright Italian style cafe, great lunch spot and close to the Guiness experience. A great vegan sandwich and quite a few vegan cakes. Nice coffees with non dairy milk. Came with non vegans and it’s a good place for mixed dietary requirements

Bit on the pricier end but really tasty

Nice wrap here, just as a student I can't afford to come here as much as I'd like. Not their fault at all, can't imagine it's easy to keep this place open, but is worthwhile for some good vegan grub if you're in the area.

Pros: Tasty, High protein vegan options

Cons: To pricey for average student

Authentic Italian Food, Great Service

Cute Italian café/restaurant with a lively atmosphere. They had one specifically marked vegan starter and main with a number of other options that were either accidentally vegan or could be made so. Lovely coffee and a couple of vegan traybakes in the cabinet as well. The food was so fresh and flavourful and the service was absolutely fantastic!

Pros: Good Options, Great Flavours, Wonderful Service

Good vegan options

There were quite a few vegan options here including a couple of sandwiches and a nice salad. Sadly they had run out of the tofu but there were still plenty of options for lunch.

Pros: Vegan salad, Service

Lovely little place

Had to wait for a train to depart at Heuston Station and decided to see if I could find some breakfast. So glad I did.

I had the Libero, which is the savoury vegan breakfast, and it was creative and tasty. Made me want to come back and try some of their vegan lunch and dinner options, too. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, too.

Lovely wee Italian

Was working nearby and needed somewhere for a quick (but tasty) lunch. Very relaxed atmosphere, friendly waitress, beautiful pasta. She pointed out the vegan cakes that were available that day. Some good vegan options available, even if I did default to arrabbiata.

Amazing vegan options!

The staff were lovely and passionate about their vegan options. We had a vegan halloumi salad and a portobello mushroom burger with the most amazing pesto in it! Food was great and it was a lovely little place.
