Phenomenal

4 stars as not all vegan, but wow. Our first visit was absolutely flawless. The week prior we went to the *other* upscale vegetarian restaurant around the corner and were SO disappointed, so weren't expecting much from another fine dining, but FFF blew us away. We had 3 courses each, coupled with cocktails. Everything was perfect. Honestly everything. The food, the drinks, the people, the table settings, the ambience. We couldn't fault it. Our next visit wasn't as perfect (it wasn't possible), but still amazing. The pistachio ice-cream is a stand out. Definitely visit when in Brighton - don't bother with their rival

Pros: Lots of vegan, Perfection, Pistachio ice-cream

Cons: Not all vegan, Expensive but worth it, Make a booking!

amazing veggie and vegan food!

Visited here twice in three days when in Brighton! Super tasty food - we tried the thai noodle salad (vg) and also had desserts! The eton mess was incredible and vegan! The vegan breakfast is also really good! Staff are lovely too.

Pros: Fully veggie/vegan, Great desserts

Cons: slightly expensive but not too bad!

Fried Tofu - Best I've Ever had

Had a wonderful experience in Feb 2019. Group of 7 - mix of vegans and veggies. Ordered lots of small plates to share. The dish that stood out was the fried tofu. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. The service was very friendly.

Great service and lovely fresh food

We had a really nice experience here, as the food on the menu was all quite varied and when it came out it all tasted fresh and the service and ambience was lovely.

We tried a variety of dishes and shared them all including the fried tofu starter, butternut squash arranchi, Thai cauliflower and chocolate delice for dessert.

All of the flavours in each dish were very well seasoned and the food all tasted amazing.
We noticed that a lot of the dishes included peanut sauce as the side sauce or main sauce, which I personally loved. However my girlfriend was not a big fan of the peanut sauces so she struggled to enjoy a couple of the dishes compared to me (in particular the Thai cauliflower and fresh spring rolls).

The price range felt a little bit more expensive, but I personally felt it was all worth paying a little extra for. I would definitely love to come back and try some more of the menu.

Pros: Whole menu is vegan or vegetarian

So-so, good food, would not go again personally

This was our first time going and spent aroun £40, we were quite early (4:30ish) and were the only ones in our area, it was slow service and just quite akward. My partners food was amaizng, flavour combos and tastes off the charts, mine was so-so. It was an ok experience but not worth the price. i agree with previous reviews about 'if your face fits'. it's a shame.

Pros: nice chairs.

Cons: not overly friendly, expensive, not many vegan options (for a veggie place)

Nice fancy-ish meal

I was a bit worried given some of the reviews below. However, I thought the food was all very tasty. We shared about 5 different small plates between the two of us and every single dish was good. Good wine and coffee too. Service not the friendliest, but adequate.

Disappointing.


Spices were fighting against each other. Umami was missing completely. The interior is tacky and service personal was [censored]. Glad we only ordered three things.

Cons: Horribly over spiced, Tacky interior

Weird vibe, odd food

All of the food was off the charts spicy (even the things you wouldn’t expect to be), and none of the small tapas style plates complimented each other AT ALL. Overall the entire place felt a bit off and the ambiance and food were really random and inconsistent. Service was good though!

Amazing Small Plates

If you’re going to food for friends I would say to share a bunch of small plates with a friend. They have so many delicious vegan bites whereas the large plates are a bit limited for vegan options and those that are vegan seem quite basic. Don’t quote me on that though because I haven’t tried any of the big plates. They just seem not too special as you could get similar meals elsewhere.

Their small plates however are super unique and delicious. Get the crispy marinated tofu! Best thing in my opinion. Could eat that all day.

Used to be very good; now so so

Have eaten here many times in the past 20 years - used to be one of the best in the UK; still good, but recently the food sometimes is a bit crap (over cooked chips anyone?) and the service has gone downhill.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Not your usual food;some more imaginative options

Cons: Can be busy, It’s not cheap!

Great dishes; bit distracted

Delicious food and interesting. The service wasn't great, though - they seemed a bit distracted. A couple of things we ordered and they didn't bring.

I want more

We had a fabulous lunch here, but made the mistake of sharing the sharing platter. It should've been called the non-sharing platter.
