A little off the beaten track

This is definitely a destination. The menu as at April 25, is varied. We were spoilt for choice. We ordered the mushroom carbonara with truffle oil from the big bits and the stuffed zucchini flowers and charred brussels & beets to share between the two of us.

The restaurant has indoor & outdoor seating and has a lovely chilled vibe with friendly waiting staff.

The food was served one dish at a time to give us the opportunity to eat them hot.

The zucchini flowers were super crispy and flavourful. The carbonara has some delicate rice paper bacon to add a different element. This is the nearest to fine dining we've had while visiting Aus and I'm so pleased we found this little vegan food oasis.

Great place to come to for a celebration or some self-care/pampering. Great value for money.

Can taste the love

Such a well thought out menu with creative options and dishes were all bursting with flavour. Absolutely incredible meal. Zucchini flowers were my top pick but everything we had (and we had a lot) was so good.

Gorgeous & delicious lunch

We came here for lunch after hearing so many good reviews - and it truly did not disappoint.
Beautiful outdoor setting overlooking the tree car park.
ALL the lovely lady staff were super friendly and sooo welcoming.
We shared four dishes from the small eats menu and thoroughly enjoyed them all - The stand outs were the stuffed zucchini flowers & the unusual Korean rice cakes - Yuuummy - the fusion of flavours & presentation was divine
Also had the charred Brussels and beets the eggplant parmigiana …
We can’t wait to return to treat ourselves to another delightful dining experience.
I enjoyed a pickled pig ginger beer, with my partner having a kombucha.

Pros: Food was delicious & ALL Vegan 🌱 , Staff were friendly , Pleasant outdoor setting

WoW

The food here was an experience, not just food. Totally worth every penny. All vegan and gluten free, zero guilt for eating here. Super healthy, extra tasty. The arancini balls and the gnocchi were delicious. Unforgetable!

My new favorite restaurant in the world!

Seriously, you HAVE to go here. I have expensive taste for high-quality vegan food, and these unique dishes hit the spot! The stuffed zucchini flowers are a MUST MUST MUST (I literally cried when I ate these because they're THAT good), and so are the charred brussels and beets! The owners are so nice and talented, and I just want everyone in the world to go eat here now so they can make a ton of money and open a location in the US!

Pros: Stuffed Zucchini Flowers, Charred Brussels and Beets, Excellent Customer Service

Omfgoodness gracious. Quintessentially fabulous 😍

Wow.

It's such a refreshing change to find such and authentic menu where you can actually feel that love and care is going into all aspects of the menu and dining experience rather than just the "vego/ GF option" on the menu.

We ate 2 entrés
1 main and an entré
1 dessert

With a drink each.

Omfgoodness gracious 😍

To start
Stuffed zucchini flowers with almond feta.
(Light, crunchy, soft and textured. Delicious but not too much)

Cauliflower wings (deep fried, with tomato sauce cashew cream dipping sauce.
(I'd eat that every time, wow, somehow better than your usual cauli wings)

Main
Entré size home made baked meat balls with cauliflower cheese and shaved piquant
(3 decent sized meat balls were soft and tasty which paired precisely with the sauce and cauliflower cheese, again I'd be happy with that every time)

Pumpkin Alfredo gnocchi with rice paper bakon, truffle mushrooms and cashew parmesan
(Hearty and filling, the flavours were beautiful and incorporated well into the dish. I found the truffle a little intense as I'm not a lover of truffle however it wasn't offensive besides the pumpkin sauce was amazing.)

We were hitting the wall with a food coma after this undertaking.
But when the dessert of the day arrived, I don't know but it actually sparked us back to life.
Deep fried chocolate chip cookies with what tasted like a cake batter ice cream and strawberries was small enough to be the perfect compliment to a wonderful meal.
Somehow the cookies took away our heavy feeling and let us leave feeling amazing and satisfied.

Our server was a lovely young girl as we're all the staff very good at their jobs, attentive but not overbearing.

The best meal I have ever had

Me and my partner came here for dinner and wow where do I start. The ambience of the restaurant is so beautiful and relaxing, and the staff are so friendly and attentive. The food was 12/10.. literally the best meal I have had out ever. When we went to pay the bill I was also shocked at how reasonable the price was in comparison to the unreal quality. Do yourself a favour and come here asap

Pros: food is unreal!! , Staff amazing , So relaxing

Cons: NONE

Winner Entrees and dessert

We dined early (5.30pm Sat) and it was fairly quiet in the restaurant, we enjoyed most of the entrees and the dessert but we were underwhelmed by the main we ordered (pumpkin gnocchi)

Pros: Variety of menu

Cons: Main was bland

Delicious!

Just discovered this little gem of a vegan restaurant a few weeks ago. The food was excellent & gluten free options were available to cater for my son & I. Being onion & garlic free meant I had a much smaller selection of dishes to choose from, however I still managed to thoroughly enjoy what was on offer to me. My family devoured the stuffed zucchini flowers, eggplant parmigiana, roasted brussels & beets & the housemade "meatballs", followed by the delicious pumpkin alfredo gnocchi, Vietnamese pancake, jackfruit nachos & kale caesar. Such lovely flavours with the gnocchi being a clear favourite. The cocktails and mocktails were very tasty also. Sadly, the desserts left little to be desired. We shared the classic tiramisu and the baked lemon cheesecake only to find them both fairly bland in flavour. The tiramisu could really have used some added sweetness & moisture. The cheesecake had a nice sauce, but the rest of it was a bit ho-hum. The potential to make the dessert menu a bit more tasty & exciting is definitely there. I hope they change that up a bit. As for the seating, we were very fortunate to get a table for four inside, which was lovely - thank you. I don't think the outdoor seating is very nice at all being right alongside parked cars on the Gold Coast Highway & I would choose not to eat there if that was the only option to dine there. All in all it was a great experience, so thank you to the staff & chef for a great dinner experience. We will definitely be back, as long as we can sit inside again.

Pros: All entrees, Pumpkin alfredo gnocchi, Mocktails & cocktails

Cons: Desserts - tiramisu & baked lemon cheesecake, Outdoor seating vibe, Toilets - tiny bin overflowing & dirty cubicles

Thoroughly enjoyed our date night

Love the changes to the space and the menu, it’s lifted the quality up to a 5 star review for us. Good tasty food that doesn’t leave you feeling bloated as it’s all gf. Zucchini flowers were delicious, gnocchi was excellent and the Vietnamese pancake was fantastic. Nice restaurant vibe, friendly staff, great food over a glass of wine made for a lovely night out.

Been here a lot, food always good.

Been here for birthdays and celebrations a lot. The food is always good and portion sizes usually nice and filling. Only complaint is the music can be a bit loud and need to book in advance because it packs out quickly.

Nice food, good service

We had Arancini, cheese plate and fettuccine. Arancini was the stand out and the fettucini a bit of a let down. Overall the food was nice and service was very friendly, but i wouldnt be rushing back to come here. However, i appreciated there was a mix or raw , healthy dietry mixes in the menu!

Good, confused about plate sizes

We booked on a Friday night and it was busy but we were promptly served. You order via a tablet device which I like. There are several items in the small plates and maybe 4 mains and 4 specials. I ordered a non alcoholic g&t which was lovely. We ordered the small plate of cauliflower wings. The plate was large. I hoped my main wouldn’t be much bigger and it wasn’t. Either the same size or slightly smaller. I had the tofu larb and I liked all the flavours on the plate. My partner had the polenta pizza which was very small but he said he really liked it. We saw some other small plates come out hut they all looked quite large to us.
We had ordered dessert and when they took our plates asked if we wanted a breather which was thoughtful. This was my favourite dish. Cookies (like little donuts) deep fried and a sauce of chocolates. These were incredible.
Staff were nice and the restaurant itself was nice too, windows were open which is great.

Average

Obviously awesome that it’s all vegan - but I found the food to be pretty bland and not worth the cost. Especially when there are so many more affordable and amazing vegan options in the area. Ginger margarita was the highlight. Also the only venue I’ve been to on the Gold Coast with no Covid check in, no easy check in code to scan and staff didn’t request or check if we had checked in. Disappointing since every other place in the area seems very organised and on top of that!

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Expensive , Bland

Best Vegan restaurant

What an incredible experience. The waitress was so lovely, I even loved the new I pad ordering. Everything had pictures and were reasonably priced.
The food is so flavoursome and EVERYTHING is gluten free. You must book in advance. Both Omni friends were super impressed.
