Nice vegan menu options

We had the veggie wraps for lunch, which came with the delicious forest fries. Very tasty and generous portion sizes! Menu with clearly labeled vegan options, and offers a welcome change from the vegan mezze served at other restaurants on Cyprus. Definitely worth a detour!

Omni restaurant with lots of vegan options

A great place to stop for brunch, with huge pancake portions and delicious smoothies. The vegan wings are more like meatballs but still worth a try.

Good range of chocies

Breakfast was great, but some butter for toast would have been nice. The pancakes were excellent. Teriyaki wings were ok but I wouldn't get them again. Nice staff and clean toilets.

The best in Cyprus

I cannot explain how good the vegan options are. Been here three times in one week and it’s so good! Most of the menu is vegan and there’s so much to choose from 🌱

Pros: Menu, Taste, Service

The Forest August '23

After a bit of searching online I found this quiet little cafe. The food was great and the service really friendly.

A diverse menu with loads of vegan options for us and also loads of lots breakfast for meat eaters, so something for everyone.

I had the vegan souvlaki and my wife the Thai "chicken" satay bowl. Both were excellent with homemade seitan.

The others in the group have had the Breakfast Stack (fry up in a bun) and American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Also the fresh juices and coffee are great.
Lots of burgers and salad bowls also on the menu.

Very highly recommended for breakfast and lunch and worth a drive along the coast from Larnaca.

Thanks!

Pros: Loads of vegan options , Homemade seitan based fake meats, Great service

Amazing Selection, Average Taste

I was impressed by the extensive selection of vegan dishes, and while the food had decent flavours, I have certainly had better. Both the burgers and the kebabs were very dry and certainly needed an additional sauce. The chicken wings were marginally better.

Pros: Wide selection

Cons: Dry meat alternatives

Vast range, lovely hosts

A mostly vegan menu. Food was super delicious. Cypriot food options too. They make their own vegan meat and they are passionate about responsibly sourcing their food. Glen spoke to us for ages and was very helpful and friendly. Service was slow but the hosting and food made up for it. Thank you for taking the time to welcome us.

Pros: Abundance of options, Friendly owner

Cons: Slow service, Not much indoor seating.

Vegan Greek cuisine

Best vegan place in entire Cyprus and probably the only one that serves local cuisine in vegan version. Vegan meat is extremely authentic and delicious. I bet that many meat lovers might have problem with finding the difference between it and real meat. I recommend getting vegan platter to share, because it contains many options they have in a menu. If you are a vegan, it's a must have during your trip

Lost in The Magic Forest

Super nice pro-vegan owner / chef, offering a huge variety of vegan dishes, big portions, all very tasty! We did our best to try everything, but we didn't manage to get to the pancakes...
Guess we'll just have to come back :)
Highly recommended!

P.S - Thanks for the ride ;)

The food is incredible - but expect a long wait!!

We arrived around 3 o’clock There was only us and two other tables. We ordered two drinks and three main courses and it took one hour to receive our mains. The whole experience was saved by how tasty our main and salad was.

Pros: Food is fantastic , Lots of options , Plant milk available

Cons: Meat served around you

Wow 5/5

5 Sterne leider nicht möglich laut System. Aber es sind zu 100% 5/5 für jeden Veganer. Wir waren dort an unserem vorletzten Tag… leider erst so spät. Frühstück und Mittagessen: für jeden was dabei. Veganer Speck, Pancakes, Burger, Teriyaki Balls, Bowls, Souvlaki, Thai…. Absolut empfehlenswert. In „The Forest“ ist alles frisch, selbstgemacht und die Basis ist immer vegan (Option auf nicht vegan möglich). Einfach nur mega lecker! Die Preise sind mehr als in Ordnung, abgesehen davon lohnt sich jeder Cent. Der Inhaber war uns sehr sympathisch (selbst Veganer, der auch bald in anderen europäischen Ländern seine Restaurants eröffnen möchte). Er erzählte uns außerdem den Prozess der Herstellung seiner Gerichte. Hoffentlich bald auch in the UK und vor allem in Deutschland!! Viel Glück und hoffentlich bis bald.

Huge vegan menu

Tried them via delivery. Had the mac n cheese balls and the chicken burger (all vegan of course). The mac n cheese balls were amazing! Huge portion, great flavours. The burger lacked crispness and the bun was huge, making it too bready. I would definitely try them again to try their other dishes.

Pros: Lot's of vegan options

Innovative veggie and vegan foods in Larnaca

We don't call it junk food, we call it punk food. We take flavour favorites from breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner and take them green. So a USA stack of extra fluffy pancakes and bacon comes in a vegan version with the same attention and care as the hearty original.

On the lunch and dinner menus, you won't find a sad plate of unseasoned steamed vegetables with a potato or a half-hearted iceberg salad. If you are looking for lighter salads or the rice-based sushi wrap burrito, we have you covered. However, if you really want a crunchy , spicy plate of chicken wings- we have a birdless version. Souvlaki? No problem. A big, juicy pulled pork sandwich? All vegan versions are available.

Pros: Small and family-owned, Made from scratch food in huge portions, Something for everyone- including meat-eaters

Cons: Can get crowded and certain vegan foods run out, Meat and Veg kitchens share space and fridges
