Food is delicious but... - Edit
Food is delicious but presentation and service needs work. The food is plated up looking like they're homemade, which would be acceptable for a lesser price tag. But since it is on the medium price range and the rest of the decor suggests a classier establishment, I'd think that the presentation should reflect that. It is a small improvement that could definitely spice up the place. The service in general is just ok. Our waiter was a bit standoffish, and when asked to write down our orders because when he repeated it, it was wrong, he simply refused. Then eventually got one if the orders wrong.

Pros: food, atmosphere, cake
Cons: service, presentation

If you're looking for Western style vegan food - Edit
If you're looking for something else than your normal Chinese vegan mock meat dishes, then Veggie Table is a good choice. Otherwise, if you're just looking for a vegan restaurant, I'd pick something more affordable.
Read moreThe food is not bad, it's just not worth the price, unfortunately.
Pros: all vegan
Cons: slow service, a bit expensive, the food's not that great

A delight! - Edit
I've eaten in four or five vegetarian restaurants in Beijing now and this one is tied for first (with Vegetarian Tiger). It's located in a very nice hutong steps from Yonghegong station. It's charmingly decorated, though a bit cramped. I was there at 8:00 p.m. and the dinner rush made the service a little slow, but not terribly so. The staff were extremely friendly and spoke more English than at any other restaurant I've been to in Beijing so far. The food was very good. It's generally Western-style food, but with creative touches. Lots of the menu is organic and some of it is local. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Others complain about the prices, which are admittedly higher than at fast food restaurants, but the prices are still a steal compared to food prices in the West. My dinner of a delicious smoothie and a heaping plate of couscous with veggies cost 105 RMB, which is less than $20 Canadian at today's exchange rate.

Good for western veggie food - Edit
The restaurant is located in Wudaoying Hutong, which is a beautiful little street full of cafes and small shops. The restaurant is very cozy with lots of sofas, they also played some of my favourite music, so I enjoyed the atmosphere. Now, the food: I ordered the mushroom burger, because it has been a while since I last had a burger and it was recommended. My Chinese friends also tried it but it was impossible for them to eat, i.e. it completely fell apart, for all four of them. I actually quite liked the taste of the burger, even though the consistency of the patty was too soft. The coleslaw was good, homemade fries delicious and the vegan mayo was awesome. I also had a papaya, banana, soya shake which was my favourite part of the meal. Also tried some of their curry, which was quite decent. The service was reasonably quick by the way.
Read moreMy Chinese friends apparently did not like the food very much, did not finish their drinks either and we all spend a 100 RMB each, which was too expensive for just having a burger and a drink. For me, the price is tolerable, restaurants on Wudaoying are a bit pricier in general and there are not a lot of options for Western vegan food anyway. I might take visiting friends from back home there, for locals there are better and cheaper options around.
Pros: Vegan western food, Nice location and atmosphere
Cons: Fairly expensive

Atmosphere and food rival most vegan restaurants - Edit
Visited 3 times over our 2 weeks in Beijing, best way to find it is to exit the nearby station from C exit, cross the road, and turn down the first hutong, avoiding the traffic.
Read moreThe atmosphere would rival many western veggie restaurants, it is a calm heaven from hectic Beijing, and the food is so good.
Recommend the mushroom burger, especially for the Best Vegan Coleslaw, or try a platter of little dishes, like lentil soup and salad, they really know how to work with flavours. The black Ginger tea seems expensive but they do refill the pot, so it's worth it.
The menu is all in English and they do great drinks too. The staff seem very friendly and the sofa's are comfy to relax on.
I would recommend this to anyone craving a taste of western food.
The burger is about 58 and tea pot is 65, most drinks about 30 and a mixed platter is 75, seems great value for the quality of the food.
Pros: Non smoking, Easy for westerners, Quality Ingredients
Cons: Can appear pricey, Can get busy

amazing food and philosophy worth supporting - Edit
--100% vegan menu makes for unsurpassed diversity and several gluten-free options both hot and cold
Read more--western vegan desserts
--big windows and lots of wood and cushions for a bright and cozy environment
--partnered with a local organic farm to supply some of the veg and serve as a community pickup spot for organic produce
--not worried about the toilet: public toilets are a part of Beijing life, and "thanks to" gentrification, these toilets are numerous and pretty nice
full disclosure: i met the chef at a vegan event she organized in Beijing when i first arrived in the city, so i had that pleasure of eating her homemade food before the restaurant was born
Pros: good food, cozy atmosphere, near subway
Cons: sluggish service

What if you need the bathroom? - Edit
On an attractive restaurant street. Nice decor. Relatively expensive, but excellent well prepared fresh food. The biggest con is that there is no toilet in the restaurant. One must use the public toilet outside, on the street. Imagine freezing in the cold or getting soaked in the rain just to use the facilities. The owners are aware of this problem, but they must do something to correct it.
Read morePros: excellent fresh food
Cons: service could be faster, NO TOILET
