If I could give 6 stars I would! From booking over the phone to leaving we could not fault the restaurant. The menu is small but we liked that as it means they can perfect it & we can try most of it! We had olives & nuts plus We shared the haggis main as a starter & it was enough for three of us to try it & it was tasty! With the pepper sauce poured over the top it gave it that edge. For mains we had the beet burger, Mac n cheese & the gyros. I prefer gluten free but they didn’t have the pitta so I asked for it in the bun. All three were very good, right portion size & tasty. When we went to order desert the waitress remembered I was gluten free & she’d already checked that they had a GF cheesecake... that was very impressive that she’d remembered & checked. The cheesecake was the best vegan one we’d had & the vanilla ice cream tasted of honey & vanilla which was really creamy. We had a lot of food, a few no alcohol drinks, deserts & the bill was under 100 which we thought was very good value for three people & the amount of food we’d had. The staff were very attentive & professional. If you’re vegan or not I highly recommend this restaurant...

Visited Saturday 9th November. kimchi mushroom burger was great, vegan or vegetarian can't remember. But I am not either but I really enjoyed the burger. The female waitress was very friendly and attentive, very good service. Good experience, highly recommend.

Amazing! I recently visited and having been vegan for over a year now, I was shocked when I realised I’ve never been to a fully vegan restaurant! This was more than I expected! It’s so refreshing to be able to have anything on the menu, and what a lot of choice! I had the daal with tatties and it was beautiful! Then I had a slice of the chocolate cake for dessert which was again so delicious! The atmosphere was lovely and perfect for me as someone who gets easily sensory overwhelmed. I will be coming back again. Thank you for making this an experience I will remember!

Five Star review as that’s all we can give... simply amazing and well worth the hour drive over from Aberfoyle! Beth (Front of House) made sure that we had a super experience and was great with recommendations and dealing with food preferences. We enjoyed some Gordal olives and house roasted nuts while we waited for our starter/ sharer of haggis Bon Bon’s... we had three different mains - the Gyros, the Beet Burger, and the Nooch Mac and all were sublime! To finish, we opted for the Strawberry Cheesecake and were not disappointed. An absolute sterling find in Stirling - we will be back and highly recommend to anyone looking for good food in and around Stirling!

What an incredible little gem of a place! We came because of the reviews, so glad we did, and just had to write our own! We are not even vegan but love different flavours and interesting menus, so knew it was worth a go. For mains we had the Korean mushroom burger and haggis & leek bake - and bearing in mind my partner loves a beef burger, he said this was better than the vast majority of ‘real’ burgers he’s ever had, and my haggis & leek bake was waaaaay more delicious than any ‘real’ haggis I’ve ever tasted (albeit I hate the idea of what real haggis is); it was just so hearty and wholesome. The flavours were popping and it was clearly freshly made and with great care and attention. For dessert we had the chocolate fudge cake and basque cheesecake - which were genuinely far richer in flavour than their dairy equivalents, less heavy on the stomach and presented beautifully. You can tell that the chef is so passionate about what he’s creating, and they really are creations! We actually said we would love to bring all our big meat-eating family here to prove to them that there is just no argument for eating meat and dairy, when you can get food this good without any animal products. Huge credit to the courage of the menu too - in not just serving obvious vegan stuff but really going for it with some dishes that are usually very much about the meat and dairy, just so much better!! Got to give kudos too to the ace chef and owner, for coming and chatting to us about the dishes and for showing his love for what he does. The waitress was also great to chat to and provided lovely service. We loved the cosy and welcoming atmosphere, and particularly the brilliant playlist which encouraged us to reminisce about times gone by! They also made our dog feel very welcome. Thanks for reading my essay but loved this place so much, would 100% recommend it to vegans and meat lovers alike. I challenge you to not feel better after you’ve been here, knowing that no animals were harmed in the making of your delectable meal

Absolutely gem of a place in the centre of Stirling. I had the olives, and a delicious Pino Grigio. Then the Patatas starter, Haggis mozzarella balls starter, and lemon strawberry cheesecake dessert. The service was outstanding. Prices and portions were amazing. All round fabulous experience.

By far some of the most memorable and most delicious vegan food I have had in a very long time, craving a need for something other then an endless stream of meaty meals while traveling through the UK I found this culinary heaven. I understand everything is made from scratch and with care and you tell. Please please give them a try when visiting Stirling!!
