A small but quite satisfactory range of appetizers, main courses and desserts are offered by this restaurant quietly tucked away in the heart of Carlton. We have dined with friends and family over the years and both meat lovers and vegetarians alike have all enjoyed the tasty treats concocted with an array of fresh vegetables, tofu, tempeh, acai seeds, roasted...

Loved it. Just because it's vegetarian did to mean it was bland. The menu is great ans serving sizes generous. We sat out in the courtyard and service was brisk. It was busy an d very hot, so we were glad to be seated outside. Would go again More

Vegetarian with a good varied menu and all delicious food. There were 3 of us and we ordered 3 entrees, and 2 mains to share. We couldn't finish it or order dessert! The dessert menu looked lovely too. More

I really loved the food here, as many other reviewers report. We went on a warm Friday Melbourne night and it was really noisy inside that made conversation hard at times. If I was with my mother in law she'd be sitting the conversation out - not a place for the hard of hearing. Perhaps on a week night it... More

In all that time the food has never let me down, the restaurant and atmosphere are wonderful and the service is absolutely top notch. I... More
