YAAFA REVIEWS

Première visite, nous avons pas du tout été déçu de notre repas. Ainsi que le salarié a été très respectueux et nous a donné des informations supplémentaires lorsque nous le demandions. Très sympathique. La citronnade et le thé glacé (tout deux fait maison) sont excellent ! Les prix également sont très abordables. Merci beaucoup, nous reviendrons.

Je suis passé au restaurant le 03/11 et l'accueil y était très chaleureux. J'ai pu échanger avec un personnel assez jeune qui etait très agréable. L'attente y était convenable. Je recommande.

A essayer absolument, tout est super savoureux et c'est un très bon rapport qualité-prix! Les poches de pita peuvent sembler petites mais elles sont bien plus garnies que ce à quoi on s'attend A recommander à 100%.

CULINA HORTUS REVIEWS

Une excellente expérience, la salle est joliment décorée, l'accueil très agréable, et les plats tout simplement délicieux, de la recherche de saveur et de composition pour chacun des plats, nous avons passé un excellent moment et nous nous sommes régalés. De surprise en surprise A essayer sans hésiter . Nous y sommes allés le midi,et nous y retournerons le soir à coup sûr.

Ce n’etait pas une découverte, j’y passe de temps en temps. Les menus proposés sous toujours excellent, le service est attentionné. On roule en sortant, des plats copieux je vous le recommande.

J'ai adoré ce repas, accord mets et vins. Le végétarien révèle une multitude de saveurs dans un décor très chaleureux et un accueil et service très pro et bienveillant.

LIKE AN ELEPHANT REVIEWS

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée en amoureux. Nous avons très bien mangé, tout été délicieux. Nous avons apprécié que le choix soit relativement restreint (2 ou 3 options pour les entrées/plats/desserts) avec des produits de saison et des plats aboutis. Le cadre est très agréable, la salle assez petite et joliment décorée. La cuisine ouverte sur la salle est toujours signe de bonne qualité ! Le service était rapide et impeccable, un gros point positif pour la gentillesse et la bonne humeur du serveur. Un restaurant végétalien que nous recommanderons sans hésitation ! Merci beaucoup pour ce repas.

Un excellent restaurant vegan qui vaut vraiment le détour ! Les plats sont savoureux, parfaitement équilibrés, et les ingrédients d’une qualité remarquable. Le personnel est accueillant, attentionné et d’une grande gentillesse, rendant l’expérience encore plus agréable. Chaque détail est pensé pour satisfaire les clients, des saveurs uniques aux présentations soignées. Je recommande vivement cet endroit à tous, végétaliens ou non, pour un moment de plaisir culinaire inoubliable. Une adresse à ne pas manquer.

Une belle découverte végétale ! Le choix de chaque plat est réduit mais n'en reste pas moins alléchant, et surtout un gage de qualité, de fraîcheur et de réinterprétation des produits. La montée pour y accéder pourrait décourager mais cela vaut l'effort Merci pour l'accueil et le service.
