We went for dinner on a Sunday evening and it was such an enjoyable experience!

From the inviting and cosy decor to the absolutely fantastic food and drinks and multilingual staff, everything was A+!

The whole menu is vegan and draws inspiration mainly from Moroccan and Spanish cuisine.

I highly recommend the chai soda and the deep fried potato appetizer.

Staff were lovely and kind. Food was however absurdly expensive. It was a fusion for people who have never been to either Morocco or Spain. The taste wasn’t bad, but nothing I’d come back for. We were charged 15 francs for a jug of water which is, to put it frankly, quite insulting. As a plant based North African myself I was really excited for this place but I am greatly disappointed.

Brunch was amazing! Food was absolutely delicious. I’m not vegan, but the food was incredible! Didn’t know it was a vegan restaurant. Their lattes were quite good too.

We got the chef’s selection dinner (aka the Journey). The food, for the most part was good. It wasn’t exceptional as one would expect from a Michelin star restaurant. The appetizers were great, the main course was good, and then dessert was okay.
I took two stars for service because the host or the server didn’t check in with us during dinner to see how everything was and it took them 20 mins after we finished our main course to come and check if we were ready for dessert. It took them another 30 minutes to get us the dessert. Maybe I am use to American pace for dining.

The food was good, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. We had our child’s non-vegan food with us, but there was no risk of it contaminating anything. Despite this, the staff was rude and unaccommodating when we needed to feed our one year old. A bit of kindness and understanding would have made all the difference. We won’t be returning. A strictly vegan policy shouldn’t come at the cost of basic hospitality, especially towards young children.
