Edit: We came by to their newish Dominion Road restaurant for a celebratory dinner. The menu is quite interesting and since we had quite a few people we were able to get most of the items on the menu. Most of their dishes were very nice to look at and very tasty to eat. Both the potatoes and kumara dishes were really nice. It had interesting flavours and textures. The cucumber was also quite interesting and tasty. The asparagus with mushrooms were also nice. I wasn't a big fan of the artichoke dip though. All the desserts that we had were really nice. The burnt vanilla ice cream with mandarin and riesling curd was the best of the lot, closely followed by the coffee sponge with strawberries. Definitely a great place to come for vegetarians. You don't really notice the lack of meat with the tasty dishes they prepare. It is a really intimate restaurant that is very casual and relaxing. The service and food are both impeccable so it is worth a try. The fact that they only do vegetarian food might be scary, but this is one of the places that makes really good vegetarian food without having to pretend it's not.

Phenomenal! The restaurant itself is very small which serves to create an intimate dining experience where you feel like you’re eating in a cozy apothecary. The set menu allowed us to try flavour combinations we would never have chosen otherwise, a lot of sweet, tangy and vinegary flavours with it all still feeling light and bright. The cocktails were also delicious and incredibly refreshing. As a vegan of 8 years this is one of few times in recent memory I’ve felt genuinely excited for each course and it’s reminded me of the versatility and beauty of plant based food. We will definitely be eating here again and look forward to seeing the frequent menu changes!
