"10 years ago I first discovered this restaurant when I lived in Swansea and I loved it back then. I have since turned vegan. French cuisine is classically animal product heavy and the French vegan cuisine I have tasted (including a vegan French restaurant in Paris! has been very forgettable. I was flabbergasted and so excited to see the addition of so many vegan options on the menu! The dishes was thoughtful and creative and I couldn 't wait to try. The menu exceeded all expectations... A thoughtful amuse bouche celebrating the humble delicious tomato was aburst with flavour The Millefeuille of vegetables with a prominent earthy spinach sauce and also tasted the gateau de courgette with gently layered ribbons of courgette atop a delicious filling with a rich tomato sauce. For main I indulged in the couscous/vegetable tagine and vegan tofu croquettes beautifully sculpted and flavoursome croquettes and the vegetables sung in the tagine bathed in an umami rich sauce and never did I think cous cous could be cooked so beautifully. A carafe of Beaujolais to hand to complement these vegetables beautifully. The piece de resistance was indeed dessert I was concerned that I would never be able to taste the trio that is the incredible, irresistible, mouthwatering and ingenious la vanille however a vegan version appeared on the menu and my dreams came true! Whilst it is challenging to substitute eggs in dessert this was the best vegan version of creme brulee I have ever tasted. And wow the raspberry sorbet I was in heaven! (Sadly I was so in the moment I forgot to snap a pic! I am speechless and booking my next meal as we speak eventhough I now live 4 hours away! Worth traversing the country for without a doubt! I appreciate so much your exploration and embrace of plant based food This is the best dining out vegan experience I have EVER experienced! Book now!"

"visited the Turkish cuisine a few days ago my friend for a birthday contract with a groupon voucher for a 10 court meze for 2. the interieur is beautiful with flowing floors beautiful paintings on the walls. toilets in the ground floor also. we were immediately greeted by a beautiful waitress who showed us on our table, it was pleasant to see the local people enjoying the kitchen. we ordered drinks, she then explained that it is not a set meze, we could choose 5 dishes from the cold appetizers 5 from the hot. the first food arriving was a dish of salads prepared various away and a basket of pitta brot 2 side dives. it followed a dish with olive, filled wein leaves, tomatensalat a creamy cool dish I am sure wgat it was called but delicious. next, Haloumi cheese samosas was grilled a Beetroot salad. we started to fade, but then the king prawns came my favorites a chopped lamb bark dish with paprika in a really tasty sauce, this last 2 dishes wore a little extra price, but were good worth it. everything was delicious, nicely lubricated, so fresh our waitress told us they bought everything fresh from the market next door. we have enjoyed our visit very much if they want genuine authentic Turkish cuisine, this place must be one. I think there were some disabled parking on the street, but there is a multi-story parking just to the corner a few minutes to walk away. we wish we had lived closer so that we could visit more often."
