"If you are looking for an alternative cuisine to explore, then this restaurant chain is definitely a good place to start. Whilst Greek food is already geared towards vegan dishes, no place in Bournemouth has exploited this fact, until now. Whilst a few of the dishes were a little overpriced, the variation and quality of the food made up for it. Try to visit with a group and/or an empty stomach: the dishes or numerous and it is difficult to decide which ones not to order. The place was very busy when we were there, a Thursday evening, so it may be wise to book in advance. The staff were working at a high tempo to accommodate everyone, though it was sometimes a bit difficult to get their attention. Not enough, though, to spoil our overall experience."

The takeout service at this restaurant is excellent. All the dishes were delicious, but the standout was definitely the jackfruit stifado.

Awful service, given spanakopita (feta) even though ordered from vegan menu, I even doubled checked it was what I ordered and was told it was, only on eating it I realised it was dairy... wouldn’t go back! Didn’t even apologise for the error!

sat for lunch and had the vegan plate beautiful Mezze range including jackfruit and mushrooms in a red wine sauce, a butter bean dish, three dips including humous, flat brot, kreudités and a grain-based dish. all very nice and very friendly service. it was a sunny day, so we sat outside on the large terrace could have been almost in Greece! there were many other options on the vegan menu, would recommend.

We waited 15 minutes before a waiter came to take our order. Actually, I had to call the waiter so that she comes. Then the food never came... We asked several times what was going on but no clear explanation. After one hour waiting, we decided to talk to the manager who told us we shouldn't be complaining as she had warned that it was a busy evening. In the meantime, a group of 6 people arrived and got served before us. We left before without getting served after more than one hour waiting.

I have visited this restaurant a few times now and have always enjoyed the food. Their menu includes a wide variety of vegan dishes and they offer a lunch deal which helps keep costs down. There are so many options to choose from, but my favorites are the pea fava and the grilled aubergine. If I am feeling extra hungry, I will order the Souvlaki wrap with chips. The portion sizes are reasonable and I have always left feeling satisfied. The service can be a bit slow at times and I do not like how close the tables are, as it feels like there is no privacy between them.

"We had called-here for drinks during a previous visit to Bournemouth. We were impressed with the wine we drank, and the food that we saw served to other customers. So, today was the realisation of a promise that we made-to-ourselves to revisit and, this time, dine! We were a few-minutes early for our 19:30 reservation having allowed too-much time for our half-a-mile walk from our hotel. The restaurant was not busy, and there were scant customers during our 2½ hour stay. There was only one, very pleasant, member of staff in the bar/dining area. We had assumed he was the Manager, and he did everything: menus, drinks, food orders, food service, and payment. He did this pleasantly with good humour, plus impressive efficiency and knowledge. The food here is principally ‘Sharing Boards’ but also available were smaller (snack) servings of Artisan Cheese and Charcuterie and other “Nibbles”. We chose an ‘Ultimate Board’ (intended for two people sharing and costing £36.95 in total). Within this price you select four types of charcuterie plus four types of cheese to complete the board. Drinks: we started with a 175ml glass of “Martin Codax Albariño” for each of us. The extensive and impressive wine list offers a good selection available by the 175 or 250ml glass: 6 white wines, 3 rosé wines, 9 red wines, 3 sparkling wines and 9 aperitif/digestif wines. The Albariño was very much enjoyed, whist we decided which bottle of wine we would have with our meal. After much thought we chose a bottle of Bin 31 ‘Laibach (Sur Lie) Stellenbosch’; a white wine from what is a great wine-producing region in South Africa. This was superbly delicate and gently flavoured; with the very slight effervescence from the ‘Sur Lie’ fermentation method (fermentation on the lees). We know this method well from Sur Lie Muscadet wines, from the Sèvre-et-Maine region in France. With our wine chosen, we concentrated on the charcuterie and fromage that we would like with our ‘Ultimate Board’. There was much debate between us, but eventually: Our choices of charcuterie were: Salami Milano: with a perfumed scent that was such a delight. Pâté: quite fine but rich and flavoursome. Venison Salami: surprising and just superb. Smoked Pancetta: we loved this delicately smoked pork belly which was served in the thinnest slices imaginable. The cheese was far more difficult to choose: A Cheddar was a no-brainer and it was good; however we have ‘Vintage’ Cheddar at home (aged for 36-60 months); so the Cheddar here was a bit tame for our tastes. Oak Smoked Lincolnshire Poacher: this was very disappointing as half of the piece was totally inedible rind, and the rest was almost impossible to cut with the cheese-knife provided. I brought this to the attention of the Manager this was exchanged with more of the Cheddar. Northern Blue: good and creamy and appreciably tangy. We had another cheese which was firm and good eating, but we cannot recall it’s name (that’s our fail then). To be honest, and sadly, we found the cheese to be not anywhere as good as the charcuterie, we like mostly hard, or at least firm cheese, with strong flavours. Brie, Camembert and other soft cheeses rarely feature at our home (the somewhat explains our choices). The board was loaded with extra ingredients: a good selection of salad and fruit: cream cheese stuffed cherry tomatoes, lovely crunchy astringent cornichon, fresh grapes and pitted olives. There was also a pot of hummus, onion relish, cheese crackers, and a basket of bread (the latter of which we ordered a second). The meal was still a very favourable experience; made better by the extra cornichon provided. Just because I said how much I loved the texture and flavour of these wonderful ‘little gherkins’. After our board we were quite replete and there was no-way we could have managed a dessert, but an extra glass of Viognier for my Partner, and a wonderful 10-year-old Tawny Port for myself, finished-off the meal splendidly."
