Tasty raw food presented beautifully with great flavours. Portion sizes appear small but are actually quite filling. The desserts were the highlight (as is often the case with raw food in my opinion) - we had the cheesecake and brownie which were both delicious.
Favourite main was Pad Thai though wo
I have my ear pretty closely pressed to the ground when it comes to new vegan restaurants, which is why I was so surprised to stumble across this place in Shoreditch only in passing. Hadn't heard about it at all, which given the work that has clearly gone into making it extraordinary I found quite s
After reading about Essence and then perusing the google reviews it was on my list of places to dine at. If you also keep such a list, move Essence to the top. Now. It has mastered presentation, affordability, service and food with panache. My burger loving husband could not stop talking about it
How can raw vegan food taste this good?! I'm a carnivore but my partner's a vegan so I surprised her with a trip to Essence while secretly planning to pop to the nearest burger bar as soon as we'd finish. I was the one left surprised. I can honestly say it's some of the tastiest food I've ever exper
I almost don’t want to write this review because I don’t want this place to get too busy for me to come back!
I went last week with my girlfriend, who had found a review of it online. It’s quite an unusual space, slightly narrow, with small, but cute expandable tables along each side for people to
Exceptional raw and vegan food! I had their kelp noodles "cacio & pepe" which was creamy with just the right amount of spice. It's rare to find something I can eat out while on this strict raw veg and fruit cleanse! The courgette hummus was also fantastic.
Matthew Kenney is somewhat of a pioneer when it comes to both plant-based and raw cuisine. So glad he finally has an outpost in London. Taco Tuesday every week! Cant get enough
Loved the Heirloom Tomato Lasagna and Green Curry. Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu. Highly recommend.
I'm not vegan but I'm adventurous with food. Having in mind that it's a vegan place the food was very good even for non-vegans. My favourite dish was pad thai. Service was great. Nice people work there. Food is by far the most important factor for which I give stars therefore I'm still giving this p
That was absolutely fantastic... Entire menu of stunning vegan food.. We loved it. Anjali the head chef is clearly a master of her craft. Coming from New Zealand this was the best food we have had in England. The Scandinavian looking Scot was a delight as well 🙂
I went in with my husband for lunch and were delighted at the wonderful food that awaited us. The chocolate vegan smoothie was amazing and so was my lasagne. The staff is very knowledgable and you can see that they live what they serve. They are still in their soft launch phase and the formal openin
I am so glad to have found this little gem. Some of the best food I have ever eaten. Incredible flavours. The service was also wonderful with a playful atmosphere. Incredible value for money and we couldn't resist trying almost everything on the menu as each dish blew us away. We even bought some fo
Lovely, clean and not too busy with a nice atmosphere. Food was great, the staff recomended the Scrambled Chickpea... It was nice a great quick clean light lunch. Made healthy eating a little less painful, but a tad expensive.
Pad Thai is really good and my favorite. Be sure to try the vegan cheese and lasagna as well. You won't be disappointed, great raw food restaurant. Staff is very nice also, well done!
This strictly raw restaurant is one of the most tasty places I've ever been.
I would give 4 stars because the "tables" are rather uncomfortable (mine had a wall bench, had to keep my head facing right the entire dinner, very uncomfortable) but then the food was a 6, so...
The majority of the raw vegan menu is crafted by the world's most famous plant based chef Mathew Kenney. The slick stylish minimal interior by Andreas Bozarth fits perfectly with the creative Shoreditch vibe. A nice place to hang out and enjoy the superfood drinks and healthy food.
