My partner and I were out for our final night visiting Nelson. Found ourselves enjoying the best meal yet! We had the ‘crumbed hot pot’ and ‘kissadeer’. Both meals were absolutely fantastic, the vibe and the staff were amazing. Wish we found this place earlier!!! See you again soon.

Vegan and amazing. Delicious food and super helpful staff. We ended up having all our meals in Nelson with them!!
Vicky and Tejas run this place and are very helpful too. Our flight out of Nelson got cancelled after checking in and we were stuck for 8 hours. They graciously agreed to store our bags 🤗.

What a great experience! This was our second time visiting the restaurant!
We had the burger, garbanzo fingers, and Buddha bowl plus desserts, coffees and drinks. Absolutely wow, delicious, beautifully presented and such a cool place. I didn’t take enough photos as we ate them before I had a chance.
I just wish they were open more as we would come a lot more frequently. Sundays please!

I adored this place. Super animal friendly, my dog was allowed inside while I had a delicious veggie meal and a cocktail. The atmosphere is the most beautiful I’ve seen in New Zealand. I’ll be back!

This was the best vegan meal of our entire trip to New Zealand. After our first night at East St. we quickly made a reservation to eat here again the next day. Highly recommend.

When you walk in it’s an instant wow, the decor is amazing!
I’ve been here twice now and both times the food has been on point with some of the best vegan food I’ve had.
The first time I got the nachos which were amazing. My friend got one of the salads with falafel and it looked good so I came back a couple of days later and ordered it.
It was really tasty, it had so many different flavours which had the sourness from the pickled cabbage and the nuttiness of the tahini and the seeds which made it really well balanced.
My dad got the sandwich and fries which he said he really enjoyed, we also got the immunity tea which was really yummy.
I’m here on holiday and I intend to come back at least once again before I leave.

Really delicious food here! I had the chickpea fries and the chicken burger. Had to stop myself from trying the Creme Brûlée. Will be coming back and trying that again next time for sure!

Love this place! Finally, a real Vegan/Plant Based restaurant and I do friends like the food here too. Delicious variety of starters, mains and desserts. Great wine and lovely hospitality! All my kids love it too!

Excellent spot for GF and vegan food. Not a vegan myself but definitely still enjoyed the meal. Super quiet when we went but still had a good atmosphere. Friendly staff and good sized portions of food. Definitely recommend it.

My sister and I were visiting Nelson and decided we would like vegetarian for dinner so we popped into East St and we were warmly welcomed and taken care of by Malakai. He was so helpful and went out of his way to help us to have the best experience. We had a small serve of garlic bread for entree and then I had the Spanakopita special while my sister had the Stack Attack (not sure if correct name) , both were delicious and very satisfying. We highly recommend East St and the service.
