Great vegan option in somerset west

Really tasty and nutritious food served buffet style. Great option for lunch if you're travelling through the area. There were 2 hot dishes, vegan and g/f pizza, plus an extensive salad selection. Would definitely return again. Shame it's only open mon - fri.

We visited on a public holiday monday (may 1st) and were relieved to find it was open.

A little gem

Mary-Ann’s family run restaurant and shop offers the most delicious and nutritious buffet lunch. The menu varies daily and we had Beautiful fresh salads, zucchini lasagna, quinoa and lots of other delicious goodies. Highly recommend!

The best whole food plant based food you’ll ever eat!!!!!

Oh my goodness we had the most amazing, delicious and super nutritious buffet style food! The flavourfulness of the food is unmatched to any vegan restaurant I’ve been to and there’s a few in Shanghai where I’m currently living.
Gluten free pizza…wow wow wow wow
The salads! That lasagne delectable to the power of infinity and beyond.
I won’t even begin to mention the brownie and ice cream situation we had…it was a melt in your mouth caramelised peacan nuts carob chocolatey situation that I would kill for the recipe!!!

Honestly next time I’m in the Cape Town area my lunch schedule will revolve around Mary-Anns restaurant.
If you haven’t eaten there, what are you waiting for?

Pros: Gluten free, Refined sugar free, Full of flavour

Cons: Doesn’t open weekends , Closes early

Literally the best Vegan restaurant I’ve been to

An incredible buffet with a variety of healthy yet tasty AF food. Everything is made in-house from the bread to the sauces. I wish it were closer to where I live cause I would eat here every day given half the chance.

Pros: Tasty food, Good vibes, Variety

Great Buffet

Just a nice day out to start the Easter weekend with lovely Thai Curry. Great food and lovely setting with awesome views.
The Strawberry ice cream was to die for.

Lovely

Healthy whole some foods. Super delicious! The lunch buffet starts at 12, you should try it. Very fresh, high quality and healthy.
Only dissapointed they use honey as they say they are 100% vegan.

I went to the buffet lunch on a Sunday (all vegan) - I tried a bit of everything and it was all delicious! The lasagne was crazily good. The store also sold some pretty cool things :)

Burst of Great flavours

Went there yesterday and got to speak to Mark the friendly co-owner of the place. The staff are very friendly too.

I enjoyed the capachino with almond milk which I sweetened with fructose. We had the full plate buffet for R140, where we got a second helping. The food was delicious, with each item bringing out a Burst of unique Great flavours. Throughly enjoyed the roostie, the marinated mushrooms, curry, cashew mayo, chilli relish. A wholesome delicious meal.

Everything was gluten free and mostly vegan. Only the honey, peanut butter honey, honey in the hot chilli relish.

They have a variety of breakfast bowls, smoothies and juices. Some make use of honey and yogurt.

They also have a grocery section selling a variety of things like dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, card, sanitary products, cleaning products etc.

They also make use of biodegeable packaging made from cellulose.

The seating areas are very summery and cool. The place is kept clean and neat.

Really recommend a must go to place to eat amazing food.

Pros: Lots of Vegan options, Burst of flavourful food

Cons: Uses honey and dairy.

Thank you for the glowing review.. just want to correct the last statement.. There is ABSOLUTELY NO DAIRY IN OR ON OUR PREMISES OR FOOD!
We do sell honey and we do have honey in some of our sweet snacks.. but we are working on getting that changed over..

Cons: Honey.
