A warm dish of various lightly cooked veg, drizzled with a little dressing (slight tang, not overwhelming), served over a tomato-based pesto-ish sauce, with za'tar spice in the side. Tasty and light, with lovely, well-balanced flavours. I've enjoyed everything I've had at this restaurant, which has a great vibe, friendly, efficient staff and excellent artisan bread.

A lovely creamy hot chocolate, just served a bit too cold.

Choose this for the tofu and aubergine. The pear was very weird. Still enjoyable though, but wish I’d gotten a bowl or the burger instead.

I enjoyed this slice! A nice treat after a meal. Was expecting a bit more when I saw the other pastries but still, nice to have an option.

Delicious salad of baby spinach, red quinoa, shitake mushrooms, Kale, broccoli and roasted chickpeas with a creamy romanesco dressing. I always approach roasted chickpeas with caution. If not done well (sadly, very often), they're just dry, bleh balls of saliva-vampire 😉. But Ile de Pain nail it in this salad. Light and crisp little chickpea chappies of happiness. My only wish was for a bigger portion. I was peckish again fairly soon after this lunch. But this is a really tasty mix of beautiful, fresh ingredients and I would eagerly order it again (but, alas, I still have to work through the rest of their menu first... Rules are rules 😉)

Really enjoyed this. Only downside for me is that some parts were warm and some were cold so not sure if that is how it’s supposed to be served. But very tasty and will order again next time we visit. #pigsnpaws

Unreal flavours, texture and presentation! Portion was a tad small for an appetite like mine, but wow it was so tasty 🤩 best brunch I’ve had in ages. Tofu, aubergine, toasted peach, peppers and a chili sólo dressing topped with micro greens 🤤

Bruschetta with aubergine, red peppers, peaches (did not expect that flavour combo to taste so good!) and tofu. Excellent flavours, great service and beautiful setting. Mushroom plant based burger was also very scrummy as was the vegan victory cake and iced oat cappuccino. Really great selection of high quality vegan breakfast and lunch options.

This meal was really filling and delicious! It had miso maple sweet potato pieces, roasted cauliflower purée, a crispy cashew cheese wonton and dukkah. I would definitely order this again!

A well-thought out dish (middle eastern spiced tofu, sautéed spinach, tomato salsa, lime coconut nogurt and pickled red onion on sourdough toast) but there was sadly, hardly any tofu to speak of. It was huge on flavour though.
