Vantra the honest reviewer

I met up with a group of vegan friends the other night for a vegan treat at vantra on wardour street. They actually have quite a few raw dishes and as a high raw vegan eater that was good news for me. You know me the Honest reviewer, will give my honest opinion, maybe good maybe bad 🤣. I loved the evening and the company but this is definitely not my favourite restaurant and I think it might struggle. I wish I had gotten more photos of the venue but it is underground and painted almost exclusively black and adorned with very fake plastic plants, which as you can imagine black walls and no natural light ... that’s pretty dark! I think some grow lights and a few plants and some white paint would open the place up a lot!

I started with one of these vocktails, it was strawberry, orange, rosemary and kefir with a bunch of other things, this was delicious and was the best thing I had hands down.

For mains I had a couple of small plates as I thought it would be a chance to try a couple of dishes but they were quite small and honestly not the best. I was expecting the sushi rolls to come with parsnip rice or something f but they were just dry nori sheets with some veg and a tiny bit of vegan mayo. It’s not that great when you get home and are dying to eat cause your so hungry 🤣 to be fair the raw big dish did look rly big and much better I would 100 percent have that next time. There were also no deserts on at that time other than ice cream. Overall I would come here for a juice or a smoothie but then I think only in the winter when it was favourable to be underground in a black room.

It’s hard to find raw vegan places these days so I am always on the side of being very generous with reviews so this wasn’t a great impression i got! But I did have a really fun time with friends and I’ll give that strawbeeeh drink a 10/10
