Despite it's dinky appearance they seem to have crammed in any lotion, potion and herb you are ever likely to need. I was in enquiring about something I had read about online, and not only did they have it, but suggested something else that would be better, and it was. Google can suggest, but the nutmeg can advise- that is a big positive difference.

I wanna start drinking a certain type of tea or heard that Miso soup is the healthiest thing on Earth (it tastes like unhappiness)and I turn to Nutmeg. It's quite a cramped shop and they have filled it as best they can. On the left hand side is the organic, whole foods that are all sourced from Fair trade marked groups keeping with the shops ethical policy. The right hand side is for the sweet, sweet drugs. They stock all sorts of natural remedies and pick me ups straight from natures pharmacies all over the world. The staff are passionate about what they are trying to promote and can get a little on the preachy side, but its their shop after all.

Staff are so friendly and helpful. Nice space. Bigger than I expected. Bright at the front. Darker in the back. Have a good size of menus. Brunch all day which is great. Seems to be what everyone's opting for. Either the sweet spuds dish or the saucy spuds dish. Think would like to try their fry next time. They have a range of protein balls. Also other snacks like muffins etc. They can make you all sorts of drinks. Many flavours and choices of milk. The food and drink is as described. So don't come here looking super sweet,saucy or flavoured stuff. It's a healthy take on food so it tastes that way. It's fresh and nice and leaves you feeling not bloated etc when leaving. Prices where decent. Don't be afraid to turn up in your Lycra. Seems to be standard here.

New store just opened in city centre. Small but very well stocked selection of food supplements…read more Big name brands at very good prices, better than online. Will have protein shakes, smoothies and food ready to go. I was chatting to the girl working and she was really friendly and helpful with the products. She mentioned several new products they had on order that I usually buy from musclefood online so im very excited to see someone local is stocking. The owner runs a few local gyms and is one of the best supps distributor in Ireland. Glad to see he is back in the city centre. Will update review once ive tried some more products.

Visited 387 Ormeau Road yesterday and had the nicest sausage roll and oat milk latte I've ever…read moretried. Love that everything on offer is vegan and reasonably priced with a wealth of options to choose from e.g. filled wraps, bagels, salads, stews, soups, cakes and tray bakes. It's also heaven to have a choice of plant-based milks for coffee i.e. oat, almond or soy - such an improvement on offerings found at other Belfast cafes. My food was delicious and coffee flawless. In this, the age of excess hipster cafes, unfortunately it's still difficult to find good coffee, but thankfully 387 offers exceptional coffee. Additionally, this place doubles up as a health food shop with shelves, a freezer and a cooler brimming with goodies. After enjoying my coffee and food I did a mini grocery shop stocking up on vegan cheese, tofurkey slices, sausages, burgers, soups and chilli mayo. A lovely, relaxed spot with friendly, helpful staff and outside seating for sunny days. Decor is natural, focused on muted grey shades, wooden furniture, soft lighting and green plants. Everything about this cafe is synonymous with ease, relaxation and quality. I'm very glad 387 has arrived on the Belfast food scene and hope it flourishes. I will definitely be back.

Best place for vegan food in Belfast! Cheers from LA

It specialises in a range of all things veggie, which to be honest generally puts me right off (Meat and more meat please) but the way in which they've put the menu together it really is a little more than the usual vegetarian fare. I had some kind of chick pea curry which was really tasty. Richly flavoured with a good whack of spices, well seasoned it's the sort of thing that would go very well with a piece of slow cooked lamb in a tagine (the tagine is now my preferred way to slow cook anything, pick one up from Tk Maxx or any good home store and try a Moroccan lamb dish.... amazing) Well worth a try.

I wanted to try some sample sizes of protein. They give me them for free!!!. I have had bloating with the protein I am on at the minute so was looking for an alternative. They answered all my questions over Facebook and helped me more when I came into the shop. Annoyed that I have not been in here before now. A lot of the stuff I looked at I pay more for online. Could have saved myself time and wasted money buying the wrong things. They have lots of stock from drink containers to snacks. The snack bars are the cheapest I have seen anywhere. Super impressed. The people that own the shop know their stuff and don't stock any junk products. It's very ethical and honest. As Arnie says; I will be back!

DATE OF VISIT: Sunday 8 May 2016 for an evening dinner…read more MENU: Relatively good but really needing more Vegetarian and Vegan options and for these to be clearly marked on menu. There was some sort of separate nutritional sheet which also showed Vegetarian options but it's a hassle having to look at different bits of paper and would be much more user friendly just to have Veggy dishes marked with a V on the main menu. FOOD: Sharing hummus platter starter was delicious. Superfood salad fresh and mildly flavoured whilst the beetroot and falafel burger in a bread bun was a tad mushy, bland and greasy plus the sour tasting yogurt dip/sauce it was served with didn't do much to enhance the overall flavour. Side of sweet potato fries were nice and crispy but with a weird greasy aftertaste. Portion sizes were good. DRINK: Bottle of Pinot Grigio was delightfully cold, mild and easy to drink. COST: Average with total bill of £38.85 for two people. SERVICE: Faultless, pleasant and quick. RESTAURANT DECOR/ AMBIENCE: Average, nothing special or out of the ordinary. Quite a few families with kids there when we visited. IN SUMMARY: Slim's Kitchen serve good food if a bit lacking in taste and I suspect a few dishes are not as healthy as they pertain to be since some of our food tasted quite greasy. However, it's still a reasonably good restaurant for a bite to eat, just nothing exceptional. A place claiming to be healthy also really need to offer a greater range of and more clearly marked Vegetarian and Vegan meals. I would return if friends wished to dine in Slim's however it wouldn't be my personal first choice.

Slims shakes are famous of their vegetable and fruit juice mixes that they dont add anything else but the actual real fresh fruit and vegetable to. I ordered a Superfood salad with no cheese which came in a good-sized bowl and looked super appetising!

Unfortunately i didnt get the name of our waitress, but she was really friendly and helpful. I can definitely recommended Slims to anybody, vegan or not, everything is fresh and beautifully served. Thank you girls from Slims who served us today! It was delicious and the service was lovely!

I have been on the hunt for some supplements with summer around the corner and I thought Holland and Barrett would be a good bet to get them at a discounted rate. To be fair they did have some deals on and the girl in this store was really helpful. As soon as I went in she asked what I was after and told me the deals. They are currently doing buy one get one half price on all protein (May '16). The store itself is small and really easy to navigate. It's not overly busy so you should be able to ask the members of staff for a hand if you're having issues. They often do a penny sale so I would wait for that to come around rather than shelling out full price. A-OK but unfortunately I couldn't find exactly what i was looking for - the hunt goes on!
