    a slice of pizza in a box
    Shweta V.

    Disappointing portions. A $20 lasagna was 3 spoons only , not enough for one person. It is honestly embarrassing! Should not be put into entrees. Probably wont order again.

    PMK BOWL
    Annaliese K.

    I've been to this spot several times and it has been one of my favourite places to go for vegan food! I've tried several items of the menu but unfortunately only took pics of 2 but i will try to explain the others. Ice coffee: I got an ice coffee when i was dining in and there were a variety of plant based milk to choose from! The waiter offered the hazelnut almond creamer for me to try and I took his advice. Wow. It was so good, i have been trying to find the creamer ever since, so if anyone knows, let me know haha Poutine: The poutine was made with potato wedges instead of fries which I loved. The wedges were thick, drizzled with a "gravy" and white sauce and vegan cheese curds. They were absolutely delightful. I even asked the waiter where it was from and it's from a locally sourced vegan manufacturer called the green goddess i believe. Amazing. The tofu bowl The tofu was made to perfection. Tofu is always something that is hard to make in my opinion as it could taste bland and gross or it could be the best thing you've ever had. They nailed it with the marinate and it was so good. The bowl was also very filling and I love the sauce that goes with it. I've also had the vegan Mac and cheese as well as the mushroom flatbread before and they were also to die for, especially the Mac and cheese! Overall, it's my favourite vegan restaurant to go to and I would definitely recommend it! 10/10

    Fig & Farro Bowl
    Matt B.

    Good little all-vegan spot in central-ish London but with free street parking out front. I stopped for a late lunch looking for a health bowl. So I tried their Fig & Farro Bowl ($17 plus tax), which comes with a base of farrow and kale, apple slices, pickled beets, navy beans, sweet potato, candied cashews, and pumpkin sides, served with a sweet fig dressing on the side. It was pretty solid, with very fresh ingredients, maybe a bit on the sweet side, but with a nice variety. Friendly service and a very comfortable, upper-scale-but-casual feel to it. I wish they ditched the organic food scam though. Overall, recommended.

    Vegan "bacon" cheeseburger up close

    Hip-feeling, organic and vegan lunch cafe just South of downtown London. A great place to stop for a healthy bite to eat. The food is good and they take their greens and veggies seriously! Came on a Friday around 1pm and it wasn't crowded at all. My friend got the raw bowl which was just a boat load of spinach with shredded beets, carrots, and other organic goodies on top. Definitely one of the healthiest things I've seen recently at a restaurant. I got a vegan burger that the server described as similar to a bacon cheeseburger. I wouldn't say it mimics a burger, but it was very good! The patty seemed like some kind of nut/soy mix, the tempeh strips were savory, and it came with some greens and a dressing that had a balsamic flavor. Yum! Only small issue is that it was soggy and fell apart easily once I started eating.

    Gf pizza, chili(soup of the day), and curried potato poutine
    Katherine G.

    We stopped by for dinner on a saturday night. We were serenaded by live music. Their menu is wonderful for those who follow gluten free or nut free diets. We had the curried potato "poutine". As a poutine impurist, i loved this combination of potatoes, seasoning, mushroom sauce, and nut based cheese sauce topped with pea sprouts. However, i do recognize that by calling this poutine it is doing real poutine a diservice. My partner got the chili(soup of the day) and gluten free pizza. I equated it to salad on a tortilla but it was also delicious! I was expecting more than cheese sauces for these vegan alternatives. Although we were decieved by the names of the dishes, they were delicious none-the-less! It's a great addition to the community here.

    Beyond meat Burger with caeser salad
    Payal D.

    I hate to be that person but I really didn't feel anything was all that special here... Maybe cause it's Thanksgiving Day and every other place was closed? They were rammed... And service was very slow but if you don't care about that or the fact that they charged me $6 for a kids juice box ( yes I'm not kidding I even asked my server cause my tea was $3.50 and an Americano costs $4 ... How can a juice box, not fresh juice mind you that didn't come with the kids meal like it does every other place.... Cost $6!?).. Then by all means consider this a decent vegan cafe. Ok let's get past that and talk about the better news - the food!! I got the Philly cheese steak made with seitan with and a side of their daily soup, which happened to be tofu noodle today. Hubs got their beyond meat all dressed up with the caeser salad. Both entrees were great, I low key regretted not getting a side of the potato wedges just cuz they looked so yummy on all the other plates. My daughter got the kids beyond meat Burger with a side of chips which I thought would be potato chips but turns out there blue corn so you learn something new... The food was definitely fresh and the flavours married well together you can tell they put a lot of thought into ensuring that the food does not lack flavour. Also I was so excited to see a kid's beyond meat on the menu because usually there isn't one at other places... In fact that's one of the bigger reasons we picked this as one of our stops on our way home to Toronto because it's tough to find places with kids menus that offer a decent vegetarian protein option. Would I be back I guess would be the right question to ask but to be brutally honest I will not be going out of my way considering today's service and price tag. While he food did arrive in Decent amount of time..we waited quite a bit to just have dishes cleared or get extra napkins frankly it's not the service fault she was over busy. However I would say if you are a local or frequently in the area and you don't need to be there over a long weekend like I was I definitely recommend their food.

    COBB SALAD and PMK BOWL
    Anna G.

    4.5 STARS Decided to try this place out as it is highly rated online and anything vegan is my jam. My friend and I stopped by for lunch on a weekday. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside - lots of white and green - and there are a good amount of tables for seating. We decided to sit on the patio as it was a beautiful sunny, warm day. Just a note, alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the patio, so you'll have to sit inside. Our waitress said the lunch menu is smaller than the dinner menu, but I still found it to have a good variety of options. We ordered the Mediterranean Flatbread to share. My friend ordered the Cobb Salad, and I ordered the PMK bowl with rice noodles and creamy cucumber dill dressing. We finished off with a little dessert: Triple Chocolate Cake. We were really hungry and ended up ordering a little too much food, but I had the leftovers for dinner, and I really liked the flavours cold! FOOD: The food was really great! Our flatbread was tasty, but a little burnt, otherwise I would have given my review 5 stars. My friend loved her salad and my PMK bowl was a large serving, really filling, and packed with ingredients (the pickled cucumbers were BOMB!). However, I didn't think the creamy cucumber dill dressing complemented the ingredients well - I think the ginger miso would have worked better! The highlight for me was the chocolate cake. HOLY MOLY IS WAS DELICIOUS!! An omnivore would not be able to tell it was vegan! OVERALL: Highly recommend and would definitely be back!

    Vegan enchilada with lots of guacamole!
    Kerry H.

    My husband and I came here today on a Valentine's Day date. We made a reservation and I'm glad we did because the restaurant was very busy! There was water on the table and everything was very clean. Since it was V-Day, they were offering a special prix fixe menu but we were still able to order off the regular menu. We had spinach dip for an appetizer, I had the Mac & "cheese" for my entree and my husband had the enchilada. All the food was hot and delicious! Shawn also tried two different beers (one was a vegan beer) and said they were good. I eat a lot of vegan food because I'm lactose intolerant and have a lot of food allergies, and it was so nice to be able to eat anything I wanted on the menu. The servers were very friendly and we never felt rushed even though it was very busy. I will definitely be back!

    I stopped by Plant Matter Kitchen for lunch, when I found myself in London unexpectedly. A quick search on Yelp turned up a few interesting options. Fresh and locally-sourced ingredients tipped the scale in favor of PMK. The ambience is welcoming, with white and green paint, distressed wood, and wire-rope decor. The entrance area makes the place look cramped, but there's plentiful seating to the right of the counter. The open kitchen makes the chef and cooks accessible, and they were engaging their patrons, both with plentiful smiles and eye-contact, as well as friendly banter. Kelsey, our server, was friendly and attentive. She promptly got us our menus, informed us of the day's specials, and confirmed that despite conventional ingredient names, everything was plant-based. We got started with a soup of the day, which was a black bean and curried vegetables soup. It was flavorful, served at the right temperature for me, and a good texture: not overly blended, nor completely unprocessed. I also got an order of the Belly bowl, with soba noodles. It was also very flavorful. The pickled vegetables were not at all overpowering. The fresh vegetables, and Booch dressing were in the right proportions to balance out the pickles. I ended with a Power Smoothie to-go. It, too, was great- not too thick, not too thin; right amount of sweet, and perfect temperature. Kelsey checked up on us two or three times, which was great. Highly recommended for vegans and non-vegans alike!

    Roasted Garlic Spinach Dip
    Lauren H.

    'The vegans are taking over!' - quote from a friend. It's true, and they're making delicious food too! A friend of mine asked if I had been here yet, and of course I hadn't and I had been wanting to try it, so I said lets go! We went on a Wednesday night around 7:30pm and it was busy, but we were able to get a seat right by the open concept kitchen. We were seated by the open concept kitchen and windows, the lighting was dim, but the company was great! We were handed our menus and there was water already at the table. We browsed through the menu and decided on an appetizer of creamy garlic and spinach dip, and for our main course I got the linguini with wild mushroom and a balsamic reduction (that excited me the most!) and she got the calzone. Our app came out first, it was hot, creamy and you wouldn't even know there wasn't made with any cheese or dairy just by looking at it. It was super tasty. The linguini with the mushroom was delicious and her calzone came as two small sized ones, the tomato sauce was delicious and it was paired with a caesar salad which she gobbled up first. The experience was wonderful, the servers were wonderful, and the food was delicious. It was all in all a great experience. We were talking to our server afterwards about how pleased we were, and I told him that I hope to come back soon when I visit, as I am moving away. London has recently exploded with plant based restaurants and I think it's absolutely amazing how were moving forward into this. Like my friend said, 'the vegans are taking over!' And the food is delicious.

    You won't miss the meat. PMK packs their dishes with flavor. I ordered the curried black bean and vegetable soup. If anyone knows where I can get the recipe, I wouldn't hate it. I also had the Belly Bowl... I love beets, which paired nicely with the rest of the picked veggies and soba noodles. Best plant based restaurant and juice bar I've been to in London, ON... so far.

    Potato bowl
    Kristie W.

    Cute vegan restaurant in one of my favourite neighbourhoods, but the food was mediocre. The brunch items were not bad but not spectacular. Simple recipes and not the best ratio of protein and veg to carbs. The potato bowl was good, but it tastes like something I can easily whip up at home. I wish it came with some sort of protein. Also, it sat on a wet bed of roasted veggies. My favourite part was the tempeh, actually--most likely because it was greasy and slathered in sauce.

I had the classic breakfast which was so, so good and I really like that their home fries come mixed with yams and potatoes.

It seemed as though the daily specials are available until they sell out; perhaps a regular diner could confirm this. They looked good, but we were late, so we settled for pickings from the standard menu. Options include soups, salads ($4.65-$10), sandwiches and burgers ($9.50-$13), lunch bowls ($11-12.50) and all-day breakfast (actually just breakfast and lunch, so it's a pretty short day!). The beverage selection is extensive, including coffee, tea, smoothies, sodas that I haven't seen elsewhere in London, iced coffee, juices and more. All of the coffee and tea selections were under $5. There is a self-serve water station which is a nice touch; probably easier on staff, too. I appreciated their attempts to avoid single-use utensils and dinnerware. The only disposable waste were the paper napkins and the receipt. Food came out quickly and it really hit the spot. Good-sized portions were tasty and as described. Come out and support a business that supports the community!
