This restaurant is so tasty and inviting. If you're a vegan or vegetarian, you must visit. It's a must try!

I visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago. According to a staff member, the menu used to be completely vegetarian until last year, but that is no longer the case. The organic vegetable curry is vegan, while the natural plate comes with chicken and pork but can be made vegan upon request (the quiche is made with okara and tofu). Both dishes were tasty, though a bit pricey. Photos of other menu items can be found on the provided link. However, I noticed inside the restaurant that there were numerous books, posters, and newspapers promoting misinformation about the Covid vaccine being dangerous. This made the atmosphere uncomfortable, despite the friendly staff. Unfortunately, I do not plan on returning, even though there are limited vegetarian/vegan-friendly options in the area.

I was also disappointed to find that the restaurant displayed and sold materials spreading misinformation about the COVID vaccine and other unscientific claims. This made the atmosphere uncomfortable for me, despite the friendly staff. It's unfortunate because there are not many vegetarian/vegan-friendly options in the area. I don't plan on returning due to this experience.
