Luna's Vegan Corner — Restaurant in Wales

I was really curious to see a place with seventy seven 5* reviews, and literally nothing below that … so when I was in a pinch for where to go for a Birthday/Christmas dinner, I chose here. And wow. Now I see why!!!

First - what a delightful place to eat. Fairy lights, such a warm reception, and honestly, I’ve never seen ANYone so organised in my life! As soon as we reserved our place, Kavita messaged me to set up a group chat, and we had menus, seating, etc. All was organised before we got there, so that the whole thing was a breeze, right through paying at the end.

Then, the people!! You’d be hard pressed to find a warmer, more gorgeous set of people anywhere. They literally baked me a cake for my birthday and brought it in … from them to me! Even though we weren’t planning on a cake or anything!! (And oh my word was it divine … and I don’t even normally really like cake!!)

And then, the food! The FOOD!!! Holy cow. OK - so we had starters, mains and desert, plus the cake … and every single thing was mind-blowingly good!! So much so that we have been again already, and plan to go back again absolutely any time we get a chance in the future!!! And we already had a place we loved to go with amazing food. But wow. This really did take the cake.

I would unreservedly recommend the beetroot tart, pasta with wild mushroom sauce, and the brownie for desert. Might I add- I am a brownie SNOB. In fact, I’ve had a really unhealthy number of brownies in my life, and honestly, the only ones I’ve ever truly loved are ones I’ve made for myself. But this brownie was that, PLUS! How they improved on my brownie perfection I have no idea!! And the mushroom pasta - even folks who have never been able to give up dairy would love it. And that’s a tall ask for non-vegans when it comes to cheesy-things (you’ll know what I mean. It’s always the cheese). They also had a jackfruit and chickpea dish (stroganoff?? Can’t remember) - and I’m not a fan of chickpeas … but Kavita recommended it to me … and it’s the first time ever that I’ve actually ENJOYED chickpeas!! It was DELICIOUS! But honestly - many dishes to choose from - from in-house burgers to a Buddha bowl, soups, etc.

Not only do they have a solid regular menu, but for holidays they also have a holiday menu on top. And I think every one of the 19 people there that day thoroughly enjoyed themselves and what they ordered.

Yup - I’m a super-fan now. And so is my whole family. And I feel like Kavita is becoming a new and...

so good!!! this is possibly already my favourite vegan place in the city, either way it's certainly fantastic and a not-so-hidden hidden gem. I really prefer Luna's to most other vegan places I've been to.

lovely calm atmosphere and decor, nice light airy space, a quiet retreat from the busy loud neighbourhood. wonderful service from Kavita! she's very friendly, attentive and helpful. service timing-wise was great too.

I got the elderflower press and buddha salad w half and half tofu and falafel on recommendation from her! I got a tiny chai 'latte' on the house too which was a delightful surprise and so kind - foamy aromatic and delicious, really good chai. the salad was visually beautiful, a very generous serving, amazing endless combinations of flavours and textures, filling but not at all heavy on the stomach. just delicious and for £13 a great price for a fantastic main.

the soup of the day sounded really good and I was hungry after a long day so I had that as well - pea and asparagus - with toasted bread and butter. the soup was unexpectedly and wonderfully savoury and umami. delicious and really comforting.

also got an unexpected taster glass of the gym bunny juice - so good, refreshing and tasty. a really nice way to end the meal.

if you want a quiet dinner then go for a weeknight. i'm autistic and struggle with loud/busy spaces and went on a thursday night and it was lovely and quiet but certainly not empty. the music is at a good level as well in terms of sensory needs.

will be back to try the rest of the menu, the other fresh juices, the lunchtime meal deals and the sunday roast [it apparently gets busy for that so if you want to, make a booking on the website!], and will have to bring friends! and the pear and almond tart, which sounded very appealing and was spoken of highly by another customer.

really reasonable prices as well, I paid £25 for everything after a tip, you could definitely have a good meal for much less too, but for a really lovely dinner date for one it was still super affordable.

thank you so much! I'll be back and look...

We had been looking forward to going to Luna's for a while, after hearing it's great reviews as a vegan restaurant. Unfortunately the experience wasn't what we'd hoped. I would give 1 star except for how polite the staff were.

The first time I tried to eat at Luna's we were told they had no sandwiches, though the lunchtime menu in the window said sandwiches. So we made the effort of going back. This time, the restaurant was empty when we went inside, but we were told they don't really do sandwiches on Saturdays. Even though the lunch menu on the door didn't specify days. They seemed to feel guilty though so spoke to chef, and did make us sandwiches. What disappointing sandwiches they were! Simple, plain sliced bread, with seitan that had no flavour, and a few small pieces of salad. I would rather pay more than £3 and have had a delicious, stuffed full sandwich on tasty bread, with crisps and salad on the side. Like you might expect from a cafe. The sandwiches we left didn't even fill us up. The friendly lady also gave us water for the table - but gave us each a glass half full of hot water. Whilst my hands were grateful for the heat to hold, I don't like drinking hot water (I think that's fairly usual?) so then felt stuck with this random half glass of hot water to dispose of before I could drink the cold water in the provided bottle.

Overall it was quite a weird experience. From feeling unwelcome as soon as we came in for only wanting a light lunch, to the empty place meaning that the two workers were simply standing there watching us eat, I was very disappointed with the meal. I am sorry to say I have no...
