Durvo — Restaurant in Spring Valley

Fresh ingredients, caring staff, healthy vegan options, delicious combinations.

I went in right after opening on a weekday night and was the only patron for the almost 90 minutes I was there. Because of this, I felt bad for the place, they have done a great job creating a relaxing, even romantic atmosphere.

I ordered the crab cakes appetizer (jackfruit and artichoke hearts) and the pesto pasta with tofu. The crab cakes were perfect! The three large cakes were crispy, had great texture, and were topped with some pickled slaw and garnished with a sprig of crispy fried kale.

The pesto pasta was just that, the pasta had a nice dense texture, a good size portion, and the pesto was flavorful. I had the pesto pst at Crossroads a day or two later and the dishes are comparable. The tofu kicker was just ok, the tofu was slightly watery and the fried coating did not stick but it did not detract from the total dining experience.

The Three Layers of Love dessert was a masterpiece! The walnut cashew cream was thick, almost cake-like, and formed a nice base. The mango sherbert was tangy, sweet and not too sweet, and the matcha mousse offered a contrast note of the slightest hint of matcha bitterness from the bit of matcha powder sprinkled over it.

Overall it was a great meal in a lovely atmosphere and I'll return when I'm...

We were a little unsure what to do on entering the restaurant, there was something that looked like an unused host station. We waited briefly than walked back and were met enthusiastically by our server for the evening who offered us seating at the table of our choice. We found the overall aesthetic of the dining room quite nice and the music selection was very pleasant.

We decided to order the steak and potatoes dish and the pesto pasta with tofu. Both dishes tasted great. One minor downside was that both dishes had elements that weren’t mentioned in the menu. Tomatoes in the case of the pasta, onions in the mashed potatoes. I don’t enjoy either so skipped the potatoes and let my wife tackle the tomatoes :) That aside, the pasta sauce was outstanding, the tofu breading was crispy and well seasoned. The plant steak was one of the best textures and tastes of plant based meat I have experienced yet.

Overall a lovely meal, great service, great food, hard to...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Durvo, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the sweetest lady, the owner, who made me feel like I was part of the family. Her warmth and passion for her restaurant are truly reflected in every aspect of Durvo.

The food is absolutely amazing. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the love and care that goes into every bite. Whether you're vegan or not, the flavors are so rich and satisfying, you won’t even miss the meat!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is so welcoming and cozy. It’s the perfect place for a relaxed meal, with a vibe that feels both modern and inviting. It’s clear that Durvo is a labor of love, and I can’t wait to return for more of their delicious offerings. If you’re looking for a top-notch vegan experience, this is the place to be!
