Holy Cow Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was stunning. We left very happy, warm and full."
• "Food was amazing! I had a soup of the day with buckwheat handmade bread, it was very tasty."
• "One of the best vegan burgers I have had so far."
• "The smashed avo sandwich was AMAZING and the festive coffees are a must."
• "The Reuben sandwich was particularly tasty and the cheese, despite being vegan, tasted very close to real cheese!!! I’m impressed :)"
• "100% Vegan and Absolutely loved my light lunch here. There are a lot of innovative items on the menu."
• "The best Vegan food I've ever eaten! I highly recommend!"
• "Absolutely amazing hidden gem. Food was delicious and the portions were plenty."

Cons:

• "The food can’t be faulted- I had a green power bowl with extra seitan and my husband had a Ruben sandwich, which he enjoyed. I loved my meal but had to wait an hour to get it after a long train journey so was a bit fed up."
• "The pad thai was tasty although the coconut taste in the sauce was a bit too strong, the tofu was a bit harsh but I love the taste of it, and as for the smoothie, it felt very fresh, not sweet at all and quite healthy."
• "The price was not cheap and my last visit resulted in an inedible salty salad, sauerkraut pickled in pure salt."
• "The food is tasteless. We had burgers and chips but they were both awful."
• "We had the quarter pounder bean burger and the pulled jackfruit burger and they were fine but not amazing."
• "The atmosphere was cosy and homely. The staff were friendly but rushed off their feet so the service was very slow."
• "Such a shame, but food wasn't great 😕. We felt as if we could have done a better job ourselves."
• "I was so excited to visit an all vegan restaurant during our trip in august, but holy cow disappointed on every front."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff were very lovely and helpful from the moment we came in too."
• "Great little vegan restaurant and very small and detailed restaurant. Staff are friendly and caring and very cooperative."
• "Staff was very nice! Had also a nice Oreo cake for dessert. Really good!"
• "Unable to be served the first day but came back the next day and the lady who serviced us was pleasant and helpful."
• "Very friendly staff. Nice to see fully vegan restaurants flourishing."
• "Friendly staff, lovely decor and amazing food in an amazing city. What more could you ask for 👍"
• "Really lovely place, gorgeous staff. Warm welcome as we walked in, relaxed not at all pretentious."
• "The staff is brilliant! That is a 5 stars alone."

Cons:

• "The service wasn't very good tbh. There was only one waitress working and it seems that she had too many customers at the same time."
• "I really hate to leave bad reviews, but this is the second time this happens and I have to say something about the appalling attitude of the staff."
• "I'm so upset to write this review (because I love the vibe and ethos) but I've given them three chances and I just can't justify returning."
• "The service was a bit slow but considering they have a busy take out service possibly more staff a requirement."
• "Really wanted to like this place as I love supporting vegan establishments but man they made it hard! We came for Sunday brunch and there was only one server for an extremely busy restaurant."
• "Cosy cafe but the cheesecake I had was a real let down. Generous portion but little flavour."
• "I always enjoy going to Holy Cow because the food in general is amazing and it feels very cosy inside. It's just a shame that, last time I went, the waitress wasn't very pleasant."
• "Shambolic and unprofessional. Waited over an hour for a sandwich."
