Vega in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Great little restaurant, friendly and welcoming. Took our pup whilst visiting the area for the weekend. Very happy to find an all Vegan restaurant that allowed dogs 🐕!! Food was delicious and plenty to choose from. I had sweet & sour stir fry with chocolate tort to follow both superb! My partner had the curry also very delicious 😋!! We will be back - tip: Need to book!!

Host/chef was very welcoming and the restaurant is feels calm and relaxed. The menu has a good choice of clean vegan food to suit all tastes. Between us we had Sweet and Sour noodles, Mexican bowl and the Soul Bowl Salad. All three were really good. We also took home some of the pineapple chutney as it was so good and bought some seeded peanut butter. If you are someone that likes really good, unprocessed food you will love this place. The homemade drinks are good and there are other drinks available too.

Great little place to eat, situated opposite information centre. Food was delicious and our two whippets were made very welcome too. We shall return.

Brilliant wholesome food and friendly ambiance. Good selection of reasonably priced drinks. Already looking forward to visiting again.

A wonderful evening experience dinning here. The owner was very kind and honest about her food and helped us with our order especially on portion sizes . Absolutely no worries you will be full up. So tasty and so delicious. Relaxed and friendly and highly recommend. Will be visiting again soon

Fun space - tiny but super cute! Rotating menus depending on who is cooking, so if you enjoy it, come back and try the second menu as well, for extra joy! Servings were more than plentiful, and I think they're losing money by serving so much food during lunch. We were traveling so taking our leftovers wasn't an option, but you can definitely get leftovers with the giant portions. Food was freshly prepared and oh so yummy!

My daughter and I were delighted to find this vegan gem in Tintagel. The owner was very friendly and the food was lovely! We had mac and cheese and a chilli. Followed by peanut butter cheesecake! Delicious

2nd time in tintagel and 2nd time in vega. Very friendly lady who really knows how to cook. Wife and I both had onion bhaji starter and the curry. All was excellent. It was that good we have decided to go 2 nights on the trot. Well done 👏

Lovely lunch today such a treat to have so much choice as I am vegan and really struggle to eat out Also very dog friendly Highly recommend Vega thank you

Fantastic little restaurant with delicious home cooked vegan food- great spaghetti bolognaise and a rich Chocolate torte for dessert Very reasonably priced too - definitely worth a visit Cheesy nachos Mac n cheese and soul bowls - all £6 - £10 for generous portions

What a lovely discovery. We sre staying in Tintagel and visited Vega after finding it hard to find somewhere to eat veggie food. It was delicious and reasonably priced, will visit again.

We have been waiting to eat some nice fresh food, after pub meals, and finally found it in this quaint authentic cafe. FABULOUS FOOD and very reasonable. There is even wine and beer! We had a delicious curry and Dahl, hummus olives yumm!! It was so good we came back the next night and had the Buddha bowl, delicious falafel!!!, and lasagne salad and delish garlic bread! Thank you so much Edwina, simply fabulous! And only 23£ for food and drinks for 2!!!

Really lovely and tasty food, at a very reasonable price. We sat outside and enjoyed the sun, and then bought some puddings to take home. Not always sure when it's open, so best to walk by and see.

Perfect, delicious, nutritious and great value lunch. So happy to have stumbled across this gorgeous cafe. Don’t miss it!

Very good cooking and friendly service. Group of 6 all delighted. Thankyou so much. Thoroughly recommend

Superb food, probably the best chickpea curry I've ever eaten. All the food is home made and excellent value for money. Don't bother with the castle, it's over rated. Come here instead.

My friend and I were in Tintagel on a trip to Cornwall and we found this fabulous restaurant. It happened to also be my birthday. We all had the Buddha bowl which was filled with delights and then shared an awesome chocolate cake. For me, for sure it was my totally favorite place to eat on the trip the UK. Thanks to the owner who put so much love into her food.

Wonderful food, in filling portions looked and served by a delightful host. You can't ask for more. But I will, one day.

Lekker gegeten in een rustige atmosfeer. Eten was goed verzorgd. De Banoffy pancake was heerlijk. De bediening heel vriendelijk en attent

A delicious birthday meal. So nice to have Vegan options so close to home. Nice choice of options, we had Lasagne and the Curry bowl- both yummy. Great choice of drinks too, not just your average. Tasty desserts, sumptuous chocolate torte I can definitely recommend. Thank you for making it such a lovely evening

We had small Buddha bowl salads, which were so nice. Definitely not small, though. The lady who served us was lovely and friendly. Would definitely go again.

Great vegan restaurant. Friendly staff /owner. Very clean. Tasty food including Sweet (cakes). We came here for lunch and dinner on several days!

Discovered this gem of a place on our visit to the area. Only small so quickly filled up, but very welcoming with great selection of food & drinks. Could happily eat here every day even though we aren't vegan. Food was well presented and exceptionally tasty - not to mention great value for money, unlike some of the other places in Tintagel! If we lived locally I wouldn't tell anyone - just keep it to ourselves :)

Lovely dinner with our non vegan friends who absolutely loved the food and ate every scrap. Always a pleasure to come to Vega. Great food, great portions and reasonably priced. The dishes are well cooked and seasoned and it's a lovely friendly place to come to every time we visit. Thank you so much Edwina, you have just the best vegan cafe/restaurant. ❤️

Great value food, excellent service. Wide variety of vegan food, something for everyone. Well worth a visit.

Very welcome surprise to find a vegan restaurant in a small Cornish town. We felt like we were eating at a friend’s house and being really looked after. Delicious and wholesome food, good value for money (my pot of tea was just £1!) Great for...

Stopped by here for a snack whilst waiting for the bus and had the most delicious onion bhajis! Lovely, friendly service, would definitely stop again for a meal :)

Lovely host and wonderful wholesome tasty food. We started with hummus then enjoyed the sweet & sour bowl, Mexican bowl and lentil chickpea curry. Followed with chocolate & biscoff torte and Bakewell tart, best vegan version we have had and would rival the Bakewell tart...

The food here is incredible so I recently went on one of their wild wellness days. We did yoga, were treated to a sound bath (insanely relaxing), had a delicious lunch, and went on a walk along the cliff to meet the rescued pigs. I...

Everything was delicious and easy to choose as everything is vegan. We also really enjoy the chat with our host. We had the curry bowl (huge), lasagne, Mac 'n cheese (love the peas) and the hearty soup over 2 days, couldn't wait to go back.

Such a nice evenig with grest tasting freshly made food and a great chilled atmosphere, be prepared the portions are bug and very tasty, good value , we will be back..

Simply great tasting food. With excellent friendly service. We walked past on our first night, looking for something a little up market, but were disappointed with the pub quality and value, so chose Viga for our 2nd night and will definitely return. Small friendly and...

We had another great meal at Vega. The food is really fantastic and portions huge. Curry bowl was so tasty and colourful and the hummus was perfect. We could not manage a dessert this time! Edwina does a great job and we love the ethos...

A great vegan café with a really good choice of tasty meal options, and generous portions at very reasonable prices. One not to miss if you are in the area!

We visited Tintagel last week and discovered Vega as recommended by the people we were staying with. Absolutely amazing food, and the best salad bowls ever! Highly recommend the Buddha Bowls. These were so good, we came back the next day after our plans fell...

We have been coming to Tintagel since I was a child but have not visited since 2013! We came in today with my daughter and my mum and the shock that we found somewhere vegan was amazing! Usually we never eat out as you cannot...

The food was bland and basic. It was particularly unwelcoming. We wouldn’t choose to visit again as there are many better vegan options offered locally. We visited because there were good reviews but weren’t as impressed as others seem to have been.

We had a delicious, nutritious, fresh home-cooked meal here after a busy full day and we appreciated it sooooo much! The owner is brilliant - not only did she provide a really great meal, she was also really authentic and attentive and kind. We observed...

Great little find in Tintagel. Vegan menu with some lovely menu options. We had the Buddha Bowl, chilli and mac ‘n’ cheese, all very tasty and freshly made. Large portions for the hungry, and also any leftovers are fed to the rescue pigs, so there’s...

Blown away by how tasty the food was! We ordered the Mac and Cheese and Lasagne, and are planning to go back and work our way through the menu. The service was great, excellent value.

Fantastic food , lovely atmosphere and super friendly owner, meals we’re amazing chickpea curry and Mac and cheese,we also took some cakes to go which were gorgeous, the owner was lovely she even took the time to send my daughter a recipe for vegan meals...

What a Find. Food was 💚 Gorgeous: I had an amazing Lasagne with superb garlic bread. T'others had FAB houmous, pitta & olives. AND.... The Peanut Butter 'Cheese'cake (X 2) was sooooo good ! Also Edwina was Lovely, Friendly & helpful & even kindly shared...

Vega serves the most delicious food, the whole vibe and ethos of the restaurant is amazing and the owner is wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our second visit here and will definitely plan a third soon!

A friendly small vegan restaurant serving delicious food, at reasonable prices and the portions are more won't leave you hungry! The choice of wine is good and fairly priced too. Can't wait to visit again.

Mother and daughter stumbled across this lovely place whilst visiting Tintagel on holiday. We aren’t vegan but the food was so so tasty it has inspired us to eat more food without meat. All home cooked food and great service, a lovely last meal out!...

My friend and I (and the dogs) visited in May and the food was great! Lasagna, onion Bajis and falafals… all was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back! Really lovely lady doing it all… owner/cook/front of house... it was all fab! I’m vegan, my...

Home cooked, tasty food which was excellent value. The owner was friendly and even sent us the recipes. We had the lasagne and spicy beans. Try the delicious chocolate pudding!

Vega catered to a large group of us and we were delighted with the food. Honest staff, excellent service and very well priced. I'll admit I'm not vegan; but I could be if I ate there more often!

All the food tasted, smelled and looked amazing! We ordered the chickpea and dhal curry, the lasagna with garlic bread and the peanut butter cheesecake and all I can say is that everything was super delicious. I wished I had been able to go again!...

Vega is simply a great small restaurant. There’s seating for maybe 20 max inside, and in the summer an additional table or two outside. I’m a returning customer, I’ve visited maybe 15 times over 2 years, and it’s my favourite restaurant in Tintagel, and haven’t...

The very best place for vegan food in the whole of Cornwall. We can’t rate it highly enough. All 6 of us were impressed. Very reasonably priced. Our collie dog was welcome as well. Can’t wait to visit again. You won’t be disappointed.

Friendly and welcoming restaurant with an interesting menu, would recommend coming here for the tasty food even if you’re not vegan which I’m not. Looking forward to coming back to try other dishes off the menu. Dog friendly too. Thank you!

Cant resist doing this review! Hadnt had the opportunity to visit for far too long so off we went for a family lunch. Lovely welcome as we entered and were pleasantly surprised to be remembered from our previous visits. Once again delicious food so even...

Absolutely delicious vegan food. So nice to go and eat somewhere and have options. We had lasagne and chilli with rice/ tortillas. So tasty and filling. Couldn't resist a dessert, so we shared a chocolate sponge and ghanash.... fabulous from start to finish. Very reasonable...

We are not vegans but wanted to give this restaurant a try…..we were not disappointed. Friendly staff throughout the experience from booking to dining there. We tried the sharing platter great. Idea and could add to it. …not knowing how filling it might be… the...

We stayed in Tintagel for 2 nights. We ate here on our first night and the food and friendly service was so good that we booked to eat here on our second night too. We tried the chickpea, kale and cashew curry with dahl and...

Enjoyed a good lunch, l had the chickpea curry which was delicious. Husband enjoyed the pasta in spinage pesto. Both very good value followed by peanut butter cheese cake, yummy. Only disappointment is we won't be passing that way again as moved along the path.

Had a recommendation from a friend to go to this restaurant. Ordered the thai curry noodles. Was very disappointed was like a bowl of soup and it was very bland.no taste at all. Paid 8 pound for this thought was very overpriced.

Being a vegetarian I was over the moon to find this cafe on our recent visit to Tintagel, the dog was welcome we visited twice for dinner, great choice of lovely food and great service.

We were wandering around Tintagel today and could smell the most delicious food ... we followed our noses and ended up at Vega! The food was incredible (and a fab price too). We had chickpea and cashew curry with rice and dahl 😍 The staff...

Went in with my partner to get picnic takeaway food at lunchtime to eat along the coastal walk. I explained what we were doing and said I was interested in the Buddha Bowl, Quesadilla and Pakora, and I asked for recommendations. The nice person working...

Enjoyed tasty homemade food, healthy and good choice, hummus was especially good. Great value food and drinks.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The menu changes regularly. When we were there, there were 4 or 5 mains to choose from and 6 starters. We had a taste of all the starters as a mixed plate. We especially enjoyed the beetroot dip and pakora....

We have eaten here twice in this last week and just wanted to recommend this lovely restaurant to anybody looking to dine in the Tintagel area. All of our meals were a delight, packed full of flavour and served by friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff....

My wife and I booked in for two consecutive nights in July . We had a very warm welcome from Edwina . The food was fantastic. The chick pea dhal was amazing and falafels were perfect. I would definitely go again if I was in...

The food here was excellent. I'm not used to having so much choice on a menu and wanted to try it all! I'm vegan but my family aren't however everyone enjoyed their meal (including my fussy young children!). The portions are enormous making it really...

I am a Vegan, and for me this restaurant was a "life saver". But not only that, the service was friendly, and I was given the option to change some parts of the menu to suit my taste. The place offers indoor and outdoor seating,...

My husband and I had a lovely meal there today. It was healthy, plentiful and great value for money. Would highly recommend.

great to find a vegan restaurant. the food is tasty and fantastic value. really friendly cafe we had a fab lunch and especially loved the homemade elderflower cordial

We very much enjoyed our lunch. Friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. A good choice of starters and mains. Very good value too. I am not a vegan (two of the six of us in our party are) and would definitely recommend. Food prepared and served with passion and care.

We eat here after visiting the castle, simply some of the best vegan food had in a long time. The owner was very nice and made a fuss of our dog which we had with us. I would certainly recommend if your in the area.

We had a lovely meal here. The food was incredible, the best we've had on a long time. Make sure you leave room for dessert too- the peanut butter cheese cake and apple and ginger crumble were delicious. It's very reasonably priced too. A percentage of the profits are also donated to animal charities too. It's also dog friendly

Had a lovely meal, really tasty, catered for four people and three golden retrievers!! Large portions! Very friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Will certainly be returning when in the area.

The lady who runs this place managed to fit us in at the last minute and we were so glad she did. Lovely home-cooked food at a very reasonable price. Big portions and great options on offer - in contrast to plenty of other decent but processed vegan restaurants/takeaways. The service from the young waiter was fantastic as well, lovely people running the place.My girlfriend and I had always dreamed of running a vegan restaurant/cafe with a fresh menu, all about the animals, and this is literally what we had imagined! 50% of all profits go to animal charities which is brilliant, and the walls are covered with famous quotes about animal welfare. Basically everything a good vegan restaurant should be. But regardless, even if you're not vegan, the food is brilliant, and you should give it a try. it might open your eyes ;).

We visited on 24.6.21. Everything was great. Food was amazing and staff lovely. Portions are huge but we went all out and had starters, mains and dessert. Particularly loved the bhajis, chickpea curry, cheesecake and the chocolate/beetroot pudding. Flavours of all the dishes we had were excellent. Also love the ethos of this place with 50% of profits going to animal welfare charities. Thank you

Called in here after a visit to the castle. Gorgeous food, very friendly service and cheap. Whether you are vegan or not I would 100% recommend eating here. My partner who isn't vegan loved this place. Wish it was closer so I could come back, thank you!

The food was great! It was nice to have home-style cooked vegan food, which makes a nice change to junk food. The portions were really big so it was great value for money. We shared hummus and pitta for starters which was nice. We had lasagne and chilli for mains and a cheesecake and crumble for dessert. The lasagne was amazing - we would definitely recommend it! The desserts were also amazing. The cheesecake was spot on, you wouldn't know it was vegan. The crumble was lovely too. The owner and waitress were both really nice. Overall we would recommend eating here while in Tintagel :)

Amazing food! We ordered curry and chilli, followed by the divine peanut butter cheesecake. Laid back friendly atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Vegans and non vegans alike will get a good meal here.

We read reviews of Vega prior to going to Tintagel, and although we are not vegans, wanted to give it a try. We ordered the Friday night takeaway choosing Dahl, Chickpea Curry, Chilli Beans, Rhubarb Crumble and Peanut Butter Cheesecake, and were not disappointed. Even if you’re not great fans of Peanut Butter, don’t let that put you off the cheesecake as it was sublime. Quantities were plentiful and the flavours were absolutely superb. The food was utterly delicious and we wished we lived closer, as we’d be regular customers. It’s a small unassuming place that could be easily overlooked, but that would be a massive gastronomic mistake. All of the dishes were very reasonably priced as well. We enjoyed the food so much that we will definitely eat there several times again when we return. We will also and buy the cookbook that the owner publishes alongside the food to try these dishes at home.

My partner and I were very excited to see a vegan cafe in Tintagel and ordered lasagna and spinach pesto pasta. It was really reasonably priced and really tasty!Just a tip, currently due to Covid, this is only takeaway, it's only open a few evenings a week and make sure you order before 2pm! We didn't know this and so we were disappointed on the first night that we couldn't get any food from Vega.

We had a good selection from the menu - savoury and sweet. Everything was fresh and tasty and large portions. We liked that we could return the packaging too.

Wonderful and healthy takeaway. Can not recommend this highly enough. We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes. Amazing value and portion sizes. Delicious food and great ethics. Will definitely come again when in the area.

We aren’t vegan but were looking for a healthy takeaway meal during COVID 2020 and happened to walk past Vega in Tintagel. We ordered our food via telephone and were able to collect that evening, the food was delicious, very tasty and ample portions. For 2 mains and a starter it was the same price as we’d paid for a single portion of takeaway fish and chips the night before. We have already placed our order for tomorrow night.

All the food was fabulous quality and great value for money. Although the restaurant is too small to sit in we got take away and it was all perfect. We were even more impressed at the recycling ethos and the fact we were asked to bring our containers back or reuse them. Couldn't recommend enough.l

Vega is fantastic!Our daughter is vegan and this was the highlight of her holiday. As a family we all agreed:The curry wow!Tapenade best ever tasted!It goes on and on .....Desserts to die for The owner is wonderful and her integrity shows through her food and business. She gives all tips to animal charities.Thank you!There’s a reason the food is 5 stars!

Me and my partner couldn't believe we found this place. Very very good food, good sized portions and very nice owner. We opted for a take away and everything packaging wise is re cycled/reused which is great as well.We thought the prices were very fair and 50% goes to an animal charity I believe so don't be shy and make sure you get some drinks and a desert too. (the peanut butter cheesecake is unreal).Seems to be open Fridays 5/9 ish I think, and pre order your food 24hours in advance. System works great.

Incredibly well priced and delicious homemade food. I ate here for lunch and dinner every day it was open during my stay so that says enough about how good it is!

We felt very lucky to find this little gem on a cold March evening, shortly after arriving in Tintagel. The owner/chef is fun with a great sense of humour and obvious passion for her food and message. 50% of the profits go to animal charities. This is not a formal setting, check yourself in a relax. Food didn't take long, was at a great price and beautiful. Lasagna was a particular hit. Everything we ate was mega. The portions are huge but as the food is all natural you feel full but not uncomfortable. We took our dessert to go and purchased her folder of recipes; our tip swiftly pointed toward a charity pot. Thank you!!! Can't wait to take those recipes home, from West to East coast. We will return.

Stopped in here for coffee and cake whilst in Tintagel after noticing it from the road and noting that the menu sounded delicious plus we're interested in vegan food even though we aren't 100% vegan. .I had a slice of millionaire's shortbread which was divine whilst my husband went for the peanut butter cheesecake. My husband eats a LOT of cheesecake but was blown away by this one- he loved it and that is high praise indeed!The lovely lady also sold recipe books of what she makes for the cafe which we purchased for £5. We've made 3 of the recipes already and each one has been amazing, really wish we'd had lunch there and would certainly return when in the area.The cafe is dog friendly too

Blimey what a find. Some of the best food I have ever had (vegan or otherwise), lovely warm welcome, and oh dear god that peanut butter cheesecake. Enormous portions too. Worth moving to Cornwall for.

We were in Tintagel this weekend for my birthday and wanted to find some interesting ingredients to cook a vegan 3 course meal because we didn't dream we would find a vegan restaurant.Then we found Vega, when we were being walked by our dogs and we were thrilled.Not knowing that the portion sizes are large, we ordered a starter, main and dessert each. Of course we couldn't eat it all and next time we will order and share. The only downside to that is we would have to choose, and we loved all of the dishes.We had flatbread and hummus, olives, onion bhajees, chilli and rice, lasagne, peanut butter cheesecake and a chocolate and beetroot cake. We still have leftovers, nearly 2 days later.If you want to eat vegan, this is a great place. If you want good food, regardless of vegan, this is a great place.

My husband and I found Vega by accident. We thought we would give it a try and we are both so pleased that we did (even though my husband is not Vegan). The food is exceptional. We ordered from the tapas menu and was thoroughly impressed. We ordered cous cous, onion bahji, butterbean houmous and pitta, creamy Dahl and tapenade on toast. Not only were they all wonderful but the portion sizes were very generous. We had to bring some home. There is another menu which we didn't try but we will definately be going back for. The owner also makes her own peanut butter and mayonnaise which are both delicious. If I could give this place a 10 I definate would. Do yourselves a huge favour and visit. It is delicious and welcoming and somewhere you will want to visit again and again.

The meal was very tasty and thanks for understanding my allergy issues especially the gluten free one. Went to Vega for lunch on a cold and wet day and me and my partner had different curries which were wonderful. My GF cheesecake was also yummy. It was lovely to have a cake especially as it was my birthday. Thank you very much for making my day special.

Great alternate to pasties or pub food for lunch we really enjoyed the bean chilli and the Kayle and chickpea curry.

I very rarely write reviews but Vega in Tintagel was such a wonderful experience, I wanted to express this, & I highly recommend a visit to this lovely cafe. I stayed in Tintagel for my Cornwall holiday & Vega was on my ‘must visit’ holiday list. It’s a real Gem in Tintagel, offering a variety of delicious, wholesome vegan food. The atmosphere & service was very welcoming & I loved the fact that 50% of the cafe’s profits go towards animal welfare charities. I had lunch there twice - Lentil & Walnut loaf, & the Chilli; followed by two scrumptious puddings - chocolate & beetroot pudding, and Peanut Cheesecake. I look forward to visiting again on my next visit to Tintagel & trying more of the delicious vegan dishes on offer. Thank you Vega.

Eu e o meu filho adoramos a refeição que fizemos no Vega. Comida mesmo muito saborosa. Estava tudo fantástico e nos serviram com muita simpatia.

Arrived for lunch at 11:57, door was open so thought as it opened at 12 it would be ok to go inside and settle at a table, how very wrong I was. Lady came out of kitchen informed us that they weren't open yet and we had to wait. I asked if they had high chairs as there weren't any in view, informed there was one after a huff from said lady. Was then told that we should look at the menu to see if there was anything suitable for us before we came back?!?! One of our party is vegan so we quite often eat it and knew this was a vegan cafe hence the reason we went looking for it, so who knows what she was implying. Went outside as requested but decided not to go back in as I didn't want to give such a rude person my money. Maybe she was having an off day but who knows, I certainly wouldn't recommend this place and most definitely wouldn't try to eat there ever again.

Amazing food no we are not vegan but with food like this we could be and what value for money. A jewel in Cornwall's crown.

Received a take away from this lovely cafe! Flavours exquisite! Great value for money and so friendly Loved every bite!!

I could not believe my luck when I asked at the castle shop if there was anywhere nearby where I could get a vegan meal and I was told that there was a vegan restaurant in the village!! What a wonderful find! Great menu with either light bite tapas or a great choice of full meals, we were spoiled for choice. After much deliberation (because it all sounded very tempting) we chose the tapas so we could try more dishes and we loved each one! Delicious different dishes beautifully presented and served by the lovely Edwina. It was a pleasure meeting you and we loved hearing about the charities you support the world needs more people like you - we will be back thank you.
