    This has been the best vegan restaurant in the city for us! Outstanding food, service, value, and energy always. Our only challenge this time was that they no longer have vegan + gluten-free options in their main course meals. We were mad for their gluten-free pizza, but unfortunately it's no longer available. And we just discovered their GF pasta has eggs, which is unusual in the GF world. They're working on a solution, which is amazing. They're really committed doing things authentically here, as well as in-house, so we understand the challenge for the chef. We'll certainly be back once there are options from the full menu for us again. I still highly recommend Bellona to anyone who doesn't have the food restrictions we do.

    This is the first time my husband and I did an 8 course tasting. With incredibly knowledgable staff, mind blowing and complex food, this was a night to remember. When a taste can bring you back to your childhood (much like what happened in Ratatouille), it’s nothing I had ever experienced anywhere else. Even as a non vegetarian, I did not miss the absence of meat. A must “go-to”.
