    We went over to Neked foods on the last day of our stay at Clarens, my biggest regret was not going there sooner. Vanessa and her team made the most delicious vegan food under the South African Sun. The decore and atmostphere was beautiful and cozy and we all felt welcomed and cared for. We ordered the French toast with vegan bacon and vegan beef wrap (made from seitan) - both dishes were just fantastic. Thank you for a great experience!

    The best vegan restaurant in the Free State! As vegans, when you find a treasure like Neked, you keep going back for more. I have never been disappointed and love to spend lazy weekend mornings β€œgrazing” at Neked. Vanessa and staff are amazing, there is always such a happy vibe at Neked. We are blessed to have this little oasis in our little village

    Went here a couple times during our trip to Clarens and it was fabulous! The food was amazing, the vibe, and service were also great. We also met Vanessa, the owner and she was so welcoming and gorgeous! Plus side, my bubba absolutely loved the broccoli soup! And my vegan husband finally got to try a Malva Pudding!

    Thank you Vanessa and team for an amazing experience. I took 3 non vegan friends to Neked and not only was this vegan amazed by the food so was the carnivores. They couldn't stop raving about the curried lentils and vetkoek. We received top notch service. If you want to treat yourself whether you are vegan or not to a mind blowing experience, go and visit Neked food!

    My husband and I randomly found this spot in Clarens, and promptly decided to eat there for every single meal. Excellent food that you can tell a lot of thought and creativity went into, really nice outdoor patio in the heart of Clarens, and of course everything was delicious. Even if you aren’t vegan, don’t be deterred. The food was hearty, tasty, filling, and beer ice cold 😊 We will be back someday!

    This place is a beautiful haven for vegans and vegetarians. The food is fantastic and the staff and owners are wonderful and inspiring people. Everything is done with passion and love. It also suitable for meat-eaters looking to try some β€˜fake meat’ alternatives. Their boerewors is excellent and the droewors is outstanding. In a blind test, I couldn’t tell the difference!

    I have enjoyed the most incredible plant-based eating experiences I have had in South Africa, at NEKEDFood, in Clarens (Free State) 🀀 I have been numerous times & every time the food has been consistently amazing! The owner, Vanessa Jarvis Findlay, is plant-based herself, and serves food that both plant-based & non-plant based eaters are guaranteed to enjoy (my fully-fledged South African hubbie can attest to this!). The dishes are all homemade, from scratch. Many include healthy whole food sources of plant protein (including tofu & Seitan). Fresh, seasonal, high vibrational & exciting food, & a vast array of dishes (sweet & savoury). Vanessa & her staff prepare & cook the food with so much love, pride, passion & excitement, which completely enhances the joy in eating their delicious meals. Not only is the food incredible, but the setting is beautiful & welcoming, the staff warm & friendly & always have a smile to share. Meals can be enjoyed sit-down, takeaway or bought frozen to take home. This food experience is not to be missed if you are visiting Clarens, or even worth making a special trip (the town of Clarens is also an absolute delight πŸ˜‰).

    We enjoyed another amazing Sunday lunch at Neked Food. As our starters we ordered the Vietnamese Summer Spring Rolls and I had the Grilled Tofu Sticks with Peanut Satay Sauce as my main meal while my husband chose the Roasted Mushroom and Brinjal Beer Pie. Needless to say as always the food was excellent. Not to forget the friendly, attentive staff and the lovely relaxing atmosphere. Definitely a restaurant we can recommend!
