    This little place is excellent, the food was absolutely delicious. The use of ingredients and presentation made are meal's soooo tasty. The staff are super friendly and really helpful. If you are thinking of dropping in for lunch I would strongly recommend booking in advance as somewhere this good is pretty busy at the weekend.

    Nipped in for a takeaway lunch and was blown away. I had the Tuscan salad (£12.50 but it was by far the most expensive thing on the menu and I was treating myself). It was huge, every bite was delicious, and the service was friendly and super quick. Overall 10/10 never eating a co-op meal deal again.

    Just had the most wonderful experience at this vegan cafe! The food is amazingly delicious at a very reasonable price as the servings are enormous & they use good quality ingredients. The staff are just so helpful & friendly, so the cafe has a positive vibe. It was just such a pleasure to be here. Although we are vegan, the menu would suit non-vegans as well. We have never come across another cafe as good in every way! The only downside is we are Australian travellers so are only in Belper for a week…

    Drove all the way from Nottingham to Belper (28/09/21) & this is why; I was craving colours and flavours. An absolute whistle-stop trip but I was served quickly and with the usual friendliness you'd expect from Vegan Revelation. If only I lived nearer...

    My wife and I (for Valentine's day evening) recently visited Vegan Revelation, and it was indeed a revelation! Absolutely outstanding food! Not just outstanding vegan food, outstanding food full stop! Everything about this place is sustainable, even down to the metal straws we were provided for our water (really nice touch). The décor and ambiance are unequivocally right to set the scene for a wonderful evening of vegan eating. Last but certainly not least, the service. The service was second to none! Real passion for what they do, and care and attention to the guests they have dining! We are about 40 minutes drive away, but will deffinately be making that trip as regularly as we can to enjoy what is (to date) one of the very BEST vegan cafe/restaurants we've had the pleasure of frequenting. Keep up the great work Vegan Revelation! 🤩

    We had 3 different main courses and cakes/sweets all fabulous! Always something yummy available. Oat milk with ice cubes and stainless steel straw lovely jubilee. And a great shop attached for environmentally sound palm free soap, shampoo bars and take your own containers for organic food, like nuts, oats, apricots etc. What's not to like 🐸🐝🦋🌻🌸💚

    Just loved this place, wonderful menu that can not only cater for vegans but also gluten-free options too. The owner is just amazingly friendly. Will defiantly return this place is a little gem.

    Delicious home cooked food and very friendly staff. I'm not vegan but the taste sensations here mean you don't miss meat at all. It really is a vegan revelation! Would definitely return. Eco friendly shop next door too with some lovely bits in and refillables.

    The food was lovely. A bit pricey for what you get £10 for 3 tacos. But they did taste good. This would be 4.5 if it were possible.

    Don’t recommend this place as there are much nicer vegan restaurants available these days ! Very crowded , cramped and grimey! Toilet area next to food prep area!!! No door separating areas! Seemed dirty and there wasn’t enough seating. Waitress was rude to a lady ! Unable to supply a receipt! Food overpriced, nothing special and took ages to be served !.

    Generous, gorgeous, charming. (Amazing!) Every element an expectation smashing delight and the most ludicrous ginger drink. I could easily be vegan (if they made all my meals) more Belper detours are imminent. Well done indeed.

    Please do not see the "Vegan" title as a place you should avoid, regardless of your culinary orientation this place serves amazing great tasting food ... Ask for the "Deluxe Richmond Burger" it's AMAZING !!! 😋🥰

    Very tasty food. However I challenge when other reviewers say the prices are moderate. I found the prices to be rather high for what was offered and, while I appreciate the care and attention, cannot see the justification beyond the prices being based on what the target market is happy to pay. You never see a poor vegan in the UK! If the prices were reduced by 20 - 25% then the prices would be better aligned with the menu offered.

    I love visiting this cafe! the reception is always warm, and the food is delicious as well as colourful and the portions are BIG! We had the quiche and the burger today but also recommend the gnocchi and the tacos. There will be plenty more recommendations when me and my friend Lisa work our way through the menu ☺️

  • 5/5 John P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic chilli nachos friendly service highly recommended

  • 5/5 Fiona H. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is my favourite vegan place to eat .....the owner is just lovely and the food is just out of this world ... everything about this place is beautiful.... I would recommend booking a table and pre ordering as it does get busy around lunch time .....they do a kitchen at the golden Eagle in Derby too....think its every Friday night if my memory is correct.

  • 5/5 Jim N. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Frida B. 4 years ago on Google

    First time here and one thing for sure, it will not be the last. Exceptional food to a very high standard.

  • 5/5 Jp R. 1 year ago on Google
    A better than the norm vegan cafe. Really good range of authentic specials, I could have picked several but chose the Gnochi which was amazing with a side salad that was a meal in itself. We dont live in these parts but worth visiting this charming town for this place alone. Will be returning!

  • 5/5 Alison D. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely gorgeous-looking plates of food,(which taste delicious too!)A warm welcome and quirky surroundings make this a lovely place to be,both inside and outside,in the sunny courtyard. Can't recommend highly enough, whether you're vegan,or not!

  • 5/5 Rowan T. 11 months ago on Google
    Incredible vegan food, tucked away in belper. The atmosphere inside was genuinely unique and had a quirky charm that I enjoyed a lot. Good selection of food and variety in each dish. Portion size was excellent and I felt it was real value. Coming here was a real delight and I would recommend it without hesitation! .

  • 5/5 Tom G. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sally R. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing little place, an absolute gem. No one would have ever imagined that a vegan place could become one of my favourite places to eat. I'm no vegan or even veggie, but this food is absolutely delicious and created with passion by the fabulous owner. Always a warm welcome, I can't recommend it highly enough :)

  • 5/5 Ros J. 8 months ago on Google

    The Chimichanga vegan chilli parcel with salad was excellent...always exceptionally clean and tidy with a lively welcoming atmosphere to boot. By the by, I'm not a vegan myself...good food is good food no matter what the province/ethos behind it. Keep it up Vegan Revelation!

    I went to the clothes swap at the café. Welcoming, fun, and friendly. I'll definitely be going back to the cafe and clothes swaps.

  • 5/5 James T. 3 years ago on Google
    This is by far the best vegan cafe I have ever been to! This is such a friendly place to visit. The owner is so inviting and really puts you at ease the moment you step in. Her humble cafe is surrounded by all of the home comforts, and on the walls you will notice many handmade crafts available for sale while you peruse the menu. My partner and I opted for the vegan kebab that was an explosion of flavour from the first bite to the last. Now, as many of you are probably waiting for, I must add that the portions are incredibly generous. As 2 6ft4 gents we came out full to the brim, so don’t go thinking that this is just a light salad kind of place. You certainly get far more for your money than in most places. Honestly this is a must for any visitors, vegan or non vegan, looking for a good hearty lunch and a friendly welcome.

  • 5/5 Elaine F. 3 years ago on Google
    Looked this place up before going on our hols as not sure there would be many open or even less catering for vegans! We weren't disapointed! Though small menu it was amazing , they made tofu taste delicious! The friendly enthusiasm was fab! We returned again in the week we were there! There was seating outside under canopy

  • 5/5 Michael E. 3 years ago on Google
    Called in for a quick impromptu lunch stop - hands down the best sandwich I have ever eaten!

  • 5/5 Julian H. 4 years ago on Google
    Fresh tasty food, really good....

  • 5/5 John T. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic Food, warm atmosphere and great staff, it may take a bit of finding, but persevere, its worth it. Started with a Chimachanga to share which was excellent. Mained with one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I would gladly return. I'm no vegitarian, vegan or any other kind of 'an' for that matter, so be careful ! Food this good could turn you to the green side :-) The interior is a bit funky, this is no fancy silver service french restaurant and its a BYO so don't forget the booze. But as I said at the beginning, Fantastic Food, warm atmosphere and great staff.

  • 5/5 Planet J. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredibly tasty vegan food, freshly prepared by the friendly owners. Vegans can rest easy eating here with a variety of healthy dishes on the menu, the ingredients of which are explained in detail & accompanied by a great selection of drinks. I recommend the cheesecake, after this there's no going back!!

    Fantastic food. Fantastic staff. It was a lovely place to eat. The price was very reasonable and you got a good portion size. I would definitely recommend others to eat here.

  • 5/5 Sean P. 4 years ago on Google
    Been once, though on the small size (expand please) the pizza was amazing, so tasty and it was vegan cheese

  • 5/5 K B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Vegan restaurant that was recommended to us by a complete stranger who we met in a coffee shop. I managed to get a reservation on Saturday night and I had a very generous portion of pizza whilst the wife had the Tacos which she really enjoyed. I followed through with a cheesecake and natty roots ital juice which was heaven - if you have a sweet tooth that is. The place is easy to find and the owner and waitress Lizzy were very hospitable - would recommend and will be going back next time we drive through Belper.

  • 5/5 James B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very tasty, it lives up to the tagline of good food that happens to be vegan. Friendly staff, very relaxed.
