    If you haven’t been to Li-o-la, I am telling you: make the trip! This place’s food is mind-blowing. Their pizzas are divine, their burgers are amazing and their pasta is a near-religious experience. The puttanesca is glorious and absolutely a must try! I can’t actually rave about this place enough. The prices are also super reasonable. Did I mention they have vegan malva pudding? Because they have vegan malva pudding! And it’s awesome! Really, this is some of the best food I’ve ever enjoyed in my life. Even if you are not vegan, this place is a must for epic Italian food. The chef and staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is so welcoming that you just want to stay and eat more and more.

    The best 100% plant based restaurant ever. Plus just been upgraded to my favourite 🚀vegan pizza spot of all time. Delicious 😋 if you are passing through Sedgefield you must stop it’s just off the N2. Amazing food and amazing people. 👌

    Great food and lovely owners. Definitely worth a stop if you're passing through the area. They operate as a takeaway but have 2 small tables for you to eat at. The gluten-free pizza base is very tasty and can be made to order.

    Liola does it again! Their Liola creamy ‘cheese’ on the Chi Cha pizza is pure deliciousness.. not even the crust was left. Their vegan lasagna is hearty and delicious, and the flatbread they use to wrap their black bean burgers sparks regular cravings. The best pizza in Sedgefield? Liola. Their food is simply amazing - and it just happens to be vegan, too. For a satisfying meal full of home-made goodness that is meat free, you will not be disappointed.

    The best restaurant with the best food!!! So much love goes into not just the food, but the interactions with the chef. Never have I ever eaten a better vegan pizza! It deserves more than just the five stars.

    Truly the best vegan pizza I have ever eaten in my entire life. Just wow. If you are driving though Sedgefield, definitely stop by. It is not to be missed. But it is not only the food which was great. Service was incredible and the most passionate and welcoming owner and staff. Incredibly impressed. Going back for their vegan lasagne which is apparently legendary as well.

    The folk at Li-o-la's are just the loveliest people. The food is absolutely incredible. We take all our friends and family there. All the pizzas are amazing, the lasagne is to die for, burger is awesome and let me not get started on the delicious cakes. We are very grateful to have such a fine establishment on the garden route, just wish they were closer to Plett :-)

    I ordered two cakes. The carrot and chocolate cake. Let me say, I have never seen a group of people devour cakes so fast! They were absolutely awesome. Best of all vegan!! Such a great treat for a very special birthday. Thank you so much. Highly recommend anyone passing through sedgefield to stop in and grab a slice!

    The food and lovely couple are to die for. I am very sad that we don’t live closer to enjoy your services a lot more regularly 😩 You guys were the light we needed - thank you so much! 🥰 All the best guys, you made our holiday an amazing one. Even giving us the opportunity to share amazing plant based food with serious meat eating friends. They loved it and were begging for more 😁

    What an authentic and humble experience, we arrived at Li-O-La and was greeted by the owner and chef himself, which right away was so different and awesome. It was a breathe of fresh air meeting a true fellow vegan, the passion and respect for the lifestyle shows in the quality of the food, I’m not the healthiest of vegans I love my vegan pizzas and Iv had 100s around the world and this has been the best vegan pizza I have ever had. We had the carrot cake, pizza and pasta and it was all amazing but the best part was just chatting to the owner/chef such a nice guy, gave me his recipe for the cheese gifted me a packet of Parmesan because that’s how people should be, kind and authentic. Thank you for the dinner and I look forward to the future of LiOLa

    Absolutely incredible dining experience! The best vegan food in the western cape, paired with the most friendly service you could ask for, in an idyllic setting. An undeniable highlight of our trip!

    If you're searching for a sanctuary that not only feeds your body but also nourishes your soul, look no further than Liola. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by an atmosphere of inclusivity and love. It's truly heartwarming to witness their commitment to creating a space that radiates positivity and happiness to each BEING walking through the doors❤️☀️✨ so much love

    Love, compassion and authenticity. I have been frequenting Liola's for sometime now, at first as a customer, enjoying their food, what they stand for, and who they are. As you continue to visit, you can't help but feeling love, feeling loved and wanting to reflect back the kindness and compassion that these beautiful beings offer. Giulio and Jiiah are two amazing humans that will not settle for good enough, they continue to experiment, to tinker and make changes in pursuit of delicious excellence, without sacrificing on their morals and values. Big love and light - may you continue to shine ❤️

    Tapas orientated meals. Large enough to share the variety and still be full after. The paella and steak options were amazing

    It is the only 100% vegan restaurant on the Garden Route. Giulio, the owner, is the chef and he makes fantastic food. We found our favourite vegan burger here - Madison burger with absolutely divine herbal sauce. Heavenly burger with creamy flavorful mushroom sauce is also amazing and it's our daughter's favourite. Burgers come in pitas that Julio makes fresh and they are delicious. We were pleasantly surprised with gluten free pita options available as well. Portions are generous and reasonably priced. Atmosphere in the restaurant is very welcoming and friendly.
