Herbivores - Experiment your vegetarian tastes with their wide variety...
3.5 out of 5
A small restaurant in the popular SOHO area, which serves vegetarian Italian cuisine. Sounds unique ! Well, the dishes and tastes are also unique, which you cannot repeat anywhere in Hong Kong. Its a very small restaurant, with one big center dining table enough for a big family of 10 or 12 back home, but here you have to share this table with other customers. Its a unique dining experience and not an uncomfortable one. There is a big menu on one wall , with drinks menu on edge of the ceiling. The menu is constantly changing which makes it worth going again and again. The portions are average , enough to share between 2-3 people. Have tried many dishes here, and none of them are bad. Some of them are little rebellious if the Italians came to know about it. 1. Japanese Plum Pasta A fusion of Japanese and Italian, as the name suggests it combines Japanese sour plum with an olive oil based pasta with seaweed. Maybe not a cup of tea for everyone, but its worth trying if you love Japanese cuisine. And a thumbs up to Herbivores for thinking out of the box. 2. Pesto Sauce Pasta Its literally an evergreen pasta , and if you are in no mood to experiment then go ahead with this. Its a nice creamy in rich pesto sauce, which would melt away in your mouth. 3. Avocado Roll Now comes a Mexican-Italian fusion. This appetizer may have European combination of ingredients but its presented like a sushi. But its a nice appetizer to warm up your appetite. And there are other pastas, vegetarian mushroom steak, tofu main courses, caprese, bruschetta, soup of the day. In all there is a wide range in the menu, and its upto your mood of the day to choose your dishes. The staff is friendly and with 1 or 2 servers catering to you. The male restroom is worth a visit , to see how Hong Kong utilizes each and every inch in this space crunch city ! Never tried their brunch, but have heard good reviews from those who have had their brunch there. Definitely not a place for group dining, but a different experience for a couple or two.

Visited this place after a long time... Nothing much has changed, but they have introduced a Quesadilla in their menu, which is wonderful. Not exactly like a typical Mexican appetizer overflowing with cheese , but a perfect recipe who prefer light snacks in a perfect taste. Go try it...
