Located in Elys Yard, just before you reach Bricklane, is an old red double decker bus. From a distance this bus may appear to be illegally parked, however closer up you’ll notice that the bus has been converted into a fully fledged vegan restaurant.

There is seating outside the bus, however the best seat in the house, or in this case, the bus, is on the top deck. Surprisingly the ambience is quite romantic up top, with candles and coloured cushions strategically placed whilst chilled out music plays throughout the bus.

I went on a rainy night which made my visit even nicer as the rain poured down the windows my friend and I both agreed that it would have been a nice if we were on a date! To add to the novelty, the bus shakes when people move around and our extremely tall waitress was unable to stand upright whilst taking our orders.

Being a vegan restaurant, meat lovers will probably want to head elsewhere, however everything was very tasty, particularly the vegetable tempura. Definitely worth a visit, even just for a drink and to enjoy the unusual experience. Be sure to visit soon though, as the bus is moving to a new location at the end of the year.
