World Peace Cafe - Leicester

I had a very pleasant lunch at this restaurant. The food was high quality and healthy, and the atmosphere was relaxed. I will definitely return.

The ambiance of the restaurant is charming and the food is delicious. The staff is friendly and the vegan options are exceptional. We will definitely return the next time we are in Leicester.

Firstly, it 's really nice to see more vegan options on the menu including vegan meals in the evening for events, especially as this is more in line with Buddhist beliefs of not harming and being kind to all animals. There are still a few vegetarian options that include eggs and dairy such as cakes/main menu, but I 'm really hoping this will be completely phased out over time. The actual vegan food and drinks were lovely, and the cafe itself had a very calming atmosphere with welcoming and friendly staff. I must say we were very disappointed when a 'friendly ' volunteer actually turned out to be an ex butcher who had not long sold his establishment of pain, suffering, and death. We understand the cafe is run by volunteers but we personally found this very odd, uncomfortable, and unsuitable especially considering Buddhist beliefs/ethics and the beliefs/ethics of the people who may visit/eat here including us. It was even more disturbing when the person went on to tell us how they were craving meat and went to McDonald 's to get their fix, and fed raw meat/blood to their dog. Especially as we are both vegan and had not long finished our lunch, it literally turned our stomachs! We had really enjoyed our vegan lunch but unfortunately this left us feeling very sick and ruined it for us, and so we won 't be returning again anytime soon because of this. For future volunteers we think you should really carefully consider who you have serving and interacting with customers, what a shame!

Great coffee, food, and atmosphere in the cafe. This was our first visit and we will definitely we returning in the near future

Had jacket potato lunch. Very well presented and staff very pleasant. Meal and coffee served with a smile. Not expensive either. Nice atmosphere.
