Very welcoming home and hosts. The food was amazing and meeting people from around the world as well as locals at a table with vegan dishes was a unique experience. Highly recommended.

Our experience was really amazing. Patrick and Karen invited us into their home and we had 4 hours of food, conversation and fun.

Karen and Patrick are really good hosts, creating a unique evening in a warm and friendly setting.

We are newly vegan and experiencing the food was a treat. It’s great to know that we now have loads of healthy options. The buckwheat biscuits and vegan cheeses were perfect. The broccoli soup tasty and the desserts ended a really wonderful evening.

The hosts are very knowledgeable and willing to share.

I’d highly recommend joining in the future. A perfect Saturday night.

Karen is also SO helpful and patient with all the questions of a newbie. What a lovely evening!!! A warm welcome in their lovely house, met great people, had great food - exactly how I'd like to spend an evening!! Thanks guys, we'll be back! ????

We attended a pop-up dining experience with Green u0026 Vegan last evening, and it was an enjoyable, interesting and delectable experience. Patrick and Karen are wonderful hosts, their style at once warm and professional. The hosts and their helper remained calm amidst the flurry of arrivals and the initial crush of people in a fairly limited space. It was clear that they were well prepared for the event (coat hooks for jackets, cocktails at the ready, table seating arranged, etc) and this advance preparation inspired confidence that the situation was always under control. Each course of the meal was clearly explained in advance and this helped those of us new to veganism to understand the flavours and textures. The food was all delicious and the presentation and service were excellent. We enjoyed the eclectic mix of people around their long dining table. Above all, we left with a new sense of the possibilities of vegan food – if slightly daunted by the alchemy that must have taken place in their kitchen to turn simple ingredients into such scrumptious food!

We had the pleasure of joining Karen and Patrick for their Vegan pop up dining experience . While the focus is on producing a superb 5 course vegan meal the experinces lends it self to making new friends on their long table. We enjoyed well executed plant based dishes, innovative cooking techniques and the warmth and love of this down to earth couple. Two courses that blew my mind were the vegan lox and Karen’s homemade vegan cheese. Don’t miss out on this unique dinner, it’s designed for all you love good food.

An evening needs great food and great conversation to be memorable and the bi-weekly pop-up restaurant Green And Vegan delivers on both.
From the ice-breaker cocktail upon arrival at hosts Karen and Patrick's welcoming home in the Green Point village, to the last after-dinner organic chocolate a few hours later, the evening was relaxed, fun, and the food delicious.
Guests were a mix of friends, couples, singles, tourists and locals, mostly non-vegan, all curious to try out a new dining experience.
The 4-course vegan meal around the long festive table was tasty and inventive but the showstopper was the beautifully presented trio of desserts: rich chocolate cake ladled with a wicked salted caramel sauce, a handcrafted chia chocolate truffle and Chef Patrick's berry vegan cheesecake. This has to be the best cheesecake. Ever.
The chatty table was blown away when Karen presented the final course: platters with a selection of vegan cheeses - 2 fermented, 2 soft cheeses and the creamiest of mozzarella - all home-made.
A number of guests at the pop-up dinner were regulars, and brought friends to introduce to this unique event. One can understand why they keep coming back.

Food was 5 star quality and our hosts Karen and Patrick gave us a very warm welcome. It felt like home. Lovely evening with all round excellent company and stimulating conversations. Conversations included politics, economics, Netflix and the latest contemporary scandals with a touch on the water crisis and day zero plus the baby boomers, millennium and z generation. Great discussion on how things have changed over the years and what could be expected in the future. We laughed and listened to the wisdom of everyone who felt at liberty to give insight on several issues.

Thanks Patrick and Karen for creating an intimate space and for the delicious sushi evening. Will definitely return for another wonderful evening.
