Pastva is one of the few all-vegan restaurants that was open when I moved here 9 years ago and is still going strong now. Their evening menu includes a ramen, and it’s a good one!

Ramen

Broth: 5/5. It was a really flavoursome broth, with some depth to it and some Japanese flavours (which have not been present in all the others).

Toppings: 3/5. There were no big pieces of bok choy, which is always a positive for me. It was quite heavy on sweetcorn, but generally there was a good mix of toppings and some mushrooms. There was chilli on the top, but it was easy to remove if you prefered. There was a lot of cubed tofu, which is good, but it all seemed unseasoned, which is a shame.

Noodles: 4/5. Good generous portion.

Overall: 12/15.

This is not an all-ramen spot, or even all-Asian spot, like some of the other places I’ve reviewed, so it’s perhaps a good option if your dining companions don’t all necessarily want ramen and are happy to visit an all-vegan place.
