VEGAN, VEGETARIAN & MEAT LOVERS
We are an informal communal, casual dining atmosphere that promotes fresh cooking, zero waste, creative combinations and seasonal, premium quality ingredients.
You can dine with us on our regular breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets or join our supper club during unique one off dining experiences on set dates for a limited number of people.
Over the last 8 years Akasha has served food to over 35 000 people from all over the world, acknowledged by publications like The Guardian, Lonely Planet & World’s 50 Best Taste Hunters as colourful and creative plant rich casual dining food.
Our food is driven by what’s in season & what we like to eat, inspired by our global travels and the incredible produce we source in our area. We’d like to think our food is thoughtful, approachable, soul satisfying and fun.
If you need a reference to our cuisine it is similar to a paleo diet, foods that our hunter-gatherer ancestors would have eaten - whole, seasonal, local & wild ingredients and avoiding modern processed foods.
Our curated wine menu includes some of Romania’s best small batch producers & biodynamic wines along with expertly crafted cocktails, zero alcohol botanicals, slow pressed juices, smoothies, probiotic drinks, adaptogenic combinations, coffees & teas to enjoy at any time of the day.
