Life Cafe Restaurant and Bar (Closed)

For environmental reason, I have cut down my meat consumption drastically in past several months. I also start to look for restaurants which serve good organic vegetarian food.Saw other reviews on Life Cafe, some say good, some say bad. But the photos of the food look attractive...so decided to give it a try today during lunch.Conclusion: Very disappointed.I ordered a set lunch: broccoli and cauliflower cream soup... quite watery main: rice with deep fry tofu cubes and green sprout on top..

I have seen quite a few unhappy faces when it comes to writing about Life cafe, so I'd like to do Life some justice here.Like a lot of the below reviews, I found Life too expensive for just a normal portion of plain vegetables served, with a feeling that they are ripping so much money off me because all they serve are raw salads and simple American burgers or Breakfast dishes. However, quality comes with value, and out of all the eateries I have tasted Life served the best-looking broccoli and p

last night, the 5 of us went there to celebrate a friend's birthday. we booked in advance and on arrival we were shown to a 4 person table with a 5th chair added to the end. it was extremely cramped. we politely asked if it was possible to sit somewhere else. without much deliberation from the waitress, we were told we "have to" sit there. at the time, there were only 1 table seated and there were only 2 other reservations apart from ours. we spotted another table which would be more suited for

好耐之前食過 life café, 果時沒有套餐, 只能散叫, 一試無妨. 見佢現在有套餐, 加上有47 笑臉 vs 1 苦臉, 試吓係未咁好.午市套餐 $98+10%, 沒有選擇:西蘭花薑湯: 好濃, 好足料, 味道很好.主菜: 我和友人見到都好surprise, 一隻湯碗的芽菜青椒絲螺絲粉, 只是早餐份量; 我食唔出是否有機, 只知道賣相和味道和自己煮的 差不多. 飲品: 友人飲咖啡, 佢話落咗奶和糖都勁苦, 佢只飲咗一半 (請留意, 隻杯好細). 我飲薑檸茶, 如果不是餐茶, 原價$32一杯,以為好嘢, 原來只是茶包!我已經成杯水飲完, 侍應拿 着水壺替隔離枱加水, 我特 登放隻杯係枱邊,佢經過我張枱都(當)睇唔到, 服務唔太細心.價錢唔平, 食物簡單, 返到公司, 三點幾已經肚餓.

20090225最近的一連串工作像是瘋了一樣的壓下來，反正今晚無論如何又要到半夜了，一眾姐妹決定暫時“罷工”先好好開一餐。這種時候大魚大肉是于事有害無益的，便想到輕怡而美味的Life，剛好另外三人都未試過。一人一杯飲品先下了單，接著慢慢等主菜出場。Gado Gado是自己一直都喜歡的一道沙律，看似簡單的食材，難得新鮮且味道融洽，與醬汁配得極好。Life Burger裏面那件紅紅的物事看起來都蠻唬人，說不是肉都沒人信：）但一吃下去便知是米制的了，不管怎樣，好味就足夠。最吸引的是跟漢堡的薯條，這裡用番薯，切得大大條，不需點醬，甜美無比。另外一個“Layers of Vegetables”名字與賣相都比實際好吃，勝出的反而是身爲配角的醬汁，一定要叫幾片煙煙韌韌的五穀包來點一下。話説回來，這裡自配的醬汁一向是很出色的，不論沙律醬或焗汁，均層次豐富而口感清新。在如豆的燭光與西域的柔曼音樂中結束這餐“girls’ dinner”，再囘辦公室搏殺過。

與齋妹妹們的晚宴, 上次同今次一樣, 都是三缺一. 難道真的是要單獨約會佢才肯出現. 不過不理. 既然約好, 就不改期, 如常聚會. 地點由牛頭角改回港島區. 我帶著班新界妹妹仔上SoHo...啡妹妹笑說, 我們我似鄉下妹出城....中環呢D地方, 真是少黎.這裡是素食地方, 但五葷中的蒜同蔥沒有取走....畢竟是外國的素食Standard, 老外們不知道中國素食者, 大多是佛學者, 蔥蒜要走. 不過, 其實同侍應講聲, 走洋蔥走蒜不難. 只是湯同Pizza餅底, 因為已預先做好, 走蔥蒜有難度. 一名華人侍應亦好樂意解釋那些有葷, 那些沒有, 那些可要求走蔥蒜. 經過解釋後, 落單方便了很多, 只要強烈地 "no garlic, no onion" 拈!!先叫兩份頭盤大家share, 提多一句的, 這裡除了推廣素食之外, 亦推廣有機食物, 仲有Gluten Free Diet. 個Caesar Salad, 就是以Organic 菜為主, 芝士也是Organic, 不過黑醋同橄欖油流了落底, 少不免要番一番才能把所有味道集中.另一個是Sweet Potato fries, 薯條食得多

久久未有寫評，原因只有一個：懶但因為愈來愈愛這間有機小店，加上吃過幾次也高興離開，實在要推介推介＊Caesar salad，好吃程度直逼pret的Chef's Italian Salad！材料豐富，下芝士下得豪爽、「假煙肉」比真煙肉更好吃、連croutons也是以自家製全麥包切粒烘成；但最精彩的，是那個凱撒醬汁！！濃濃的芝士，好喜歡啊，說起又想吃，嘻嘻。＊Mushroom Pizza，又是下得超多芝士！！（其實，我不能想像，沒有芝士，我如何生存XD）批底也是用全麥粉搓成，厚薄剛好，好味。＊還有小吃Smoked Eggplant Dip。全麥彼得包略咸，而且太脆口了，要邊吃邊灌水才不致喉嚨乾涸。沾醬怪怪的，不太吃到茄子味之餘更有點「酸酸叔叔」，可以不吃。＊也試過Life Burger，蠻特別，有趣的PATTY和飽足的伴菜，全由店主自創。好勁。＊飲品方面，有各種有機蔬果汁／機能飲／即磨咖啡等等供應。貨真價實，絕對不是街邊溝水那些！小店只有素食供應，有些菜適合vegan，也會在餐牌標明哪些是gluten-free。樓上雅座，突然像置身一間小樹屋。

不經不覺又到了2009 年, 在此謹祝 OpenRice 編輯食友諸君, 還有將踏入十周年的 OpenRice, 人人飲龢食德, 香港飲食業繼續保持活力, 百花齊放!正所謂「一年之計在於春, 一日之計在於晨」, 新年伊始, 就寫一下「一日之計」中的早餐啦! 又是爬山的一天，所以又去了 Life 食早餐。是日乃周末，早餐餐牌「夫添」上陣，今次整大佢，食個 Life’s Breakfast ($90)！我旁邊的是一個同樣都是吃 Life’s Breakfast 的紐約客，跟我有一句沒一句的搭訕，但我其實無咩興趣。餐牌上原來是這樣寫的：Scrambled Tofu or Two Organic eggs (served any way) with pan roasted herb potatoes, tofu bacon & vegetarian sausage with organic sunflower seed toast看 menu 才知原來而家竟然冇咗塊掟死狗多士，冇所謂啦。有炒蛋和炒豆腐選擇，我要了 scrambled tofu。炒豆腐應是下了 tumeric (黃薑)，所以是黃

久未出籠的西式素食系列再次出爐 ~~想起來, 本地以西式素食作主打的餐廳, 本人敢誇口已試過了九成以上, 如各位還有什麼好提議的, 記住話我知, 等我又去踢踢館! (最衰就近我的 Harmony Cafe 早已關門大吉, 沒得寫了, 挺懷念的說 )這裡開店至今, 斷斷續續都吃過不少次了, 主要是早餐或下午茶等「旮旯」時間來。早餐時段只有樓下的 deli 開放, 而 deli 又只有兩張枱, 次次來都要扮哂「假洋鬼子」跟真洋人爭位! (算不算為中國人爭光呢? 自我膨脹中 ~~) 其實樓上好坐得多, 只是比較暗而已。Soup or organic Dhal Salad combo with your choice of salad ($60 + 10%) - 湯款日日不同, 由於沒下牛奶或忌廉, 所以通常都是以澱粉質較重的蔬果調製, 如薯仔、南瓜等, 所以單喝湯都幾飽肚的了。Dhal 沒吃過, 應是印度式燴豆這樣子。我覺得沙律是這裡必吃之物之一, 款式很多, 圖中的紅米沙律有咬感之餘不太油膩, 不錯; 不過不吃芫茜 (parsley) 的人小心了, 因為大部分沙律都有下它的。貪心些,

呢日同朋友兩個人去試一直都好想試既有機像真菜, 其實天氣唔係好熱, 但唔知點解上到黎二樓硬係悶悶熱咁, 場內亦有開幾把風扇, 但唔知係我自己發熱發亮定係燭光宵夜時段呢, 總知就係唔舒服. 但坐位ok.食物方面種類唔算多, 但全部有機, 每人都點左一客豆湯, 然後一個Peach Pizza, life burger及每人一杯鮮蘋果汁.蘋果汁最快上, 而且味道真係好新鮮, 因為我連佢係粉蘋果我都飲得出, 你話幾新鮮, 而且感覺亦好似一杯蘋果蓉.青豆湯雖然賣相平平無奇, 但一飲落就知佢有蓉, 而且應該可以叫佢做青豆粥唔而唔係湯, 如果兩個人一齊食, 其實只需要點一客就夠晒, 如果唔係會太飽肚食唔落其他.peach pizza係最好味道既一道菜, 食落同真正既意式pizza好相似由其味道, pizza夠薄脆, 芝士味強但桃味又將之平衡返, 必食之一.life burger比較普通, 因為成個漢堡你都feel到佢係由好多飯同埋包製作, 只係豆腐薯條比較突出, 如果唔係會好漏.之前見過有食家食評話會開燈趕客我亦有少少同感, 因為當時差不多十一點三左右, 但係我問waiter幾點打烊佢就只係回應話我

Came here for brunch with friends. I ordered an egg white omelet (without cheese), an iced coffee, and a half portion of buckwheat pancakes.Whenever I want to order an omelet at a restaurant, I'm always worried that the omelet would come in a lot of oil, which makes me think twice before ordering. However, Life Cafe did a very good job. The egg white omelet was nicely done with minimal oil and fresh ingredient. The side dish was potato, which I didn't eat.I next tried the buckwheat pancake.

If you feel the urge to join the increasingly large group of health concious this-is-a-lifestyle-choice people, then head straight over here. Everything is health-oriented, be it ersatz coffee/milk/honey/sugar/cereal/desserts etc. you'll find that they cater to all wishes on demand. Their carrot cake is a bit dense and dry and tasteless, not your typical moist scrumptious oooh-ahhh carrot cake with thick phili cream cheese topping, but hey, it's healthy, it's ersatz.Take a book and read here,

閉關2年多, 我又回來了...Life是舒服的餐廳有我喜歡的趨近自然色的橙色燈光 (尤其在洗手間) 我們四人, 點了四個菜 Life salad裡1. 疑似主角的穀物脆餅, 只有三塊, 不夠四人分2. 一盆子似是一團糟朋友搞爛gag: That's life. 好在亂中有序... 一團團的hummus分佈在菜蔬四周偶爾佔上, 帶來一絲刺激沒佔上的, 仍是新鮮爽口其它食物:tofu skewers: 味道特別, 值得一試sweet potato fries: 普通馬鈴薯條好吃點pizza: 非常好吃 (menu中只有兩款pizza, 第二款也)risotto: 不是真正的risotto rice, 煮法亦非意式... 味道ok, 但無必要取名risotto...是夜茹素方便整理胃口預備看場"超暴力"的八點半

和朋友聽完講坐後決往Soho覓食, 路經此店友人說外觀及有機食物幾吸引, 我又記得食友評價不錯, 便入去試試.上了二樓, 已見不算倘大的舖子人頭湧湧, 但此刻已是平日晚上八時了, 相信週未去光顧還是預先訂位比較穩陣吧!被安排坐在閣樓的小天地, 很像上隔牀, 居高臨下, 可清楚看到下面坐着的食客, 幸晚上燈光很暗及食客大多是鬼聲鬼氣和有禮, 所以未致於尷尬十分.未知是否環保關係, 此店冷氣少得好像無開, 但有風扇免侷死.不太肚餓, 兩女子只叫了一盤沙律和一碟意粉.飲品要了杯名Zinger, 是橙汁溝野莓汁, 酸微微, 新鮮足料, 很好喝.凱薩沙律 – 很大盤, 醬汁雖不多, 但芝士十足, 令此沙律香濃不寡, 豆腐製成的煙肉乾惹味香濃.芝士露荀豆腐煙肉乾有機蝴蝶粉 – 同樣地調味得恰當, 完全沒有吃素的寡口感覺, 芝士味很香, 但如果不是芝士迷便可能不太合口味了.很想試下這裡的甜品啊! 希望快些可再來~~

I have visited Life Cafe many times and it offers good service + food. The food is really fresh (though sometimes it takes a while for them to serve), and delicious. The price is reasomable as well. One point though: If you're going for dinner, I'd recommend making a reservation and indicating where you'd like to sit as it gets pretty crowded after 7.30pm.When the weather is good, I go to 3rd floor for Sunday brunch, and read the magazines. The atmosphere is great- doesnt feel like HK at all
