“ 100% recommended! This vegan went 6 times! They have a huge menu, with a lot of variety for every taste, and over 15 vegan options (as well as catering to different dietary requirements) and there are heaps of options to keep me and my friends coming back. Some of my friends are meat eaters too. The atmosphere is lovely, they have split the restaurant into 2 areas, and both are great, no air con but lots of fans. RIMBA means jungle, and they have gone all out on the vibe, so much greenery and jungle plants, with big glass windows to see the lush surrounds. At night, the garden is lit beautifully, and there is even a nice outdoor table tucked away in the garden. The food I ordered: 1) The vegan jackfruit "pulled p!rk" vegan wrap was my favourite, tasted so meaty and smokey like bbq meat, with loads of fresh salad and an easy to eat style. I actually got this twice it was so good! 2) The vegan Asian salad with tofu and tempe is a delicious, fresh and crunchy cold meal to help deal with the heat. a generous serving size. It has cold noodles at the bottom and mint, basil and cucumber. 3) Vegan rice paper rolls "Fresh summer rolls" - refreshing and had marinated tofu inside, great for hot days (all days in Amed) I have to mention, two of my friends had burgers (the beef and the vegan jackfruit patty) and they ended up feeling a bit sick afterwards, so I don't know if the burgers were oily, heavy or just too big for my friends. So I stayed away from the burger menu. Other times my friend had the tart of the day (not vegan) and she loved it. Desserts: They have a pastry display at the front, you have to walk out to the street to see it (I missed it the first 2 times, so I thought I would point it out haha). They have some vegan Snickers bars and other vegan chocolate bar delights. They have 1) They had a special vegan ice cream sandwich, which was two giant vegan cookies with ice cream in the middle, was so good on a hot day, and you have to devour it with your hands before the ice cream melts!! 2) Vegan chai ice cream - very nice, lightly flavoured, I think coconut-based. But FYI the ice cream cones are not vegan, so get it in a cup instead. Drinks: They have vegan oat milk and vegan soy milk They had some specials on the chalkboard: Alchemy Lemonade - a not-too-sweet lemonade with rosemary syrup and butterfly pea tea, I ended up having it 4 times, only 28K and really unique and refreshing. Salty dog latte - Iced coconut milk latte with salty caramel syrup, absolutely delish - also really unique and refreshing. Matcha iced latte - great, not too bitter and not pre-sweetened Iced Taro Latte - for a non-caffeine option, really nice and sweet They are always busy, so sometimes it is hard to get the waiter's attention, but the staff are all lovely and helpful. Lacks vegan breakfast options - unless you want a smoothie bowl :D They have 6 vegan smoothie bowls, but I didn't try them. Also, I didn't get to try the vegan coconut ceviche because they were out of it every time, but I am sure it would have been divine! Other vegan options I didn't try: Vegan Pumpkin waffles (rare to find them without eggs and milk), Vegan summer salad, Jackfruit teriyaki bowl ”
“ The setting for dinner was lovely. We sat in the front section to take advantage of the fan as the weather was quite humid. The staff were very attentive and kept out water glasses topped up. I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken burger. My wife had the savoury waffles which she enjoyed. For dessert, we had the Dome chocolate mousse, with salted caramel centre and peanut biscuit. It was divine! The juices were also great! We had the pineapple, banana and lime. ”
“ Great coffee and quality of food is really good. Lots of vegan options, and do checkout their bakery on the front. Vegan jackfruit wrap (gluten free option) is bomb. It took me couple visits, to try the pumpkin bowl with homemade vegan feta. OMG. The feta is soooo good. Just wish it was more ;) ”
“ Tropical paradise cafe! Phenomenal food and baking! I tried the rainbow bowl, dairy free ice cream, and pavlova. All were delicious! I love the back area. Like a greenhouse and cafe together. Bright and full of plants and life. Very peaceful. Though it can be busy and fill up. I have been back many times in just a few days. ”
“ Breakfast, lunch, dinner, I would eat here every meal if I could. Amazing food, great atmosphere. They made their own bread and pastry. There is a lot of choices on the menu. If you are going to amed, you must stop here. ”
