Loved the quirky decor and we sat for a drink first and had some ‘small plates’ as we were early and peckish. The cauliflower dish was delicious. The sauce was mostly sweet chilli sauce but we shared it and the hummus dish. Good falafels. For mains later in the evening we had Buddha salads. Good but shoold offer more fresh dressings and not just mayo or ketchup I feel. Clean toilet and nice atmosphere despite being quiet. Would visit again for tapas.

One word: STUFFED! That’s how we ended up last night. What a great meal, omg! I am not a vegan but one of our friends is, so we were a party of 4 and only one of us vegan. The non vegan ones enjoyed our meals so much and our vegan friend was lost in the menu with so much option, which she’s not used to at a normal restaurant.Happy? Yes.Are we coming back? HELL YES!Thank you so much.

The atmosphere is so lovely and cosy! As Mancunians we appreciated being able to eat vegetarian food affordably for a change, though drinks and desserts naturally cause the bill to mount!

Great little vegan restaurant. We had the Sunday lunch and it was the best I have ever tasted! It was a full plate of chickn and various veggies and Yorkshire pudding. The smores sundae was also pretty excellent.

Voltaire proves that vegan food can be fun. Quirky decor that works brilliantly, friendly staff, tasty imaginative food. The hardest thing was deciding what not to have. A must visit if you're in Bangor.

Lovely little place, quiet and can smell the seaside pleasantly breezing through the door, food was excellent, home made mayonnaise and would love to have that recipe, 59 yards from the pier.Vegetarian options: Vegan restaurant with lovely food, I am a meat eater, and this was a cracking burger, did me a gluten free option as well.

Waste of money/time.We came all the way from Southampton for a holiday to visit North Wales.As vegans we try to choose our eating out places only vegan restaurants to support them. However we were so disappointed this time.Lets start from the toilet…OMG it smells disgusting, no button on the flash/no toilet roll holder, (is it too expensive to fix!?)baby changing matt touches on the dirty floor.(get at least the portable ones that you can pull out from the wall, doesnt take much space).The food menu wasnt expected… as in the Google Review shows the one from 2 years ago so we planned to choose from that menu but the waitress said they change in every season, however we figure it out something to order.The Beast ( not tasty too greasy)Creamy garlic Mushroom, came with the big chipped plate( no garlic taste at all, mushrooms were soggy)V Calamari ( just about okay)Dirty fries(frozen chips, frozen cheese-it wasnt even melted- added some sauces and couple of jalapeños on top, doesnt worth £5.75)We were planning to have some desserts and take some to home but from all disappointments I had half of my dirty fries and wanted to leave as early as possible.Oh also we had a little one so we asked for a high chair. It was dirty and sticky, probably not even cleaned for ages. So I ended up cleaning.We had cocktail and bottled beer. Cocktail arrived pre-spilt, taste was good.Service was fast and the waitress was nice.We spent £50… out of all I strongly NOT RECOMMEND this place.Update-9.8.23After this review they sent a msg to us saying, why did you leave bad review, ahaha is that a joke!There were facts needed to be point out! so you do better for the next customers instead of arguing…
Beautiful food! Freshly made and served with a smile. Cosy and cute seating. Braf.

It's a real shame. Such potential impacted by quality and service. Over an hour, wait without attention from arrival to delivery of food in an uncomfortable spot after a booking muddle not managed well. Speciality burgers were reported as standard but my dish was very nice indeed. Mocktail not much cop. Price pretty cheap. Atmosphere excellent.....We booked via telephone. Upon arrival, a group before us were having a difficult conversation as there was no evidence of their booking. They were allocated the only remaining family table. We stepped forward to be told our booked table for which there was evidence of having been made was just taken by the people before us and can we sit at this mall corner table for two a d have two chairs pulled up from.oitside. We complied. It was difficult and uncomfortable though.After about a 16min wait at the table, the service arrived despite not being really busy. We ordered. Drinks arrived promptly.The non alchoholic mohito was lemonaid with some mint leaves. I had to crush my leves myself just to get an alternative flavour to lemonaid.After about a further 40 mins I had to get up fromntable and enquired whether we had been forgotten. The staff had spent the whole time chatting at the bar. It looked like every table onnthe floor was waiting g. I was apologetically told there was a very small kitchen and it would be soon.A trip to the communal toilet revealed a poorly maintained cistern with an easynrepair ifnored and generally pub like experiance.Shortly after our cutlery was delivered. the placings for all 4 of us was deposited in one plie and left for us to sort out..After a further 15 minnwait without any attention from the staff, we were discussing abandoning when the food arrived. I've never walked out of a place before to give you an idea of the frustration of wait combined with being ignored.It was good food. Not great overall, but good. Not worth the wait.The entire.time.the ambience was good with good choice of music, but it did rigger overload for myndaughter due to the volume and going over the edge of hungry.We left as soon as we finished the main not wa ting to linger.Shame... amateurish service ruined what could have been an inexpensive and pleasant evening.Vegetarian options: Rntire menu is Vegan

I visited with my friend and we were seated on a table at the back. The setting is quirky and a nice vibe. The table we had was a little sticky due to it needing a good sanding and repainting. There were some flies around which were a little annoying. We had a cocktail and a merlot which was very nice. Our server took our drinks order but was very slow coming back to us to take our food order. We ordered about 5 or 6 small plates for the deal. The tofu was delicious! Would recommend. The jerk cauli wings were nice in texture but essentially had the same sauce as the sweet chilli dip for the zucchini. It wasn’t jerk maybe it had a little citrus in it? There was a mayo dip which was a bit bland. It took a long time for them to come and take our plates and get the bill to us. We had a reasonably nice time because we could chat to one another. I think we would go back and hope to try the other bits on the menu

Voltaire has an extensive, varied menu but as I was only in Bangor for a short time and this place is only open 3 days a week, I only got to try one main course. I settled on a "Jackie Chan", which was a burrito filled with V-steak and salad. It came with chips, coleslaw and more salad. The V-steak was very tasty and I would love to have tried their V-chicken as well. But even better was the side-dish, Creamy Garlic Mushrooms - this came with garlic bread which was a great combination if you like garlic, as I do.

Both service and food were absolutely incredible. We've not had vegan food like here before, it was absolutely divine and can tell why it has such a good reputation. We tried a burger and the beast platter so we could try as much off the menu as possible and we're gutted we weren't around for longer to come back.We can't wait to come back to Bangor.... Probably just to come back here! Thank you for hosting one of the best meals we've ever had!
