However, the venue confirmed it had shut its doors with immediate effect earlier this month. It said that the past few years had taken a toll on the business, but added that it had been "an absolute pleasure" to serve the city.
A statement from the restaurant on their website said: "After eight wonderful years of serving vegan food, we are very sorry to say we are now closed with immediate effect. The past few years have taken their toll on all small businesses, and for our small business, in the end it was too much to bear.
"If you had a booking with us, we are afraid that is cancelled and we will not be able to serve you. We had the most amazing team through all these years and it has been an absolute pleasure serving Cambridge."
