Our Story
The Lotus-Heart was established in February 1997. In 2008 we added a second location in Cathedral Square. Both businesses were ended by the big quake in February 2011. Our current location in St Asaph Street began in July 2011. We use the freshest ingredients, locally grown and organic where possible, natural sweeteners, vegetarian and plant-based cheese, and a selection of plant mylks for beverages. In addition to vegetarian fare, our menu is predominantly wholefood plant-based with ample gluten-free options and choices for those on raw food diets. By request and if possible we are happy to cater for specific allergy needs. Children are most welcome and we have a children’s menu and high chairs available. Please note that we have a separate onion and garlic free menu available by request.
We hope you enjoy your experience at The Lotus-Heart. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your time with us more enjoyable.
