The Fiction Kitchen

My wife and I were visiting Raleigh for the first time from Houston and discovered this restaurant. We’ve eaten at vegan restaurants all over the country and this is probably the tastiest and most savory meal I’ve had in years. If you’re vegan and can afford a plane ticket, get to Raleigh now and eat here. Service and atmosphere great too!

We went with a party of one vegetarian and 3 regular meat eaters. Everyone left full and very happy with the food and service! The new location is really nice, and the drinks were very fun too. Highly recommend for anyone, not just vegans!

We ordered the peanut noodles and the risotto, and we actually enjoyed the flavors of both dishes. The taste was good overall. However, the wait time for our main courses was quite long — about 45 minutes from the time we ordered. We had already finished our appetizers (which we intentionally ate slowly), emptied our drinks, and still waited another 15–20 minutes for our entrées to arrive. It may have been a busy night, but the delay was noticeable. Unfortunately, my peanut noodles were overcooked. They were so soft that they would almost fall apart when I picked them up with my chopsticks. I just didn't have the heart to complain since I just really wanted to go home. The grilled tofu, though, was very good — it almost tasted like grilled chicken! Our server was attentive for the most part. The chef (or possibly the owner) also came to greet us, which we appreciated. I would just gently suggest being mindful about physical contact with young children. She hugged our toddler, and while it may have been well-intentioned, not all parents are comfortable with that, especially with someone they just met. We were seated near the door, and it was quite cold. If you're visiting during

I stopped here while traveling and can say I love every aspect of it. The place is cute and everyone is a vibe. Both ladies that helped me in the bar were super nice and I didn't feel like I was sitting alone. 😌 The food was amazing. I'm not vegan, but eat vegan with family members who are and didn't miss any of my typical items. Everything had so much flavor. The lions mane ragoon was phenomenal. I feel in love with the chocolate ganache dessert. 😋

Love this place! Delicious local homemade vegan food and superb service with a great eclectic vibe. I ordered the specials - cashew cream of mushroom soup and Farmers Market pot pie. My husband ordered the Carolina BBQ sandwich and fries. We topped it off with the pumpkin cheesecake and tres leches. Everything was delicious. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Don’t miss out on the specials!
