one of my favorites - Edit
We went back many times. Especially for breakfast, I can really recommend the smoothies, milkshakes and pancakes! And OMG please try the porridge it's so good!! If you don't like sitting on the floor, it's also possible to sit at a table but all in all it's very cosy and nice :)

Middle finger to this place - Edit
I can normally tolerate pseudo-science, because there is so much of it at veg restaurants, but I won't tolerate it when a restaurant uses it to attack vegans.
Read moreIf I had noticed before ordering, I would've left. They have "attn vegans" warnings on the milkshake page about the risks of soy milk altering your gender and hormones, which is totally BS and has been disproven a bunch of times.
Don't support anti-vegan rhetoric from vegetarian restaurants claiming to "care about your health."
Won't be going back.
Cons: Anti-vegan rhetoric on menu

lovely little gem! - Edit
I really really like this place!
Read morestarting from taking your shoes off and sitting on the ground all the way to their delicious food & drinks!
I'm totally falling for the salad with tempeh which seriously is the best salad I've had in my whole life. it comes with PEANUT SAUCE. how great is that? ugh. food to die for.
their drinks are insanely tasty as well!
unfortunately, the food is so filling that I can never seem to fit some desert - even though these sound amazing as well.
service isn't the fastest but I actually enjoy that in a city like BKK, that never seems to slow down. It has a really relaxed atmosphere; staff is friendly and very helpful.
Prices are rather high, compared to other places in Bangkok, but everything is of great taste, quality and value and definitely worth it/I always see it as a little treat for myself :)
Pros: taste & choice, location (BKK!), service, staff & atmosphere
Cons: price (but worth it!)

Good range, a bit pricey - Edit
Heaps of healthy options, but a bit more expensive than other vegan places on the same street. They are very anti-soy and have lots of advice on not consuming soy all through the menu, which is a bit preachy.
Read morePros: Good range, Healthy options
Cons: Price
Lizachristo
'anti soy' is not the right expression. There is some really good information in the menu about how the long term high consumption of soy can adversely affect thyroid hormone production. They recommend restricting regular soy consumption to fermented soy products, and they use soy based products in many dishes

an oasis near Khaosan road - Edit
This place is hidden in an alley, so you don't really feel like in Khaosan rd.
Read moreExtensive menu, with many info about good body and mental health. Prices ranging in about 120-200 baht.
Good service, free wifi; you can sit on the tables (careful with mosquitoes) or sitting on the cushions.
I usually order the falafel with pita, but it can be a heavy meal depending on your digestion (too much chicken pea for one meal, I guess).
Pros: extensive menu, tasty food
Cons: hard to find if you don't know it

Very nice place - Edit
Nice place, cozy atmosphere, you eat very relaxed. I had a soup, my husband the tempeh burger. Everything was good. But the surprise was the dessert... I wanted the pancake, because I had never tried a vegan pancake. It was in the breakfast menu but they served it to me... So yummy!

My favourite vego place in BKK - Edit
I came across this cozy and cute restaurant years ago on one of my first trips to Bangkok and now a trip to bangkok is never complete with out a visit to Ethos! My favourite dishes are the vegan apple cinnamon pancakes and pretty much any smoothie with a coconut cream/berry combination. The non thai food on the menu is always delicious and for farang food priced reasonable however if your looking for cheap thai bites you might find the prices of the local food higher then you would otherwise pay but consider the ambiance, staff and fact your supporting a local vegie restaurant and like me you will mostly likely leave feeling satisfied and happy to have escaped the craziness of the city during your dining experience at ethos.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options Tasty food, Good ambiance
Cons: In a back alley, can be tricky to find first time

Absolutely amazing food - Edit
I went at around 11am on a Saturday for a late breakfast and it had such a nice chilled vibe there. Relaxing music, away from the busy street and I sat at one of the low tables though there are normal tables and chairs to sit on. I had the banana and coconut shake and the mango and banana pancake. All vegan and gluten free and the flavours were just incredible. The shake was probably the best shake I have ever had and prices were reasonable too. Staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend.

Ethos! - Edit
My most recent visit to Ethos was very good! I went with a group of 6 people who also enjoyed their meals. I ordered the Green Curry, brown rice and after some debate, their chocolate coconut smoothie.
Read moreThe green curry had a great mix of vegetables, but I also have a low spice tolerance and though it was too spicy. I said "pet nit noi"(little spicy) when I should have said "Mai pet"(no spicy). It was also not as sweet as I wanted, but that's just personal preference. The other people I was with liked the spiciness of the curry, while I prefer the sweeter curry at the nearby restaurant Mango. The brown rice was good, and ORGANIC! Ethos really prides itself on healthy food. The smoothie was also very good, so creamy from the coconut milk! Not too sweet, but I was fine with that. I also was able to share Tom Ka, which is spicy coconut soup. Surprisingly not too spicy, but it had a great mix of vegetables and I recommend it!
Prices:
Tom Ka-95 baht
Brown organic rice- 25 baht
Chocolate coconut smoothie- 80 baht (some of the other smoothies were cheaper, around 65 baht)
Green curry- 110 baht
In the future I hope to try their pancakes with vegan coconut cream! They have some nice desserts to choose from, like apple crumble or a chocolate cake(which I couldn't have because it's only vegetarian). There are also some more unique dishes, like spagetti and meatballs(which I hope to try soon!)
Overall, good place with great variety! So many choices!!
One note: they usually bring out food quickly, but one of my friends waited forever until her Pad Thai came out. Everyone else was done by the time her meal reached the table. Maybe they were punishing her for picking the most popular and stereotypical Thai dish, haha.
Pros: Huge Variety, Yummy desserts , Fresh and organic when possible
Cons: Too spicy(personal preference though)

Wonderful! - Edit
The menu was easy to differentiate vegetarian from vegan. Service really good. Food amazing. Seating either at a table with chairs, or a low table with seating on cushions on floor. No a/c but lots of fans. I highly recommend this place! The food was great - so was portion size! It is on a back road (find it by looking for Burger King on Tanaon Road, then walk down the alley/road to the left of it if you are facing it). It is quiet on the back road so you feel secluded from the noise and hustle of town!

Average Food, Great service, Good Atmosphere - Edit
After Craving some western vegetarian comfort food, I visited Ethos in October 2013. It is pretty close to May Kaidee and also Khao San Road.
Read moreI had a Veggie Burger which was kind of average, not much better than one you'd get from Mcdonalds. After reading some of the reviews I would suggest opting for something else. I have to applaud Ethos for having such great variety on the menu, and it is of course a challenge to master everything all the time. The atmosphere and environment of the place is great if you fancy respite from Khao Sand
Pros: Great Choice, Western Food

Love Ethos! - Edit
We love Ethos. Too bad it is at Khao San Road!
Read moreWe visit Ethos every time we are in the area.
Our favorite is the Vegan apple crumble served with warm coconut cream custard. It is indulgent.
Everything on the menu is good. The Falafal (not the best we've tried) but still good. Coconut blueberry shakes. Fried tempeh with peanut sauce,Vegan pancakes, oh and the spaghetti and "meat" balls and vegan Lasagna are SO GOOD.
We even made a video about it!

Love this place! - Edit
What a find this cafe is :) Me and my vegan friend ate here so much! They do vegan lasange, choc cake, pancakes, apple crumble and custard all the things we love! It is a little pricey though. The one thing that annoyed us was the health risk from soya warning on the menu, when soya is so much better for you than dairy milk, but no warnings for that!

Great choices, food is a little boring - Edit
I have been to Ethos many times when I went partying or seeing some friends around Khao San.
Read moreThe place is easy to find if you take a right turn passing by burger king outside of Khao San into a small side street.
They have a variety of vegetarian and vegan food. I'm vegan, so I haven't tried the vegetarian options.
I have to say that the vegan Thai food is quite good, although a little westernized. The western food, tastes quite blend and boring, though. The ingredients seem to be fresh and mainly regional from local suppliers and the staff is friendly and helpful.
It is mainly a tourist joint, though...
Pros: Friendly staff, Fresh and local vegetables, Great choices on the menu
Cons: The western food tastes quite boring, A little pricey, A tourist joint

Worth for its original and large choice - Edit
The place is appealing and cozy. The menu's got international food (for those who can't change habits even for a few days/weeks in the land of worldwide's best cuisine) as well as thai food, all fresh and home-made - even the bread! And the food is very good.
Read moreYet many dishes are expensive, and the staff does not give a fig (Land of smiles, anyone?)
Pros: Excellent food, Large choice of meals for all tastes, Cozy place
Cons: Service, Price, Thai food is not spicy enough
