There were some vegan options on the menu, so we decided to order the Asian noodles and rice bowl.

Tatty decor and help yourself menus greet you at Egon there was no human to do that when we went with 1980's/90's music looping over the speakers. Not a welcome I would want. Sticky tables and a lazy attitude when we ordered our food. A focus on meat and burgerish food plus pizzas is ok for some, but people who try to avoid eating meat and greasy food are not well served. We had to eat that evening so we did go, but what a shame it is so out of time in relation to modern European food.
