Hunters Harvest - SEDDON

Expected more vegan options regarding the bowls, but the smoothie I had called “all berries” was very nice

I ordered dinner for dine-in, paid, and sat down to wait for my meal. After a long wait, I was told that I would have to take my order to go because they were closing early (40 minutes before the advertised time). When I asked for a refund, they gave me the wrong change and did not apologize.

My friends and I went for a late Sunday lunch at this restaurant. We ordered coffees, the mushroom bowl, and the Hawaiian bowl with tofu. The Hawaiian bowl was fantastic, with generous portions of vegetables, protein, and sauces. The coffees were also good. Unfortunately, there were some technical issues with our order reaching the kitchen, resulting in a 40-minute wait for our food. Despite this inconvenience, we still plan on returning to this restaurant.

I was disappointed when I thought I was served bark with tofu in my noodle dish at this restaurant, especially after reassuring the staff that everything was vegan. However, they replaced my dish, offered a refund, and apologized for the mistake. We ordered cappuccinos but were served lattes instead, and the soy milk was not to our liking. The spring rolls we ordered were supposed to come with salad, but there was none. Despite this, we decided not to ask for a replacement. The noodles were bland and overpriced at $17.50, and the tofu lacked flavor. Overall, the dishes were mediocre and not worth the price. The coffee was decent, but not up to Melbourne standards. It seems like the restaurant does not prioritize dressing up or offering many vegan options, so I don't plan on returning. However, it was noted that they have new owners as of 5.3.21, so I may consider giving them another chance. The service was friendly and there were more vegan options on the menu. I tried the roasted veg dish with tofu, but the tofu was overly salty and the salad was overdressed. There is potential for improvement, but I don't see myself returning due to the mediocre food and high prices.

I visited this restaurant for a protein smoothie because I had enjoyed a large berry smoothie here before. The smoothie was refreshing and cold, so we decided to try some food for dinner as well. We each ordered a vegan burger for $15 and a side of sweet potato fries for $6, served with hummus instead of the non-vegan sriracha sauce. I personally did not enjoy the sweet potato fries much, but the burger may have been good if it wasn't overloaded with relish, making it taste like a dessert. I did manage to taste a small portion of the chickpea patty under the relish, which was delicious, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by the sweetness.
