I really liked the Tofu Salt and Pepper bowl at this restaurant. It was so delicious! The dish included stir-fry rice, mushrooms, and bok choy, which added great flavor.

The menu doesn't have a lot of vegan choices, just a few, but the fried broccoli was exceptional. It was coated in a delicious sweet vinaigrette, pickled chili, and sesame seeds. Definitely worth a visit just for this dish.

I went to this charming old pub with both indoor and outdoor seating and was delighted to discover they had a variety of delicious vegan (and gluten-free) options. We ordered the eggplant and mushroom wellness bowl, fried broccoli and pickles, as well as some tasty hummus and flatbread. Everything was really good!

Was a bit funny as you are not allowed to use their toilet as long as you buy their food in the cafe, sign was hang on the toilet wall.
