So excited to try this new west end vegan restaurant with my friends for a bday treat.
We all started with the special potato soup with corn bread that had kale and fennel. Both were delicious! The soup was thick and creamy and the corn bread was a dry, crumbly texture and it was a great start to the meal.
Friend 1 ordered the tacos filled with purple yams on a soft corn tortilla.....very nice flavour. Friend 2 ordered the cauliflower and spinach dish which had a nice lemony flavour. I ordered the chickpea crepe which was filled with broccoli and cabbage I believe. It was cooked just right and tasted wonderful. The cauliflower dish and chickpea crepe came with a side salad which had a nice light vinaigrette, but part way through I noticed a hair in the salad. I would have assumed it was my hair but it was in the salad, not on it, so I couldn't be sure.
My friend had the special pumpkin cheesecake for dessert which she enjoyed. It had a light, somewhat granular texture....not smooth or creamy, but very tasty. Unfortunately, we found a 2"piece of fuzz in it. I ordered the oat and maple butter tart which tasted horrible.....I had my friends taste it to make sure it wasn't just my taste buds and they agreed. I told the chef/owner and he took it back, tasted it and agreed. He said he tried a new vegan margarine and that resulted in the poor taste. He threw them all out. We ordered 2gf choc chip cookies instead and I enjoyed it. It def tasted gf so my son would not like it but I really enjoyed it.
When the bill arrived, we were not charged for any of the dessert items and we were all given cards to return for a discounted meal.
The place is cute and small with a few tables to eat in and packaged items to take out.
The food was presented well and the staff were friendly. I will go back as anyone can make a mistake, but they took the proper measures to make up for it.
