| - I am always up to try new things, and don't get me wrong I eat plenty of vegetables and don't really avoid them, but I believe that this was my first official visit to a vegetarian/vegan restaurant. That being said, by suggesting to the wife that we eat at Fern hopefully scored me some brownie points.
The restaurant was not busy on the Saturday night that we were there, maybe vegetarians go to bed early. I chose the eggplant curry because I certainly wanted something flavorful and it delivered. It wasn't too spicy but had a little bite to it. I was not asked about spice level when I ordered. The wife had the mole glazed tempeh. This dish was not conceived with me in mind as those two things are some of my least favorite. Who am I kidding, I hate both mole sauce and tempeh. I did try it however and yeah it's not for me, shocker. Oh I almost forgot the wife wanted to try the cauliflower poutine as an appetizer so we shared it. This dish was definitely poutine inspired, but poutine it was not. Flavor was ok, but whenever the word poutine is used, my picky side comes out. For dessert we shared the peanut butter beignets, which had awesome flavor.
Overall, a good vegetarian experience and prices were decent. I can see some people complaining paying that much for just veggies, but you can't please everybody. I would definitely bring vegetarian friends here.
