| - Bummer!
I came here because it was on BlogTO's newest list of best non-veg restaurants for vegans and vegetarians. I'm definitely in the mood for a burger and fries from time to time, and thought that if it was on the list, it must be a good contender.
Man, oh, man. It does not belong on that list.
I ordered their vegetarian burger option, told the guy I wanted it prepared vegan, and he let me know that the bun was egg-washed and the special "P&L Sauce" was mayo-based. So I got it without. What I got, then, for $9 was:
- A small-ish brick of tempeh, with no seasoning to speak of
- wrapped in a limp and pale piece of kale
- topped with tomato, pickle, lettuce & onion.
I had to top it with my own ketchup and mustard. This thing was lame. It was bland and unfilling. It was a bad stereotype of shitty vegan food. I was ashamed to take it back to my office and eat it in front of people.
I can fully support a tempeh-based burger alternative, but it needs some character, man. This was terrible.
It's a brand-new establishment, so it's really inexplicable why it's on that BlogTO list. I can't imagine an actual vegan compiled that thing.
I will not go back.
