Third times a charm for us: after going to P&P which didn't have any vegan options and going to a closed midweek Cafe @ Number 16, we ended up at Aberdour Bistro. While they had plenty of tables most of them were booked ahead for lunch.
The staff was SO gracious:
1) They still seated us - as long as we were able to be in and out within an hour,
2) They still offered us the breakfast menu despite it being very much 11:30 when they switch to the lunch menu,
3) They double and triple checked that things were vegan, not because we asked but because the young man serving us genuinely wanted to (we even told him he didn't have to go back and forth to the kitchen, but he just did).
We got iced americanos that were LOVELY: tall glasses filled with ice and strong, good coffee. And we each got the smashed avocado toast without the poached egg: it was a slice of gently toasted artisan bread with whole vibe tomatoes and a drizzle of spicy bloody mary sauce (which could have been way more spicy, but it was still SO good!). They even discounted our avocado toast because we didn't get the egg... this rarely happens, and it was such a delightful, unexpected surprise. The whole experience was.
Thank you for having us, Aberdour Bistro! We so appreciated your relaxed, welcoming atmosphere! read more
