Came here as a work outing of 13 people with a menu pre-planned out.
Our group had meat-eaters who were very happy with their food - I was very very full from eating the hell out of the vegan menu.
At first when they posted this pick for our dinner I was dismayed that I wouldn't have anything to eat. Then our organizer sent out the vegan menu. There were 3 of us vegans and our menu would include three small or 2 large of every item (below). It was a bonkers amount of food. And I tried so hard to stomach all of it. I tried to pawn some veggies off on the meat eaters but they had beef, fried chicken, 2 types of fish, ceviche, lamb, and pork. They had no room for more. The food they gave us could have fed 16 easily.
Oh and the drinks were good! (virgin ones too!) I don't know for certain but I think most things on the table were gluten free.
Vegan menu only listed
Appetizers
* Raw Celeriac, Smoked Pear, Walnut Cocoa Pesto: wow that pesto was some kind of flavor and balanced perfectly with the clear bright celeriac and light pear.
* Cavolo Nero on Toast, Toasted pinenuts - if you like kale this is yummmm
* Quinoa, Blood Orange, Puntarelle - I don't love quinoa but this was nice and easy to nibble
* Roasted red pepper dip with baby butter lettuce - when I ran out of lettuce I ate it with a spoon.
Mains
* Baked Kohlrabi, Chopped Kale, Bergamot, Pinenuts - best cooked Kohlrabi I've had. Firm but juicy - almost the consistency of honeydew. And the green sauce and kale just made it joyful
* Whole Baked Tikka Aubergine, Tahini, Cucumber, Crispy Onion - Great eggplant. expertly cooked and plated. Some pieces were spicier than others. But I kinda like that mystery
* Charred Gem Hearts, Pickled King Oyster, Wild Garlic & Quinoa - What was in the sauce?! SO good. I dipped fries in it, so yum.
* Spiced Pineapple & Lime Sorbet - I didn't like this though others did.
* Chocolate Tart & Date - a smokey dollop on top was enjoyed by many - I just liked the tart.
* Almond Milk Panna Cotta & Macerated Clementine - first time having panna cotta and it was not my thing. Also the clementine flavor was far too sharp next to it for me. read more
