I'd give this place six stars if I could. Absolutely exceptional.
A vegan food truck run by an Aussie down a back alley - nothing from that sentence would normally tally with Ireland. Vegan. Food Truck. Aussie. Situated somewhere out of the norm. But that's exactly what Veginity is - something really aside from the norm.
Located in the industrial area behind Camden St, somewhere up and behind from the Shaw, you could be forgiven to think you're on the completely wrong track. Actually they have the truck set up inside a workshop shell, so when you reach the green steel industrial-feel doors, you get quite the surprise to see that there is in fact a 'proper' restaurant set up behind it. A rusted chandelier hangs over steel framed tables and chairs. Tables are set simply, and it all comes together to construct a beautifully unique setting.
It's a sign of things to come, and the food arrives, presented as if we're sitting in a Michelin star restaurant. Exquisitely beautiful, delicate in appearance and flavour in a way that you would never in a million years expect to be served out of a food truck.
The menu changes each week according to what Mark the chef gets from the market, and this I suspect will be another key factor in bringing people back time and time again.
There were many highlights for me but to pick just one, it would have to be the desert. Wow. Vegan triple chocolate cake. 70% dark chocolate mousse, 85% chocolate ganache and an almond milk cream with subtle touches of coconut and strawberries on top.
At the moment, the truck opens on Fridays and Saturdays only - follow their Facebook page for menus and any other events they're doing. Really looking forward to seeing how they progress. read more
