Restaurant review: The Vegan Longtable

We had Cinnamon mini buns from Buns and Boba. At their Broadway location, almost all their buns are vegan. I liked this particular one because it was a good balance of sweetness without being overly so.

The most creative dish was the Twice Baked Devilled Potato (devilled mash, potato smoked Paprika emulsion, celery curls, and green onion).

One Bite Curry. made with crispy naan, curried cauliflower puree, roasted pepper, pea mint, and cilantro pesto and dehydrated lime, was delicious. Despite the name, I wish it was smaller as I was getting full already! The lime really brightens the dish overall without overpowering the other great flavours.

Sweet & Sassy vegan macarons were a treat. They were strawberry. If you know they were vegan, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference from a normal macaron.

From Companion Bread, we had their croissant made with pistachio butter (compound butter and pistachio nuts), which were and sweet and delicious,.

I keep forgetting how delicious vegan butter is, as it was paired with our croissant (which was very fluffy and moist). I was so full when I was done.

On the side, we had Amai Vegan Treats’ Cococreme Chocolate pudding, which just tasted like creamy chocolate. There’s no real difference in taste unless you like rich, sweet pudding. The chocolate pudding is made with only five ingredients: coconut milk, organic coconut sugar, unsweetened cocoa, pure vanilla extract, and Himalayan pink salt.

We also tried the Hoochy Booch Kombucha Hibiscus Ginger. It is an acquired taste with floral notes and a crisp, ginger flavour.

I loved the Amoda Tea’s Fancy Earl Grey blend that they paired with our dessert.
