LUNCH AT PLANT BASE.
🌱 Plant Base is a collective spearheaded by vegan junkies that serves
as a food lab for local vegan eateries. With rotating menus there’s definitely something for everybody all under one roof. In true Be Bold style we couldn’t decide what to go for, so opted for a little of everything.
🍌 Spicy Banana Pizza: Yes, you heard that right! When we first ordered this strange concoction from banana spicy we worried it would be too weird, too sweet and would have an odd texture, it we were pleasantly surprised by the gentle kick of heat and more subtle sweetness of this doughy masterpiece. The base was the right side of chewy and reminded us of naan.
❓ would you order again? YES
🍔 So Fresh, So Clean burger: representing Lisbon vegan junkies this burger is perfect if you’re a fan of a classic, no frills burger. With its beyond meat patty, lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles and burger sauce interior topped with a nicely, toasted brioche bun, this burger balanced the flavours nicely and came with a side of fries (regular or sweet potato).
❓ would you order again? YES
🌮 Chorizo tacos: we found the tacos from o36 Tacos to be, sadly, fairly lacking in flavour. They definitely had more than their fair share of heat, but we’re otherwise bland and a little dry.
❓ would you order again? NO
🌽 Vegetable pakoras: We certainly saved the best for last. The vegetable pakoras from bash food were to die for: crispy, mouth-wateringly savoury, with the right balance of potato and onion, we wish we’d ordered more!
❓ would you order again? YES
All of this and two drinks set us back about $20pp, a decent price for a large meal and yes, we polished the entire lot off!
