The rumours are true, @comptoir_v is shrimply the best 🍤 {#ad}
These guys create sexy grub with a focus on natural ingredients and THEY’RE NAILING IT 👏🏼 Here’s what @thebigjolleyvegan & I ate:
🌱Dynamite Shrimp – Tempura battered vegan shrimp tossed in sriracha aioli
💰£6.75
✏️ One of the best vegan dishes I’ve had👌🏼 Made from tofu, potato & kelp, texture is brill. Mild heat from the sriracha, sweet chilli flavour
❓Order Again? Yes
🌱Moroccan Buddha Bowl w/ aubergine zaalock, sautéed spinach, curried chickpeas, spiced sweet potato & caramelised onions, quinoa & pumpkin seeds
💰£9.95
✏️This is to die for. Curried chickpeas & aubergine are heavenly!
❓Order Again? Yes
🌱Southern style battered mushroom ribs, cashew ‘Mac & cheese’, steamed garlic kale and a herbed carrot & squash purée
💰£11.95
✏️So much yes. The glaze took me back to my rib days. Mushrooms as a meat sub are my fave, texture is perfect. Kale beaut, mac was creamy & moreish but would’ve liked even cheesier
❓Order Again? Yes
🌱It’s No Jerk – Baked 3 bean jerk patty, vegan cheese, island jerk mayo & BBQ sauce
💰£7.50
✏️Patty holds together well but it‘s still messy. Love the Moroccan flavours, cheese melts well & has nice flavour. Don’t normally love a bean burg but enjoyed this
❓Order Again? Yes
🌱Crispy coated jackfruit nuggets w/ a garlic spiced glaze
💰£6.75
✏️ Batter is amazing – light but crisp. Just the right amount of sauce, flavour not too sharp, jackfruit not overly juicy – made it more realistically meaty
❓Order Again? Yes
🌱Moroccan ‘Ghife’ bread
💰£2.50
✏️ This is insane. Like a light, flaky croissant!
❓Order Again? Yes
🌱’No Cheese’ Cheesecake – Special on that day was chocolate
💰£5.95
✏️Wow. Delicious! Consistency is perfection. Looks like it’ll be dense but it’s not. Light, creamy, more milk than dark choc
❓Order Again? Yes
