Oh mama, I am pacha-nate about brunch š„ {complimentary}ā£
ā£
@pachamamalondonĀ has introduced some vegan options to their swanky little venue šā£
ā£
š±Vegan mushroom & cheese toastieā£
š°Ā£8ā£
āļøThe mushrooms work so well in this. Theyāre cooked to perfection and theyāre very meaty. The vegan cheese is good and melts well. Itās a tad gloopy but I didnāt mind that. Loved the bread. However, I wish there was a little more flavour in it. Perhaps making the shrooms a bit smoky would lift it a bit, or adding a sauce?ā£
āOrder Again?ā£ā£ ā£Yes, w/ changesā£
ā£ā£ā£ā£
š±ā£Vegan waffle, avocado, mushrooms, tomato & pickled onionsā£
š°Ā£14ā£
āļøThe waffle is so soft & fluffy and quite sweet! The guac on its own was too citrusy for me but once mixed with the rest, it worked well. The pickled onions were the standout for me – gave it a nice hit of vinegar. Loved the mushrooms – v well cooked.I do think it needed some kind of sauce or syrup to tie it together although it wasnāt dry at all. Very generous portion, maybe too much for one personā£
āOrder Again?ā£ā£ Yes, w/ changesā£
ā£
š±Caramelised aubergine w/ peanuts & coriander oilā£
š°Ā£9ā£
āļøAb. Solutely. Delicious. Iām becoming more and more of a fan of aub. When itās done like this, you canāt go wrong. It was sweet, salty, nutty, crunchy, squishy, melt in your mouth goodness. My dish of the day!ā£
āOrder Again?ā£ā£ Yesā£
ā£
š±Bashed cucumber saladā£
š°Ā£6ā£
āļøToo oily for me. I enjoyed the first couple of bites but it was very acidic & vinegary and too sharp to eat a whole bowl ofā£
āOrder Again?ā£ā£ ā£Noā£
ā£
š±Padron peppers w/ chilliā£
š°Ā£5ā£
āļøIām just not a fan of peppers! Iāve tried and I just canāt bring myself to enjoy them. However, we got these for Chris and he absolutely loved themā£
āOrder Again?ā£ā£ ā£No (but Chris would)ā£
ā£
I would say that the restaurant needs two more vegan options to make it a vegan brunch destination!ā£
