A Decent Experience

I started off with a fruit salad. The melons were bland as a grey-painted wall, and hard as rock. The pineapple pieces though? 10/10. It’s was like I was transported straight into the tropics during the solid 2 seconds of each bite. Yum.

The service was good. The waiter crew was very helpful and I got the opportunity to charge my phone at the bar.

There were no clearly labeled vegan items on the menu (I do love it when restaurants label them); however, you could get two main dish items on the menu made vegan, one of them being the fried asparagus, and the other being ”sooted lace cabbage”.

I went for the asparagus.


I got surprised with a pre-dinner snack. Some kind of crunchy bread with a (vegan) garlic dip! Yum.

The dip was smooth and thick. Went perfectly with was seemed to be home-made bread.


The main dish looked absolutely fab.

The asparagus was very crunchy, almost raw, not to my taste at all. I prefer my spar fried deeply until almost mushy.

The vinaigrette was very peppery since the salad had a bunch of jalapeño pieces in it - a little too spicy for my taste. Apart from that, it didn’t taste like much. It lacked a hint of sweet, like a delicious maple syrup glaze.

To be fair the pickled jalapeños had some sugar in them to balance the saltiness and the lemon vinaigrette was quite fresh with the tang; however, I prefer my food drenched in sauce so it simply wasn’t enough.

The dish also contained crispy mushrooms which, again, tasted quite bland. The texture intrigued me, though.

To combat the blandness I decided to use some of the garlic dip for the asparagus - to much success.


Overall, quite a letdown. The garlic dip surprised me, though, and also the homemade bread.

The plating was absolutely gorgeous, though.

The pricing was also expensive as heck, as it usually is when food is veganified (185 kr for some asparagus, like, give me a break dude, and 50 kr for a couple of pieces of fruit), however, the servers were very nice.

I also got some extra garlic dip and bread when I told em I loved it so much, plus points for that. 😉

Plus points for having the option to veganify at all, also. I had to ask for it, though.

4/10

Pros: Friendly staff, The extra garlic dip + bread

Cons: Expensive, The main dish (made vegan) was kind of bland.
