Serves meat, vegan options available. Non-veg but with a couple of vegan options - ask for assistance. Uses organic locally sourced products. Open Tue-Fri 11:30am-7:00pm.
I’ve been to Realm twice now. The first time I had the Bliss Bowl and the second time they had a Vegan Tostada on special. Both were so good, especially their indo fritters (kind of tastes like the inside of a samosa) and the tahini coconut yoghurt. My boyfriend had the green curry seafood hot pot and I tried some of the broth which was so flavorful! Really good!
I also had a moonbeam dream, kombucha gin drink which was delicious and refreshing!
There were only two dishes on the menu that they said could be made vegan. This entailed removing the eggs, sauce and cheese from the dish and adding an avocado, which just made it weird. The toast that came with the meal was slathered in butter that I didn’t realize until after the first couple of swallows. I left very disappointed and slightly nauseous. It was quite a surprising let down as the restaurant markets themselves as vegan friendly. I won’t go back.

I love their food - Edit
Always fresh, always tasty. Locally sourced ingredients. No styrofoam when ordering takeout. Well worth a visit. Can be quite busy at peak lunch hour.

No real vegan “options” - Edit

Read morePros: A couple of the dishes can be sort of “veganised”
Cons: Moderately high prices, Staff doesn’t seem to understand what vegan means, The veganised dishes ended up being weird
