Editorial Review

Recent renovations have given Kensington’s veggie heads a brighter, more modern spot to meet for all things vegan. The sesame tempeh and avocado sammie astonishes with a house-made multi-grain, a touch of walnut-spinach pesto, date-olive tapenade and lemon tahini, summer-fresh tomatoes, greens, earthy alfalfa, velvety avocado and meaty grilled tempeh that’s licked with a slightly sticky sesame glaze. Lime leaf–laced curried cauliflower soup is bright and long on flavour. Vegan. Unlicensed.
