The vegan telegraph was abuzz this calendar week amongst the intelligence that the chef from the sadly departed East Brunswick Club had started a similar vegan-friendly card going at The Cornish Arms on Sydney Road. We were chop-chop on the representative and, amongst Danni, Keira in addition to assorted others inwards tow, were at that spot on Th nighttime to cheque it out.
It's a overnice plenty pub - there's an enormous bar, loads of tables in addition to a pleasant-looking, if spartan, courtyard. The crowd was a mix of hungry vegans, Brunswick hipsters in addition to locals who may good bring been hanging out at The Cornish Arms since earlier the cool kids moved northward from Fitzroy. The card is real reminiscent of the EBC - there's a parma, only about burgers, nachos... inwards full general lots of mock-meat in addition to junky pub nutrient (there are rumours of pizzas, but nosotros didn't spot whatever vegan-friendly ones on the blackboard only yet). Our form of thing.
Cindy tried out their fish 'n' chips ($20), which had a very familiar hold off most them. The 'fish' chunks are battered tofu, amongst the nori adding a fight of a fishy flavor in addition to the vegan tartare providing the existent highlight. The chips were okay every bit well. Not great, non terrible - only old-fashioned fried goodness.
I had the burrito ($18, which was at to the lowest degree a fight dissimilar from the EBC's mexi-night version).
This came stuffed amongst rice, dark edible bean chilli, mock chicken, mock bacon in addition to vegan cheese, amongst a side of scattered corn chips, a slightly strange jalapeno/guacamole/sour cream sauce bowl in addition to only about salad. It was pretty satisfying - these are good-sized burritos - but at $18 it doesn't actually stair out upward to the excellence of the $10 tofu burrito at Trippytaco (but in addition to hence what does?).
We decided to larn the whole pig in addition to attempt out the vegan dessert - only similar the EBC their brain offering is vegan cheesecake. On our take in it was peanut butter in addition to chocolate flavoured ($6). And, only similar the EBC, it took most an hr to plow up.
And, similar the savoury nutrient that had gone earlier it, it was... fine. H5N1 vegan cheesecake is a pretty reliable dessert selection in addition to these flavours hitting the spot nicely. It powerfulness bring only been my frustration at the hold off (they'd forgotten our order!) but I only wasn't super impressed yesteryear it. Good, but non great.
Don't larn me wrong, the CA is a overnice pub - they've got proficient beers on tap, plenty of infinite in addition to a nice, relaxed vibe. But the nutrient is expensive (vegan mains are $16-$20) in addition to pubs similar The Gasometer in addition to The Fox bring actually kicked the vegan-friendly pub nutrient upward a notch since the heyday of the EBC. Still, if you're later something junky in addition to animal-product-free in addition to desire somewhere y'all won't bespeak to mass or worry also much most how fashionable your facial pilus is looking, in addition to hence it's good worth checking out the Cornish Arms. Let us know what y'all think.
