The previous incarnation of The Gasometer, which we loved enough to blog ten times, closed unceremoniously belatedly concluding year. It reopened concluding week nether novel management, boasting about modest renovations, a novel card as well as a couple of bands that piqued our interest.
The front end bar hasn't changed much at all, until you lot stimulate got a unopen await at that menu. It's got vegetarian, vegan as well as gluten-free labelling that starts strong inward the starters as well as mains but peters out confusingly every bit the listing moves on to sides, desserts as well as kids' options. There's none of the mock meat Americana nosotros knew as well as loved, amongst vegans evidently restricted to the mushroom as well as walnut tacos (and presumably the light-green salad as well as chips). There are a position out of other vegetarian items, including murphy as well as leek pierogi ($12/22), eggplant croquettes ($12), a lentil burger ($18), as well as lentils amongst roti ($18).
Michael had a shot at the Double Sandwich ($17), a tiny as well as inexplicably named brioche bun stuffed amongst a overnice chickpea curry as well as yoghurt sauce. (P.S. the advert has been made explicable past times Hannah in the comments.) The portion of crunchy crinkle-cut fries was to a greater extent than generous.
Meanwhile I tested out the cauliflower hotdog ($14): about other brioche bun, this fourth dimension stacked amongst caramelised onion, cauliflower inward a creamy sauce, cheese, hot sauce as well as parsley. It was an fantabulous combination of flavours, but didn't evoke a hotdog at all.
Finally, Michael as well as I shared a pair of the vegan mushroom as well as walnut tacos ($12). These ingredients had the potential to cast a satisfyingly savoury mince-like texture but were taken to most the puree stage, to my mild disappointment. The tacos were under-seasoned too: a piddling to a greater extent than tabular array salt as well as lime juice would stimulate got actually livened these up.
So it seems that the Gasometer is no longer the punky, vegan haven of yore. As a vegetarian I'd endeavour to a greater extent than of the menu, but it'll stimulate got about other actually expert dish or 2 for this venue to climb its agency dorsum into our favourite pub shortlist. Scheduling a few to a greater extent than gigs similar this 1 wouldn't wound their crusade either.
