There conduct maintain been Moroccan Soup Bar, sure enough a fellow member of Melbourne's vego hall-of-fame. We stumbled across the novel enterprise on Saturday, together with promptly returned for luncheon the side past times side day. They've taken over the old Miramar Nut Shop, which was a stalwart of the Brunswick nutrient scene Fitzroy restaurant.

The ordering procedure is hilariously elementary - you lot specify how hungry you lot are (we said 7.5 on a scale of 1 to 10), whatever dietary restrictions you lot conduct maintain (e.g. if you're vegan or gluten-free) together with whether or non you lot desire things spicy. And together with thence you lot merely sit down downward together with hold back for a plate of amazing goodness to move delivered (these toll $15 - presumably it's less if you lot specify a lower degree of hunger).

Our repast included 2 stunning falafel balls, 3 dissimilar grain-based salads, a tater salad, merely about fresh lettuce together with herbs addition a generous splodge of hummus, pickles together with a side of bread. There's also a tablespoon or thence of harissa hiding nether at that spot somewhere. By my reckoning, this was all vegan, although nosotros weren't totally sure well-nigh the felafel sauce. I was knocked out past times this repast - it was brilliant together with colourful together with loaded amongst fresh, punchy flavours.

I ordered a java to complete things off, together with was easily convinced to crusade a traditional Moroccan nous-nous, or half-half (see this post for a summary of how to brand your own). The java was wonderful, amongst a rigid but non bitter hit. The staff generously threw inwards a modest serve of stunning ricotta pancakes amongst a sticky, citrussy syrup on top.

This was 1 of the best lunches I've had inwards ages - sitting inwards the window looking out of the Lygon Street sunshine together with eating this wonderful nutrient actually made me realise how lucky I am to alive inwards this spectacular city. Between Moroccan Deli-Cacy together with the ever-reliable Mankoushe upward the road, this cervix of the woods has the cheap, Mediterranean-style luncheon marketplace sewn up.
