The Banana Lounge

Updated, 31/12/2014: The Banana Lounge didn't terminal long - James together with Matt blogged a run-down of novel veg*n hotspots on their radar, including The Banana Lounge. While spending the calendar week inwards Brisbane for work, I squeezed inwards a lunchtime see later a morning time at GOMA's first-class APT7 exhibition. The Banana Lounge's outside is a fairly dowdy brownish brick edifice amongst a few telling xanthous flags together with stools. Stepping within I was inwards familiar vegetarian cafe territory: decorations were cheery, abundant together with haphazard; Cat Stevens controlled the stereo for the entire hour.

The carte du jour covers breakfast, lunch, drinks together with cake; it's all vegan together with gluten-free options are helpfully marked. Savoury cook-ups amongst mock meats together with tofu scrambles are prominent, though of class my oculus paused longer over the pancakes, muesli together with raw crepes farther downwardly the page. Lunch covers the vege classics  - a felafel plate, Indian curry plate, burrito together with burgers, addition there's customisable sandwiches together with sometimes pies inwards the warmer.


To drink, there's the requisite choice of smoothies, juices, kokosnoot H2O together with organic soft drinks. I was tickled to encounter iced chai ($4.50) on another menu. This i scored points for non containing aerosol cream but i time to a greater extent than come upward across equally lilliputian to a greater extent than than sweetness milk amongst cinnamon powder. I tin ambit notice last soy-fussy but can't error the milk together with icecream used here.


I was inwards a burger frame of hear together with tried out their 'beef' i ($9.50). The main ingredients were pretty criterion materials - soft roll, Fry's patty, tomato plant sauce together with mayonnaise - but I appreciated their efforts amongst the salad. I could barely closed my rima oris around the burger thank yous to the tomato plant together with cucumber chunks within, together with I happily dug into the extra lightly dressed leaves on the side.


Much of the carte du jour relies on like items made elsewhere (bacon, sausages, pies) - ordering the tofu scramble or the pancakes mightiness ambit a ameliorate impression of what the Banana Lounge's chef is actually capable of. I'd become dorsum together with ambit 'em a go, though I mightiness move out the big breakfast (at a mega $19.50) for Michael to review adjacent fourth dimension he's inwards the sunshine state.
