August 20, 2011: Munsterhaus Ii

Despite our initial enthusiasm, it's taken us to a greater extent than than a yr to brand a provide view to Munsterhaus. In business office this is to produce with their trading hours - they're basically a tiffin identify too are shut on Sundays. Given our weekend breakfast habit, it's a rare Sabbatum that we're looking around for somewhere to become for lunch. There's likewise something summery almost Munsterhaus - the mass of the nutrient is salady, too the large windows are made for letting inwards the sunshine, so it hasn't been a priority over winter. So when fountain all of a abrupt appeared on a fairly placidity Sabbatum nosotros jumped on our bikes too headed over for a revisit.

Not much has changed since nosotros were starting fourth dimension at that spot - the setup is as cute too fashionable as always too the dining options are the same: modest ($9), medium ($12.5) or large ($16) plates filled with a pick 'n' mix of salads too hot dishes. Even some of the dishes are the same - nosotros both returned for some other become at the delicious tempeh too broccoli salad, but otherwise nosotros mixed things upwards a little.

I had a medium plate with 1 of the hot dishes (a mild kokosnoot too tofu curry) served on a picayune scoop of quinoa, with a few garlicky brussel sprouts, the aforementioned tempeh, some other broccoli based salad (this 1 with marinated tofu), a chickpea salad too a miso-flavoured noodle salad. There's a dab of tofu-based dip somewhere inwards at that spot as well.

Everything was first-class - lots of fresh vegies turned into creatively flavoured salads. I mean value adjacent fourth dimension I'll ditch the hot meals altogether (the curry was fine, but it form of seeped into all the other dishes) too only compile a salad plate. The glazed slivers of crispy sesame tempeh were the stand-out, but that's hardly a surprise. It's wonderful to become out too swallow a large plate of delicious nutrient too non experience similar you're existence specially unhealthy.

Cindy had the broccoli too brussel sprouts as well, but otherwise ordered completely differently to me. She used a lentil too chocolate-brown rice dish as her base of operations too and then piled a duet of okara patties on exceed with a few crispy polenta triangles too a large dollop of spicy cashew dip.

She was as happy with her choices - specially the okara patties, which were almost similar unprocessed chicken-nuggets too were an first-class vessel for the cashew dip.

Having ordered a modest plate, Cindy felt justified inwards trying out Munsterhaus' dessert. She ordered a land of flourless chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla icecream on exceed ($6).

This was a pleasant dessert - the cake was a chip lite on the cocoa, but Cindy liked the coarse home-ground texture of the almonds. I mean value she'd cause got been meliorate off getting a bigger plate of savoury delights.

I'm non certain how much of my positivity almost this tiffin is related to the speak gorgeousness of the conditions inwards Melbourne. We went for a wander along Merri Creek later too everything seemed correct with the world, so it's difficult to experience anything but neat almost our lunch. Munsterhaus was the perfect lucifer for the day, healthy, tasty too loaded with veggies. The service was friendly too the java was fine (although Cindy wasn't the excited past times her chai). Vegans should cause got no problems - I mean value my plate was accidentally vegan too alone the yoghurt on Cindy's brown-rice dish un-veganed her plate. There was at to the lowest degree 1 vegan dessert on offering as well. Pick a sunny Sabbatum too go!
