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.

March 21-22, 2009: Continental House
Continental House is a 'vegan life sanctuary' inwards Hepburn Springs. It offers pocket-size accommodation equally good equally activities similar yoga, massage courses, chanting together with raw nutrient workshops. They likewise get got a vegan banquet on nigh Sabbatum nights. This is what drew a grouping of Vegan Potluckers to the Conti for a weekend route trip.
Most of the rooms tally ii or 3 people, together with they're pleasantly comfortable if non modern. There are shared toilets together with showers unopen to the corner, though Michael together with I works life ourselves inwards the i room alongside an en suite. This proved to endure a bathroom room inwards the nigh literal sense, containing a zip to a greater extent than than a bathroom together with mirror! As good equally numbers the rooms get got nicknames (ours was 'Pixie'), subsequently the murals painted on their walls.
There are likewise communal kitchen together with lounge areas where you lot tin residue together with instruct to know the other visitors together with residents. While making toast inwards the kitchen, Michael met a resident who'd been on a water-only fast for the past times sixty hours. Why he was torturing himself past times standing inwards the midst of food, I don't know.

The banquet takes identify inwards a lovely room below the invitee bedrooms. There's plenty of room for everyone staying at the House, together with the 10 of us easily fitted unopen to the largest of the tables.
The Conti is alone alcohol free, but nosotros were treated to freshly squeezed orangish juice equally good equally non-alcoholic passionfruit, strawberry together with ginger wines.
The get shape was a sweetness potato, tomato, lentil together with basil soup served alongside corn chips. As nosotros happily slurped together with crunched together with chatted our agency through it, nosotros didn't notice the empty serving tables (pictured above) existence stacked generously alongside to a greater extent than food. It was an overwhelming array of salads, dips together with bakes.
My plate includes:- a pumpkin kokosnoot curry alongside chickpeas, coriander together with dark mustard seeds,
- tabouleh,
- beetroot dip
- a spicy pickled cabbage salad alongside bitter greenish leaves,
- avocado,
- more corn chips,
- a salad of tofu, seaweed, carrot together with shitake mushrooms,
- a spicy mash bake,
- lightly dressed kolrabi together with Chinese greens,
- and the tabular array favourite, an orangish dip of eggplant, capsicum, garlic together with olive oil.
There was plenty to instruct around, alongside Toby piling upwardly his tertiary plate alongside avocado simply equally I was finishing my first.
And of shape at that topographic point was dessert: fruit salad topped alongside banana icecream together with terra firma cashews.This variety of banquet is hardly contest for Melbourne's degustation greats. Rather, it's stuffed amount of home-made hippy goodness, what you lot powerfulness expression to abide by at a Hare Krishna eating theatre (though alongside less deep frying). The tranquil setting is plenty to gear upwardly anyone at ease. That is, if your catch doesn't coincide alongside a raucous Vegan Potluck route trip!
