Let me start of by saying I am not a vegetarian by a long
shot, but I do have a few vego friends so have sampled many-a good vego
restaurant. Moroccan Soup Bar would probably now be at the top of that list –
vego and vegan friendly. No meat? Who cares. IT. WAS. SO. GOOD.
This review may not be helpful to a lot of people and I
apologise for that. The food came out quickly and those around me tucked in
even faster. On top of that, we ordered the $25 Banquet menu and I have no idea
what I was eating, but despite that, my foray into the unknown was a great
experience. I do have a few tips however, which may help a few people who try
this great place out.
1. Book ahead, it gets busy and they do need tables so move
you out quite quickly
2. Bring your own take away boxes, there will be a lot of
food left over and they encourage you to save it for later (but do not provide
boxes)
3. Go in with an open mind, meat heads! You don’t even
notice there isn’t any meat, due to the onslaught of flavours from every dish.
On to my weak dish descriptions: I believe there was some sort of chickpea dish, with crunchy-somethings on top which was a favourite amongst us all. There are also quite a few nicely spiced dishes which perk the tastebuds up. There are beetroot dishes, potato dishes, rice dishes and the dessert is really nice too (you get a nice sample plate to share. The complimentary peppermint tea or traditional Moroccan coffee you are served at the end of the night rounds the meal off. Love it. I will try to return to shoot individual photos of each dish (and hopefully a better description too!)
TL; DR Best vegetarian restaurant I have eaten at.
OMG, I love moroccan soup bar! Especially the fetteh (affectionately known as "that chickpea thing"). The cold weather always makes me crave moroccan soup bar! I've been meaning to go back soon!
ReplyDeleteYaaaaas. I want to go back and nom everything (and bring my take away boxes lol)
