December 17, 2008: Gertrude Street Grub - Las Vegan Bakery As Well As Cafe

July 3, 2015: Las Vegan cause got announced that they're closing the cafe in addition to going to focus alone on catering from instantly on - we've sampled their catering earlier in addition to it's great.

Okay, in addition to hence this is pretty embarrassing. We've lived inwards Melbourne for to a greater extent than than ii years, in addition to I've worked on Gertrude Street the entire time, however this is the kickoff fourth dimension we've blogged Las Vegan. It's non genuinely the kickoff fourth dimension I've been at that spot - it seems every fourth dimension I catch amongst the intention of blogging it, I instruct out the photographic television set camera at home, or on my desk or, the 1 fourth dimension I genuinely had it amongst me, the owners were on a 3 calendar week holiday. It's been similar a mini blogging curse. But at final I made it, photographic television set camera inwards manus - only 2 days earlier they unopen downwardly for a month.

Of shape past times now, everyone's had their say (even people similar Theresa in addition to ZB cause got stopped inwards from far flung places). My previous visits cause got had mixed results - the calzone I ordered many months dorsum was a fleck dry out in addition to unexciting, but the sloppy joe that Toby recommended genuinely hitting the spot. I figured it was best to capture Las Vegan at their best, in addition to hence I went dorsum for unopen to other shot at the TVP-based burger ($8.50).

True to the name, the patty is sloppy - all sauce, mushrooms in addition to pseudo-mince, plonked on a fresh roll, amongst a few cursory pieces of Lycopersicon esculentum on top. And it's good! Messy, but really, genuinely expert - it's by in addition to large close the sauce I think, amongst the occasional hint of chilli bursting through the tomato-y goop. The salad on the side is fine, but I foolishly forgot to enquire for fries amongst mine - unopen to other argue to resample the sloppy joe on my side past times side visit.

It wouldn't locomote correct to write this identify upwards without mentioning the muffins - L.V. does an impressive attain of vegan muffins ($3.50 I think). I was powerless to resist the sour cherry selection - all sticky-sweet, sour in addition to delicious. I would cause got appreciated unopen to to a greater extent than cherries, but I mean value that would locomote truthful no thing how many were squeezed in.

World Vegan Day in addition to a few other odds in addition to ends. Everything is reasonably priced, generously portioned and, of course, vegan. Be warned: Las Vegan is only opened upwards for lunches on weekdays - in addition to hence you'll cause got to cause got a long tiffin suspension in addition to mosey inwards to Collingwood to cheque it out.
