Eating Out: Greenhouse South Brisbane

Following on from my last post, I though I'd do a post about a dinner I had awhile ago at Greenhouse in South Brisbane. As well as being 100% vegan, Greenhouse is also 100% gluten free. But even for gluten-full gluten lovers like myself, the food is amazing. The menu had changed a bit since my last epic visit, and I forgot to take a photo of the new menu (which I cannot find online at present), so I will try to remember things the best I can! The photos are a little weird as something about the lighting makes everything look murky green! And, as always, they love their pea sprout garnishes!

I went with my parents, and we all ordered some drinks. Ginger Kombucha for me, Blueberry Kombucha for my dad, and a hot chocolate for my mum. We also started with some deep fried fondue. This was so tasty! It wasn't as runny in the middle as you'd expect, but the flavour was awesome. Three pieces shared between three people was perfect, a it was quite a rich little entree.

My mum had the Grazing Board, which was a huge platter covered in dips, cheeses, fritters, salad, fruit, corn chips, crackers, and a pumpkin wedge. Delicious, but huge.

I had the Miso Maple Pumpkin, which was a big wedge of roasted pumpkin and broccoli, topped with rice noodles and a delicious miso maple sauce.

My dad ordered the Beetroot Burger. This had mushroom 'buns', beetroot and quinoa patty, avocado, brie, sweet potato, and crispy kale. He said it was one of the best meals he's ever had, vegan or otherwise!

We finished off with some pavlovas. Aquafaba magic pavlova shells, cashew cream (which did have a little bit of coconut cream in it, I asked, but it was not overpowering), and fruit. Such a lovely end to a wonderful meal!

    1. I definitely want to go back and get the burger. I also saw them recently advertise some sort of eggplant parma being added to the menu, so I want that too! I really need to get back there soon.

    1. Miso and Maple just go so well together! It was a really satisfying dinner, though also not super heavy.
