Eating Out: Ginger & Rose

I've been back to the charming Ginger & Rose a few times since my last visits. Lovely vegan options, a great atmosphere, wonderful service, plus soy ice cream instead of coconut... how can I not?

I took my best friend there for a birthday brunch earlier this year. We both got waffles, of course! Ashleigh got the strawberry waffles, which I had last time, and I decided to try the Mixed Berry for something different. Both were amazing, of course. They had made their waffles gluten free since the last time I had them, but they do not suffer from this at all! They are so delicious! With maple syrup and soy ice cream. They have since changed the menu, and with different flavours of waffles. They also only now come with one waffle, which is actually good. Ashleigh and I were so full after these double waffles we didn't eat dinner!



We also ordered some air fried chips with vegan aioli. A huge bowl! With this and the waffles, we couldn't finish all the chips. I am sorry to waste you potato!



And, of course, milkshakes. With soy ice cream. I will never not be excited about that. I had strawberry, Ashleigh had butterscotch.



I also went last month with some friends for brunch. We got smoothies, a mango passionfruit for them and a acai banana strawberry for me.



I stepped away from waffles to try a savoury option - The Big Vegan. Tempeh, not-sausage, rosti, avocado, tomato, spinach, mushrooms, and toast. It was big and satisfying, but didn't make me feel too full. I loved the tempeh a well, there is not enough tempeh on menus in Brisbane. It was piled high on the plate, so a bit hard to see everything here!



My friends got the Smashed Avocado Toast (which came with quinoa, zucchini ribbons, herb salad, and beetroot puree) and the Tortilla Bowl (quinoa, zucchini, tempeh, mushrooms, avocado and herbs). Both were enjoyed. The bowl was a bit messy to eat (the bowl being a tortilla), and my friend thought had too much parsley, but otherwise was good.





And of course I picked up a little something to take home, a peach and passionfruit muffin. So good. My friends had the banana cake, which was amazing, but I didn't get a good photo of it.



I've been back since, so look out for more posts with their delicious food!
