Lokal Vegan Bistro

After months of being no more than a logo on some parchment in the window, Lokal Vegan Bistro have finally opened on Krucza across from the Mercure. Well I’m always up for some guilt-free eating to make my body feel like a temple rather than a truck stop, so why not. The interior looks a little like a New Age milk bar, the kind that’s left the design down to IKEA, but looking at the above-counter menu you soon realize there’s more to this place than meets the eye.
The first time my dining partner was my daughter, who I have to say is an expert when it comes to tomato soup: she glowed at the sight of the wriggly green worms (homemade kluski with parsley) inside this well-tuned broth. As for me, I let out a bit of a snobby sneer when I saw schabowy on the list. “Surely,” I thought, “these clowns don’t think they can pull-off a meat free impersonation of the idolized pork chop?” Yes, they can – they knocked it out of the park. While I can’t say the food is ‘meat imitation’ it was a whole lot better than some of the chops I’ve had in my time.
Returning another time I ordered the kebab. The seitan seasoning worked marvels and proved fast food doesn’t need to be junk food. While I didn’t try the desserts they too looked well worth further research which, considering the zł. 8 limitless coffee, already looks on the cards. After years of serving dull, timid dishes Warsaw’s alt. food culture, it appears, has finally found its taste buds. (KD)
