Mood Swing - New Westminster

This charming little restaurant has delicious vegan options, but the service was so slow that we were only able to get ONE drink in over 2 hours.

I was eager to visit this restaurant but was disappointed to find out that they are no longer completely plant-based and that some of their cocktails are very strong. I had a hard time enjoying my meal, especially since they offer a dairy-free alternative to butter but still have it on the menu. The symbol indicating dairy products on the menu is small and hard to see in low lighting, making it difficult to read the menu without using a phone flashlight.

I hope they eventually extend their operating hours. The cocktails were creative and delicious. They use aquafaba in their whiskey sour-like drinks and had a unique, yet tasty, twist on a grasshopper with oat milk. As for food, we tried the mushroom tacos and polenta, both of which were delicious.

I hope the restaurant expands their hours soon. The cocktails were creative and tasty. They use aquafaba for their whisky sour cocktails and had an interesting but delicious take on a grasshopper with milk. For food, we tried the mushroom tacos and polenta, both of which were delicious.
