Lava Glass - Taupo

I appreciate that they offer three options on their menu. We tried the burger and the bowl. The charcoal Burger-Back was tough and pricey, especially since it doesn't come with any side dishes like chips.

Surprisingly, there were several vegan options available at this restaurant that I had not previously checked out. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu, and the food was served promptly. The price of $25 for a salad bowl seemed a bit high, but not unexpected for a restaurant located in a more rural area.

It's commendable that they offer three options on their menu. We tried the burger and the bowl, but we were not really impressed. The charcoal burger bun was quite chewy and we felt it was overpriced considering it did not come with any complimentary chips or side dish.

I was pleasantly surprised to find several vegan options at HC, as I hadn't checked the menu beforehand. The staff was knowledgeable and the food was served promptly. While $25 seemed a bit high for a salad bowl, it wasn't unexpected for a restaurant located out of town. Overall, a good experience.

I ordered the vegan blueberry buckwheat pancakes and they were incredibly delicious and fluffy! The blueberries and whipped vanilla bean coconut cream made for a fantastic combination that left my taste buds very satisfied. The portion size was perfect, even for my big appetite. My boyfriend had the vegetarian scrambled eggs on ciabatta and he enjoyed it as well. We would definitely go back again.
