The Blend - Whanganui

There are limited vegan options available at this restaurant, but unfortunately they are not well prepared. At nearly $20 a dish, the portions are small and not very tasty. The burger comes on a gluten-free bun, which shouldn't automatically make it bad, but in this case the bun was crumbly. It seems like the kitchen only bothers to make the effort for the vegan burger. The South African curry tasted like curry powder thrown into diced tomatoes and mixed with frozen vegetables. The rice was either undercooked or left out to dry, making it difficult to eat. When we provided feedback to the server, there was no follow-up from the chef. Overall, we were disappointed with the food and lack of response from the staff.

I absolutely adore their vegan gyoza dumplings! They are fantastic.

There are limited vegan options available at this restaurant, however, they are not well executed. Priced at nearly $20 per plate, the portions are small and lackluster in taste. The vegan burger served on gluten-free bread was disappointing, as the bread was stale and crumbly. The South African curry tasted like canned curry powder mixed with tomatoes and frozen vegetables. The rice was undercooked and difficult to eat. Despite providing feedback to the server, no further action was taken. We were disappointed that the chef did not come out to apologize for the subpar meal.

There are limited vegan options available at this restaurant, but unfortunately, they are not well-prepared. Each plate costs nearly $20 and offers small portions that are not tasty. The burger is served on a gluten-free bun, which should not automatically make it bad, but in this case, the bun was clearly stale and tasted like a large crouton. It appears that this bun is only provided with the vegan burger. The South African curry seemed like a mixture of curry powder, canned diced tomatoes, and frozen vegetables. The rice was either undercooked or had been left out to dry, making it difficult to eat. We provided feedback to the server, but no action was taken. We expected the chef to come and apologize, but that did not happen.
