You know what I usually am given, right? If you’ve read this blog you know all about how vegans are usually given fruit sorbet, or fruit AND sorbet, at fancier restaurants. (It’s not cute.) So getting <\/span>chocolate cake covered in coconut cream was a real treat! And, it was delicious. It was served on a bed of rhubarb goop and meadowsweet, which I learned in Aussie is an herb, and it was good but I would have been fine with just the cake and cream. They did a really great job here, and maybe I’m just over-excited because it was not sorbet and it was chocolate, but still, ace. <\/p>\nDinner at Plates was lovely, and at only 40 pounddollars it’s a pretty good deal for such fanciness. The protein issue is a real issue for me, it being a vegan meal. But if you treat it like other similar non-vegan fancy places, it doesn’t disappoint. <\/p>\n
Plates, London, England, United Kingdom, Europe for right now<\/u><\/font> Water speed: <\/strong>They gave me a pitcher, and refilled it promptly every time I emptied it. I am happy. <\/span>Service: <\/strong>Nice overall. They didn’t talk too much about the food or drinks which is fine, but sometimes seemed too little.Bathrooms: <\/strong>There is one stall for men and one for women with a shared sink and it’s the tiniest sink I’ve ever seen but they were clean and nice so okay. And they had paper towels which is a nice change. I know it’s bad for the environment but sometimes I don’t want to stand for a minute at a hot air machine okay. <\/span>Food: <\/strong>Very nice, creative use of vegetables, and not enough use of protein. The menu apparently changes often so perhaps if you go it will be better.<\/span>Bonus: <\/strong>It’s really cool to have a place like this, fancy but kind of casual at the same time, with nice food for not too much money. That they only serve people once per week makes it seem very exclusive and important to catch. <\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dearly beloved, we’re gathered here to discuss East London’s relatively new fancy joint named Plates.
