"Excellent place - make it a regular."   My Rating
3 mrtofu	Posted on: Wednesday, July 15, 2009
	Review: My girlfriend and I used to visit this place most weekends when we lived close. The heading on the menu used to be "vegetarian, multicultural, eclectic" - which sums it up nicely. From the very satisfying big breakfasts (adding seasoned chats is essential... maybe even go a double serve) to the one-of-a-kind chai (you get almost 3 cups to a pot!), you really need to go back a few times to try various things on the menu. It can sometimes be tough to get a table, and the service isn't always quick. You tend not to be rushed, though, which is nice. The place was closed due to fire(!) in early 2009 - great to see that it's back up and running again! A Glebe institution.   Pros: Excellent, varied vegetarian food * Well priced * Cool atmosphere and decor Cons: Popularity means seating difficulties * *

"They need vegan dessert options"   My Rating
10 InJessT	Posted on: Wednesday, June 24, 2009
	Review: I never used to like this place, but I've come around. I get either the tofu burger with satay sauce or the nachos without cheese or sour cream. There's a couple of other vegan options. It sucks there's no vegan desserts, although I'm usually too full anyway. They do a soy hot carob which is vegan.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Great for breakfast"   My Rating
28 thelink	Posted on: Thursday, January 08, 2009
	Review: We really love to go to Badde Manors for breakfast on the weekend. The coffee is nice and strong and the "Big vegan breakfast" IS big, and also delicious. Beside the "big" brekkie, there are a few other vegan breakfast choices, such as vegan scrambled tofu. I agree with VeJo that otherwise the choices aren't great for vegans and I am too absolutely amazed about the fact that NONE of the about 20 cakes/ tarts / strudels are vegan. What a shame!!! Get those vegan cake recipies out Baddes!   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Not bad, not great"   My Rating

	Review: Badde Manors has obviously been around a long time - it's an old style vegetarian café, with slim pickings for the vegan diner. The food was fair, but not as good as we could do at home. My feeling was that it's a restaurant that's stuck in a rut, and needs to get a bit more in touch with the more sophisticated veg*n clientelle that has emerged post 1985. No desserts suitable for vegans? Outrageous! Only a few, very simple and outmoded mains available for vegans, as well, which makes you wonder why bother going to a veg restaurant then in the first place, if the choices are not so much better than a regular meat place. The service was good, and the atmosphere is pleasant.   Pros: nice atmosphere * service prompt and polite * Cons: boring food * not many vegan options * not liscenced

The waitress rolled her eyes when we said we were vegans, and didn't really understand what a vegan does and doesn't eat ("oh, so you don't eat honey either?"). I didn't feel like modified nachos (which would have been chips and beans) or a bland tofu burger (that's what my husband had), so I opted for a veganised pasta from the specials board. Plain fettucini with avocado and some bits of asparagus. Really, really bland. And, again, I've had better at non-veg restaurants. Badde Manors really need to start making an effort for their vegan clientelle.. response by VeJo - report abuse -

"Badde Manors.. Glebe"   My Rating

	Review: I really like this place, and have been many times. They seem to be always open, the food is excellent, with loads of vegan stuff. Try the tofu burger.. The coffee is good too. Can be crowded and noisy. Tables turn over pretty quick though.   Pros: food * coffee * service Cons: busy * cramped *
