  • Not 100% Vegetarian! Grrrrrrrrrr

My husband and I went here on Saturday for lunch, excited about the menu. We saw fish & chips on the menu and both ordered it, not giving it a second thought because we've had vegan fish & chips at other places. We started eating it and though, hmm, this is a pretty decent mock fish. My husband kept saying that it must be real fish, but I dismissed him because it was listed here as vegetarian, and said vegan/vegetarian food right in the door. Low and behold, I was waiting to buy a smoothie for the road, and my husband decided to ask if it was real fish, to which the server said yes, as they have two fish dishes on the menu. He asked how we were supposed to know it was real fish when everything else, currywurst, bratwurst, etc, were all vegan. She apologized, but it's a bit late once the food has been eaten. I have been vegetarian for about 22 years now, so it was not the start to our holiday weekend that I was imagining. Obviously I didn't die, but even more concerning would be if someone with a fish allergy would have ordered it or anything that would have been cooked in the same oil, as a lot of people with fish allergies will go to vegetarian restaurants in order to avoid food coming into contact with fish. That being said, I have no problem eating at places that are not completely veggie when I know that that is the case, because I can then ask and be sure of what I am ordering. Everything that is veggie on the menu looks good, they even have vegan Australian pies, and lots of nice desserts. The smoothies are a bit expensive. They bottle them themselves, but €3.50 for 247ml that is not freshly made is a bit much. There is also outside seating and lots of space for kids. I just can't write a good review because I'm so upset that I ate fish when I would never choose to do so.
