• An ok experience

We got to Vantra on a quiet evening around 5:45pm. When we entered there were about 4 staff members milling around but no one actively engaged us. We had to actually ask what the set up was and how to get a plate. We were told that we had 15mins until the buffet increased in price. With that in mind we were given cardboard plates and headed for the buffet. The buffet was extensive and was laid out in front of the window. There was a strict policy of a one plate limit per customer so I began piling a little of everything on to the plate to try it all. The buffet was laid out with salads and cold dishes on one end, with hot dishes at the other. While all the dishes were ok, there was nothing outstanding on offer. Most of the hot food dishes tasted very similar to each other and the salads were mildly tasty with just a hint of them not being as fresh as they could have been. I feel Vantra has the makings of a great vegan restaurant. However, it seems in need of a little refinement, better service and a need to focus more on quality and not quantity. Having said this, it certainly stands as a good vegan lunch option if you're shopping in the West End.
