• Separate vegan kitchen in 4 star hotel restaurant

When we visit Auckland overnight, we choose the Heritage Hotel in Wyndham St largely because of the vegan menu at Hectors Restaurant. Although it does have a general menu that includes meat, the vegan menu is separate from it and cooked in a separate kitchen. The lunch specials are interesting - a starter, a main and a dessert delivered on a tray. There a choice of three or four such vegan meals. Because of the two menus, Hector's is a food place to rendezvous with both vegan and non vegan friends. It has a comprehensive wine list and good coffee. For those staying in this hotel, the breakfast buffet is amazing. As well as a broad international buffet selection, it includes a stunning raw food vegan buffet and diners can have the run of all options. My husband is vegan and I am vegetarian, so this allows me my scrambled eggs if I want them, as well as such vegan delicacies as coconut yoghurt. The hotel itself is four star and very environmentally savvy in its practices. Updated from previous review on Tuesday September 16, 2014
