• Lacking flavour...

My partner and I arrived in Romania on Easter Monday and didn't realise nearly everything is closed on Easter Monday and even so far as to be closed on Tuesday after - also confusing is that Romania celebrate Easter a week later than most countries due to being a majority Orthadox Religion (same with Bulgaria and Greece we have recently found out!). So I Facebook messaged a few veg restaurants I found to find out which were open today (Tuesday) and one was - Biofresh, so we decided to check them out for lunch. The gentleman who served us was lovely and it was definitely good service. For entree my partner and I shared the tomato bruschetta which was really tasty. I also ordered a soy cappuccino and my partner ordered the 'Fabulous' smoothie. His smoothie was pretty delicious, however my coffee was quite average. For main I ordered the sweet & sour tofu site and my partner ordered the Vegetable Kashmiri. When both dishes were served we were very impressed with the presentation. However when we started eating, both meals completely lacked flavour. I couldn't taste any sauce on either dish. The tofu in my dish was seasoned and it wasn't bad, but the rest of the dish had no flavour - and definitely not as the menu described - ginger, coriander, paprika & chilli - it had none of these flavours at all. Mine however was better than my boyfriends (I think due to the tofu). For dessert we ordered the raw orange & forest berry cheesecake which was not too bad however we weren't a huge fan of the flavour combination, however it had good texture (and I make raw cakes for the a living - texture is a huge component) - I think their other flavours would be better. It also comes out frozen so you have to wait for it to defrost. Another disappointing thing is that they say they are vegan but all their desserts and some smoothies contain honey (and some bee pollen too) so technically not vegan. The menu is huge and took us a very long time to decide, I think a smaller menu and what is on the menu b wing done really well would do the restaurant a world of good. Overall we were not impressed with the food at all and would not return.
