• Good vegan options

Beat Street was a lucky find in Christchurch. The options for vegans are pretty limited in this city. Beat Street serves meat, but they try to offer more sustainable choices. They always have a few vegan options in their "ready made" section. I got a piece of vegan pizza which was really unique (lots of veggies and beans as well,) to-go, so it was cold when I ate it and it was still really good. Would have been great if it was hot. I also got the vegan "pie" which had an indian flavor with garbanzo's and curry. It was tasty as well. I also got a nice hot Chai tea with soy milk and a vegan brownie, which were both awesome. Their vegan choices change regularly, but I imagine they will all be good. Fun atmosphere and friendly staff. Free wi-fi with the requested code. The only think negative I can say is that the vegan options must change daily. I first visited in the evening, after having just had an early dinner elsewhere. They had an amazing huge multilayered vegan casserole type thing, with tons of veggies, pesto, and a garlic aioli. The young man behind the counter said it was awesome. But since I'd just eaten, I said I would return the next day to get that. But when I arrived the next day it was gone! (Even though they were almost closing when I was there the prior day.) So if you see something you like, get it for take-away! It will probably be gone the next day.
