Vintaged Bar and Grill Has Gone Vegan-Friendly

If you're a Brisbanite who prefers a vegan diet, then you might want to stop by Vintaged Bar and Grill. We're well aware that the inner-city restaurant is best known for its steak and burger-heavy selections, but they're now offering up something special for non-carnivorous diners too.

Yes, much to the delight of herbivores looking for a fancy meal, the Hilton's signature eatery has expanded their remit. Animal product-free entrees, mains and desserts are now available — and three of each, in fact — from their just-released dedicated vegan menu.

First up, you can feast on beef tomato filled with tomato concasse, truffled white polenta and exotic mushrooms, or miso roasted eggplant with toasted sushi rice. Follow that up with chana masala, brick pastry vegetable roulade, or 12-grain and pulse cauliflower risotto, and then top it all off with a chocolate berry whip with berry snow, apple and rhubarb crumble with cinnamon sorbet, or coconut rice pudding with mango and minted tapioca salsa. And here we were thinking that meat-focused restaurants and vegans didn't mix.

Whether you make a three-course dinner out of it, or just stop by for one dish, the new offerings help solve a problem all vegans will be all too familiar with. Getting dragged to a place that specialises in big slabs of flesh and finding the meat-free offerings a wasteland of 'sad salad' is now a thing of the past. About time, really.
