Loving it

Loving Eden opened in Glebe in 2009, and a group of us went to try it out yesterday (or return for more, as was the case for some). It serves vegan Vietnamese food in a simple setting (the furniture and the colour of the walls reminded me a little of Peace Harmony — vegan Thai — in the city). As always with these lunches, the great company alone was worth the trip, but I think all of us also enjoyed the food. Entrees are all around the $8 mark, and mains mostly around $14 to 15.50 (one at $13.50, a few at $18, and the chef's special at $25) — a bit more than comparable places (like Peace Harmony, for instance), but we shared four entrees between eight of us and enjoyed a main dish each, threw in some coconut drinks, and paid about $23 each. The food was really fresh and tasty, and I especially liked the rice paper rolls. The mains are huge servings, and I wasn't the only one to have a bit left on my plate at the end. All in all, Loving Eden is a very worthy addition to the vegan scene in Sydney.

More details and the menu are at Urbanspoon or on Loving Eden's Facebook page.

And in case that's not enough to tempt you...
