Michael as well as I stumbled on Cafe la Terra during our Monday wanderings, noticing the give-and-take 'vegetarian' featuring prominently on their signage as well as a bill of fare of inexpensive Vietnamese meals stuck to the window. We stopped yesteryear for a repast the next evening, refueling betwixt bands at what volition in all probability larn downward equally our gig of the twelvemonth (sorry, Pulp) - the reformation of Snout, inward accolade of the Tote's 30th as well as Wally Meanie's 44th birthdays.
Contrary to our initial impression, Cafe la Terra is neither 100% vegetarian nor 100% Vietnamese. There's equally good a substantial listing of breakfast-themed sandwiches, simply about of which comprise meat. The dejeuner as well as dinner bill of fare looks meatless (and largely vegan-friendly); Vietnamese trend meals as well as drinks characteristic prominently but give means to pasta dishes as well as milkshakes farther down. Nothing costs to a greater extent than than $10.50, as well as at $4.50 each our kokosnoot juices nigh seemed expensive.
I started out amongst a samosa ($3), handmade as well as stuffed amongst tender vegetables.
Michael shied away from the 'tofu soil as well as steam rice', which is cooked inward Napoli sauce, as well as ordered the curry vegetables as well as rice ($9.50). It was uncomplicated as well as hearty.
Having done a footling blog research during the day, I chose the steamed saltation rolls ($6.50) as well as was actually impressed. The veges were cooked perfectly, soft but non squidgy, all of them retaining their distinct flavours. With a footling sugariness soy sauce poured over, I didn't spare a idea for their supposedly-tastier deep-fried cousins.
Eating at Cafe la Terra is nigh similar visiting a welcoming stranger's home. The dining surface area felt similar a cluttered loungeroom, the nutrient was minor but tasty, as well as the staff were lovely.
