Zenhouse Vegetarian Yum Cha

There are two vegetarian restaurants on Bent Street; I've only ever visited one though, and that's . It's the second one when you turn in from Rundle Street. It's a warm and cosy place, with a little water feature trickling away at the entrance and paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling. There's even a pillar within the restaurant covered in different ways you could spell 'tea' in a variety of languages. Very 'zen', if I do say so myself.

Here at Zenhouse, there are dishes for vegans as well as vegetarians, and lots of tea for everybody.

I'm not kidding. The two large shelves behind our table were lined to the top with packets of tea leaves.



Their drinks menu is separate from the main menu , and it's two big A4 pages covered in all kinds of tea - I had no idea so many varieties existed. My friends got a pot of chrysanthemum tea, which was nice. The cups they got with the pot were really small - my friend could fit it into the palm of her hand!



The creamy mushroom soup was the first to arrive at our table. Steaming hot, my friend had to wait for a bit to let it cool down. The taste was alright, though it's not as creamy as I would like. It was also a bit bland to me.



I ordered the seaweed fillet burger, which left me full and completely satisfied. The mayo in the burger is vegan by the way, so that's good. I really liked the seaweed fillet, but the amount of bread pretty much overpowered the taste of the fillet most of the time.



I notice that everything on the Western menu pretty much uses the patties that come with the burgers, and serves them with chips. The last time I came here, my partner's meal only came with one lonely patty, which was kind of disappointing. I'm glad to see that they serve two with the chips now. It's not worth it at all, otherwise. The sizzling hot plate noodles I had back then were tasty though.

While the food is pretty average, Zenhouse has a nice atmosphere, and I'm tempted to come back again one day to try their lunch specials. Check it out if you're looking for new vegetarian restaurants, or if you're a big fan of tea.
