Beiderbeckes Bistro

Earlier in the month my parents came to stay for the weekend and asked us to book dinner at the last minute, we tried a few places on our 'list' (yes, we do have a growing list of places we hear have vegan options to try!) and ended up with a table at Beiderbeckes in Hawkhill for the Saturday night.

Beiderbeckes Bistro has quite a retro feel, with eclectic decor and cosy lighting. It did feel a little odd being in what felt like a night-time environment on such a sunny evening as we almost expected it to be dark when we left! There is a separate section on the menu with four vegan options as mains, I had 'Brooklyn Heights' and David ordered 'Coral Bay'. Brooklyn Heights was a grilled veggie patty topped with peppers and mushrooms in BBQ sauce, which came with chips, salad and onion rings, for me it was a lot of food! I do kind of wish I'd had what David had once I saw it - a sweet and sour stir fry which also came with lots on the side. We did all enjoy our meals, and would easily describe the menu as comfort food!

We did ask a few questions about cocktail ingredients and dessert options which the staff had to check for us but were very friendly and happy to help answer. The cocktails were good value and we had some very summery One O'Clock Jump (like a Pina Colada) and Midnight in Paris to share. Dessert on the other hand was just sorbet which was a shame as the non vegan options sounded a lot more exciting. It'd be great to see one of them veganised in future!
