During out trip to Edmonton last May, it was getting pretty late but we were craving some good…read morevegan food and drinks.....thankfully The Buckingham (@thebuckonwhyte ) on the eclectic Whyte Avenue .. was open for the save! Their food is 100% vegan, what you might expect to find in a diner or bar, decadent and hearty hearty hearty! If you want healthy, they do have three salad options to choose from. We went with the Buffalo Mac'n'Cheese, Poutine, Chkn Wings and ....oh my ... Deep Fried Oreos. We don't really have vegan Poutine options here in Seattle (if you know of any, please do drop a note in the comments section letting me know where) so it's always a treat going to Canada and comparing the various Poutine options as pretty much every vegan place has their own take. If you haven't been to visit yet, you owe it to yourself to try them out. If you find yourself visiting Edmonton, make a point to visit Whyte Avenue and walk up and down the strip checking out all of the store and most definitely, including The Buckingham in your visit.

After arriving at open (11am on a Saturday), it too servers about 15 minutes to take our order and another 20 minutes to get our coffees. Other than that, the food was pretty decent.

My wife got the Mosaics scramble--tofu scramble, with vegan sausage, potatoes, and sourdough bread. Both pretty tasty. All in all, this would be a 4/5 with improved service.

It is a lovely atmosphere to catch up with friends. Our server was polite and well mannered. They have a great lunch deal as well. I went with the Spicy Eggplant with coconut rice - Chinese eggplant quartered and stir-fried in a sweet and savory chili sauce. My friend chose this as well. We also started with the Roti Canai -Grilled Indonesian flatbread served with a curry dipping sauce. This is my favourite dish on the menu. I usually order this. Both dishes were excellent and fresh. I love the flakey roti and the dipping sauce has the right amount of curry in it. The eggplant was tasty as well and perfectly cooked. It came with rice (we chose coconut rice for an extra dollar) and a spring roll. The spring roll was crunchy and filled with veggies. All together a great meal.

We got a bunch of entrees, I honestly can't remember every single thing we got but it all tasted delicious. We ordered the Lemon Chicken Prawns, Crispy Chicken Strips, the Curry Chicken, Dendeng, and a noodle dish that I forgot the name of. I really liked how everything was served family style. Everything I tasted was a hit. I loved the crisp and texture of the Chicken Strips, as well as the Lemon Chicken Prawns. The Curry Chicken was flavorful, creamy, and had a little kick from the spice but it was great. The Dendeng was great too, loved the sauce that covered it. I'm also really impressed by the different veggie meats they used in all of the dishes, they all tasted good. Service was fast and all the servers were so thoughtful and accommodating. We also met the owner and he was so kind. We had a good time at the end getting to know each other. From our time here, we were met with very down to earth people here. I'll have to come back and try their buffet next time. Thank you for taking care of us! We loved it, consider us lifetime fans!

Food came out quickly despite the full restaurant. This time I tried The Pyro with habanero cream cheese, bacon, crispy onions, jalapeños, and chipotle mayo. Hubby ordered The Critic - smoked cheddar, bacon, caramelized onions, and bbq sauce Our friend ordered The Scout - jack cheese, chimichurri, crispy onions, avocado, and roasted garlic mayo We all chose the fries as a side. It was delicous. And this time the fries were great and not soggy. My burger was delicious. If you like heat, this one is for you. Both other people at the table enjoyed their burger as well. I saw someone have the mac and cheese, and that looked delicous. However I don't think I can skip the burger and order something else.

I stumbled upon Mirepoix Trio, a monthly collaboration between three vegan chefs, via a post on…read moreCity and Dale. I'm not vegan, but if there's a vegan option on a menu, I have this urge to try it. With my latest vegan eats, (donuts included!) I've had some pretty good experiences thus far. So why not try their monthly pop-up? Held at The Clever Rabbit, neighbor to Duchess Bakery on 124 St, Mirepoix Trio held two seatings: 6pm and 9pm. A $45- six course menu was already set for diners, and with the theme of "Without a Fork", the small plates were served tapas style and, of course, without forks. I managed to grab a reservation for Jody and I after a cancellation. We started with a trio of soup: beet, avocado, and cucumber. Adam, one of the three chefs, introduced the first course to the room of twenty or so guests. Thank goodness he did, as these were not just simple soups. The avocado shooter (pictured right) was my first, garnished with cilantro. A strong spice came through, what Jody and I agreed to be cumin and it reminded us of guacamole! Yum! My second, the beet soup (pictured center) was garnished with dill, was not overly "beet-y", a flavor which I actually dislike. Whatever they made it with, it was just the right amount of sweetness and showcased the beets really well. Lastly, the cucumber soup (pictured left). You'd think the cucumber shooter would be refreshing, perhaps a palate cleanser of sorts, and this is where I really thank Adam for coming out and letting us know that it was a mixture of cucumber and chili, garnished with a mint leaf. Ohhhh boy, there was chili already. Enough heat to make you take a good swig of water right after! Overall, a good trio, although all three had a pretty thick consistency which made it hard to drink out of the glasses. I even witnessed a table neighboring us watering down the soup with water in order to clean it out! Perhaps a slightly thinner consistency would have worked better with the glasses, or else amuse-bouche tasting spoons would have been more appropriate. Next was a plate of two mini 'slaw tacos, presented to us by Rylan. The menu called for a Kimchi coleslaw, and although it packed some heat, it was definitely not Kimchi heat. The mushroom "meat" was well done and in combination with corn, red peppers, and an avocado aioli, the dish was presented beautifully. One of the better dishes of the night! Jade, third of the trio (she's so cute!), presented the third dish: a vegan take on nigiri sushi, featuring cauliflower rice. This was completely intriguing although it ended up being one of the least favorite dishes for both Jody and I. The rice did not hold its shape well so it was a bit harder to dip in the soy sauce, and I really did not like my bite of shallot! A cute concept, although perhaps a maki roll or temaki cone would have provided a better vehicle. Jade introduced the fourth course, a stuffed onigiri, inspired by her three-week trip to Thailand with her sister. The rice was well made and held its shape nicely, unlike the prior course. One was stuffed with a green pea ginger mixture, which was my favorite of the two. The other, a sesame mushroom, although the sesame flavor didn't shine through as much as the mushrooms and onions. Last savory dish was a take on Philly cheesesteak, and one that I was looking forward to. Seitan beef was a new terminology to me. Seitan is actually a food product of gluten, the main protein in wheat. When cooked, it creates a stringy, chewier texture than it's soy-based meat alternative, and thus gives the taste and texture of meat. The mini sandwiches were delicious! And if nobody had told me it was vegan, it could have very well pulled off to be a Philly cheesesteak sandwich! The cheese sauce was also vegan, although they didn't specify how so. I can only guess of cashew creams that other vegan restaurants create, but either way, it worked! Dessert for the night was a duo of chocolate shots. White chocolate shot glass with a mango filling, dashed with black pepper and a dark chocolate shot glass with a whiskey and raspberry filling. The dark chocolate was a clear winner as the black pepper and mango combination was a bit odd and the white chocolate didn't seem to have frozen well, with a chalk-ish texture. The raspberry filling was delicious and a great combination! Although no forks were available throughout the night, the dessert did come out with a spoon! For $45 per person, it's a bit steep. Definitely nothing out of the blue for a pop-up though, as most are at this price range. The trio's efforts are highly commendable, thinking of unique and clever vegan dishes for their monthly dinners. The tacos and the Philly cheesesteak were my favorites for the night. Since each monthly dinner is different, I can't vouch for the next event but it was a great experience overall, and I would recommend it to those who are more adventurous and enjoy pop-up events!

We were there for Feed the Soul week, so I am not sure if the portions were small because of…read morefeatures being cheaper then the menu or not but it looses a couple of stars because the arepas were tiny...and I mean tiny. The deal was for 10 bucks you got an arepa but the thing was less then a hockey puck in size. We chose two - the pulled pork, and the beef. The pulled pork definately packed more flavour. And it was just meat with the bun...no veggies or cheese. I really think if they were less cheap adding those things would have made it more satisfying. I also ordered the yucca fries which were excellent. They were perfectly cooked and plump and because they weren't on the special menu they were plentiful. They came with a mojito dip which was zippy and tasty. Service was nothing great. They barely came to service us and see how we are doing/ It is cute inside , but not comfortable for sitting. Although there were a lot of interesting things on the menu I doubt that my husband and I will be back. Based on the service and the skimpy portions it isn't really worth giving a second chance.
