A vegetarian degustation for Phil's birthday

For Phil's birthday, we decided to try somewhere new. We booked a table at Sarah's Cafe at Where Inn. It was on cute little Leigh street in the city. The menu changed everyday, the chef sourced whatever was freshest and created dishes around the produce. A degustation meal was what we had in mind and it did not disappoint. We had told them previously of our allergies (chicken, tuna and chocolate!) however when we arrived they informed us that they were actually a vegetarian cafe! A vegetarian degustation was new to us, especially since we won't find out what we are going to eat until the food was served. The element of surprise was part of the fun!


The dishes were not overly fancy, but very tasty and wholesome. They were not small portions either, which I expected from a degustation. After all there are a LOT of courses to get through!

The ambience was interesting, with blue neon lights, I kind of felt like we were in a bar or club. It was very spacious and the chairs reminded me of the wide chairs you would have in an office meeting room! The service was wonderful and I had a very relaxing time.

My favourite was the passionfruit and lavender tart for dessert!

I would definitely recommend it!
