A haven for plant-based dining

On our recent visit to Wild Root Kitchen, a haven for plant-based dining, we had the pleasure of indulging in a delightful range of dishes showcasing the restaurant's creativity and commitment to wholesome, sustainable cuisine. Here’s a breakdown of our experience!



The Meal

  • The Wild Full Breakfast: an explosion of flavours and textures. The hearty combination of ingredients provided the perfect balance of savoury satisfaction and nourishing comfort. Scrambled tofu, smoky beans, breakfast potatoes, juicy garlic mushrooms, vine tomatoes, a moreish house hummus, spinach and delicious pesto sourdough.

  • Super Green Protein Omelette: Packed with vibrant greens and a fantastic source of plant-based protein, this omelette was light, fresh, and bursting with flavour. The sticky tamari sauteed veggies, pea-shoots and sesame seeds piled on top were beyond tasty! Yes, please.

  • Maple Banana Bread: A sweet (and very beautifully presented!) treat to round out the meal. The moist texture and subtle maple notes made it an indulgent yet wholesome choice. We were both full but just had to finish this!

  • Beetroot Latte: A visually stunning drink with earthy undertones. Its creamy consistency and unique flavour profile were a lovely accompaniment to the meal. We would order this again!

  • Orange Hot Chocolate: This comforting beverage was a highlight, with the citrus adding a zesty twist to the rich chocolate base. Loved the festive touch with the dehydrated orange slice, too.



The Shop

We couldn’t resist taking a piece of Wild Root Kitchen home with us! Their shop offers a variety of artisanal home-made products, and we picked up:

 

  • Kimchi: Tangy and perfectly fermented, it’s an ideal side or condiment to enhance any meal and later that evening we added it to our dinner plate.

  • Sauerkraut: Crisp and refreshing, this probiotic-rich item is a testament to their dedication to quality! We also had this later on at home.

  • Truffle & Charcoal Cashew Cheese: Creamy, indulgent and scrumptious - this dairy-free alternative was a standout purchase and an exciting addition to our fridge.

  • Champagne Casis Kombucha: This was popped open immediately upon purchasing and guzzled with appreciation! White tea blended with black and red currants, lemongrass and delicate flowers. Loved it!



The warm and welcoming atmosphere made the experience all the more enjoyable. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and happy to guide us through their offerings and answer questions about ingredients and preparation. Moreover, it’s dog friendly too!



Wild Root Kitchen combines innovation with sustainability, offering dishes that are as delightful to the palate as they are nourishing to the body. Whether you’re dining in or picking up some of their shop's unique items, it’s a culinary experience that leaves a lasting impression. We'll certainly be back to explore more of their menu and shop items!
