One Saturday Immy and I arrived at Queens Wharf an hour or so before opening time, so decided to catch the free City Link bus up to Revel on K Rd. Revel is a friendly place, we felt comfortable and welcome there. It markets itself as an environmentally conscious café, and has lots of vegetarian and vegan options. As a vegan, it’s always easier to visit an all vegan café, but given that most cafes are non-vegan, a café with so many options like Revel is a positive thing.
Since my visit, I’ve read lots of glowing reports of Revels vegan cooked breakfasts. I wasn’t after a big meal, so ordered a pasta and roasts vegetable salad which was cold but ok. There was a vegan cupcake option and most things were well labeled. I see there is wine available too, so this may be an option for dinner one time.
As a vegan, eating in a café which also sells meat and dairy is a trickier thing than eating in a vegan café. I suppose I mainly visit vegan or vegetarian cafes these days, and certainly they are the most comfortable places for me as a vegan parent to go. Revel is more part of the hip city scene than the vegan one, but that in itself I enjoy, it’s just been a long time. I would like to visit again, perhaps at different times of the day, and try some different options.
