V-Rating: Super V Soul Mama is the vegetarian restaurant which I take all my interstate and international visitors to when they come to Melbourne. It is a consistent and reliable winner with my carnivorous family members who find themselves surprised and delighted by the range of food on offer, the groovy young things who wait at table with headsets and palm pilots and the spectacular views of Port Phillip bay. Even my eldest sister, a diehard meat eater, entered the spirit of the “world peace and don’t eat meat” vibe of the place exuded by the randomly scattered buddha statues and even laughed at some of the famous veggo-quotes on the menu. This is a real triumph for me, after years of missing the mark taking them to cafes up and down the east coast which have done more for the success of late night hotel room service than the reputation of vegetarianism amongst my clan. Soul Mama offers a buffet for which you can choose different sized plates and up to 4 different hot courses or salads. The style of food on the menu ranges from Italian (field mushrooms in a napoli sauce and polenta) to Asian (one of my favourites is the Asian salad, involving beanshoots, cabbage and a nutty sauce). The restaurant keeps the costs down because of the buffet arrangement, so a medium plate (3 different dishes) is a low $14. The food is not necessarily the best vegetarian fare you will ever eat, but it is definitely tasty and there is enough variety to suit everyone in your group. It is a crowd pleaser for you and your non-veggo guests. Rating : Super V |
