Today was my outing to a vegetarian restaurant. Thank you Jay and Marissa for coming along!

We went to Zen Kitchen on Sommerset. Now this place wasn't only vegetarian but also vegan.

Now I really really wanted to love this place. My coworker J-Lo knows the owners and my friend Grant had great things to say about this place.

Here is my basic review: Okay

Here is my heart burn review:

I got the organic lemonade - awesome but $4.00 is a bit expensive. Are the organic lemon farm in Australia?
My lunch was mushroom and walnut burger. The patty and bun were great. The problem was the sauce. It tasted like BBQ sauce but really potent BBQ sauce. Usually I put the sauce on the burger while cooking it, not after it<s cooked. I would"ve prefered ketchup. The soup was okay. It was describe to me as a Japanese pumpkin and squash soup. I think that my butternut squash soup is sooooo good that I was disapointed with this one because it was missing cream. I know evil cream makes everything better. So that was $14.00 for a lunch - a bit pricey. Jay had the macaroni and cheese - really good and Marissa had the chickpea curry on rice - also good. Now I was looking forward to my brownie and "ice cream" for dessert. Ehhhhh, the chocolate was very bitter and the "ice cream" was not too flavorful. For $6.00 I was dissapointed. Now the menu isn't very big and they also ran out of stuff. ALSO I've had heartburn all day. As I don't really get this feeling a lot I had to call Jen and Frank to ask them if I was experiencing heart burn!! My body is rejecting healthy food!!!

I would now like to try this vegetarian restaurant:

Zen Kitchen is still worth a go but you're now informed!
