The atmosphere and service are amazing. However, the vegan options here will give the wonderful partons the wrong impression of vegan food. The way many elements are prepared remind me of how I used to make food being new to plant based cooking, and unfortunately, not in a good way. Big Feast specializes in brunch, so that's what I'll focus on. The potatoes are great and the drinks are very good. Unfortunately the plant based dishes here go to great lengths not to offend anybody. For example: there are so many ways to prepare tofu to make it egg-like, but none of these techniques are utilized. Instead, it is marinated with air, infused with less flavor than traditional plain tofu, and not given any egg-like texture. Way too little to no salt is used, monosodium glutamate is at another castle, and vegan staples like nutritional yeast are severely underutilized. Another example: there are so many ways to make vegan yolk that has the correct texture and, more importantly, packed with flavor. Big Feast has a unique way of making yolk, but it is shockingly flavorless - even lacking in something as basic as nutritional yeast. The easiest beginner way to add egg-like sulphuric aroma and taste is to add Kala Namak, which is also completely missing. I've tried several vegan items on their menu and there seems to be a general trend of healthy but surprisingly bland food. You can even use silken tofu, sodium alginate, and Kala namak as a base for a simple intermediate level spot-on 'fried egg' over olive oil. If you really want to amaze people, you could even make vegan hard-boiled eggs. A pea-protein-based sausage could also pull the whole brunch dish together while staying gluten-free. I want to one day see a great vegan restaurant in Maple Ridge that blows people off their feet with their plant-based dishes. Paliottis Westside is closer to achieving this, but sadly, there is no true vegan restaurant in Maple Ridge, so keep that in mind.

To preface this review; our group is large, loud and frequent. I used to wait tables, and can tell you our party could be considered the group you "don't want" in your section. Can't say I've ever felt that way at this De Dutch. The accommodation, speed of service and patience I've experienced from our server Khan, and the supporting staff of hostesses & servers is excellent. We've been to neighboring spots and can say the experience at De Dutch is exceptional in this area. Highly recommended. As a Celiac, I can confirm several dishes are GF and delish without reaction.
