I came to Wild & the Moon with two friends: one is pescetarian and increasingly vegetarian, I am flexitarian transitioning to pescetarianism, and our third friend is omnivore.
We were curious to try this 100% vegan restaurant, but the experience was frankly disappointing.
I had the Bo Bun “Chicken”… and I didn’t understand.
The dish was cold, straight from the fridge, and tiny.
A cold bo bun is a first for me and not in a good way.
It looked more like a salad than a hot, hearty dish.
However, I was sure I asked for a bo bun.
It had a bit of flavor, peanuts, sauce, fresh vegetables, konjac noodles, it was fresh, and the fake meat was okay, but there were barely three mini pieces.
Such a light portion at that price is incomprehensible. €9.90.
If it was hot and with a little more pep, yes. But definitely not cold. I also love coriander but why put on a coriander salad? It was too much, as if it were to compensate for a lack of taste.
My friends chose the vegan burgers. Same observation: tiny burgers, Charal-style vacuum-packed product.
The plant-based meat had a good texture, the gluten-free bread did too, but it was saturated with sauce to mask the lack of toppings. Again, disappointing for such a high price. €12.90!!!!
The setting is nevertheless charming: plants, a pleasant atmosphere, and a large space… unfortunately empty. And given the quality/price, we understand why.
We also noticed that the electrical outlets were not working. None. For such a large place, it's frankly pointless to have them if they serve no purpose.
If you want to convince people to open up to plant-based cooking, you have to put a little more heart into it.
At these prices, we expect cuisine, taste, heat, not cold dishes straight from the fridge.
I could never recommend this restaurant to an omnivorous friend: they would laugh at me.
For €12.90 you know what burgers made with real beef look like.
Bigger, more generous, everything is frankly better.
If you did the same thing without real meat there would be something to want to try but for an ultra small portion it is of too little interest.
We were all hugely disappointed, me first.
The staff is quite pleasant, there is potential but really zero, zero, zero!! effort, it’s too bad.
