Suncraft

Suncraft is a plant-based/vegan restaurant or cafe type place on Gloucester Road in Bristol England. I've visited it once so far and plan to do so again. I found the staff helpful and like the fact they produce as much as they can themselves. They have a UV and irrigation system for growing mint and herbs (sadly they don't have it outside) and they make their own juices, ice cream and teas. There's also a machine to get some filtered water. They ask for a 20p donation which goes to water aid. I wonder how much they make from that in a day. Probably a good few pounds I should think. As far as food goes, I had a side dish which I thought was kind of small but that's just personal preference I guess, a main course, a desert and a drink. For all of that I payed under £20. The side dish was some potato cakes. I hadn't had potato cakes in years, so it was good to finally get some that were vegan. I can't spell the name of the main course, but it was a Chinese type dish that had tofu, mushrooms, brown rice and another vegetable and probably some herbs. I thought the flavors blended together nicely. I normally steer away from things like tofu, but when it's cooked properly I think it can be not too bad, although it's not my favorite thing in the world. For desert I had banana frittas with salted date ice cream. Don't know if I would have added the ice cream, but it was certainly an interesting taste. I liked both the frittas and the ice cream, but not entirely sure if I would have put the together. I can't remember what else was in the drink I had, but I do know it had beetroot juice in it. On the counter were some cards advertizing an animal rights protest. They had the date and time, but totally missed off where it will be taking place.
