Bonita Café and Social Club

Do expect a warm welcome at this homely all-day venue, with its raggedy wooden furniture, eclectic décor and unpretentious service. At first glance, the line-up of soups and pastas might suggest well-trodden culinary territory, but there is a thoughtful chef at work here. Vegan offerings (from a limited menu) include crispy sautéed onion rings, teriyaki burger made of tofu and onion, and raw zucchini pasta topped with unheated tomato sauce and puréed cashew cream. The fluffy whole-wheat pancakes are also highlights and the desserts, which include a rich plant-based chocolate mousse, are decent.
