Restaurant Review: The RootMaster!

It is with great pleasure that I write about one of the most adorable restaurants I have ever been to: Rootmaster. It is a restaurant inside one of the iconic red Double Decker buses of London. The cooking happens downstairs and the eating happens upstairs. Not only is the venue special, but it is also a vegan restaurant. And do you know what the best thing about it is? You would never know it was a vegan restaurant if they didn't tell you.

The menu is so amazing and diverse, you don't miss the meat and dairy at all! The first time I went, I had an Asparagus and Tomato tart for the main course and chocolate cake for dessert. The second time, I had Aubergine Kofta for the main course accompanied by some amazing Organic Jas D'esclan Rose wine (For the non-initiated into the UK version of English, Aubergine is Eggplant). I abstained from dessert, but the wine more than made up for it.

It was absolutely the best rose I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. Striking a delicate balance between sweet and dry, with a mouth-watering aroma and a very pleasant and light aftertaste. My favorite of the two main courses I have tried is the Asparagus and Tomato tart. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, the pastry had the right sort of crunch to it, and the sauce brought together the entire dish. For the next dinner, I have my eye on the pizza made with spelt dough.

The first night I dined there, it was pouring outside. The bus, however, was warm with pleasant conversion and soft candlelight. Talk about atmosphere...It is definitely a great place for a date! The restaurant can be found at Elys Yard, The Old Truman Brewery, 15 Hansbury Street, London E1 6QR. T: +44 (0)7912 389 314.
