A Taste of Heaven (Tulse Hill, London)

I have been meaning to blog about this place for a while. I was so excited to hear of this new restaurant opening as I literally live about a 10 minute walk away. I had picked up a menu on my way past one day and had been salivating ever since. A few weeks ago I had my friend Jen staying (which I think I have mentioned in a previous post) and for a weekend treat we decided to have breakfast there.
We were immediately greeted by friendly staff and chose a seat by the window (we did have the full choice seeing as no one else was there!).  I pretty much knew I wanted the full vegan breakfast before I arrived and when we got there Jen decided on the same. It came with sausages, grilled tomatoes, sauteed potatoes, mushrooms with a light covering of a creamy sauce, baked beans and toast. You also get a hot drink. The food was yummy! It was not very greasy- a good thing and I was very glad it wasn't fried bread as I always feel sick after that. I have got to admit it wasn't my top vegan breakfast ever but it was still good and being a new restaurant it may improve even further. With my drink I branched out a bit and got hot carob. I've got to admit I was not a fan. I love hot chocolate and I definitely have a bit of a sweet tooth so it just didn't quite hit the spot for me.
One of the best features of the restaurant though is the absolutely lovely staff. There were just two there when we went- a guy who was quite obviously new as he had to relay all our questions back, and a woman who I presume is an owner as she asked us how we'd heard about the restaurant and we had a good chat.

I would recommend going here definitely. There is still a lot on the menu to explore yet- I particularly want to try the carrot cake and bakewell tart and it would be nice to have dinner there sometime. It would be really nice to get people knowing about this place as I do think more custom would help. It is a little off the map and that's why I think it struggles a bit but with people spreading the word I am sure it will become a thriving business.
