Divine Cafe and Bar — Restaurant in District of Belconnen

This "Owner" plainly, cares very little for your "dining" or outdoor experience. His greed and Confidence Artist vibe radiates from him while "you question your own expectations While wasting my time after forgetting he had asked me to come in on a Wednesday at 3pm to play for obvious reasons to be paid very little. On Sunday I shared a disgusting meal with someone who had purchased it from what I thought was the Market. No it was apparently some PAD TAI concoction, the only reason I tried to ask if he needed a guitarist, was to play in proximity to the market. His attitude was bad enough that I asked him "Is this just a long way of U trying to tell me, to go!? after forgetting, "no" he then literally took a call Infront of me, arguing with the person that he hadn't received an email then said "It wasn't my fault if it went to my junkmail".

I was really appreciative of this because Thai food has garlic and onion in it so those restaurants who accommodate for those with food intolerances/allergies are friends of mine already. The restaurant, which filled up very quickly, had a cosy, easy vibe. The owner kept his positive, chill yet efficient attitude up and has a friendly personality. It lives up to its name in food and especially the service....

The food was fine and people seemed nice but honestly, who charges $22 for veg curry and then adds an extra $4(!!!) for 4 pieces of tofu added in (=$26) when a chicken curry is only $22?? Makes no sense for vegetarians. Wont return.

In response to the reply below: Not sure why the costs of vegetables and tofu cause the increase but not chicken... Would have thought that if you needed to increase prices the vegetarian option would not overtake a meat option. If you want to attract the vegetarian market (which is a significant one), I would increase the meat prices along with the veg ones so we dont feel financially punished for our...
