Sidecar

Nice atmosphere with friendly and service minded staff. Good options with non-alcoholic drinks. Ate the vegetarian set menu, with five dishes. The meal started off with two salads; a cucumber salad with (what I think was) mayo & soy sauce & a zucchini salad with pickled onions & A LOT of cheese. The cucumber salad was a great start, and the zucchini salad was an interesting combination of flavors. Next up was the fermented seaweed salad, with pickled radish & pearl peppers. Did not see it on the menu, and was quite surprised by the very sour, vinegary taste. Not really my cup of tea. The tofu dumplings came with a broth-like soy-vinegar base, and was topped with shiitake mushrooms. Well combined, but it clashed a bit with the lingering aftertaste of the previous (very) sour seaweed salad. Lastly, the tofu bun. Great crispy tofu, paired with a curry sauce and pickled vegetables. Reminded me a bit of a tofu katsu curry. Added a dessert to round up the meal. A milkbun topped with coffee cream, black sesame sauce and candied orange. It was alright.

Overall it was a nice experience. Would however enjoyed having another flavor other than vinegar/pickled, since every dish came with something sour.
