SUNDAY C&C BAKERY — Restaurant in New York

Review for Sunday C&C Eatery, 348 Bowery, NYC

As an uneducated omnivorous eater (and yes, stereotipically biased as well) i was looking to challenge my beliefs about how boring strict vegan diets could be, when I stumbled upon the perfect place to do just that during my last trip to Manhattan. With an unwavering commitment to fresh, crisp, and delicious flavors, I am absolutely delighted to share my experience at Sunday C&C Eatery, located at 348 Bowery, NYC. This street kiosk, run by the incredibly talented chef Chris Torres, offers a vegan culinary adventure that is nothing short of outstanding.

From the moment I approached the kiosk, I was struck by the meticulous cleanliness and the inviting, vibrant atmosphere. The attention to detail in both the presentation and the service is immediately apparent. The staff’s knowledge and understanding of vegan dietary needs and lifestyle are exceptional, ensuring that every guest feels understood and valued.

Chef Chris Torres Meeting Chef Chris Torres was a highlight. His passion for vegan cuisine shines through in every dish he creates. The boxes of fresh, locally sourced mushrooms he proudly displayed are a testament to his commitment to using the highest quality ingredients.

Vegan Chicken Platter The Vegan Chicken Platter is a masterpiece. The 'chicken' is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, bursting with flavors that are both familiar and excitingly new. The accompaniments, including perfectly cooked rice and fresh, crunchy onions, complement the dish beautifully, making each bite a joy.

Yuba Skewer in Tamarind Sabayon Sauce The Yuba Skewer in Tamarind Sabayon sauce is a revelation. The yuba is grilled to perfection, with a delightful texture that pairs exquisitely with the rich, tangy tamarind sabayon sauce. The freshness of the cilantro garnish adds a bright, herbaceous note that elevates the entire dish.

Arroz Pegado The Arroz Pegado, featured in the accompanying picture, is a stunning example of fusion cuisine at its finest. This dish seamlessly blends traditional Latin, Colombian, Peruvian, and Asian influences, resulting in a harmonious explosion of flavors. The crispy rice base, topped with seared maitake mushrooms, kimchi jjigae cream, and leek jam, is both visually appealing and utterly delicious. The vibrant herbs and sauce bring the dish together, showcasing the eatery’s commitment to innovative and mouth-watering vegan creations.

Pudin de Pan The Pudin de Pan, a strictly vegan dessert, is a delightful conclusion to an exceptional meal. This flan-like creation made from coconut milk and brioche, with a topping of sesame whipped cream and toasted quinoa, is both creamy and rich, with a perfect balance of sweetness. The toasted quinoa adds a pleasant crunch, making each bite a delightful experience.

The promptness of service at Sunday C&C Eatery is noteworthy. Despite the bustling environment, the staff manages to deliver orders swiftly without compromising on quality or presentation. Every dish is served with a smile and a genuine interest in the guest's satisfaction.

What surprised me the most was how my preconceived notions about vegan food were completely overturned. The vibrant flavors, varied textures, and creative presentations were far from boring. I walked away with a newfound appreciation for vegan cuisine and a deeper understanding of how fulfilling and exciting a plant-based diet can be. Sunday C&C Eatery has truly changed my perspective, proving that vegan food can be just The Bowery’s got a new Vegan Boss,...

I can throw as many superlatives as I want at this review - incredible, delicious, mind-expanding, delightful, unique, whatever - they all describe the experience we had!

My wife and I both love mushrooms and were visiting from the UK so we only had a few days to explore different restaurants and this one was our favorite by far. Low key counter service from the chef, and only 10 or so seats in this outdoor space make it very intimate. The mushrooms themselves were prepared to give you a deep appreciation of them and also the possibilities that exist when cooking with different mushrooms! We had a lions mane dish and an king oyster dish - we agreed that both were in our top 5 mushrooms dishes of all time. I’d come back every week if I could! Don’t miss out! Go to this place if you...

Possibly the best vegan food in NYC. Their rotating menu consistently features inventive dishes with bold flavours and interesting ingredients. That they make such delicious, attractive food in such a tiny kitchen is something of a miracle. Truly a testament to the care and professionalism of the chef and his team.

On a recent visit, we had the Lion's Mane Mushrooms with crispy yucca, the Fried Chick'n Sandwich and Romesco Toast. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented as always.

Pricing is also very fair for what you get, a rarity in the city. The only downside here is that a dish you fall in love with might no longer be available the next time you go. Of course, it's safe to assume there'll be other amazing dishes to fall in love with.
