Sova Vegan Butcher

I popped along with a Vegetarian Group to this Restaurant. Its a pop-up restaurant meaning, that it won't be situated at a particular address permanently, it is due to close down here in Rathmines and hopefully it'll will have been found another home for the time being. Anyways getting back to the review at hand, It's very poorly sign posted, I was advised that the sign post was small, well how true is that. Upon arriving inside eventually, I found the environment to be very negative, very down and out building its in. When I arrived, I was shown the menu. The price is a BIG plus. I was most appreciative for that, for a guy or even a person who has a low budget. However with this mind, I can see why the price was low. I had a three course meal for €20 which is acceptable. However I'll go into further detail. My first course was:Chickpeas and Kale Koftas paraley sioli/fennel and apple salad. This wasn't too bad. However as I later learned the Koftas or as the American's call it CornDog(Not sure if that's meat thou), I immediately began to devour it. It tasted exactly like the one I had as a kid in Romania Orphanage. The salad thou I found was very acidic, it was burning my lips etc., and even upsetting my stomach. My next course was the main: Lentils and Aubergine Meatballs Creamy fennel and Dill sauce/garlic crostinni/pomegranate salad. The main wasn't too bad. Again very acidic. The bread was slightly hard, however I have since explained that it was roasted. And my third and final course: was the the dessert aka the Lemon and Poppy Seed Cake. This was absolutely stunning. Enjoyed it immensely. And as my last part of the review, I must give credit to the chef, the presentation of each course, was outstanding. I was most impressed. So my favorite meal, was NONE, but I most enjoyed the Koftas, as part of the Starter

When you walk upon the outside, descend down the stairs and walk to the back. It's kind of hidden back there. It was a Sunday and they had four or five brunch items. I decided to get the chia burger. It was quite large. You can't eat it by picking it up. You definitely need to pick at it with your fork. Personally, I didn't care for the bun, but everything else was quite tasty. I also got a smoothie which was good too. Service is a bit slow. It's expected when you only have two people working there. Don't go there if you're in a hurry.

People from Ireland can use google translate or just look at my one star. This was crazy. I took two courses, my girlfriend had three. I also took a juice. After 61 minutes, I finally got my juice. My food came after 1:00 and 47 minutes. I didn't like to eat it all! Although that taste remains natural. My girlfriend liked it. Except dessert. That's what we both thought was tacky wallpaper. They shouldn't profile themselves as "vegan butcher," I think. You only do that when you try to make fake meat. A bean burger is just not an imitation meat. No, that's a bean burger. Call it that! Don't call it meatballs when they're ribbons with eggplant balls. I'd already talked about the service. This was sad.
