We were looking for a way to give a second life to our coffee grounds when we crossed path with Permafungi a few years ago. They use our coffee waste as a fertilizer to grow oyster mushrooms. Exactly what we were looking for. Once harvested, we are preparing these organic mushrooms in a brand new and warm recipe which is also 100% vegan. A small steps that tastes like many others.

Vegan and delicious

In our menu, we are preparing many 100% vegan recipes to inspire you and to convince you that eating vegan can also be tasty.

The oyster mushrooms in our bun are caramelized and covered with a special smoked spice sauce. For the meat lovers, this texture and taste will remind you of pulled-pork. These mushrooms are served on a home made vegan bun with fresh salad, tomato and pickled red onions. See how Alain makes it in the video below… 

 

More vegan recipes

One of our small step is to widen our range to offer more vegan recipes. The goal is to be able to offer a menu that is half vegan and which will be able to seduce and convince people who would not have otherwise chosen for a vegan dish. Although we do our best to adapt our menu according to the seasons, our bun will remain available all year long since the oyster mushrooms are grown in the basement of Tour & Taxis.
