Whenever I am feeling overindulged, a fail safe way of getting my gut and body to recover is for me to eat a plant based vegan diet for a few days. After the incredibleness of our weekend away in Margaret River for their annual food festival Gourmet Escape, my body was crying out for some gentle eating. We burned all the candles at every end for the full weekend attending multiple degustations, an international Cabernet tasting and rubbing shoulder with some celebrity chefs. I will not deny it was all worth it.
Fresh berry smoothie ($7.90, GF)
For the following week I had time off work which gave me a chance to catch up on my long to-do list without any distractions. Wanting to pledge to adhere to a vegan, or at least vegetarian diet for most of the week I kick-started it all off with a visit to Loving Hut on Albany Highway in Victoria Park.
Vegan patties with salad ($14, GF)
Loving Hut are an international vegan restaurant chain with over 200 locations around the world. They were created with the vision that all beings on this Earth can live in peace, love and harmony with each other.
Gluten free quiche ($12 with salad)
Each Loving Hut restaurant is individually owned allowing them to have their own influence on the dishes on their menus with just one thing being in common; all their food is made only with wholesome plant based ingredients.
Raw open salad sandwich ($12, GF)

For the course of the next week, I returned almost every day to grab myself a healthy and easy vegan lunch and was impressed to see that they changed most of their dishes daily.
Gourmet mock meat pie ($6.50, not GF)
There are a bunch of different gluten free options including gluten free quiche and raw sandwiches along with some other non-gluten free options for those more “normal” people. Loving Hut are open 7 days so once we hit the weekend I dragged the Boy along to show him what I had been raving about all week. It didn’t take long to convert him and we ended up eating lunch there on both days of that weekend.
Spinach cashew quiche with side salad (not the GF option, $11)
He loved the mock meat pies with their homemade Gourmet pie being his favourite. Filled with loads of roasted vegetables in additional to chunks of mock meat, he wants to return and grab a bunch of them to put in the freezer for him to eat later.
Raw macarons ($3.50 each)
I am so delighted to have found a restaurant within walking distance of my home that can supply us with healthy, gluten free vegan options for lunch. More so their ingredients were fresh and predominately organic. The Loving Hut staff are super friendly and were happy to talk me through all the ingredients so I could pick the fructose friendly options too. Being kind to my body and all our creatures on this Earth has never been so easy!

It was hard to believe it was all vegan, the smoothie tasted so…normal!
Sounds like I need a bit of a vegan week myself! This looks great. Glad you convinced the boy to visit.
Lol! It does help after a crazy overindulgence!
Wow, looks so cathartic for your body to heal after a weekend of indulgence. Love the look of those dishes!
Everything was so fresh and tasty! Body is cleansed and happy now!
Oh, I do love it when you find interesting and inviting vegetarian/vegan food and especially enjoy it for lunch.
Absolutely! I wish there were more options out there like this!
I’d go vegan for a week with food like that :P!
Lol! I cannot see you being a vegan….could you give up pork? 😉
I am quite a fan of cashew cheese, I have to say. And brilliant a shade of purple is that smoothie!
Same here! And I’m always surprised at the excellent texture too.
Really good idea-I do this too when my body is feeling overwhelmed. It really seems to help! 😀
So true isnt it! I think we will all need a bit of vegan food after Christmas excesses!
The dishes look very fresh and wholesome – I like the fact that they change their menu daily too!
