[UK-born celebrity chef John Mountain
has ignited an online war after
banning vegans
from his Perth restaurant]



On Sunday the young woman lodged a complaint.

['My only option was the vegetable dish… it was okay
but not that filling… and I was shocked
to see it was $32,' she wrote in her complaint via
a direct Facebook message,
as reported by PerhNow.

'I think it's incredibly important nowadays
that restaurants can accommodate everyone
and to not be able to have actual plant-based
meals shows your shortcomings as a chef.

'I hope to see some improvements in
your menu as I have lived in Connolly for
quite some time and have seen
many restaurants come and go from that
building and none of them last.

'If you don't get with the times,
I don't hold out faith that your restaurant
will be the one that does.']

tbf I can see an argument that you should have at least one vegan meal on any menu, just because it simplifies things. Also handy for people like my daughter who are lack toast and tolerant. If she can't see anything on the menu that's clearly dairy-free she just picks a Vegan option because it'll definitely be non-dairy (even though she does eat meat).

Other people's Veganism has been great for her really. Did Ben & Jerry make dairy-free ice cream for lactose & dairy intolerant people? Did they **** there were basically no dairy-free icecream options at all! Then numbers of Vegans started increasing and lo and behold - Ben & Jerrys now has a whole range of dairy-free options. Same with stuff like pizzas. Options for dairy-free used to be awful to nonexistent... now everywhere does a vegan option.

She had every right to give a bad review of her experience there as a vegan though, at the end of the day anyone who isn't a vegan is going to just ignore her review anyway because they won't want the vegan option. Seems like a silly tantrum over nothing imo

My company is on trust pilot and we have had some stinking reviews that are not justifiable at all. It's the way the world is these days if you are in business. Justified or not, people can say something is a pile of poo, you just have to accept that and trust that the majority of people see the review for what it is.

We still live in a society where the majority are non vegan, so someone saying they have no vegan options is of no consequence at all
