CLOSED - Restaurant review: Home Eat To Live in Central – vegetarian restaurant with a message
Two-storey healthy eating spot has a diverse menu of sandwiches, burgers, salads, noodles, coffee, juices and desserts
With its green decor and dishes named after endangered or extinct animals, new Central restaurant Home Eat To Live clearly has a message: environmental protection is important.
Vegetarian restaurants generally have limited menus, but here the choices are so dazzlingly varied that it took some time for us to figure it out. There are open-faced toasts, flatbreads, burgers, salads, noodles, dessert and many different types of drinks. And most of the ingredients are sourced locally to reduce carbon footprint.
The two-storey restaurant feels cosy, with the first floor offering colourful desserts and salads for takeaway, and the dining room on the second floor.
We liked the polar bear burger (HK$98), with a patty made of beetroot, mushrooms and oats. To mimic the texture of meat, three types kinds of mushrooms are used.The roasted bell peppers, smoked aubergine caviar and aioli added flavour.
