Almost everything we’ve had at Crux has been tasty, with exception to sometimes overcooked soggy food (popcorn Chick’n, 2 different dinner burgers fries I’m talking about here) when getting takeaway on 3 occasions. Dining in have not ever had that experience. Personally I preferred when they did the non GF options, but they do do GF very well. The venue is small sometimes you have to wait but it is worth it as a treat. The mains are expensive but you can see love put into the food. However, there is a surcharge every weekend. Understandable when they say they pay their staff well, but the portion sizes of the sides has been so disappointing and inconsistent most occasions, it makes me feel t...
For the better part I don’t miss much from my pre-vegan days. Occasionally something comes up that makes me wish I could have it just one more time but it’s rare. Except eggs benny. I used to love eggs benny and when I went vegan I kissed that one goodbye. Or so I thought. Today the hubby and I drove the hour and ten minutes to try the Crux eggs benny. I’d heard enough to know this was something worth driving for but I was skeptical. Could it really even come close? Of course it couldn’t but I wanted to see for myself. Holy cow Batman was it a knock out! BAM!! It didn’t come close. It damn well nailed it!! You would swear you were eating “the real thing”. Which I was, except a gazillion time...
I am super proud of what these guys have done for vegan food in Adelaide. They are so passionate and obviously put a lot of thought into their tasty menu. For my personal liking I prefer healthier meals so the fake eggs/bacon doesn’t really keep me coming back that often. I do understand the appeal for others though and do think the meals they offer are delicious. I just don’t understand the 10% surcharge on weekends so that they can pay staff penalty rates. I have worked in many cafes and have always been paid penalty rates without the business passing this onto the customers. With prices that are much higher than other vegan cafes (JOF, lost deli) I can’t quite understand their rationale.
This interesting brunch cafe was worth the trip out to Semaphore from the city. The space was modern, the staff super friendly and accommodating and the food delicious and clever. The Benny had the most convincing vegan egg I’ve experienced and the bacon was high quality too. The tofu scramble 22), while undeniably tasty, was almost a bit too dense in texture and intense in flavour for me at that time of the morning. Portion sizes were huge and it took us a while to get through it all, but the prices matched. At $27 the Benny can only be called f*cking expensive, and if you added the hash browns you could have yourself a $30 breakfast. A very special treat. Réservez une table maintenant
This restaurant offers unique dishes made with their own mock meat, such as speck, huh, and ei, that can't be found anywhere else. It's not a health cafe, but a place to enjoy delicious food. The portions are large but come at a price - expect to spend around $75 for two people. Despite the cost, the food is delicious and worth a visit to Crux. If it were more affordable, I would definitely be a regular customer.
My birthday weekend was ruined by a quick fake meal at this restaurant. The speck was cleverly juiced and the coffee was decent, but everything else was disgusting. The total cost for 2 meals, 1 coffee, and 1 juice came to $87.90, and we left feeling unsatisfied. The only thing worth mentioning was the fake speck, which was the closest thing to real speck I had tasted, but it still wasn't impressive.
