We've eaten a few foams at high end restaurants and they're interesting - worth a try once on a dish that takes your fancy. :-)<br /><br />Mel, I reckon it would be worth asking! Their fresh produce is so good. I wonder, though, if they would essentially just remove the cheese from the vegetarian dishes or make an effort to replace it... ?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-42124159939005732102011-02-21T08:38:17.535+11:002011-02-21T08:38:17.535+11:00I had the tasting menu at Merrijig last year befor...I had the tasting menu at Merrijig last year before I went vegan and loved it. It was such a quaint little place, the service was wonderful and the food was outstanding. Would love to know if they would cater for vegans, Port Fairy is a great place for a long weekend getaway.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-29595558033158921622011-02-20T20:39:38.709+11:002011-02-20T20:39:38.709+11:00what did you think of the salty foam?

I see alot of that nowadays and I cannot bring myself to choose a dish with it on there. :-/Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184935863669950723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-59308222085709808992011-02-20T20:32:38.967+11:002011-02-20T20:32:38.967+11:00I'd love to go here - lingered at the menu whe...I'd love to go here - lingered at the menu when in port fairy last year but it just didn't seem the place for a toddler so gave it a miss - glad to see it is still impressing - I think that it is good to have the nuts in the dessert if the protein is lacking in the savoury dishesJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.com
