Veggi Monster (CLOSED)
Once upon a time, being healthy – or vegan in this case – meant that it was difficult to enjoy a good burger, especially when most of the burger joints use meat as their ingredients. Luckily, it’s no longer the case with the rise of healthy burgers like those at Veggi Monster, a vegan deli you can always rely on for their healthy rendition of burgers, salad, and wraps. Their charcoal bun burger, Burger in Black, is easily the favourite, which is unique in not only the appearance but also the ingredients, using melted soy cheese, black truffle sauce, and a patty made of black beans, potato, quinoa, and bread crumbs. Another winner is the Tofu Lover, which uses tofu and beetroot patty with mustard sauce.
