    I was disappointed with the soya I have to say, it just wasn't as thick or creamy as the whipped ice cream shakes. It's a shame because I get stomach pains from milk... Maybe if they put more ice cream in it'd be nicer - wasn't even cold :(

    The Ferrero Rocher Chocoholic one is amazing but I havent had the soya version...

    What was in your soya one exactly Cherub? Will be interesting to know. I would like one with peanut butter and bourbon biscuits! It's more expensive for soya too, which is a bit crappy.

    I got Maltesers. :D I thought it'd be like a chocolate malt. It wasn't.

    It's expensive because they can only get these little tubs of soya ice cream that cost a fortune. They're hexagonal black tubs.

    It wasn't as good as a chocolate malt but was still pretty good in it's own right, kinda boring though :p. My boyf got a dairy Maltesers one so I tasted his too. Nice.

    Can you eat Oreos? Oreo shake is amazing!

    Haha Get, you sure know your vegan foods! I googled images. Maybe you could suggest different soya ice cream (or other alternatives) to them? Is it possible to get whipped 99 style soya ice cream?

    I've no idea! I've never seen it anyway...

    Hey I went there with my dad on Saturday and I FINALLY HAD A MILKSHAKE!! :eek::eek::eek:

    IT WAS AMAZING! I had it with peanut butter and blended bourbon biscuits. To. Die. For. I'm gonna make my own though in future, at €4.50 it was pretty expensive. I think that's what it cost anyway. My dad had the Fererro Rocher one and really liked it too. :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

    oh wow... as a vegan new to Dublin, this is exactly the kind of information I need. I'm still feeling lost as to where the vegan products are and what omni restaurants have the best vegan-friendly food... like where can I get a vegan burger in this city that tastes like meat?? So far I've only found vegetable and bean patties. :(

    A vegan burger... Well, the only place that I know would do them is Juice :) Any other veggie restaurant it would depend if the chef feels like putting it on the menu or not.

    The Juice burger doesn't look like it tastes like meat? Beans, oats, herbs and vegetables.

    I've been eating BK veggie... which says no egg or dairy http://www.burgerking.co.uk/nutrition?producttypeid=18&productid=222&tab=allergens

    Oh, meat imitation? Anytime I've seen a vegan burger in a restauranut it has always been vegetable/ lentil style. Restaurants generally avoid imitation meat. Can you get access to a kitchen to buy some Fry's or Redwood burgers?

    You won't get good ones here, although do Eddie Rockets have Dee's vegan burger?

    Best off just buying some and cooking them at home I'm afraid.

    Dee's burgers are wholesome... Eddie Rockets use her spicey bean burger.

    But really... what is the deal with that? Do people here just not like faux meat burgers or why wouldn't SOME restaurant want a monopoly on that? Back in Ottawa not only can I get a meaty vegan-friendly burger from Harvey's or Burger King or KFC (which is handy when travelling out of town) but countless omni establishments have veggie burgers and more often than not they are vegan-friendly and taste like meat.
    I don't think my "but it's sooo easy to be vegan!" argument is going to work so well here. :(

    Probably not as big an incentive due to the amount of vegetarians, even supermarkets withdraw their range for not selling well, then restaurants won't be doing too well on it. I'd say one in Dublin might do well though, just nobody has started it. Even B&Bs and pubs in other countries are better than restaurants here.

    Well, I have seen a good number of veggie burgers available by various restaurants... but they are all bean-veg based.., I'm surprised that they should be considered a better seller than the meaty-soy burgers by all restaurants.

    All veggies in Europe prefer bean-veg, while all veggies in North America prefer meaty-soy? I still don't get it. :) This is a great example: http://www.worksburger.com/pdf/menu.pdf choice of meaty-veggie burger or portabello mushroom... I wonder what their sales stats are.

    For the record... I don't choose bean-veg patties EVEREVER. I want to have my burger taste like a burger and prefer my veggies in other forms of food. Only now because I don't have access to a kitchen and such limited choices have I been eating a bean based burger. :P
