Dubai’s favourite Café Isan offers brand new VEGAN menu
Café Isan, JLT, has lovingly veganised its most popular menu items [Dubai, July 2020]
Café Isan, Dubai’s most authentic Thai street food and tea bar restaurant, has launched a bespoke vegan menu, offering all of its beloved, flavourful dishes without meat or dairy. The JLT Cluster B-based outlet, which recently won Best Thai restaurant in the Time Out Restaurant Awards 2020, has revealed an enticing plant-based menu, enabling everyone to enjoy its special regional Thai cuisine without fear of compromising dietary choices or suffering an allergic reaction.
Partner and co-owner Lisa Knight says: “Chef New has always used the freshest vegetables in our cuisine, but we decided that as veganism grows and grows, we need to ensure we cater to our plant-loving friends with their own menu. We know how tough it can be when you don’t or can’t eat animal products, and you’re confronted with a confusing array of dishes. Our vegan menu means people can choose authentic Thai dishes without having to compromise on the award-winning flavours Chef New is renowned for.”
Some of the dishes can be made gluten free, making the new vegan menu useful for those with allergies and intolerances. As everything is freshly made in a flash, those with allergies can quickly be catered for, and dishes made more or less spicy to order. While Thai food is often plant-focused, many dishes traditionally contain fish sauce or other hidden non-vegan items. There’s an array of traditional drinks which are also vegan friendly (and alcohol free).
Choices on the drinks menu include that powerhouse of goodness, iced lemongrass; iced roselle (hibiscus) tea which does wonders for the blood pressure, or why not drink down the natural electrolytes found in a whole fresh coconut?
Already a winner of the ‘Best Budget’ and shortlisted for the ‘Best Thai’ Time Out Dubai Restaurant Awards in 2017, the cosy, friendly restaurant also won a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence in both 2017, and was proudly nominated for a BBC Good Food Award in 2018.
