Grandeur - Oakland

Before the pandemic, this restaurant was pretty good, but now they have really dropped in quality. I decided to give them another try the other night and was very disappointed. #Veganuary

I ordered the pretzel pulled pork style jackfruit burger with sweet potato fries, while my friend had the cauliflower "chicken wings" sandwich. Both dishes were delicious, with a nice level of spice. Unfortunately, we missed out on trying their donuts as we arrived late.

I would say this restaurant offers some good vegan choices, but did I prefer it over all-vegan establishments? Not really.

Five stars! The twisted town fries are the best fries I’ve ever had and I am a big fan of fries. They are a thick twisty shape perfectly crispy, smothered with vegan cheddar, and topped with green onion and smoky “bacon.” The vegan fried “chicken” (cauliflower) sandwich was also astoundingly good the cauliflower was tender and it was battered and fried to perfection. I had it with vegan cheese and cumin aioli, and it had a delicious slaw as the veg element. The sweet potato fries were also delicious, and my kid said his non vegan sandwich was amazing. Halal, too! Oh, and the person at the counter was very nice. All the breads, cheeses, and sauces are vegan. Updated from previous review on 2021 07 19
