We tried Ye Olde Durty Bird as we had heard that they had vegan options. This is pub fare food and like most pub fare – it's heavy on the meat and the cheese. To their credit, though, there is one vegan option (it's a start). We both had the Vegetarian "Fauxlafel" Burger, which is made vegan by withholding the tzatziki sauce (props to Durty Bird for mentioning this suggestion in the menu).
We had two versions, one served as described in the menu and another made in a wrap. The original version is served in a lettuce wrap, and so think of it as placed inside a big chunk of lettuce. The sandwich has arugula, cucumbers, carrots, radish and a nice Tahini soy vinaigrette. They had several types of wraps (e.g., spinach), but we chose the traditional wrap.
Both wraps were delicious. The lettuce version was a bit harder to eat, but still was nicely done. Most vegan bar food seems to be an afterthought, check the box ("yes, we have a vegan option"), if they have an option at all. This wrap seemed nicely crafted and was quite tasty. The tahini soy vinaigrette added some nice flavors and the falafel was just the right mix of fried and tender.
We enjoyed our wraps and look forward to returning when we crave some good pub food.
