I was in Madison, WI this past weekend, visiting friends at my alma mater. For breakfast, we went to Monty’s Blue Plate Diner. As soon as you arrive, they have coffee ready and waiting for your sippage, which is heaven to me. We also had several soy milk fans in the group and they gave us a little caraff of soy for our coffees while we waited for a table.
I had long been contemplating the idea of vegan French toast. Was it possible? I know now it totally is. Monty’s has some great vegan and vegetarian options, and vegan French toast is one of them. My only qualm was that the French toast was slightly dry. But with some maple syrup, it was great. Emory had a tofu scramble that I nibbled which was also yummy. And the servers were great about replenishing our coffee supply. All around, it was a great breakfast.
When you’re done dining at Monty’s Blue Plate, you should wander across the street to Gail Ambrosious – Choclatier. They make AMAZING (though kind of pricey) chocolate, some of which is vegan, with local ingredients. I recommend the peanut butter filled chocolate bunny (Easterly festive), and also the dark chocolate hearts. What? I told you I had a sweet tooth. Don’t judge me. If you can’t get to Madison, you can order the chocolates online. Hooray!
