I would say at least 40% of the dishes on Muse Restaurant ‘s menu are vegetarian with the most popular diner’s choice being the Muse Bowl..

Asked about the concerns around ‘cross contamination’ from vegetarian diners, Allan said; “We haven’t really had any issues regarding cross contamination, we make use of the right cutting boards and clean equipment.”

There are many different diets followed by people who don’t eat meat ranging from a ‘mild’ form to strict vegan that will not eat any animal products of any kind at all. This presents challenges in terms of staff being able to define if a restaurant’s offering will satisfy the diner. so we asked Allan how staff from Muse Restaurant help the diner define their ‘eating niche’?

“We as chefs take the time out the kitchen to chat to guests about what their needs are, we then try and accommodate them as far as we possibly can.” said Allan.

Are diners welcome to visit Muse Restaurant’s kitchen? “Ya sure, it would depend on how busy the kitchen is at that stage though.”

Muse Restaurant has experienced an upward trend in diners asking for vegetarian dishes. Allan says; “People are more informed.” 

Allan Bezuidenhout invites diners to experience Muse Restaurant saying; “We need to look at sustainability, no use leaving one bad habit for the next.”
