The Cordial Cork - Richmond

As someone new to a healthier eating lifestyle, I have been sticking with it for about a month now. Recently, I was craving a stir fry, so my husband and I decided to try out a new restaurant. Despite my dietary restrictions, he was able to enjoy a regular meal while I was able to find something satisfying on the menu. We both left the restaurant feeling happy and satisfied, and we were thrilled to have found a place that catered to both of our preferences on our date night.

I’ve tried this place a few times, but after the last visit, I’ll never go again. I got the jackfruit nachos and it was tasteless and cold. It looked and tasted like they just opened a bag of jackfruit, a can of beans and a can of corn and threw it on cheap store bought tortilla chips.

They have a couple options and the menu is marked clearly. The food is ok, nothing overly special. Bit on the expensive side.

I was excited to find a restaurant with vegan choices, but I was disappointed with my order. I got the BBQ jackfruit nachos and a side of seasoned fries, which cost me $18.75. Unfortunately, my dog ended up eating most of the nachos. The BBQ flavor was lacking and the jackfruit was in chunks, making it difficult to eat on the soggy nachos. I was very disappointed with my experience and will not be returning.

I ordered takeout from this restaurant on Taco Tuesday night and tried the garden veggie black bean taco and the bruschetta. Both dishes were delicious and the flavors were fantastic, especially the bruschetta. I was pleased to find a restaurant in Richmond that offers clearly labeled, tasty vegan options.
