We
recently
visited
Dicki's
New
Farm,
conveniently
located
at
the
river
end
of
Brunswick
St,
a
short
walk
from
the
beautiful
New
Farm
Park.
Upon
arriving,
we
received
warm
and
attentive
service
from
the
gentleman
running
the
cafe.
He
was
friendly
and
quickly
had
us
seated
(at
a
table
of
our
choice)
and,
within
minutes,
table
water
was
provided.
Dicki's
is
proof
that
vegan
dining
can
be
enticing,
offer
great
variety,
incorporates
global
influences
and,
best
of
all,
has
amazing
flavours.
We
ordered
a
range
of
items,
including
the
Grains
&
Greens
Salad,
Green
'Eggs'
on
Turkish,
Mushroom
Arancini
Balls,
and
a
serve
of
fries
&
aioli.
To
wash
it
all
down,
a
Mango/Lime/Coconut
smoothie,
Chai
Latte,
and
Flat
White
were
ordered.
In
a
nutshell,
everything
was
hugely
impressive.
The
Arancini
Balls,
in
particular,
were
divine
and
I
could
have
devoured
another
three
plates!
They
were
creamy
on
the
inside,
crunchy
on
the
outside,
and
the
truffle
aioli
was
spectacular.
Both
meals,
and
fries,
were
also
of
a
high
calibre,
with
my
only
subtle
criticism
being
the
mild
flavour
of
the
Green
Eggs.
They
were
well
prepared
and
much
enjoyed
but,
perhaps,
faded
into
the
background
when
compared
to
the
other
delights
served.
Our
drinks,
I'm
pleased
to
say,
were
excellent.
My
Chai
Latte
was
the
best
I've
had
in
many
months.
It
had
a
unique
aniseed/licorice
edge
to
it,
which
was
perfectly
complemented
by
the
bite,
spice
and
warmth
also
present.
It
was
so
good
that
I
ordered
a
second
to
take
away.
My
wife,
the
fussy
coffee
drinker,
was
very
impressed
with
her
Flat
White.
Again,
better
than
she'd
had
for
some
time.
The
smoothie
was
thick,
creamy,
and
loaded
with
flavour.
It
reminded
me
of
a
Mango
Weis
bar,
which
is
always
a
good
thing!
I
will
say
that
Dicki's
NF,
in
my
humble
opinion,
rates
as
one
of
the
best
plant-based
establishments
I've
ever
visited.
Location,
service,
food,
and
drinks
were
all
of
a
superior
standard.
I
rarely
say
this,
but
I
am
excited
about
going
there
again,
and
soon.
