Perth chef bans vegans from restaurant Follows a bad experience and review Move ignited a war of contrasting reviews
On the Saturday in question Mr Mountain said he forgot about the women's request because he had been busy catering a private party.
His sous chef was not happy that evening, scolding him for 'not telling them about the vegan customer.'
On Sunday the young woman lodged a complaint.
'My only option was the vegetable dish… it was okay but not that filling… and I was shocked to see it was $32,' she wrote in her complaint via a direct Facebook message, as reported by PerhNow.
'I think it's incredibly important nowadays that restaurants can accommodate everyone and to not be able to have actual plant-based meals shows your shortcomings as a chef.
A chef has banned vegans from his restaurant after a run-in with an unhappy customer ignited an online war between carnivores and non-meat eaters.
UK-born celebrity chef John Mountain has posted a Facebook notice that reads: 'Sadly all vegans are now banned from Fyre for mental health reasons. We thank you for your understanding. xx'
Fyre is the restaurant Mr Mountain runs in the northern Perth suburb of Connolly. His statement on social media explained why non-meaters are no longer welcome.
'A young girl reached out to me and said she was coming to the restaurant… and asked if there were vegan options,' he said.
'It was my only shortfall… I said I would accommodate her, I said we had gnocchi, vegetables… and that was that.'

And tell you ...

I went to,a vegan resteraunt and they didn’t serve meat! IM A VICTIM OF BIAS!
'It was my only shortfall… I said I would accommodate her, I said we had gnocchi, vegetables… and that was that.'
It seems patently obvious that if one desires vegan dishes, go to a vegan restaurant.
Meanwhile, the diners at the oither restaurants will greatly appreciate the absence of vegans.
Grass fed cows eat grass.
You’re welcome.
Grass needs phosphorus and nitrogen to grow. Recycled animals, like bone meal, are excellent sources of that.
So grass is technically an omnivore.
I might need a fact check on this one ;>)
vegans have an eating disorder.
As another writer observed, “ I went onto a carpet store the other day and was greatly dismayed at the limited selection of telescopes they had for sale”
One review provided a lengthy lecture on why Mr Mountain should be serving vegan dishes.
‘In today’s society, the demand for vegan options is on the rise,’ the review reads.
Yeah well, there’s a lot of demand for McDonald’s as well. But he isn’t running a McDonald’s, is he? And he’s not interested in running a vegan restaurant, either.
Without a doubt.
