Moka
Vegan
59 Main St, Largs KA30 8AQ
Opened in March of this year, Moka, based in Largs, is the newest addition in this vegetarian and plant-based family. The original café in Ardrossan was established three years ago and as owner, Anmol Panesar, emphasizes, customers don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian to enjoy their delicious food. Everyone is welcome.
With the new premises bringing some much-needed plant joy to the food scene in Largs, not to mention a beautiful vibrant shop front, Moka serves up breakfasts, brunches, lunches and cakes which are sure to appeal to meat eaters and non-meat eaters alike. Packed with colour, taste and goodness, you’ll find a creative menu with a refreshing number of meat-free choices, all of which can be enjoyed with a range of specialty teas, coffees or soft drinks.
Breakfasts offer an abundance of vegan and vegetarian options with ‘plantified’ versions of traditional breakfast items like black pudding, sausage and haggis which can be enjoyed in a morning roll or as part of a hearty breakfast. Some popular choices include Smashed Avocado Toast and Spiced Chickpeas Toast. The menu also features a tasty and healthier twist on the classic Eggs Benedict with the black pudding Benny and the halloumi Benny, both served on sourdough, offering delicious alternatives to the traditional version. For those with a sweet tooth the Biscoff and mixed berry pancakes come highly recommended and if you’re craving a substantial meat-like bite then the breakfast burrito is the one for you.
The lunch menu is equally creative, dispelling any myths about the lack of diversity in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Classic favourites have been given a vibrant, flavourful plant-based twist, proving that forgoing meat does not mean forgoing satisfaction. Dishes like Halloumi Skewers and Tofu Skewers are true showstoppers, bursting with colour and flavours. The same can be said for the burgers on the menu which have been carefully crafted to leave diners feeling satisfied. Team Moka is currently working on expanding into dinner service and as part of the dinner menu they are planning to introduce a hand selected range of organic vegan wines, beers and ciders for customers to enjoy alongside their meals.
In addition to the meals on offer, you’ll find a selection of cakes, pastries and ice-creams to tempt you as you take in the beautiful vibrant surroundings and cast an eye over some of the books available which might inspire you to try some of this at home. There are countless options to let you explore the world of plants here and a visit to Moka is the perfect way to get more of them into your life.
