🌱 Not Your Average Vegan Menu — This One’s a Work of Art
First things first: Roganic doesn’t have a fixed vegan menu. But what they do have is something even cooler — a vegan version of their regular tasting menu, made with the same care, creativity, and sophistication.
Spoiler alert: it’s phenomenal. Here’s what went down, course by glorious course.
🧂 SNACKS — The Grand Vegan Welcome
- Salted Baked Boltardy Beetroot with persimmon, hawthorn, dill root cracker, and an herby emulsion. Fancy, fresh, and fab.
- Maitake Mousse with braised shiitake, pickled shimeji & ramson oil — a full-on umami bomb in the best way possible.
- Pumpernickel Bread + Cultured Vegan Butter — YES, they made a vegan version of their famous butter and YES, I could eat it by the spoonful.
🍅 FIRST — Tomato, But Make It Art
- Farmhouse Tomatoes in Perilla & Coal with fermented pistachio. Sounds wild? It is. Wildly refreshing and delicious. It’s definitely the perfect way to start our vegan gastronomic journey!
🌱 SECOND — BBQ, But Make It Plant-Based
- BBQ Celeriac + Mr. Lin’s Asparagus, nasturtium leaves, and smoked dashi. A smoky, savory delight that made me rethink all root vegetables forever.
🥗 THIRD — A Salad That Changed My Life
I’m not exaggerating.
- Grilled Salad Over Embers, with toasted seeds, elderflower, yeast, and summer truffle.
This was, without a doubt, the best salad I’ve had in my entire life. And I don’t say that lightly. I wanted to cry a little bit.
🧃 Non-Alcoholic Pairing? YES PLEASE!
Now, let’s talk drinks.
We opted for the non-alcoholic pairing — and I’m SO glad we did.
Roganic brews their own in-house kombucha, and it’s not just fizzy tea — it’s flavour alchemy.
We picked:
- Crystal Pear & Miso Kombucha – subtly sweet, beautifully balanced, and slightly savory in the most intriguing way.
- Hojicha & Beetroot Kombucha – earthy, toasty, and surprisingly refreshing. Who knew roasted tea and beetroot could be such a power couple?
These pairings didn’t just complement the food — they elevated it. A perfect alternative for anyone skipping alcohol but still wanting a sophisticated, paired experience.
🍋 PRE-DESSERT — A Fancy Palate Cleanser
- Aerated Perfume — lemon, lychee, and Douglas fir. Light, zesty, and kind of magical. Like a forest fairy made you a sorbet.
🍓 DESSERT — Strawberry Dreams Forever
- Strawberry Tartlet with hibiscus and Earl Grey, topped with the most divine strawberry sorbet.
Sweet, floral, refreshing… chef’s kiss.
🍰 SWEET TREATS — The Grand Finale
- Roganic Waffles + Blackcurrant Tea Cake — a dainty, delicious bite to end a truly unforgettable meal.
💸 Let’s Talk Value: Is It Worth the Price?
For HKD 1280 + 10% service, you’re getting:
- 7+ courses of fine-dining-level vegan food
- Impeccable service
- House-brewed kombucha pairings that deserve their own awards 🏆
- And vegan butter. Did I mention the butter?
Honestly? Totally worth it.
This isn’t just a dinner — it’s a full-on vegan culinary experience in the heart of Hong Kong. Perfect for special occasions, celebrations, or just treating yourself because you deserve it.
🎉 Final Thoughts: 10/10 Would Vegan Again
I left Roganic feeling:
- Full (but not too full)
- Inspired
- Slightly emotional (thanks, truffle salad)
- And SO excited about the future of vegan fine dining in Hong Kong.
