Buddha Soul Restò

So delicious but if you’re vegan and or allergic to dairy be careful. We ordered the vegan set menu which came with tea or coffee. We asked for caffeine free tea if they had it but he just said “milk tea” and we said we would like that if it was vegan. I asked if it was soy milk and but I think there was a language barrier because he just said “yeah”. They brought it and we could tell it was cows milk. I asked him again if it was soy milk or coconut milk and he said “normal milk”. I asked why it was part of the vegan set and he said “milk tea it’s not vegan”. My terrible Italian skills and the limited English are definitely to blame for the mix up - it’s to be expected when traveling!- but if you are vegan or dairy intolerant and especially if you have a dairy allergy be very clear. Even if you’ve ordered vegan food and tried to clarify- ask them what milk they will use for drinks/food. Other than that the place is beautiful and the food is delicious but the portions were a bit small for how much they cost and I’m skeptical about whether or not the food was really vegan. Luckily my allergy is mild and not anaphylaxis-level but I wanted to warn people to not take it for granted that you’ll be served all vegan/dairy free even if you’ve stated you’re vegan and can’t have milk. They also didn’t really care when I told them I was allergic to dairy and was served cows milk even after stating that information. It seems very careless and dangerous to people with allergies. Edited: I edited the my star rating after the owners response to my review- the owner says they would be a fool to serve someone milk who had a dairy allergy and yet they did and didn’t care. I said several times I was vegan and allergic to cow milk. Instead of being apologetic they are defensive. It’s very off putting and a dangerous attitude to have.
