Nestled in the side streets of bustling Harajuku and Omotesando is this little treasure- Mr. FARMER. While its not a strictly vegan nor a vegetarian operation, the attention paid to their specialized vegan menu makes you wonder why on earth they aren't! A busy lunch time on a Saturday afternoon may not have been the best time to attempt to fill my empty belly with the delights that Mr. FARMER offers but despite there being a queue for entry (as there usually is with such establishments) i only waited about 10-15 minutes until i was seated and ready to order. NOTE* If it's busy you will need to write your name down on a form and wait your turn to be seated as there are often many other rumbley-tummied people hoping to get their hands on delicious vegan cakes, burgers and tasty plant-based curries. I ordered the quinoa and brown rice coconut curry and as you can probably tell from the image to the right, it was DELICIOUS and full of organic and body-energizing ingredients! The curry was creamy and just the perfect amount of spicy with bamboo and aubergine (eggplant if you're from the U.S. (: ) My friend ordered the vegan burger which was also soooo yummy and came with actual roasted parsnip chips!! Parsnip is so hard to find in Japan and i missed the flavour so much so it was a lovely surprise when the burger arrived surrounded by crispy little parsnips. Mr. FARMER also offers vegan desserts and from what i could tell, the entire dessert menu was vegan! Vegan carrot cake, fruit cobbler and ice cream and raw chocolate cake were just a few of the options they offered on the day but i'm sure they have even more up their sleeves and as the season changes I'm excited to see what else they have to offer. Overall my trip to Mr. FARMER was packed full of delightful surprises and the location is so close to my usual Saturday hang-out spots that i can see myself coming here quite regularly from now on- much to the detriment of my savings I'm sure...
