Frankie & Benny’s has announced a new standalone vegan menu that features starters, mains and delectable desserts.
Frankie & Benny’s is set to welcome Veganuary with 8 new dishes that the restaurant is adding to its existing vegan offerings. From January 2, the restaurant will offer over 30 vegan dishes on its menu.
“We have added 8 new vegan dishes to the menu for January, bringing the total number of vegan dishes to 30 and it now stands as a menu on its own,” said the company’s spokesperson to Vegan Food & Living.
Speaking about the menu the spokesperson explained that the new dishes “not only reflect their Italian American heritage” but also “appeal to the flavours and dishes that the vegan guests are looking for.”
Starters
The Italian restaurant chain will introduce Vegan Loaded Skins, a baked dish with potato skins stuffed with red pepper, olive and sundried tomato, and seasoned with vegan cheese and vegan mayo.
The other dish includes the mini deep-fried Mushroom Ravioli filled with Porcini mushrooms, spinach, dairy-free cheese and garlic and served with spicy Arrabiatta sauce.
Main meal
The main course includes a vegan sausage with fried onions and vegan mayonnaise and a rich lentil and soy mince.
The Rigatoni Ragu bake with tomato, grilled red pepper, red wine, fennel & thyme with rigatoni pasta and creamy vegan béchamel is another tantalizing addition to Frankie & Benny’s vegan menu.
The chain is also introducing its first vegan calzone stuffed with roasted peppers, courgette, soy protein, Neapolitan tomato sauce, vegan cheese and basil.
Sweet treats
Frankie & Benny’s new desserts include a mouthwatering Chocolate & Raspberry Lava Cake with a scoop of vegan choc-chip ice cream and an Apple Crumble garnished with vegan oats and served with dairy-free ice-cream.
“With veganism showing no sign of slowing down, creating more choice and catering for different occasions is key – from the quintessentially Italian American plantballs, to a salad with interesting tastes and textures or an unbelievably creamy cheesecake, we’re hoping to show that there is no need for compromise when it comes to vegan food. All vegan mains will be available with 50% off mains,” added the company representative.
