Port Douglas’ first plant based Asian fusion restaurant — Bam Pow — has opened and lived up to its name, according to its owners.
The restaurant has been open for a month and has a driving focus on freshness and creating a relaxed atmosphere, co-owner Ethan Willard said.
He is a chef and said he was trying to create a menu that appealed to a broad market.
“We steer away from vegan food that tastes vegan. This food is plant based and fresh and just tastes delicious … it doesn’t taste like what it’s not,” he said.
The venue is licenced and will soon feature a list of wines and Japanese beers both on tap and in bottles.
Mr Willard and his partner have had a successful plant based business in the past in Victoria, closing it only to start Bam Pow in Port Douglas.
“We’re a tight knit staff of five that are all very eager and passionate to get our food out there,” he said.
Bam Pow on Davidson St is open Wednesday to Sunday.
