“ In fact , we ’ ve removed all pork products off the menu , and every menu across all restaurants and bars in the Ovolo Group is 50 % or more vegetarian-friendly ,” Lombino says . Ovolo goes one step further : The Alibi Bar & Kitchen at Ovolo Woolloomooloo in Sydney is 100 % plantbased . The company introduced Veda , a vegetarian haven at Ovolo Central , and Za Za Ta , a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean blend at Ovolo The Valley .
The Hyatt Regency Dallas introduced more than 15 vegan menu items across its daily menus at marquee restaurant Centennial in November . Culinary corporate management trainee Tiffany Pineda , who lives a vegan lifestyle , was tapped to develop it . Pineda , now a sous chef at the hotel , says it was her first menu development of this scale .
