A notorious animal rights activist has erupted at a celebrity chef after he banned all vegans from his restaurant following an ugly spat with a customer.

Head Chef of Fyre restaurant in Perth, John Mountain, announced on Monday that “all vegans are now banned” from the restaurant.

“Sadly all vegans are now banned from Fyre (for mental health reasons),” he shared on social media.

“We thank you for your understanding. Xx.”

Vegan activist Tash Peterson, known for her public protests, told 7News the ban was a form of “discrimination”.

The chef told 7 News that he has since threatened the complainant with legal action.

“F**k vegans,” Mr Mountain said told 7News.

“I’m done. At the end of the day, it’s not what I want to do, they can f**k off.”

Mr Mountain, a celebrated chef who has worked with Marco Pierre White, said offering up “gnocchi” and “vegetables” to the customer had been his “only shortfall”.

My question is, would a vegan restaurant offer non-vegan dishes for meat eaters?

Can a person go into a vegan restaurant and order a steak?

If not, why is his stance so shocking to the vegan?
Silly outrage. I look at menu and if there is something not to my liking, I don't visit. Hundreds of restaurants serving my food of choice.
 
This is Australia, and this will be called discrimination. Instead he should have just said the restaurant sells no vegan options, and then if people come and make a scene exercise right of admittance and have them evicted. This is gonna cause far more trouble than just making it clear there is nothing there for a vegan.

It wouldn’t be a vegan restaurant then. The idea behind a vegan restaurant is that it only serves vegan options so that people don’t have to worry about what they order off the menu.

Any restaurant can serve vegan options though as there isn’t anything special about a meal not having animal derived ingredients in it.

Vegans shouldn’t be upset when going to a restaurant if it’s not advertised as vegan or having vegan options, they can go suck a lemon then.
