Our Picks
We wanted to let you know about our favourite places to go when we go to a raw restaurant. Make sure you check these places out when you are in town!
Andrew's favorites
Borrowed Earth Cafe
Borrowed Earth in Downer’s Grove, IL was the first raw restaurant I ever visited. I got to go because I was visiting my grandparents who live only about a half hour away. It’s right across from the train station so you can just jet over there from Chicago without having to drive. It’s a cute little place with outdoor seating. But the thing you will remember most is the food. Oh. My. Gosh. The food is AMAZING. And there’s soooo much of it! When I went, I got the pizza, and it was amazing. And the give you two or three little side salads, each crafted with a different base and different seasonings. It’s a very full plate! And then I got the cheesecake (all of this is raw vegan of course). It was so good I could only eat about a third of it in a sitting, so I took the rest home.
Luna’s Living Kitchen
Luna’s in Charlotte, NC is a little spot in a mall on the south side. It’s so cool because they have kombucha brewing and dehydrators drying right there on the shelves. I’ve been there several times and each time I’ve been delighted with my order. One of my favourite things is their granola. It’s so delicious! ^_^ I also had their Tree of Life drink one time. It’s very nutrifying! I can taste the nutrition going into my body! It’s really a place where you will want to try all of the delicious raw fare!
Quintessence
Quintessence is the cream of the crop. It’s just a little nook in the wall in NYC, but it’s certainly worth going there. I stopped there a couple years ago on my way to Boston, and it was so good that I stopped there again on my way back! On the way up I got the tostadas. They were so crunchy! I’ve also had their raw vegan Italian sausage pizza. It was absolutely delicious! When you go to the restaurant, just close your eyes and set your finger on a random entrée. I guarantee you that you will *not* be disappointed.
