I had the luxury of meeting a friend for lunch earlier this month at Real Food Daily. I have only been once before for dinner and really liked it. I own Ann Gentry's (the restaurant owner) cookbook, Vegan Family Meals, a gem in my kitchen. For lunch, I went to the West Hollywood location and was so excited to be able to choose anything from the menu. (I still get giddy when I go to an all vegan restaurant). Here's the info.
Info: 414 N. La Cienega, Los Angeles, http://realfood.com, (310) 289-9910; They also have Santa Monica and Pasadena locations.
Setting: Modern and casual
Service: Super nice. Everyone there is smiley and helpful.
Kids menu: Very kid friendly
Prices: Starters $8-10; Salads $12-14; Sandwiches $11-14; They also serve smoothies, shakes and breakfast!
What we ordered: Since taking my macrobiotic cooking class last month, I have been eating a lot more macro, so I want with the Real Food Deal, which was a macro bowl, filled with beans, greens, pickled veggies, steamed veggies, sea vegetables and brown rice. I chose the tahini sauce on top. It was divine - so nurturing and satisfying (I am still dreaming of that bowl...) It came with miso soup (best I have ever had) and homemade corn bread (wow!). If I wasn't going macro that day, I would have chosen the Tu-Nut sandwich (tuna style sandwich made with nuts).
For dessert, we shared the Coconut Moonpie. This was amazing. I want it every week!
This restaurant is definitely going on the rotation. Try it out and let me know what you think.
