So some of the friends and I tried a new place for dinner the other night, Sage's Cafe. It's a restaurant that several of my friends and co-workers have raved about, that just happens to cater to Vegans and Vegetarians, and lovers of fresh, locally grown organic products. And since I'm all about the veggies anymore, it has peaked my interest. So I was thrilled to be able to go there the other night, and even more thrilled that A - I was able to find it (as the entrance is rather hidden from view), and B - that the food was fabulous.
I'd been perusing their menu for a couple of weeks, and knew at first glance what I would order. There are probably four foods that will get me every single time - avocado, pesto, artichokes, and hummus. And since this dish had 3 out of the 4, how could I not be swayed by their "Guac-n-Roll" burger, a burger made with cashews, almonds, garbanzo beans (there's the hummus), and topped with pesto and guacamole. And it was DIVINE! Apparently the majority of my friends had thought the same, as 4 out of 5 of us chose the same thing.
As the evening was in celebration of last month's birthday, we also ordered a dessert to share - a brownie sundae. The brownie was homemade, gluten-free, and topped with vegan vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Word to the wise - vegan means they don't do dairy. So our ice cream did not have the same creamy texture you might expect. But it was still tasty, and flavored with real vanilla bean. YUM!
Looking at the rest of their menu, there is nothing they offer that does not sound fabulous. I'm pretty much going to have to go back, so I can try everything. I can't wait!
