| - I've been meaning to try Luna's for the longest time. It has been literally months of anticipation! I'm somewhat of a health nut (that LOVES food) and it's kinda difficult to cook/find good, healthy food. I stumbled upon Luna's through yelp. The beautiful presentation displayed amongst the pictures convinced me that I HAVE to try this place.
Sundays are normally my only free days. This is when I transform into a food wanderer, determined to venture on a food-discovering conquest. Sadly, Luna's is closed on Sundays (which I've forgotten on SEVERAL occasions). Luckily, I was able to take a weekday off work and decided to check out Luna's for lunch. The location was somewhat difficult to find. If it is your first time coming here, just turn into "Icehouse" (where the Atherton Mill and Market parking lot is) and go to the end. Luna's will be on your left.
As we approached the restaurant, I see patio seating. It was such a beautiful day outside so we had to take advantage of the fresh air. I spotted several kids and toddlers in our neighboring tables. Luna's seems like a good, healthy place to take the family for a lovely lunch. The vibe is very relaxed/casual. I definitely got the raw/organic feel (even the soap is all natural!)
Enough of my rambling.. onto the food! We ordered the Living Burrito and the Fire & Brimstone Veggie Burger. Both came with extensive salads consisting of a variety of local greens, cherry tomatoes, strings of carrots, sprouts, etc. The Veggie Burger was made from quinoa and surprisingly, VERY flavorful and filling! The best part of the Living Burrito has to be the homemade hot sauce. No matter what you order on the menu, you HAVE to ask for this hot sauce! Guess what we poured all over the Veggie Burger? HOT SAUCE! Overall, the meal was beautifully displayed and enticing to my taste buds. Instead of feeling sluggish and the normal drift into a food coma after a meal, I felt energized and ready to take over the world. I definitely recommend giving Luna's a try. You will not be disappointed!
OH.. I almost forgot the smoothie! We tried the "Pinko Drinko" which consists of orange, berries, banana, acai, bee pollen, lemonade and ginger. I have horrible allergies this year so I figure something with bee pollen will be helpful. The ginger added a little kick to every sip. I definitely have to try another smoothie next time I'm here. Most likely, the Avocolada! It's basically a pina-colada.. WITH AVOCADO! Sounds like the best of my smoothie-loving world.
