| - I'm not vegan or even vegetarian. In fact, I have no desire to permanently replace real meat with a tofu steak or tempeh.However a lot of the gluten free restos in this city are also vegan, and vegetarian and Fresh just happens to be up the street form the bf's house, so I've had it on a couple of occasions.
Last night I was looking for a place to have dinner that was yummy and near-by, most importantly I wanted a meal that would satisy my hunger without guilt or added inches to my hips... so off to Fresh we went. The memory of the warm, delicious warrior bowl I had the last time still lingered fresh in my mind, so I got it again. My dinner companion got the Kathmadu wrap with fries and avocado dip. And what a dissapointment the whole meal was.
I don't know if it was because we got there rather late (9pm) but it was almost like they ran out of curry sauce and veg stew for my bowl. So all I was really left with was a heap of rice and wilted spinach. The fries were soggy and super oily and in desperate need of a little salt. The wrap was good, not great. A little too moist, I took one bite and ended up with juice and sauce? running down my hands. We wanted something sweet after dinner so we got two cupcakes, one choc filled with vanilla, and a choc-mint one. I had a bite of each and they were both good. Then again, I have the biggest sweet tooth ever and would eat poison if it was labeled "candy".
Also, the bowls are huge. I can eat a third of one, maybe half if Im really starving...so if you're a girl then maybe the "baby bowl" options are a better choice. I find that regardless of the size of the bowls, the food is overpriced. The meal cost us about $40 and we didnt even get drink.
I'll probaly return to fresh only because I really want to try their mushroom burger. The girl on the table beside me was eating it and it took all I had not to ask her to trade her dinner with mine. Her burger just looked so much better!
