| - This is the first time i ever went to a pure vegan restaurant. As a person who loves to eat meat, I wasn't too sure if i can handle vegan food, but since a good friend wanted me to try, I decided to go.
Rawlicious Markham is located on markham main street and on a Wednesday night (Day after Canada Day), the street was really dead, so I managed to find a parking spot just on the street, otherwise, there are lots of parking behind the restaurant.
The moment I walked in, i felt very comfortable because the setting of the restaurant reminds me of a coffee shop and the waitress immediately greeted me with a big smile. Tables are all made of wood to create a very natural and relaxing environment.
We ordered Green Apple Juice, Nori Rolls, Taco Wrap, Soft Taco with Side Salad, Mint Chocolate Ice Cream and Cheesecake. They all tasted great, but I especially loved the Nori Rolls and the Taco Wrap as I really enjoyed them although I have never ate this much vegetables in one meal!! The Mint Chocolate Ice Cream was delicious and special, because the owner said they do not use milk or regular sugar, everything is made with "health" in mind and I was quite surprised with how good the ice cream was!
The Taco Wrap is actually wrapped in a BIG collard leaf, with seasoned nut loaf, guacamole, romaine lettuce, salsa & almond nut cheese.
If you don't mind the slight premium on vegan food, this is a place you MUST visit, even for a person like me that likes his meat, I still don't mind coming here for a meal twice or three times a week!
