| - I have been always wanted to go to an organic raw food restaurant. Moment was right when we celebrated our friends Bacelorette party in Live Organic Food Bar. Our table of 6 was the only table busy at 1 PM. Later few other tables become occupied.
Nice server came to take our order of drinks and later delivered water for those who didn't have anything. We got to try our friends smoothies and teas, which tasted fresh, energizing and smooth.
Menu was short and sweet. Something for big hunger and a small snack. I felt hungry and went for the TRAINERS BOWL. I think I made the best choice, as I had plenty of food, it tasted so good and it lasted for long. It had fresh salad, tempura, tofu, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, beans, quinoa and something which I am probably forgetting. It all came with a nice almond dipping sauce. It was warm and a true comfort food. I was so happy that I made the choice of this $15 bowl. I am used to much cheaper meals, and we always share, but this was totally worthy of the price. I heard that Woody Harrelson is the fan of this place and I imagined him enjoying this :))
If you are thinking of sunshine wrap, then be aware that this is not half as filling as any of the hot bowls. It is good, but not enough food to kill the hunger. It looks good and tastes again fresh, smooth and energizing.
Of course a nice meal ends with a nice dessert. We found varieties of different mock Nanaimo bars. Original is my favourite, at Raw we could choose from three different kinds. We had strawberry and mint bars. Mind that the strawberry one is much sweeter and nicer than mint one. I definitely was missing stevia or maple syrup or whatever they are using to sweeten their pastry....but I kept in mind that this was the healthiest bar I have ever eaten :)
There are not many places where to enjoy raw food in Toronto. After being to Live Organic Food bar, I can definitey recommend this. This is a lovely spot and the food takes care of your body. Peace, love, happiness...and Live Organic Food Bar :)
