| - This place gets lots of stars just for being what it is... the rarest of the rare (literally). A raw restaurant is such an amazing thing to find, and in Pittsburgh no less!
Though Eden isn't 100% raw, a good portion of the menu is. And, it is all vegan. I actually ordered from the "hot" portion of the menu. I don't eat raw as a rule, and I'm not insane. Unfortunately, my Mom was insane and, never having before tried raw, she ordered the "pierogi" special. Even my friend who goes back and forth between raw and strict vegan ordered from the "hot" menu. Oops. Well luckily, my Mom isn't reviewing Eden.
Raw food is for people who eat raw. And, considering how small the raw foodie population is, the "hot" menu is great for everyone else! My two friends and I ordered the "Creamy Green Bean Noodles". MMMmmmmm! So good! The noodles tasted just like rice vermicelli to me (but they aren't and they're healthier - score!). The broth was SO GOOD! We followed up with a dessert - the strawberry shortcake. It was super tasty.
Eden would get 5 stars, but they were out of a good portion of the menu (3 regular items and 2 of the 4 desserts), and my party felt really rushed at the end. For the price we paid for veggies, and I know they are gourmet veggies but it is still pricey, I would have loved to not watch the kitchen clean up and cooks leave out the front as we were trying to enjoy our desserts.
