Throw out any ideas you have about snacking on carrot sticks and gnawing on trail mix as a concession to raw food, because Cruda is definitely a raw taste sensation!
They're tucked away in the basement of the St Lawrence Market, but the couple of times i've been there's been at least a couple of other people waiting for orders there with me so I don't think the location is hurting them. (It is a bit of a pain due to lack of seating in busier times though).
I've tried a variety of things here now, and I feel confident in recommending it as the nicest raw food i've had in Toronto. When last I visited I tried the (amazing!) raw pizza and with that and the gorgeous greens accompanying it, each bite was a burst of freshness and flavour. Fresh juices abound & there's a nice variety of raw desserts (the chocolate mousse tart is a delicious adventure in cocoa and avocado love). Even the salads are chock full of goodies and made interesting!
Raw food establishments tend to be on the pricey side due to the ingredients (lotsa nuts 'n' seeds) and prep time and effort needed; this holds me back from a 5 star experience, however. I generally don't eat out at raw restaurants much, but all things considered, Cruda makes it all taste worthwhile.
