| - My poor intrepid steak-and-potatoes partner had to accompany me here with his friend. I don't think he was too upset by the end, as the food is quite filling and delicious. I had the Champion Wrap, which was much more spicy than I expected (possibly because I kept putting more and more of the lime-jalapeno cream on it!) and was filled with goodness.
Our friend had the Pad Thai, which she generously shared with us both. I'm not sure what the crunchy bits were, but they added quite a bit of interest. I'm a lover of raw food, so it was tasty and interesting (recipe, please?).
My intrepid partner had the dahl, which he said was good, but could have been warmer (the problem with raw or mostly raw food, especially when the temperature outside is well below freezing).
We also had gluten-free beers brewed in Quebec that were actually quite good. We had the IPA style.
To top everything else, she insisted that I have a dessert to celebrate my then-passed birthday, so (at the server's suggestion) we had the banana split. Who knew that something vegan could be so good. The split had the requisite bananas topped with three scoops of "ice-cream" (cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla), surrounded with vegan (raw?) brownie bits and topped with a raspberry coulis. Can I tell you? This was one of the most delicious desserts I have ever had.
I was surprised that the restaurant had the lime-jalapeno cream, then even more surprised that the "ice cream" included cinnamon! This was the kind of surprise that warms a Texan's heart - at least the heart of a Texan who loves her jalapenos, mexican cinnamon ice cream, and has a love-affair with vegan, raw and vegetarian foods. Quebec, who knew? I wish we had a Crudessence in Texas. Bring one to Austin - please?
