| - Las Vegas vegans and vegetarians ("v&vs") are nuts for Red Velvet Café. Given my experience that v&vs think any place that has more than one vegan-friendly option is "amazing," I went in thinking this place would be completely overrated and serve incredibly bland food. I was wrong.
Red Velvet Cafe has a wide variety of vegan options, but there is plenty of meat on the menu, as well. And most importantly, the restaurant understands that v&v food doesn't automatically have to be tasteless raw food. The group I went with had the buffalo chicken wrap with an excellent, spicy buffalo sauce, fresh ingredients and a quality piece of chicken; a hot, cheezy vegan panini which was loaded with faux turkey (actually pretty substantial and tasty), cheeze (a.k.a. fake cheese that actually melts, which if you have ever been subjected to vegan cheeze, is a pleasant surprise) and delicious bread with deep panini-style grill lines.
But why are we discussing dinner? The place is named for its red velvet cake, and for good cause. It's the best red velvet I've ever had-moist and delicious with the perfect frosting (not too sugary, but sweet enough).
