Summer is in full force here in Texas. That means hot weather, dips at Barton Springs, and a desire to have a refreshing meal that’s going to cool you off.

What are your favorite restaurants for summer noshing? Leave in the comments your faves and don’t forget to leave a review for them on HappyCow<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pure Food and Wine<\/a>
\n54 Irving Place (at 17th & 18th St, Midtown, Manhattan)
\nNew York City,\u00a0New York\u00a010003
\n212-477-1010<\/p>\n

Though Pure Food and Wine is on the expensive side their exquisite raw food and garden patio make it a perfect spot for a summer evening meal. Maybe you want to impress your date or you want to pull up a seat at the bar for a special organic sake cocktail made with fresh fruit after a hard day. Either way you will enjoy your time at Pure Food and Wine.<\/p>\n

\"Daily<\/p>\n

Daily Juice Cafe<\/a>
\n4500 Duval St (at 45th St)
\nAustin,\u00a0Texas\u00a078751
\n512-380-9046<\/p>\n

This cafe is all raw and vegan and is the perfect place in Austin to grab a juice, smoothie, or light meal after a run around Lady Bird Lake. They also have the most divine raw desserts and chocolates seen in the photo above. If it’s not too hot you can take a seat on the patio with your Pineapple Popeye juice filled with pineapple, spinach, parsley, celery, lemon, and himalayan salt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fresh<\/a> (3 locations)
\n147 Spadina Avenue (at 1\/2 block south of Queen Street West)
\nToronto,\u00a0Ontario\u00a0M5V2L7
\n416-599-4442<\/p>\n

Boasting three locations across Toronto, Fresh is known for it’s healthy yet belly-pleasing food. Their menu is quite extensive with starters, salads, burgers, wraps and fresh bowls. A great place for a quick bite, but it may be hard to choose what you want for your meal. Wash it all down with a power smoothie, fresh juice, or an immune elixir.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(photo by wtfveganfood.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Cafe 118<\/a>
\n153 E Morse Blvd
\nWinter Park,\u00a0Florida\u00a032789
\n407-389-2233<\/p>\n

Cafe 118 is an all vegan, raw cafe that is one of a kind in Orlando Florida. I’ve been told that the chile relleno is out of this world. One HappyCow reviewer had never been to a raw restaurant before and raved about the food and the ambiance. The whole menu looks divine especially the Shiitake Mushroom Lasagna and the Chocolate Hazelnut Tart with Macaroon Crust.<\/p>\n

\"Borrowed<\/p>\n

Borrowed Earth Cafe<\/a>
\n970 Warren Ave (at downtown Downers Grove)
\nDowners Grove,\u00a0Illinois\u00a060515
\n630-795-1729<\/p>\n

Borrowed Earth is an all vegan, organic, and 99% gluten-free cafe that has raw versions of all your favorite foods like burgers, tacos, pizza, burritos, and tamales. The owners are very eco-friendly using no VOC paint, installing bamboo flooring, and using biodegradable containers. They also host cooking classes in raw food preparation! This is definitely a diamond in the rough outside of Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
