• A vegetarian, vegan option in Pedasi

At last a vegan-friendly restaurant has made it to Pedasi! Alma Verde offers a selection of vegan and lacto-vegetarian selections. There are three categories on their menu: smoothies and juices, main courses, and desserts. The blended drinks are vegan, including fruit juices, veg and fruit smoothies, as well as tea and coffee. I've tried the watermelon-strawberry-mint smoothie. It was out of this world! I've also had two of the main courses. The zucchini pasta was terrific: raw zucchini,garlic,herbs, a special tomato sauce and vegan nut cheese. The buckwheat crepe meal usually comes with real goat cheese, and they may use egg in the crepe, but they made my meal without egg and substituted a cashew cheese for the goat cheese. The owners, Christian and Emily, understand veganism, so let them know about your food preferences. They offer a vegan brownie and a vegan ice cream in their desert list. I can't wait to work my way through the menu. There are a number of raw options too for raw food enthusiasts. Main courses range from $8-$12. Updated from previous review on Saturday December 13, 2014
