• Wild Seed!

I love Happy Cow. I had to run to Ikea in Burlington today and even though I have searched for places to eat in Burlington before and found nothing, today I noticed a new raw vegan restaurant listed called Wild Seed. Fast forward a couple of hours and I had eaten half of the menu and had great conversations with the owners, brothers Pete and George, about everything from veganism, to music, to the challenges of opening a small business and where to find a accordion style locking door. Some of my favorite meals have been at raw restaurants, W.O.W. in Guelph comes to mind, but this is legitimately the first time I have walked away from a raw restaurant not only satisfied with the food and the service, but I was also FULL!!! That is no small feat! Another relief was the affordability of all the food. For the most part you get what you pay for at a raw restaurant, but even the high end at Wild Seed is $12.50, and believe me you get a full serving! Even though I had a perfect restaurant experience, I would hesitate to call the restaurant perfect, if only because of all the great ideas that Peter has in his head to improve the restaurant ( this makes me excited to go back! ). If you aren't sold yet, picture the largest bowl of delicious live nacho's you have ever seen and a slice of raw chocolate cheesecake that will make you entirely forget you are eating food that is actually good for you! Verdict: GO TO BURLINGTON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
