• Fantastic fresh raw cuisine.

We have now been living in Phoenix for about 3 years, and finally got out to Chef Sara's in Cave Creek, and the long wait was worth it. As long-term vegans, we aren't really into eating fried vegan food, or prepackaged vegan meat products accompanied with some actual cooking, and to our delight, none of that was present on the menu. What we did get was a wonderful raw meal starting with the Rawgasmic Sandwich, this was fantastic. My partner and I ate it up instantly, and would have shared another one easily. The gluten-free raw vegan bread they make is wonderful, and the combination of seasonings and fresh ingredients including sprouts, bell peppers, zucchini, etc...worked very well in this dish. We also ordered two cold teas, not sweetened, I had the ginger tea and it was fantastic, the perfect brew for a warm October day. Then we shared a serving of the Ravioli meal, stuffed with pesto and spinach in young coconut crepes, these were also fantastic. I can't pick a winner, between the Ravioli and Rawgasmic Sandwich, try or share both when you go. After that we shared the Happy Cow Burger, 3 on pumpernickel bread and 3 on onion bread. We did 3 served Italian style and 3 served Mediterranean style. These were similar to the Rawgasmic Sandwich, but I enjoyed the seasonings and ingredients used in the Rawgasmic Sandwich more, and enjoyed the Italian style more. I did love the pumpernickel and onion breads, they were also fantastic. We took home some desserts, wasn't thrilled with the desserts, I think there are others in the Phoenix metro-area doing better tasting desserts at the moment, but if you enjoy raw, healthy, slightly sweetened desserts, then you'll be pleased. Outside of the great food, Chef Sara herself is a great host, wonderful energy, full of knowledge and passion, and the restaurant is located in Cave Creek. A very beautiful town, nestled among hills and small mountains. The outdoor patio in the back of Chef's Sara is a wonderful place to enjoy the view on a nice day.
