• Gluten-Free, Organic, Sprouted & Vegan! Yay!

I visit Novato about every four weeks to make my Wild Birds Unlimited birdseed run. I usually end up down in Corte Madera and treat myself to some vegan fast food at Veggie Grill. This time around, thanks to Happy Cow, I found this little raw restaurant right in Novato. It isn't located in downtown Novato, in fact, the shopping center it's located in is a bit no frills. But parking was easy and there was no line in the restaurant. The interior was just like so many of the raw restaurants that I have visited. Unglamorous and no frills. But once I began eating my delicious, raw lunch, none of that mattered! The veggie wrap with cashew nut cheez, carrots, celery, kale, sprouts and sunflower seeds was delicious and I could feel the nutrients coursing through my body almost as soon as I started chewing. My husband gave me a taste of his veggie burger made with sunflower seeds that was just as delicious. They also offer sweet or savory crepes that I plan on trying on my next visit to Marin. Juices, smoothies, a daily soup and detoxing cleanses are some of the other options on the menu. Oh, and the desserts are amazing! I devoured the raw coconut pie and my husband loved his raw pumpkin pie. The restaurant has only 2 small tables inside and 2 outside so don't plan on bringing a big group with you. They do have a take out menu. I plan to support this restaurant whenever I am in Marin.
