RAW VEGAN REVIEW
Read moreIt is possible to eat a raw vegan meal at Piada through the Create Your Own option. There are a variety of raw vegan greens and toppings. There appear to be raw vegan dressings as well, but I opted for a lemon squeeze. There is an extra charge for half an avocado. I found the portion size to be smaller than other similar salad/bowl restaurants, but the price is also less. I am disappointed from a sustainability standpoint because salads only come in clear plastic.
POWER BOWL REVIEW
The Power Bowl was wonderful, and somehow stood apart taste-wise (in a good way) from other restaurants that also craft fresh salads and bowls. It has a harissa grain blend as the base, with hummus, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet corn & tomato, roasted broccoli, cucumber salad, pickled red onions and a vegan yogurt harissa. It was served warm and was very good, but like most salad meals I was hungry a couple of hours later. It’d be nice if there was a plant-based protein available.
VEGAN OPTIONS
There are basically 2 vegan options: Order the “Power Bowl” which is vegan as-is or choose the “Create Your Own” option and then make a salad or pasta bowl and customize it with toppings and sauces.
The website Nutrition page includes allergens as well as a column specifying vegan and vegetarian options.
Research about vegan options is required beforehand if ordering online since the website ordering page does not have vegan labeling.
There are small menu signs inside the restaurant (along the ordering line) that specify vegan ingredients.
