Date: April 14, 2008 08:03PM For everyone raw/raw-curious (I'm coining that...) in the Toronto area, I checked out the newly-opened Rawlicious today.
It was FRESH and delicious!! The atmosphere was very cozy, lots of comfy chairs and shiny pillows. There were a lot of juices, smoothies, and teas on the menu, salads, wraps, zucchini noodles, snacks, and desserts. The place had a very high-energy vibe, lots of love, and everyone was super nice. I just recently went to Live the other week, too, and this place was a lot more interactive. The layout is designed to be interactive, which is very cool. Everybody was talking with each other. There's also apparently an energy healer who visits several times a month, and does work above the restaurant. It was my first time talking to raw foodists outside the internet. too. :O I'd definitely recommend it to anyone passing by. =) Re: Rawlicious

Date: April 17, 2008 03:01PM We went to Rawlicious twice last week and the food is divine! It will be on my must visit list every time I go to Toronto (often). Their wraps were my favourite and I love that they had so much texture. They also have a miso soup with clear raw kelp noodles which are really interesting. I need to find a source for them to buy for home. Really interesting and a replacement for clear glass noodles if you know what they are.
They also have some yummy chocolates for dessert. I adored them. Re: Rawlicious

Date: April 17, 2008 06:41PM I've never been to a raw restaurant are they mostly stale raw ? I like to peel or cut my raw foods fresh but if they make things fresh on the spot then I would like to try one. Re: Rawlicious

Date: April 17, 2008 08:09PM I've been to a few raw restaurants. I would say that they mostly have lots of good fresh options, but tend toward a gourmet over-reliance on nuts and seeds. For example, the signature dish at Pure Food and Wine in NYC is their lasagna, which I've made at home several times. It's primarily made with fresh ingredients (zucchini, tomato, basil), but between the pine nut ricotta cheese, pistachio-basil pesto, and olive oil used in other places in the recipe, it's far from low fat. Dehydrated foods are almost guaranteed to be on the menu, but will be completely avoidable. Juices and/or smoothies, salads and other very fresh dishes will be available, but you may have to skip the main entrée list, which will probably be designed for the tastes of SAD eaters.

Date: April 18, 2008 02:21PM Rawlicious was a lot less nut-heavy/gourmet-flashy than Live. I love both places. The cheesecake at Live was mystifying, but probably nothing but raw fat and sugar: the cheesecake at Live tasted like something I could make myself in my own blender, but with a bit of nuts, simpler ingredients, easier to digest. Mmmmmm.
Maybe I'll go down to Toronto my next day off. <3 Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
