It has been very hot in Florida lately and the rain just isn’t stopping. Without the ocean breeze the forecast should just say “sweat, try to breath or go to the beach”. So J and are on our way up to the mountains after a busy 3 day work stop in Atlanta. Our final destination will be Asheville, NC but will make some other stops along the trip. Our goal is to do some bike riding, hiking, and check out the local scenery. My vegan food list will be shorter this trip because of the many places to dine! After a quick check on HappyCow.net I’ve noticed a few listings of places with veg options so we shall see how well they accommodate. Some of the reviews are older so we will also rely on some suggestions from our hosts. I’ll be looking for the words “vegan options” or an * on the menu first. Then I’ll ask the typical questions and post their answers, photos and reviews after we return. A few resturants we want to visit 8/10 – 8-13 are:
- Rosetta’s Kitchen
- Laughing Seed Cafe
- Firestorm Cafe
- The Green Sage (maybe)
Check back mid August for an updated post. Please email me if you have any suggestions.
9/30/09 – We did get to visit some of these restaurants but need to go back before I review them in detail. For instance we ate at Laughing Seed for lunch and it was great. When we brought guests for dinner on a Saturday night our service was horrible. A busy night is no excuse for poor service and cold food. I didn’t have a meal at Rosetta’s Kitchen but their peanut butter chocolate cake was the best I’ve had in a long time. It was moist and not too sweet. I loved their casual menu so we will definitely dine there and order take out. Bottom line I don’t think it is fair to write a review based on one or two meals. I love being a traveling vegan so we have another trip planned to Asheville during the 2′nd half of October. I will post another update and photos as we revisit these restaurants and those labeled as vegan friendly.
