Restaurant Review: Tea Rose Diner – Utah
Looking for some amazing Thai in Salt Lake County? Check out Tea Rose Diner, in Murray. Swai fish stir fry, pineapple curry, veggie pad thai, sweet thai basil with tofu… fantastic! Friendly service, reasonable prices, simple ambiance. Great spot if you have both meat and veggie eaters in your party.
Restaurant Review: Bambara – Utah
Looking for a great high-end meal in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah?
Bambara is your place for sure! Small plates are piled high and main dishes will knock your socks off. Gnocchi is to-die-for-good. For the #vegan: Get gnocchi and beet salad without creme. FAB!
Restaurant Review: Taqueria 27 – Utah
Found my new fave Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake. Fresh. Bursting with flavor. Great service. Interesting daily taco special-today’s was grilled pear and beet. Make sure to try the hot sauces! Great options for the meat or veggie lover.
Restaurant Review: Blue Lemon – Utah
Biz lunch with yummy food and delish conversation at Blue Lemon.
Restaurant Review: Cannella’s – Utah
Vegan pizza… no cheese! Fun night out with my girl friends! At Cannella’s
Restaurant Review: Oasis Cafe Veggie Burger – Utah
Oasis Cafe has some of the best dishes in Salt Lake for a vegetarian or vegan. Tried their Vegetable Grain Burger for the first time. It was fabulous! Very filling, flavorful and great consistency.
Ingredients as listed on their menu: basil aioli • avocado • romaine lettuce • alfalfa sprouts • tomato • swiss cheese • whole grain bun • spinach & avocado salad.
To avoid oil and animal product, I asked for no aioli nor swiss. But I bet that’s really yummy too!
I don’t think the garden burger is on the dinner menu, so if you go for lunch try it out. Bon appetit!
Restaurant Review: Oasis Cafe – Utah
One thing I love about friends who live in another county, is the exposure to new restaurants.
Marilyn suggested that we meet at Oasis Cafe in Salt Lake for our dinner date. Yeah! An organic, vegetarian, local spot. We sat in their patio area, enjoying the mild night breeze and giggled like school girls. I love girls-night-out.
We started off with the zucchini wrapped baked tofu in marinara sauce. Holy cow was this good! I would’ve had two of them, but need to remember to order without the parmesan cheese next time. You gotta try it!
Marilyn had the famous Mediterranean Salad with grilled salmon. I snagged one of her grilled potato slices. This vegetarian salad could easily be vegan with omitting the meat and vinaigrette dressing. Looked amazing though and Marilyn says it’s her favorite.
I enjoyed the Udon Noodles with tofu. This vegan dish was really tasty with fresh crisp veggies (gave Marilyn the mushrooms). The peanut sauce was amazing! I think peanuts are God’s way of telling us He loves us. I wish the noodles were whole wheat, or preferably rice, but were quite yummy.
Thanks, Oasis for a great dinner! I’ll be back… maybe try the Med salad vegan style.
Restaurant Review: The Wild Grape
Business lunch in downtown Salt Lake area, so I invited my guest to join me at The Wild Grape. She hadn’t been before, so that was a nice bonus!
Pamela enjoyed the Beet Salad with side of grilled salmon. Love how the yellow beets are so bright and springy! She really liked the meal.
I enjoyed theGrape Salad. Their signature salad normally has an awesome honey vinaigrette, but to keep it vegan, I requested lemons instead. They provided me with steamed asparagus and broccoli rabe with garlic. This was a great vegan meal – hooray for another business lunch spot that meets my vegan preferences!
British folk love their chips, so Pamela tried a side of fries. I had a few… the salt and oil just about caused a coughing fit, but soooo good.
Restaurant Review: Wild Grape
Introducing friends to yummy restaurants is one of my favorite things to do. Fun to experience great food – especially organic and locally grown ingredients. This time, we invited Greg and Lindsey to The Wild Grape – located downtown Salt Lake. Of course, they loved it too!
Klint had the Grape salad with grilled salmon. This is his favorite dish at Wild Grape.
Jen had the Steak with lobster and asparagus. Holy cow was
this good!
Lindsey enjoyed the Mushroom risotto. It looked really cheesy and rich. Couldn’t try a bit because mushrooms are evil!
Greg had the Bison burger and fries. That’s a favorite for sure. (sorry, no picture this time)
Dessert was the Bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. So rich… really one bite is all you need!
We always recommend The Wild Grape. Great spot for lunch and dinner. Remember, if you’re going for dinner on Friday or Saturday night, call ahead for reservations. They aren’t open on Mondays.
