Have you been to the Cru raw restaurant in LA? I’m dying to go there when we move to California. I saw a picture of the Chocolate Brownie A La Mode in the Get Fresh magazine, and it looked amazing. Now I’m wondering have you tried that? Looks really good.
RawKidChef, I have not yet tried the brownie dessert—I have had their ice cream. I will go have the brownie in honor of you and report back! Have you looked at their whole menu yet? It’s at http://www.crusilverlake.com/menu.html.
the chorizo sausage looks amazing…what a great idea! i never thought of wrapping a spicy nut meat in zucchini to make sausage rolls. definitely something to experiment with.
(1) It’s a lovely restaurant with a thoughtful menu including a few vegan items for your nonraw friends.
(2) raviolis.
(3) Chocolate fudge cake.
(4) They will make hot drinks “raw” by request. My fave is the yummy hot choco.
(5) Chorizo sausage.
(6) Now open for lunch Fridays & Saturdays.
(7) Mezze platter.
(8) I particularly appreciate that the focus is on the dining experience and it does not over-strive to be a restaurant/kitchen supplies store/cafe/juice bar/bookstore/pantry.

haven’t tried it yet, but i’m sure it’s great! i have tried leaf cuisine in culver city, though, and liked it. that was my first raw meal, actually!
Yes—Cru is right in my neighborhood and it is fantastic. My favorite thing there is the Thai red curry dish with coconut noodles—completely amazing.
Audrey, have you tried the chocolate brownie dessert with ice cream? That coconut noodle thing sounds wonderful!
