Raw in England

[daisyduke]

Hey there
I will be traveling to England in the middle of July. Just wondering if there are any good organic food markets or raw restaurants. I've heard that Vitaorganic has some raw dishes. Has anyone ever been there? Thanks!

I'm sure some of our friends across the "pond" will pipe in. Lucky you! Enjoy!

Hey DaisyDuke,

I have been to VitaOrganic in Feb, make sure you go at night as in the day they just have a very limited salad bar, great juices but no feature raw dishes until night time. It wasn't my fav. raw food resturant but still worth checking out.

I love fresh and wild, it is owned by whole foods, great grocery store.

I have chocolate from Shazzie delivered to my hotel room as she is so close.

There is one other raw resturant I checked out and really liked but I can't seem to find the name or location and I don't member...it is downtown too though I sure you can find it online.

If I remember I will post it!

Have fun!!
