Anyone know where some are? For Mother's Day I would like to go to one... cause let's face it... it's supposed to be 'all about me' LOL

It'll be worth the long drive IMO!

So... anyone know where they are and which one is the best?

The only ones I know about are in this link here:

I would love to hear if there are any others out there!

Anita, have you been to any of them? I know about that list but honestly it doesn't say they are "raw" restaurants which is what I'm looking for. I don't want to travel 2 hours each way for a salad :P I want something amazing!

No, I have not. And I agree with you, which I guess is why I haven't made the effort to go check them out. its on my to do list for this summer when my kids are out of school. We will visit them all and make a report!

You could always come see me in Deep Cove and I'll uncook you a wonderful meal!:D

Gorilla Foods - 422 Richards

It's not a sit down restaurant (but the owner is opening one down the street pretty soon). The food is amazing. It's just a little take out window but you can go have a picnic somewhere.

Or you could go to Eternal Abundance on commercial drive which is a fruit market but they have a booth where you can get juices, green smoothies, and some raw dishes like zughetti, gazpacho ...

No.. unfortunately no sit down restaurants yet.. Aaron (the owner of Gorilla Foods) is just going through with the final inspections and everything until his restaurant is ready. It won't be too much longer. I would highly recommend his takeout window for now though. His food is amazing.

that's sooooooo far for me to go though... and not have a sit down meal. all the way to richards would be closer to 3 hours each way *eek*

Oh! That is far! Where are you? How far would it be for you to drive to Seattle? There are sooo many places there!

But then again, if it is a nice sunny day, you could always take the food with you to Stanley Park and have it there?

during the summer that would be perfect but right now... the weather sucks :( (as you know)

seattle is about the same distance as vancouver for us. but then we have to deal with the border.

Blech.. yeah.. but the weather has been nice lately.. and apparently it will be a sunny weekend!

How about getting your family to just make you a nice big raw meal right at home!? :D
