Review of Grezzo Restaurant

I stopped by Boston on my way to visit the Berkshire Mountains this past week and of course I wanted to check out Grezzo, Alissa Cohen's raw restaurant in Boston. When I first walked into the restaurant I was impressed with how cozy and vibrant it felt. It is a smaller sized restaurant with beautiful vibrant pictures on the wall of various fruits. While looking at the menu I had a hard time deciding on what to get. It all looked delicious. I started with a spring mix salad that was very good and had dollops of raw cheeze on the side. To drink I had cranberry lemonade which is a combination I hadn't thought of yet but will definitely try making at home. Then I had the bacon wrap which I enjoyed! The wrap was made out of flax seeds and various seasonings, the bacon was made out of eggplant and it was also filled with a cashew based cream cheeze, lettuce, tomato and avocado. The eggplant bacon on its own tasted a bit too salty for me but altogether everything tasted great. On the side there were potato and sweet potato chips which I enjoyed. For dessert I had the apple crisp with clove ice cream on the side. The apples were sliced very thinly which made for a nice aesthetic appeal. I loved the clove ice cream as well! Together with the clove ice cream it was a delicious dessert! If I get a chance to go again I want to try the brownie sundae which many customers ordered and looked amazing!
I fell off of the raw wagon last week while visiting in the Berkshire mountains at Kripalu. It is hard because in my head I feel that eating raw food is best for vibrant health but I still struggle with tempting vegan dishes that are cooked. I also have problems staying raw when I am traveling because I don't have all of my favorite go to raw places to rely on. Anyways, I am back on raw again and loaded up a ton of fruits and veggies for the week with a focus on whole fruits and veggies and I didn't buy any nuts this week or dried fruits. I am planning on making a chocoalte mint pudding this week.
