Who could have guessed i would have the most AUTHENTIC mushroom burger with homemade guacamole at a raw VEGAN restaurant!


I went to the North end for lunch with a relative from Boston, Donna. Although Donna was a native of Boston, We were both trying this restaurant for the first time. Unlike Donna, i have never been introduced to a raw vegan restaurant before. Although a bit hesitant, i figured i was a vegetarian and could take whatever wild entree the restaurant located on 69 Prince Street had to offer.

Grezzo is the the vegan restauarnt we went to. This was an dining afternoon i had never experienced before. First of all, i could have ordered ANYTHING on the menu (this is the first time EVER). 

Everything was unique to the original recipe. Just simply, sitting in the small box that was decorated with flavorful decor, we were able to grasp the history of the restaurant and understand the reason for being Vegan and how our meals were "cooked." 

The servers gave a description of the meals that we ordered
TO name a few... the popular falafel, sea salad with wasabi vinaigrette, and my favorite the BROWNIE SUNDAE. I was impressed with everything that came out on the plate in front of my dining guest and myself.

Although we did not order wine or cocktails, Grezzo offered an array of whites and reds as well as homemade organic cocktails with sake and other unique flavors. 

Grezzo also offers classes if you want to learn how to "cook" and make the raw vegan appetizers and entrees that are so tasteful you can convince your boyfriend he is eating a modern version of a slice of pizza

Lesson: Go out of your dining comfort box, you will be surprised. It never hurts to try! Worse comes to worse, you can grab a burger on another street. 

Although i will NEVER fully convert to raw vegan, i will, without any doubt be back at Grezzo and another recommended vegan restaurant on Beacon Street, Grasshopper
