Our Favorite Restaurants
#1 Garden Grille for vegetarian, vegan and fine (raw) dining.
Vegan capital of Providence. Creative and exceptional nutrition. We highly recommend whatever special they offer that day!
#1 Kabob and Curry for Indian.
Best Indian restaurant by far. If you want a dish that typically has dairy, they will be happy to make it without. We like the sophisticated flavors and the consistently excellent kitchen and staff. We like the coded menu for vegetarians, no dairy, no wheat etc.
Ebisu Order the "Shabu Shabu" and the "Grilled Enoki Mushrooms wrapped with Squash" on skewers. The food wowed us, and the service while very pleasant, needs a little training. They are lovely people here. Shabu Shabu is a Japanese style that you cook at your own table. Fun!
Kon: Asian Bistro in East Greenwich. a few vegan choices while you sit by an 8 foot buddha in a reflecting pool with 40 feet of cascading water falls behind it. They also have a hibachi bar with a vegan option. Pricier but worth it.

Mostly eclectic hip omnivore diet with some Vegan additions
Crazy Burger Cafe & Juice Bar- 144 Boon St., Narragansett, RI 02882. 401-783-1810 Outstanding eclectic with many vegan choices. This is 45 minutes from Providence and worth the drive to the beach.
Recent find: Cheesecake Factory has an excellent vegan (95% raw) option. Now you can eat out with your friends and family and everyone can have a great time.
Bad news about Seven Moons a favorite Pan Asian in North Kingstown, RI. All of their "vegetarian" dishes use Chicken stock for flavor. They have no real vegetarian dishes except white rice and steamed vegetables.
Grezzo restaurant in Boston. Live food raw energy fine dining. Expensive, but big Wow factor!
