Real Food Daily: Honest to Goodness Organic Vegan Cuisine

When it comes to L.A. vegan cuisine, Real Food Daily is the ultimate paradigm.  Founded by American macrobiotic chef Ann Gentry, the two Real Food Daily restaurants in Santa Monica and West Hollywood (RFD SoMo and RFD WeHo for short) serve a progressive vegan menu influenced by Eastern health philosophies and Western heart-healthy nutritional recommendations.

The Real Food Daily menu boasts “no meat, fish, fowl, dairy, eggs, butter, cholersterol or saturated fats from animals or animal by-products”, and all food items are made from organic produce.  You’ll find fresh juices, cashew cheddar nachos or daikon and cabbage spring rolls for appetizers, chopped salads, tempeh (soybean cake) “burgers”, seitan (wheat gluten) “tacos”, and portabella mushroom sandwiches, vegan desserts, as well as a variety of other vegan options from $4-$17.

The modern décor and gourmet flair to this no-meat eatery gives Real Food Daily an edge that transcends the long-held notions of bland, boring vegetarian food.  In fact, leading food magazine Bon Appétit has described Real Food Daily as being to organic vegan cooking what Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse is to California cuisine – in essence, a leader in reinventing modern vegan gastronomy.

I LOVE this place! Call me crazy but non-dairy cheese is one of my favorite things. And anywhere I can get a brown rice burrito is great in my book.

Also they have an awesome nut pate that is not to be missed!

I must say that as macrobiotic folk, this is my favorite restaurant in L.A. :)
