fressen

About a month ago, or so (actually I just checked my calendar and it was exactly May 14th!...how timely) I had the pleasure of dining at Fressen with two friends, Cindy and Bridgette. We were so impressed with this 100% vegan restaurant, with lots of wheat-free menu items, that we decided to take photos of each dish before inhaling all the food. For those who think the dishes look small, they are. The premise of the restaurant is that you order several dishes, all priced at $9, and share amongst your party. This may not look like a lot of food in the photos, but it really did go far, and we all left feeling nice and full - and healthy!
