Pauline and I went for dinner last night at a place in downtown Guelph I've been meaning to try for a while - Wild Organic Way ("WoW"). It's entirely raw food, organic, and vegan - with no wheat or sugar used. Very much not used to a restaurant that I can eat more than one or two things on the menu; here almost everything was fair game. Pauline was a bit more restricted, given a nut allergy, and raw food uses a lot of nuts in things, but she still had around half the menu to choose from.
We had a fantastic meal, incredibly tasty and incredibly fresh; she had a taco, and I had a pizza. Great combinations of flavours and textures, and packed with nutrients. Even the desserts are wonderfully tasty and even good for you, plus no sugar buzz. We had a nice chat with Tom, one half of the couple that owns and runs the place. Outside of California, there aren't too many places like this, and closer to locally, just a couple in Toronto, so having one walking distance is great (and oh, so Guelph). It's not like we're going to convert to a raw diet or anything, but its opened our eyes to a few more options. And while we had a laugh at the idea of bringing some of our more steak-oriented friends there, I'd bet they'd actually like it and feel great afterwards, though they'd never admit it.
