There's a nice little restaurant in Kihei on Maui called Joy's Place. The menu is all or nearly all vegetarian with a number of vegan and raw food options. They have a tasty "rawwich" -- a sandwich on dehydrated crackers with pesto and carrot pates, lots of great veggies. You can also order a weekly raw take home meal. A small place with friendly folks!

Hi,
One of my favorite restaurants that I would like to see listed is: "Lydia's Lovin Foods" in Fairfax Ca. Though they offer cooked as well as raw foods, there is a very strong focus on raw foods. Lydia and her chefs are very fine raw food chefs. I've been in her kitchen (she offers raw food classes there) and seen that she uses nothing but the finest raw organic ingredients and pays careful attention to how all the food is prepared. Lydia's raw crackers are also made in the same building as the restaurant.

Ask for Nava or Sheila. Tell them Nature's First Law sent you. They'll set you up with a delicious raw meal........... Stephen Arlin 21 Nov 1997
In tribecca, the best food, nice atmosphere, inspiring people, many music events.
They do juices including Smoothies as well as full on meals. Paia is a center for alternative culture people and the restaraunt is pulling many of them out of the woodwork and into town.
For myself, raw food was a new concept, and I did the raw food thing for about 4 days, visiting the restaraunt each day till I went to the mainland for a 6 week trip. I had a variety of their Entrees, soups, salads, and drinks. What surprised me is that I never felt hungry and the thought of cooked food turned me off. Of course I felt energized on the diet which is why I continued it. The food tasted excellent which probably has to do with the talent of the chef rather then it being raw or cooked. Especially tasty was the pizza with a macadamia nut sauce.
Hawaii is certainly a great place for a raw food restaraunt because local organic fruits and vegtables are available year round and Loving foods uses primarily fresh organic ingrediants that are grown locally
I understand there is a raw food restaraunt in Chicago (where I am situated for the next 4 weeks) and I intend to pay it a visit soon.
