Quick Bites: Caravan of Dreams

February 26th, 2010

The Basics: You won’t find portabello mousse at Caravan of Dreams. This is a real, hippydippy vegetarian restaurant. The kind that might scare away a carnivorous skeptic. Half the menu is raw or “live”, while everything is organic, vegan and kosher. Anyone with an open mind willl appreciate the worldly possibilities on the menu. I for one, had my head spinning between spelt pancakes, seitan taquitos, peanut noodles and carrot polenta. Seasonal and local, it is not. There’s plenty of coconut where it doesn’t need to be. You can’t be everything to everyone I guess. Our waitress seemed to have her head in some yonder hemp clouds, but when she finally brought our food it was flavorful and satisfying. Not everything is a success, but you’ll leave Caravan with plenty of new information about some rather wild ingredients.
Cuisine: Vegan, Kosher
Best Dish: Classic nachos with black bean chili, guacamole and salsa.
Food: Good
Service: Poor
Value: Good
Average App/Entree Price: $8/$15

You Gonna Finish That? Meh, you can taste the side.

    Hi Erika. I have friends who really like Caravan, but I’ve always been hesitant to go there – I often find veggie restaurants to be bland (though I do like Candle 79) and the servers to be a bit loopy. I doubt I’ll be checking it out any time soon.

    Hi Zahavah- yes it was definitely a little off at some moments and there are many better vegetarian restaurants in the city. Candle 79 being one of them!

    Lauren- that mango smoothie was delish!
