Quintessence Restaurant

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I dipped into New York City on Monday and went to

Quintessence, a raw restaurant in the East Village. I

had my mouth set on a burger since I hadn't had any

since going raw. Anyway, it was delicious (sprouted

grains I believe) and so was the mustard/mayo thing

they had on the side. I wasn't pleased about the price

though -- $12 -- especially bc it was a very small

size, much smaller than a Boca Burger or a McDonald's

hamburger. For twelve bucks I expected more. I was

also annoyed that they wouldn't substitute flax

crackers for the salad that came with it. . . I eat

salads at home all the time so I wanted something

different.

 

Anyhow, their other dishes looked delicious as well

but also similarly-portioned. I was planning to make

that a dinner stop since I'll be in the city every

Monday anyway but now I don't think so -- too

expensive, not enough food. Must not bother other

folks though bc business is going well it seems;

they've opened two other locations in other parts of

the city.

 

Has anyone visited other raw restaurants? What are the

prices like? Does $12 for an itty bitty burger seem

expensive to you or am I just tripping? :-)
