As a raw foodist, I was very happy to come across a restaurant where I could try something different besides a salad. While I would only go to Quintessence very occasionally (some choices can be quite filling and heavy), the food is very innovative and an amazing display of what can be done without the use of stoves and ovens. While the choices are meant to recreate different types of cooked food, to me the raw versions are completely different and stand deliciously on their own. My only complaint is that sometimes the food can be heavily seasoned, but then again most cooked food is heavily seasoned too. Also, the restaurant is very small, but in a way that makes it cozy. Everything is delicious, but make sure to try the coconut shake!
Pros: yummy!, healthy
Cons: not much room, too much seasoning
