Greens; San Francisco, USA

My latest trip to the US of A was filled with some fantastic food. My lovely friends looked up some great vego restaurants to take me, so I was completely spoiled for choice.

The one restaurant I did look up in advance was Greens in San Francisco. After reading a blog post about it, I was super keen to go. I invited three veggie-friendly friends, and we had a fantastic evening eating delish food and watching the sun set over the bay.

When dining on a Saturday night, you have to order from the Prix Fixe menu, which is a set price. It was $49 plus drinks when I was there, but during the off season, it includes wine. I am full of sadness that I didn't blog this sooner, as their menu has now changed and I was so jet lagged that I can't remember the names of the dishes. FAIL! The set menu included a starter, bread, an appetiser, a main and dessert.

Starter - goats cheese.

Bread. Fresh and delish. I *may* have asked for more ...

I don't remember what was in these ... epic blogger fail.

Heirloom tomato salad.

Rocket and mushroom salad.

Bean salad and ... I can't remember the rest of the dish!

Tortellini and tomato pasta dish. 

Watching the sun set over the bay. Tres romantic!

We also had some amazing desserts, but sadly the photos were rubbish so they're not here.

The dishes at Greens are devine. Some really creative ideas and fresh produce = an amazing night out for any food lover, vegetarian or not. The restaurant was packed - but considering it's in SF, that's probably not surprising. If you're planning a visit, book ahead in plenty of time, especially for a Saturday night. Ask for a table by the window so you can be romanced by the view. SF, I <3 you.
