Sexy Vegan Food

AAAAAH!  LOVE!  One of my new, official, all-time favs!  This Vegan restaurant, located on Green Street near Greektown in Chicago, is an absolute must for vegans and non-vegans alike.  Called Karyn's on Green, this cute little unassuming restaurant opens up to a classy, clean, inviting restaurant once entered.

The decor is crisp, warm, and, well, green.  It's not mistake why this restaurant picked it's location.  The "green" has many uses: the street name, the concept, the color scheme, and the environmental friendliness of the food.

While there, my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary and my birthday.  He mentioned it to the restaurant when he made reservations (and yes, he made all the reservations!).  They treated us to a dessert on the house (might I recommend the chocolate peanut butter cake.  WOW) and complimentary glasses of good champagne.  Now, I'm not saying it was $100 a bottle, but it was also not your average Mum's.

We had sushi, hush puppies, zucchini spaghetti, risotto, chilled broccoli soup, and sliders.  All vegan.  All absolutely amazing.  The hush puppies were THE BEST I've had to date, and that's quite an accomplishment!  And, in case you need, they have Gluten Free, Nut Free, Soy Free, and Raw options as well.  Everything's vegan, but the restaurant denotes what other categories the food falls under.  For example, I ensured that everything I ate that night was gluten free, too (well, save a few bites of my boyfriend's hush puppies!)

Overall, a 15/10.  Amazing.  We will ABSOLUTELY be returning!
