RAW FOOD RESTAURANT IN ST. AUGUSTINE FLORIDA

I just had the most incredible meal at a raw food restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida. The name of this restaurant is "The Present Moment Cafe". They boast "fresh organic living food made with love and gratitude".

The ambience is great, there are pillows in the booths and you are immediately provided with a carafe of water that contains lemon and cucumber slices, delicious and healthy, a natural way to flavor your water.

The menu mentions that there is no meat or fish, no dairy products and no processed foods used and nothing is cooked. A haven for raw foodists.

Even if you are not into rawism, you may find this food surprisingly good and filling. There are so many things to choose from including dessert. I ordered the "tacos for life" and nearly licked my plate clean. My mother said she had not seen me eat with such enjoyment in a very long time. I can date that back to when I started taking something for diabetes, my appetite has changed completely. I have started adding fruits and vegetables to my diet, drinking smoothies and green smoothies and have actually started losing my taste for certain foods, bad foods, things I should not eat anyway.

By the way, their corn and cabbage slaw is nothing to sneeze at, I got some of that to go. Mom received it with her veggie burger and it was hard not to keep eating from her plate. The veggie burger was a little iffy, we were not sure we liked that as well but everything else we got was great including the salad and some sprouted flax corn tortilla chips. Those were so good, we bought some of those to bring home too.

They have a little market next door where they sell many things on the raw food list including books, the aforementioned chips, agave nectar and so on. Please visit their website and, if you ever find yourself in St. Augustine, visit their restaurant and store, it is well worth the effort.
