Vegan Food Experience in the North End of Halifax
It has been awhile since I have written, nevertheless, here it goes a new eating experience in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Mary and I wanted to check out some new food establishments in the city and we came across a new Vegan restaurant - enVie (I have attached a web-link at the end) .
As we were sitting in this small, stylish restaurants and listening to music that to stimulate our senses, rather than, in so many other restaurants insult every sense you have, we looked out the window and saw people walking by with paper bags filled with produce. EnVie is placed on the corner of Charles and Agricola Street in the North End of Halifax. Around the corner is the Local Source which supplies local produce and other local sourced food products (Web-link is attached at the end).
EnVie has not a large menu but a very tasty one. I found it interesting that you can compose a meal entirely of juices. However, we did not. I had a Lentil Burger, lentil and brown rice burger, tomato, avocado, seasonal greens, enVie sprouts, chipotle almond aioli and a kale Caesar salad. If you love garlic go for the kale Caesar, wow! Even though, I loved the lentil burger, the combination with the kale Caesar was not great. The lentil burger has very subtle flavours, where as, the kale Caesar was so dominant. However, both separate were very tasty and satisfying.
Mary had the Pulled Jackfruit Burrito,smoky
pulled barbecue jackfruit, roasted sweet potato, black beans, avocado,
sesame hemp carrot slaw, shredded lettuce, served in a whole wheat
tortilla. Mary was not able to eat the whole burrito so we took it home and had it the next day for breakfast, very good and tasty.
However, we were kind of disappointed not to see any desserts on the menu. The disappointment did not last long as the waitress came and gave us the run down of their vegan desserts. Mary thought the raw chocolate strawberry torte sounded great. I was kind of full and wanted just to try the torte not have half of it, however, I changed my mind very quickly after having tasted the torte.
With a lovely presentation of green tea came this decadent piece of torte. Oh my goodness, on a walnut crust was this lovely vegan chocolate mousse topped with coconut cream and a strawberry the combination was just divine.
If you are in Halifax and are interesting to try a vegan food experience, enVie is a great place to come to and around the corner is a local source food store with a lively coffee, eatery, bar attached.
We found this corner in the Halifax North End to have a lovely energy and for sure worth of supporting.
