#Raw
Florence raw vegan restaurant serving plant-forward bowls, wraps, soups, juices and biodynamic greenhouse herbs in a stylish setting.
#Raw is the rare restaurant name that arrives with its own punctuation and a fairly clear thesis. It is a Florence raw-vegan address built around vegetable-packed soups, burgers, wraps, burritos, salad bowls, juices and turmeric, aloe vera or ginger shots. No oven, toaster or microwave in sight, which is commitment of a very specific kind.
Chef Caroline keeps a biodynamic greenhouse for herbs, a small but useful marker of seriousness beneath the hashtag. The food is presented with a design eye, all slate, wood, colour and crunch, but the point is not only photogenic lunch. It is plant-forward cooking that treats freshness as flavour, not virtue signalling.
Go when Florence’s richer pleasures need balancing. After ribollita, wine and the gravitational pull of pastry, #Raw offers a clean, bright reset without sending you into punishment mode. It is very of its era, yes. But a raw vegan bowl with good herbs and a little confidence is a better modern habit than most.
