Quintessence - New York

We had a great pre public theatre show. there is a series of beautiful vegan restaurants on the lower east side quintessence is among them. it's been a long time and it's still delivering. it would be great if they had an alcohol license!

I found this restaurant on open table and went because it was one of the few vegetarian places on the list. I was surprised how small the room was (approx. 12 chairs) and that there was only 1 other person there at 7 o'clock. but the hostess was super friendly and accommodating. the food was presented artistically and the aromen were delightful. it is also byob. in a block of restaurants are wine shops. I'd go back to manhattan next time.

My first vegan raw food restaurant experience, being actually a meat eater... I am so positively surprised how much I liked it- great tacos, very good seaweed salad and the matcha cheesecake and pumpkin pie were outstanding!

My girlfriend eats cooked food and I just started eating raw, so I wanted a place that worked for both. We started with coconuts waters (from a real coconut), followed by the fofu wrap, nachos, burger and pizza. ALL OF IT WAS RAW AND AMAZING!!!!! My girlfriend loved every dish. We finished off with a banana coconut pie (so dank). Will be back here every week. Thanks Quintessence

Every dish I tried was tasty. Attentive service. Healthy
