Day 2 - SAF: London's Trendiest Raw Food Restaurant

After hearing loads about SAF I was excited to go with my friends Carys & Alex. I'm extremely happy to say I was not disappointed. London's trendiest raw food restaurant lived up to it's reputation and then some. The restaurant itself had a real zen-like calm to the place but without feeling pretentious or like it was being too cool for school. The staff were attentive, really enthusiastic about the food and totally beautiful, lovely people.

The food itself was gorgeous, both to look at and to taste. We went for a tapas style approach and basically ordered anything we liked the sound of and then tried a bit of everything. We ordered: the cheese board followed by the gazpacho, caviar, lasagne, sea weed salad & spinach dumplings. For dessert we had the rose and pineapple sorbet and the strawberry cheesecake.

To leave somewhere totally satiated, with a light feeling in my stomach and a warm feeling in my heart was great. Everything about the restaurant was beautiful - the setting, the decor, the staff - really did make such an effort to make us feel welcome and the service was better than the The Ivy.

I cannot wait to go back again, and lucky for me it's my birthday in September so I think I already have a venue.... ;o)

With food this good, who wouldn't want to be raw?
