Vegan and vegetarian restaurants are starting to become one of the regulars among sushi and Thai joints across Los Angeles neighborhoods. And on Thursday, Silver Lake got theirs with Flore Vegan Cuisine (additionally, Intelligentsia Coffee opened yesterday one block north).
Veggies are rejoicing to once again eat owner and Chef Miranda's cuisine after selling Tierra Cafe last year in Downtown (which is still open under new management). She has now brought forth a vegan restaurant that does not specialize in Thai, a relief to many Vegans who love Thai, but are looking for more vegan options.
From Breakfast items like the Frittata Flore, Cranberry Walnut French Toast and Tomato Basil Omelets to daytime treats such as the Avacado & Seitan Salad, a Cheese Plate, Tempeh Tu-No Melt, Jicama Tacos and Pizza, the menu is diverse and delish. For those on the run, the deli has pre-made sandwiches, salads and other items ready to go.
On Thursday, their first day of business, a man came to the window near opening and begged to get in to buy some coffee. He said he wanted to be the first paying customer and so started a great first day. The restaurant was busier than expected, using 113 out of 115 lemons for fresh lemonade and one customer reported that Flore is going to give Real Food Daily a run for their money.

I just went in today and this place is better than real food daily! Many more options for some of us who prefer no wheat gluten or soy with our food. The jicama tacos rocked - I am so happy I live right down the street.
Finally! It took that place more than a year to open after the dear departed Prasadam got evicted.
The food was great, I got the club sandwich. I wanted the Reuben but it was late, and they were out of much of the menu. The service was friendly and available. My only complaint was I ordered an Ice Tea, the server poured it into a glass, they didn't have enough for a full glass, it was between half and three quarters full, and I was charged full price. It just seems as if it should have been discounted, free or he could have just said they didn't have enough. He did politely ask me not to hold the lack of stuff they had against them. Still, yet it was great. And my complaint just petty.
I am going to try this out today!
