THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Fresh on Sunset Restaurant Review:

About Fresh founder Ruth Tal: Fresh on Sunset is the first U.S. location for this chic Canadian plant-based restaurant chain, with founder Ruth Tal partnering with former "Top Chef Canada" judge and restaurateur Shereen Arazm (Terroni). Tal has five Fresh restaurant locations in Toronto, and she is also the author of several Canadian bestselling vegan cookbooks.

The décor: This ultra-chic West Hollywood restaurant boasts one of the most beautiful modern dining rooms in town. Tall windows and soft lighting bathe pale blond wood and white walls, and the airy room is punctuated with stylish, curved aqua-green banquettes and sleek midcentury furniture. Hanging out at the inviting, mod bar is ideal for a leisurely solo lunch or evening drinks with friends --- the cocktails are first-rate, and the young, trendy crowd is lively. Upstairs a sweet, intimate rooftop patio with twinkling city views is a perfect spot to snuggle.

Likes: Stunning décor, delicious botanical cocktails, sustainable vegan practices.
Dislikes: Parking on this part of the Strip on weekends --- horrendous.

Food & Drinks: A contemporary and completely plant-based menu offers a wide range of dishes inspired by international cuisines. Non-vegans won't be disappointed --- there's plenty of luxe comfort food to choose from, including a savory poutine with mushroom gravy or nachos with cashew queso, mushroom artichoke chorizo, avocado, and jalapeño crema. Crispy quinoa onion rings and tangy Buffalo cauliflower are good with drinks, and a savory house-made grain burger topped with bbq sauce, banana chiles and Napa cabbage is satisfying. Try one of the impressive fancy salads like the "Tangled Thai" or the "Supergreen Caesar," complex creations that marry harmonious flavors and textures. Fresh bowls feature a mélange of veggies and proteins on brown rice or soba noodles. Our flatbread pick features charred greens and feta. Power shakes like the mango milkshake or green detox smoothie are meals in themselves, while lighter energy boosting drinks include kombucha cocktails, cold-pressed juices and botanical lattes with rose, turmeric or matcha. The craft cocktails here are quite superior --- we recommend the "Smoke and Mirrors" featuring mezcal, pineapple and Thai basil, or an outstanding maple-tinged "Northern Lights Old Fashioned." There's also a selection of bubbly, select wine, beer and cider. The tempting vegan chocolate cake is a pleasant finish.
