I've only had food from this place twice, but my god, how tasty it is! Both times I've asked for a recommendation and both times the quantity and the spicing has been perfect. I think I'm having the Mushroom Walnut Sausage Bowl. It doesn't even matter. So good!

This is a great place to stop for a healthy and delicious bite to eat. I had a smoothie here as well and it was tasty.

It’s hard to find plant-based, gluten-free restaurants on the island. We took the drive from Nanaimo to Courtenay just to experience this place. The wraps are made from dehydrated veggies and flax and are super filling. The burgers are wrapped in romaine lettuce. I was surprised at how good their Caesar salad is! Very friendly staff, tons of indoor seating, a nice outdoor patio, a huge parking lot out front, as well as clean and classy restroom facilities in the back. Because this is a raw restaurant you know you’re getting clean plant-based food with no gluten. I’m coming back and getting a large Caesar salad!

This place is amazing. Warm, welcoming staff, and food that will blow your mind. I tried their wraps, dill burger, curry, tacos, a smoothie bowl and a variety of snacks. All were money well spent. They are very transparent about ingredients and will offer to show you the list of ingredients if you ask. Highly recommend ? ? ?

The food is AWESOME ? ate there twice in one day. I had the Avocado Pesto Roll - you can buy two or just one… I recommend buying 2 because you will want another one. It comes with a sauce that is soooo good it should be bottled and sold in stores. I also tried the refined sugar free desserts….WOW they are sooooooo good!! Try anything it’s all very good!!!! I will be back and highly recommend!!!

Awesome Greensicle shake.... I battle with sugar addiction and I drove into the dairy Queen drive-thru, and I guess in a moment of clarity said $&@$ it I'm doing to Rawthentic..... And it was amazing. A breakfast bar with an orange Greensicle was awesome

I'd give a 10/5 if I could!Soooo yummie! So many delicious looking menu options it was hard to decide what to order! The Creamy Dill Beet Burger was incredible. Comes wrapped in lettuce with a small side of dehydrated Kale chips and was the perfect amount of food, with saving the chips for a snack later. I did taste them though. And bought a big box of each flavor to take home!Staff was friendly and helpful too.

If your looking for vegan food this is the place to be. Only place in town who will customize your order and individual anything to your liking.

While travelling through town, we were looking for a gluten free, vegan-friendly place for lunch and stopped at Rawthentic. I had the teriyaki bowl and a smoothie, both were amazing but I haven't been able to stop thinking about that bowl. So good! The serving sizes were very generous and the staff were super friendly. Will definitely pop in again the next time we are in town.

Amazing smoothies!! Good customer service, very sweet. I love that it’s all vegan, and I bet the food tastes amazing and I’ll have to try it next time I’m in town. Great smoothie for the price.
Awesome staff, lovely decor & excellent offerings ~ the new menu is amazing & offers a huge variety of delicious healthy items! Highly recommend for raw vegan healthy food, smoothies, hot drinks & desserts.

Really love the quality of drink available here, but I'm compelled to say, the staff could not have been less friendly. Honestly, I know everyone is having a hard time right now, but a little effort goes a very long way. Perhaps even eye contact, maybe? So rude and unwelcoming. (edit: my visit was on Wednesday)

Love the food. Friendly service. Great portion size. I had the warrior wrap. Will definitely be a go-to stop on future trips up-island.

The food at Rawthentic is incredible, I loved the avocado wrap! I would hesitate to continue patronizing this restaurant, however, as the staff were less than friendly on both the occasions I ate there. The food left me feeling great, but the experience felt as though, by making an order, we were an inconvenience.
