Live/Raw Food Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“Q: Why do almost all brands of raw almond butter and raw tahini taste nothing like raw almonds or raw sesame seeds? A: Because those nut butters and tahinis are not really raw. Though the nuts and seeds began raw, the high-heat process of grinding roasts those nuts and seeds. My question above was slyly qualified with the word "almost" in the phrase "almost all brands." Because Living Tree's almond butter and tahini do indeed taste like raw almonds and raw sesame seeds. They claim to "slice" (whatever that means), not grind, their nut butters and tahinis. Whatever it is that "slice" means, it makes a difference, because theirs is the best raw almond butter and best raw tahini on the market. I first tried theirs 25 years ago, and I have never been able to settle for any other brand since then. I used to mail order their products by the case directly from Living Tree, until 5 years ago, when I found a local source here in Connecticut. Good news for residents of shoreline Connecticut. Both Foodworks stores in Old Saybrook and Guilford carry Living Tree's raw nut butters and raw tahini, and my hope of informing CT residents of this is why I have posted this review.“

“Today was my first visit! The food was great!! Freshly prepared for each order. I had to call them and let them know! All good!“

“Amazing food and wine, great view“

“This is so delicious!! It’s ginger makes it spicy, yet sweet. I wish I had known about this juice sooner, since I’m moving away from San Francisco:( Though the bottle is 9 oz. it’s still a substantial drink! So delicious and gives me energy!“

“Excellent seafood in a beautiful setting. While the restaurant was packed on a Saturday evening, our party of six was able to enjoy and meal and have a good conversation. With its excellent view, Waterbar is an excellent perfect choice for entertaining out-of-town visitors who like well-prepared seafood dishes.“

“Such a magical place!!! Great food and the owners make you feel at home. Love it!“
