I've now been to Grassroots Pantry 4 times since it opened (my latest visit was last Saturday). It's become my favorite restaurant here! The setting is lovely, cosy, and unpretentious and the food is DELICIOUS. My favorite dishes are:1) the linguini (creamy and earthy - a must try if you love mushrooms!)2) the quinoa salad (fresh and light, with great complementary textures from the chewy quinoa, crisp greens, zesty cranberries, and rich walnuts)3) the dal (THE BEST IN HK, in my opinion. And I've heard this from Indian friends who have been searching for a truly delicious moong dal here)4) the palak paneer/tofu (warm, comforting, and just spicy enough)4) the de-bloater and mean green (green juices at their best! I love that they use local Chinese kale)5) the raw blueberry cheesecake (sweet but not overly so - all the indulgence without the guilt)I'm so thrilled that more socially conscious, veg restaurants are popping up around HK. The price point is also great - moderate prices for food that is made with all organic and local produce!!!! This one is truly worth a visit, and I'm betting it's already become a favorite among people who want Hong Kong to grow into a place filled with individuals who do our part to alleviate the global environmental crisis, by buying and eating local and sustainable. Grassroots Pantry is also just a place where anyone - vegetarian and meat-lover alike - can enjoy delicious food, lovingly prepared and served.…Read More
