“ My hubby went full Vegan last October and I, of course, said "not for me". Sorry, not sorry, but I like hamburgers and pastrami and roast beef. Tonight we decided to have date night at the newly opened "Gentle Grill" all Vegan restaurant on the corner of Margarita and Pauba in So. Temecula. Oh my goodness was it GOOD! If you or someone you know is Vegan, I HIGHLY recommend. I was really doubting there would be something for me at this plant based eatery, but everything we had was incredibly delicious. Flavorful and filling. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu and I'm so happy we found a place that we both can enjoy and choose anything off the menu without my hubby needing to substitute his meal down to grass and dirt. Please give this place a try so we don't lose another "off Old Front Street" restaurant. Thanks TT! Here are the pix of what we had tonight. ”
“ I found this place on Happy Cow and decided to make a stop here on my way back to LA from a camping trip in the mountains. I'm so glad I stopped. The food was fantastic. I ordered the gyro bowl, which was basically a salad. I finished every bite - I would buy that peppery seitan by the pound if they sold it in bulk. I also got a peanut butter brownie. I've never had a decent peanut butter cookie since becoming vegan and this brownie hit all the right notes I've been missing. My little one got the kid's meal with bean burrito and fruit. We asked to omit the cashew cheese. The fruit was melon and grapes. The burrito was made with pinto beans and grilled and delicious I wish they had more drink options without sugar, preferably a sparkling water would have been perfect. I ended up ordering a lowish sugar probiotic sparkling drink that was good but I really just wanted a Pellegrino or Topo Chico. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu. They only had two people working. I was happy to see they were busy with customers on a Sunday afternoon. ”
