lexibelle5110 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 My husband and I are going to be kid-free and would like a date night. The option to cook at home is always there, but I'd like to have the option of taking a night off if at all possible. I recently came across this restaurant and it LOOKS like the foods would be W-30 compliant, but I'm hoping I could get a second opinion. I'd hate to interrupt 10+ days of success by accidentally eating something we shouldn't. It's a raw food restaurant and uses a lot of cashew bases. Assuming we stayed away from anything that lists grains as an ingredient, would this be a feasible option? Or is the lack of a meat protein-source an issue? I really don't know much about raw food diets, so I'm not sure if it plays nicely with W30. Here's a link to their menu - let me know if it's easier to copy/paste menu items. http://amerawcanbistro.com/images/bistroMenu.pdf On the same topic - can anyone suggest any other options in the area? Preferably south of Seattle, but not a necessity. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2012 The menu looks mostly Whole30 unfriendly to me. The Whole30 asks you to eat real protein at every meal - real as in meat or fish. Raw food is okay, but many people have trouble digesting raw, so need food to be cooked to get all the nourishment they need from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Urban Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 We love Asado in Tacoma. It's an Argentinian steakhouse, and should be pretty Whole30 friendly. Their steaks come with a gorgeous salsa and chimichurri, and you can sub veggies for the mashed potato or polenta side dishes. Menu here: http://asadotacoma.com/ Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexibelle5110 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Melissa - thanks for the suggestion! I actually completely forgot they were there - and I've read several reviews on them before. Tom - that's why I asked Since I've seen people talk about nut-based 'cereals' for the occasional substituion for eggs at breakfast (still working on getting my mind around eating 'dinner foods' for breakfast), I thought maybe it'd be okay for a one-time lunch or dinner.

Emickey25 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 If you wanted to go south to Olympia you could check out Ramblin Jacks or The Mark. The Mark has mostly organic/pastured meat. http://themarkrestaurant.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elleon Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yay! I love this thread... we are moving back to the Tacoma/Oly area in about six weeks and cannot wait to get there . @Lexibelle, where did you end up eating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Try the Met http://www.themetropolitangrill.com/ The 8oz Wagyu Filet is beyond amazing and they are able to alter sides to fit your needs. I can't recommend this place enough. It is a great dining experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
