One visit to Veg and you'll be hooked!  You don't have to be a vegetarian to appreciate delicious wild-caught seafood from local and global sustainable sources, local and organic produce, delicious low-salt and low fat choices, and a menu that offers simply something for everyone!

A friendly, family-owned and operated eatery that serves lunch, dinner, beer, wine, and take-out. As their website states, they are "locateddowntown without the downtown prices"! 2164 Gulf Gate Drive, Sarasota, FL 34231

   My wife and I were simply blown away with the many signature dishes like VegBurger (made in house) and Portobello Mushroom Volcano. We were so impressed that we continue to go back each week to sample new dishes presented weekly by Chef Marty from around the world.
From July 18th through August 31st, Chef Marty has and is creating dishes in what they call "Around the World Chef's Tour" highlighting different dishes each week. We've enjoyed Moussaka from Greece and last week we enjoyed the Seafood Paella from Spain (Picture above).  

This week will be "Moroccan" and I can hardly wait! Their dishes are infused with spices that bring out the utmost flavor and are served with the highest of quality. They also offer a kid friendly menu, vegan-friendly menu with vegan desserts, gluten-free sandwiches, soups, desserts and more. And let's not forget the beer and wine (which also includes organic and gluten-free). No wonder why this restaurant has become a favorite with the locals! (and ME)
