Plant Power: Restaurants    CONTINUED FROM PAGE 52 | | The Grange and Garden Grille The Grange picked up what the Garden Grille started and ran with it. The world is your menu at both places, owned by longtime vegan Rob Yaffe. Servers explain how almost every item can be geared to vegan diets, but vegetarians who eat cheese and eggs are welcomed, too. Starting with coffee served with creamy oat milk, every detail is double-checked. We love the Grange’s roasted and fried cauliflower with sweet chili sauce; it’s big enough to sub for lunch. For an indulgent meal without the guilt, go for the mushroom po’ boy at the Grange and the famous butternut squash quesadilla at Garden Grille. Craving your five-a-day all in one bowl? Veer toward the salads, including the Grange’s quinoa salad with lettuce, avocado, beets, sweet potatoes, sunflowers seeds and a roasted garlic dressing or Reggie’s Raw Heaven at Garden Grille. Don’t forget vegan dessert at Wildflour Bakery, located right next door to Garden Grille. The Grange, 166 Broadway, Providence, 831-0600, providencegrange.com; Garden Grille, 727 East Ave., Pawtucket, 726-2826, gardengrilleri.com Crazy Burger Crazy Burger has four vegan veggie burger options called the “vertiginous vegan burgers.” There’s a quinoa, black bean and sweet potato version with a cilantro-cashew pesto in a crunchy corn chip crust; the Poco Loco roasted tempeh and wild black rice burger with peppers, onions and black beans; the Nutty AF burger made with toasted cashews and walnuts combined with lentils and zucchini and a sundried tomato and artichoke pesto; and the Birdie Mae burger with tempeh, purple sticky rice, sweet potato, roasted sunflower seeds and more.
