Rockin’ Raw
Live raw vegan organic
whole food meals
Eating out at Rockin’ Raw we discovered a casual, relatively inexpensive and yet superb raw vegan restaurant in Brooklyn, New York – healthy food that is also out-of-sight delicious and unique.
Joining southern forces
The interior feel and the menu both reflect the owner’s backgrounds.
Tere Fox and Luis Salgadofirst met while undergoing studies to become health counselors at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Opening the restaurant reflected their united passion to help others lead healthier lives - and they could combine their esthetics and desire for sensual sumptuous flavors.
Luis comes from Peru and many of his Rockin' Raw menu creations include ingredients from Peru (using uniquely Peruvian hot peppers, corn kernels, lucuma, maca,and cocao) and with recipes that reflect the oh so spicy and flavorful nature of Peruvian cuisine.
Tere, on the other hand, comes from New Orleans and the menu is likewise full of Southern-style items such as mashed potatoes and cheese broccoli (of course, raw-vegan-style creole). Furthermore, the restaurant's interior has a playful, laid back New Orleans feel, decorated throughout with colorful Mardi Gras Queen beads. Highlighted in the restaurant is a showcase full of to-die-for- deserts, no kidding. Tere expertly teaches classes in making these raw vegan delights.
Free natural health counseling
To augment the dining experience, the couple gives free health counseling to its regular patrons. Got acne? Try going off of dairy for a week, the most hyper-allergenic of foods, but don’t feel deprived! You can binge on coconut ice cream instead! Such heavenly remedies often work wonders.

Raw vegan organic whole foods
One of the distinctive features of Rockin' Raw is that it offers not only raw-vegan entrees like restaurants in this genre, but uses purely organic, whole foods, super-health oriented ingredients. You won’t find tofu or other processed vegan staples nor a heavy emphasis on nuts or dates, so common in vegan restaurants. And to accompany the vibrancy of the food, the menu is creative in its details and appears to be constantly adding new delights.
Our raw-vegan dinner
We managed to enjoy first a green drink in preparing for the meal, then a veggie loaf (a mix of zucchini, carrots, pumpkin seed, mushrooms, spices and herbs). We also loved the Jalapeno Poppers side dish, stuffed with sunflower cheese, plus a zucchini pasta with a Peruvian sauce. Finally we got a live eggplant dish that was a tantalizing treat. Being Thanksgiving we finished off this meal with a slice of pumpkin pie (nut-free) from their Thanksgiving menu.
This all barely scratched the surface of what was on their overall menu. Want some "Fried eggs" and a BLT for brunch?
How about spicy chili or some nachos and an enchilada?
