Great!!!!! - Edit
The food here was great! I had a burrito and for the next week I was craving another. It was amazing! My friend got the pasta. She was surprised at how good it was. Everything we tried was great and I would go back every day if I could. The food was completely raw and vegan. You could buy items for the go too. The service was very friendly and I highly recommend RAW!

Healthy & Delicious - Edit
If you shop at the big Whole Foods in Lincoln Park, you're probably already familiar with RAW. Walking into the French Market, I was delighted when I saw the familiar bright pink and green labels and realized it was one and the same. I'd eaten so many of her dishes before, having bought them at WF's. I was glad to have finally discovered the mothership! She carries so much more at this location than they have at Whole Foods.
Read moreI found it very expensive, but portions are big and I am happy to pay for quality. I actually wish she would offer items in smaller portions with correspsonding smaller price tags.
If you're driving and want to do a quick pop-in, as you are driving on Washington, just past Clinton there is a row of free 15 min parking spots on your left (leave hazzards on). If you are there for 16 mins, you will be ticketed so u have to be quick!

My new favorite raw restaurant. - Edit
My apologies to all of the other fine restaurants around the country where I've eaten, but this place is too good to be true. I had several items there and took some home. All were beyond belief. Rather than repeat what others have said below, just read their reviews. I concur wholeheartedly. You're the greatest, Carole.

The BEST raw food! - Edit
RAW is now my favorite place to eat! I visit from New Orleans occassionally, and like to try raw places wherever I go. This place has so much that's wonderful. The collard burrito is my absolute favorite (but there are still so many entrees to try) and I LOVE the raw muffins and desserts. The lemon pie, tiramisu & chocolate brownies are dreamy. And the kale chips are terrific, too Besides the food, the two owners are super sweet, helpful and passionate about their food. Polly even gave me some pointers on how I can try making raw muffins at home. It's obvious the owners love and believe in what they do and it's not just about making money. I can't wait to come back and stock up again!
Read morePros: terrific food, sweet staff, healthy

deliciously RAW! - Edit
This was my first raw food experience. I went for the sample platter which had spaghetti, ravioli, a meatball, a lil veggie burger, and a tiny brownie. The ravioli was my favorite. The marinara sauce that came with it was amazing, and the ravioli filling was so soft and creamy. I had a sample of the tiramisu, which was incredible, but chose a parfait for dessert. The parfait contained rejuvelac, which I had never heard of; maybe if I had I wouldn't have gotten it (rejuvelac is fermented, so it had a sour taste, but it was nicely balanced with apples and granola). Everything was so good, I look forward to coming back again.

Best Raw! - Edit
I have eaten at dozens of raw food restaurants around the country including several who call themselves "gourmet". This little vendor blows them all away. They have the best tasting raw food dishes and deserts I have ever had. If I had the money, I would buy these people a restaurant!
Read moreThis place is a little hard to find if you don't know that they are inside the "French Market" which is next to the train station.
Pros: Great food, Great prices for raw food, Recyclable containers
Cons: A little hard to find

Keeping healthy while traveling - Edit
Here in Chicago on business and striving to stay healthy while eating out I found Raw. Not far from my office, I wound up eating here for all three meals several days in a row. Their smoothies were delcicious, nutritious, and keep me full until lunch. Recently added "run like bull" smoothie being my favorite. Their meal portions are very generous and also filling- I was able to share most of the meal and feel satisfied. My favorite was the raw pizza. I also tried many samples I loved but had the sample platter, raw lasagna and salmon pate sandwhich and loved them all. The power snack was a nice suppliment if you are sharing (my finace also loved every meal) and the raw carob chip cookie was to die for. Finally, a place where the food is delicious as it looks, and you feel great afterwards! The owner, her son and other staff were super friendly and it felt great to support their business. I'll be back whenever I am in Chicago!

Great Raw/Vegan Food! - Edit
RAW definitely does raw food right. Chicago only had two fully raw/vegan restaurants before RAW, and it's clearly a great new addition. RAW has a small stand/spot in the French Market but they seemed to have a huge presence. They always have two huge trays filled with samples of just about everything, and they even encourage you to try everything - this is great because you can see what you like. The first time I ate at RAW I went with the zucchini spaghetti, and while I liked my meal, I felt the 'meat ball' flavors were a little overwhelming. Other than that, the other things I've had were amazing such as the raw pizza, raw lasagna, salmon sandwich, etc. I will definitely be back.

Rawnforgettable - Edit
Not only is the location extremely cool (within the new French market that reminds me of the LA Farmer's market), but the stall, staff, and food is decidedly phenomenal. I've tried quite a bit of raw food, but this place, with its conveniently packaged meals, desserts, and even salad dressings, bread, and hummus in to-go containers, makes this place wonderful. The staff is clearly passionate about spreading their joy and belief in raw foods, and it's rather contagious. The samples are abound, and the staff will make sure you buy something that you've tasted and loved! I did not try a single thing I did not absolutely love--and that makes for about 10 different menu options!
Read morePros: phenomenal taste experience, wonderful and exciting location, warm and inviting staff
Cons: the stall is rather small, so many curious people make it crowded!

Friendliest Raw Food Anywhere! - Edit
I loved this food! Not only did I buy lunch, I got more to take home to eat for dinner! I had the "spaghetti and metballs", delicious. Tonight I am having the Collard Burrito, and boy am I looking forward to it.
Read moreOn top of top notch raw food, the owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. She explained everything to us, gave us samples, and genuinely chatted with us for a while.
So, if you love raw food, or you are looking for your first raw food experience, go to RAW!
Pros: Friendly, Delicious , Healthy
Cons: None
