The Boyfriend (TB) and I stopped by Plum Bistro<\/a><\/strong> today for lunch.

Plum Bistro is the more sophisticated sibling in the Hillside Quickie<\/a><\/strong> restaurant family. The menu is 100% vegan and organic. Plum’s menu reminded me of Cafe Ambrosia, which used to be on Lake Union (and which, sadly, has been gone at least 5 or 6 years \u2026 the cafe, of course, not the lake).<\/p>\n

For our entrees, TB had the Spicy Jamaican Tempeh Wrap and I had the Smoked Northwest Portobello and Tempeh Crepes. For dessert, TB had the Strawberry Crepe. For drinks, we each had a Boylan<\/a><\/strong> ginger ale.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

TB’s wrap was a delicious and filling blend of spicy (onions, peppers, and jalapeno aioli) and sweet (tangerine slices).
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My savory crepes were a combination of hearty mushrooms and tempeh flavored with dill, lemon, and paprika.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dessert crepe was light and sweet \u2013 fresh strawberries topped with chocolate and whipped cream, accompanied by a caramel sauce.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our server told us that dessert crepes are always on the menu; the fruit varies, depending on what’s in season. Today’s other dessert option was coconut cheesecake.<\/p>\n

The service was excellent, the atmosphere pleasant. Our bill came to $37.90 excluding tip.
