There are a lot of great resturants in Iowa City but this is for sure my favorite. I recently became a vegatarian and have always loved vegetarian food. This place has really wonderful vegan food. Because it is vegan no animal products of any kind are used (no eggs, butter, milk, etc.) but you really don't miss these things, in... more

The food is delicious and you feel so good after eating there. The coconut corn soup, the earth salad, the smoothie and the sesame French toast for brunch are a few of my favorites, but can't list them all. The ambience is different - a bit funky - and they have two outside eating areas which are different from any... more

Delicious vegetarian. Local produce. Can't get enough of this place. more

Great buffet and they lowered their prices. How many restaurants do that? more

The Red Avocado Restaurant is a cornucopia of delight for ones tastebuds. Although it is a vegan/vegetarian restaurant, it is not tasteless as most meat eaters, as I am, believe about vegetarian. The flavors are delicious and the chefs use vegetables and spices which most of us are not familiar with but find very tasty and satisfying. Presented with color,... more
