The best gourmet vegan restaurant in the world closed last month. Developers gave the Red Avocado 30 days to vacate and shut down the business which has thrived for the past 12 years. Petitions circled and voices raised, but the development won. The restaurant has not announced plans for reopening or relocating. However, special meals are being planned for the faithful vegan followers of this cherished Iowa City restaurant.The first, is a Valentines Day meal!
Chef Dave is planning A Valentines Day 4-5 course meal to be served at the Hillel House. Reservations can be made by emailing dave@theredavocado.com. There are more details on the Red Avocado Facebook page.
Also, if you are a busy person on the go and are interested in the Red Avocado meal plans they are also still available.
Red Avocado has always been that special place for me where I shared birthdays, New Years, Valentines, Solstice, and many other special memories with friends and loved ones. It will always hold a special place in my heart. My favorite dish was the College Green Sunset with cup of steamy spiced hot chocolate.
A toast to the Red Avocado, Dave and the staff who made it a vegan icon in Iowa City. Thank you to the Red Avocado staff and chefs who served up wholesome, organic, vegan goodness for the community to enjoy. Thank you for supporting the community month after month and year after year with your goodwill and donations. The award winning restaurant deserves to be remembered. Many blessings to the staff and their families as life moves forward with new endeavors.
If there are any other special community meals or holiday feasts, I will be sure to share them here!!
