Hey there blogosphere! Long time no post huh? I know it’s been awhile but I wanted to tell you about this place I just ate at this weekend in NYC, called The Little Beet Table. Now I discovered this place via Instagram and immediately thought of some peeps I know that are gluten free. Have a friend in from AK made this a great occasion to try it. If you have ever tried to eat a GF diet you know it can be a bit challenging to find places let alone dishes that met your dietary requirements. Some people have to for health reasons, but I am not a health blog so about this place…
The Little Beet is located along Park ave, nestled between building and fairly non-descript. The premise is that the menu is influenced by what is in season and healthy vegetables and whole foods. (Not going to lie I was a bit dubious, until I looked at the menu and was sold on the sweet potato toast) The interior is the same, simple and straight forward. Menu covered the basics and then some, and don’t worry meat eaters there are some meats on the menu.
So my friend and I went in and ordered the banana bread with hazelnut butter, sweet potato toast, maple French toast and the roasted sweet potatoes. Course I love me some taters (in like any format) so I was like a pig in shit. Not only was the service friendly and on point so was the food. I mean honestly I think neither one of noticed that we ate a mostly vegetarian meal. The banana bread was delish, light, creamy and not to banana-y if you know what I mean. My French toast was AHHHHHMAZING, covered in syrup and crème fraiche. I think they used the banana bread as the base and I’m mad I never thought of it. I also got the roasted sweet potatoes with sea salt and olive oil. HOLY COW, I think it will be my new go to for cooking them. Everything was fresh, clean and seasoned just right and not over powering.
Overall I’d say 4 out of 5 forks, simply because of the sweet potatoes. Even if you aren’t GF give it a try and see before you knock it.
