![]() ![]() It does come with a salad (not pictured here) to offset the beige. Polenta normally doesn’t excite me much, but alongside the almond-crusted tempeh and sauce, I’m digging this meal. One of the dishes everyone should try at least once is the Heart of Provence, just because it is so dang delicious! You don’t have to be vegan or even health-minded to like this one. Tasted awesome, as expected! Our buddy ordered a different take on the BBQ pulled jackfruit and opted for the Caballero plate with spanish rice, greens, and cashew cheese. My BBQ pulled jackfruit tacos, the daily special. I wish we could come up with some better descriptors! Really, it’s got a great texture, and it’s nice to use an actual whole food rather than some soy or gluten concoction that was cleverly designed to mimic the texture of meat. Jackfruit is a huge fruit from Southeast Asia, and it’s cooked when it’s still green and starchy to give a very “meaty” texture, often described as similar to pulled pork. One of their specialties is BBQ pulled jackfruit. There’s a symbol for meals that contain dairy, but I’ve yet to find anything that isn’t vegan.īeing in the beer mecca that is Fort Collins, we started by sharing a local New Belgium porter on tap. Those with food sensitivities will appreciate that they also label all the gluten-free options on the menu. It’s actually hard to decide what to get because everything looks so good and meets my (special occasion) standards! Their portion sizes are also right on – too small for Jay, but just right for a normal person. It’s a treat to find a menu which I approve and could eat pretty much everything on it without feeling crappy afterward. Tasty Harmony has a simple, relaxed atmosphere, and the staff are always friendly but unobtrusive. Then they have dishes like the Raw Pad Thai with kelp noodles in an almond coconut sauce.Īt the same time, they have some pure comfort foods like Kentucky Fried Freedom with breaded mock chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, black eye peas and greens. A place after my own heart! This includes the aptly titled The Big Macrobiotic which features steamed veggies, greens, beans, brown rice, sea veggie salad, and cultured cabbage. They have roots in macrobiotics and raw food cuisine and use lots of whole, fresh foods. I love it because it’s the cross between vegan comfort food and still being healthy. Some past trips to the Fort we have totally splurged and dropped the majority of our budget on food at Tasty Harmony. I think that just makes the meal taste even better. The patio behind me is Tasty Harmony’s tiny outdoor seating area. Further proof that you should never make any assumptions and always give people the chance to pleasantly surprise you. They impressed me by choosing some of the more “healthy” sounding options on the menu, and they thoroughly enjoyed the food. Though they are open-minded and health-oriented, they are still meat-eaters. These were two wonderful friends who opened up their home (and kitchen!) to let us stay with them. ![]() On this past trip, we took our Fort Collins hosts out to Tasty Harmony for dinner. Welcome! Low key with a wood picnic table out front and a relaxed, casual vibe. And by splurge, I also mean food splurge – like any restaurant food, I count it as special occasion food where I can eat a little less clean than I would at home. This is the kind of splurge allowed in our tight road trip budget. We adjusted our route to make sure it went through the Fort during week 1 of our North American Road Trip, and we ate at Tasty Harmony twice in the three days we stayed. Whenever we travel to this favorite town of ours, we always visit Tasty Harmony at least once. For those of you that read my post about Fort Collins, Colorado, you will already know about my love affair with a little vegan restaurant called Tasty Harmony.
