My family and I visited his restaurant (twice it was so good), Euphoria loves RawVolution in Santa Monica, Los Angeles in December 2010.
This is an excerpt of my visit to Euphoria loves Rawvolution from my personal blog,
"In our first stopover we really enjoyed visiting Santa Monica and we had an extra incentive to go there this time, Raw Food Restaurants. Now we only ended up going to one of them because with the busy few weeks we have moving, Gib working, me doing course work and my PC crashing I hadn't had a chance to finish my travel itinerary and print it out. The raw food restaurant we decided to go to was "Euphoria loves Rawvolution" run by Matt Amsden and his wife. And it was a good choice. We instantly felt better as we walked in there. It was very California laid back and walking the back streets of Santa Monica. Gib commented it reminds him of Rose Bay. When I was in the cafe I felt like I was in Bondi so I guess you can say it was an Eastern Suburbs experience. I ordered a Matt Amsden's signature dish, Big Matt with Cheese and it was the best burger I have had without a doubt. Gib had a greek style pizza and a Chai Milk shake. We shared "Almost Tiramisu" and words do not describe absolutely yummy this dessert was.
The second meal at Euphoria loves Rawvolution, Rhiana had apple bread with almond butter. She didn't like her strawberry smoothie I think it was a bit tart for her but mum obliged. Gib had a salad (how unusual) and I had Indonesian flavoured kelp noodles. They were beautiful. And we shared a slice of hazelnut cappuccino cake, brownie and ice cream sandwich. The hazelnut cappucino cake was good but the tiramisu was probably the best thing of all. The wait staff were really attentive too and we also took away some rawkin' Kombucha which seemed to have a bit too much alcohol in it because I felt pretty relaxed after half a bottle."
Part 2
I have made his Onion bread and Bigsweet, less salty food than the recipes suggested in his recipe
book "Rawvolution".
