A 100% vegan restaurant located in both Tempe and Phoenix, focusing on celebrating our love for vegetables!

“My grandfather and great grandfather built a house next to a lake. This was the house where I learned to cook. I was seven years old when my grandmother told me to go into the woods to pick fresh dandelion greens for her salad.

This was where my hands first smelled of fresh garlic. Where the scent of baking bread intoxicated my senses and the hand rolled pasta made my mouth water. This is where I took the tomato off the vine and placed it into the pot and where we picked the cherries from the tree for the cherry pies that made the neighbors swoon to my grandparents’ house. This is where I fell in love with the asparagus and the artichoke and the arugula. This is where I learned to celebrate food. This is why I cook for you.

And this is why I am Green.”

— Chef Damon Brasch

A few of my favorite menu items include the buffalo wings appetizer, ranchero burrito, and the Chicago cheesesteak – ALL vegan! It’s the perfect vegan junk-food joint in Phoenix.
