Zoe's (vegetarian) Kitchen

If you enjoy Mediterranean food, you’re going to love Zoe’s Kitchen. Today in my search for vegetarian food in Waco I decided to try out a place with a variety of vegetarian options. After pondering the menu for a while I ordered the spinach & mushroom piadina with a side salad. It was a new option on the menu and the intrigue of trying something new was a challenge I could not pass up.  

For those of you who don’t know what an piadina is (like me, before ordering it today) it is basically just a thin Italian flatbread. It was filled with mushrooms, fresh mozzarella cheese, a feta parsley spread, parmesan cheese and spinach grilled to perfection. The only critique I had was the vast amount of spinach in it, I wish there would have been a better balance of mushrooms and mozzarella.

 The thing I love about Zoe’s Kitchen is that the food is always very fresh and crisp. The side salad had a variety of vegetables and every bite was crunchy. Their greek dressing that comes on every table goes deliciously with the salads, but make sure you shake it up or you’ll get a mouthful of oil. I accidentally oversaturated my salad in dressing, making it quite mushy by the end of the meal.

If you’ve never tried Mediterranean food, I would definitely give Zoe’s Kitchen a chance. Although it is a bit pricy, the vast amount of meatless options makes it a great restaurant selection for Waco vegetarians.
