Somerville, Mass. — Vegans love decadent desserts as much as the next guy. And with all the meat-, egg-, and dairy-free food choices available, people who are concerned about animals, the environment, and their health have lots to choose from—and that includes desserts. With that in mind, PETA has just completed its first-ever ranking of the top five vegan pies from restaurants across the U.S., and the Coconut Pie With Blood Orange Sauce from Somerville's True Bistro has grabbed the number four spot.
Located in Teele Square, True Bistro has accomplished its mission of giving the Boston area an upscale, all-vegan restaurant—in spades. Chef Stuart Reiter brings to the table the tastes of Austria, Japan, Hungary, Ghana, and several other countries he has either lived in or visited. The eatery offers an array of delicious sandwiches, salads, large plates, and heavenly desserts, and the Coconut Pie With Blood Orange Sauce looks as good as it tastes. True Bistro uses local seasonal ingredients whenever possible and features an impressive selection of wine, beer, and cocktails.
Taking top honors was the Apple Crumb Pie à la Mode from the award-winning and 100 percent vegan Sublime restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Claiming the number two spot was the Chocolate Silk Peanut Butter Pie from Iowa City's Fair Grounds Coffeehouse. Rounding out the top five winners were the Banana Cream Pie from Lovin' Spoonfuls in Tucson, Ariz., and the Cranberry Walnut Pie from Sweet Surrender Dessert Café in Louisville, Ky.
"True Bistro gets five green stars for meeting Americans' growing demand for fine vegan desserts in the most delicious ways," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "With all the tasty animal-free options available these days, going vegan is as easy as apple pie."
