Looking for vegetarian food that extends beyond a veggie burger or a Greek salad? Frank Chemaly reviews Earthmother Organic in Glenwood, Durban.

Food:
This is Green with a capital G. Not only is it vegetarian, but produce is organic, free-trade, ethically sourced and so fresh it squeaks. What’s more, you can happily bring along a most serious carnivore and they won’t miss the meat. Think a variety of exotic salads, unusual bakes, quiches and more to keep most happy. Plus there’s even a gluten-free selection for the wheat intolerant. And the desserts: how can so much goodness taste so sinful?

Wine:
If you must have wine you’ll be disappointed, but smoothies and shakes are something to write home about.

Service:
Can be a little laid-back.

Ambience:
A place of rest. Chill out in the old house or while away the afternoon in the garden.

And…
If you enjoyed your meal, there’s a deli so you can take it all home. Plus catch the fresh veg market on Tuesdays and Fridays.
