Elaine's Healthy Choice is one of the newest vegan restaurants in New Haven, Connecticut. If you're ever in the area, you simply must stop by and check it out.

Back in the spring of 2008 (how time is flying by), some of my friends and I drove down to Connecticut to visit some friends. That was my very first trip to Connecticut, and I absolutely loved it.

While there, we ate at Elaine's Healthy Choice restaurant many times.

Being strict vegetarians on a plant-based diet, we are always thrilled to try new vegan restaurants. We love variety.

Isn't it so nice to be able to sit back, relax, and safely select any dish you want from the menu?

Everything on the menu at Elaine's Healthy Choice is plant-based, flavorful, and good for you. They don't use any animal products or harmful ingredients.

The prices are very reasonable in this restaurant. And they give you more than enough food to keep you satisfied for hours.

The food is cooked Jamaican style, and I must say, everything I tried was delicious.

I had a salad with a savory dressing that made me want to keep on eating more and more salad.

The split peas soup was really nice as well. It was thick, full of flavor, and perfect for preparing the stomach for the main course.

The dinner roll was fresh and yummy! I found myself savoring every single bite and wishing that it would last a little bit longer. There's nothing like good home-made bread.

Did I mention that all the bread at Elaine's Healthy Choice is made fresh, in-house? What a difference in taste!

I was nearing full (it doesn't take much to fill my little stomach), so I tried only a very small portion of the vegetarian pepper steak. It was really delicious too.

Here's a picture of the owners, Elaine and Richard.
They are super sweet and friendly.

Notice the cookies on the tray in the picture on the left?

They are soooo good!

My mouth is watering just thinking about them!

The cookies are so huge you may not be able to eat a whole cookie in one sitting.

I didn't get a chance to try the carob brownies, but I'm sure they're really yummy too.

Next time I visit Connecticut, I'm going to plan enough time to sample all the dishes! :-)
