Russell LJanuary 23, 2016Eggplant sandwich is great! The sauce with the potatoes is also really good. And the vegan cheese plate is totally worth it. Everything is maybe a little more pricey than you might want.
Almost everything can be made vegan. Win! Definitely try the specials, which change daily. For starters, the stuffed dates, bruschetta and soup are always delicious. As is the hearty dark green salad!- Ashley MowreyOctober 26, 2014The black bean burger is the best vegan burger I've had yet. Try the vegan cheese board and the dates stuffed with goat cheese, amazing.
Chad BApril 24, 2015Try their peppered portobello mushroom sandwich. It also comes with vegan and gluten free option.
Yve FontileaAugust 10, 2013Delicious vegetarian and vegan menu - the hijiiki sea cakes and the chocolate cake are amazing.
Angela di TenebreJune 21, 2013In honor of stone fruit season, there's a yummy nectarine salad, and a seared stone fruit bruschetta that is unbelievably good. I waited too long deciding whether to order a second - they ran out!
Chrissy PuccioMarch 27, 2016Get the marinated mushrooms! With smoked pecan pate, cornichon, house made fig chutney, mustard and crisp crostini. Best vegan place I've eaten at.
Inderpreet SinghNovember 6, 2014They started serving lunch and it's just as tasty and well priced. Super tasty vegan/vegetarian food.
Flavia GreyOctober 10, 2012Encuentro is awesome! The decor is simple, modern and chic. The vegan specials are absolutely delicious and the service is super friendly.
TinaJune 13, 2014Nice space. Small, but service was great. Stopped by for a glass of wine after work 👍🍷🍷
Jackie WheelerMay 4, 2010Stunningly fabulous food, an incredible set of wines by the glass that are super cheap at happy hour, perfect service, and a very nice atmosphere. You must try this place.
Keelia MurphyJune 19, 2013Lots of amazing vegan and gluten free options, and they accommodate nut allergies as well :)
Eric FloydSeptember 16, 2011Excellent choice of unique mostly local wines! Food is vegetarian and vegan but not lacking flavor. Don't skip dessert!
I'd say try the black bean burger, but they took it off the menu. GAH! So, try the truffled popcorn and the gnocchi!
Daniel MarkhamMarch 23, 2011The Gigante Bean Gratan is the most honest thing in the "small plates" section... and delicious.
Avocado, chili jam, olive oil and black salt bruschetta. Mmmmnmnmmmmm...
Mike C.May 4, 2010Great ultra tasty vegan options! Including desserts! Small place. Seats fill fast.
Down an entire bottle of wine by the bar and admire the artwork.
