Lovin' Oven - Frenchtown

This place is a great place to meet friends! the carnival cakes are very delicious. I wish they had more options because I'm not always in the mood for the same sweet thing.

I could list many reasons to visit Lovin' Oven. Large, open and colorful, the space itself lifts the spirit with lots of light and a cheerful bouquet of fresh flowers on every table. The owners are dedicated to using seasonal and local ingredients, which not only creates a fresh and flavorful menu, but also supports local farmers and nurtures a sense of community. The menu offers an array of interesting vegetarian and vegan options; the owners' keen understanding of the vegetarian diet helps to ensure that everyone in your group can fully enjoy their meal with peace of mind. But the main reason I urge you to come to Lovin' Oven is simply this: They Do Good Food. We stopped in for dinner during a recent visit to the area. One of the days' specials was a Roasted Red Beet and Blue Cheese Salad, and we decided to start off with that. The green salad was simple and fresh, with plenty of blue cheese crumbles and sweet beets, lightly dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette. For my entree I chose the Sauteed Dark Greens and Cannellini Beans over Herbed Polenta. Two huge squares of creamy, savory polenta served as a base for a mountain of sauteed kale and white beans, redolent of garlic and olive oil, with a splash of balsamic-kissed broth finishing it off. Each component of this rustic dish was amazing on its own perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned. Together it was just fantastic. My boyfriend opted for the Quiche of the Day, which was served with a cup of soup and a small green salad. The quiche was tasty, with a flaky crust, its custardy filling dotted with chunks of delicata squash and onions; Locatelli cheese added a sharp note. The Spiced Pumpkin Soup, though, was the real star of this show, with loads of fresh ginger to give it a kick, and just a touch of sweetness. I was tempted to get a container of this stuff to go! (It should be noted that all 3 of their soups that day were vegetarian We were excited to see that they served ice creams and sorbets from The Bent Spoon, and decided to share a 3-scoop bowlful for dessert. The ice cream was, of course, delicious but I found myself regretting the fact that I didn't try one of their amazing looking homemade desserts (Apple Caramel Cheesecake and Key Lime Pie looked especially tasty; vegan sweets offered, as well). Mugs of excellent coffee capped things off nicely. We enjoyed our meal so much that we returned for breakfast the next day equally awesome. We look forward to returning here soon and often!

The tacos were so good! very with many super fresh vegetables and on the side. there was a really good green goddess, which she dressed together with lubricated olives with some saltiness. highly recommended! the only vegan options were pancakes and the tacos and it looked like there were at least 1 vegan baked good option.

My sister had tried to bring me one last one, and finally, in this week we had free time to enjoy a nice lunch. she had the vegan tacos and I had the filled avocado salad. my grandmother, who was with us, had the Burger Special. all three of us had the fresh juice of the day. the juice was great and we all enjoyed it, as well as our respective meal times. we were all very impressed by the food and the friendly service

We go to lovin' ofen once a week without failing to dinner. (they also serve delicious lunch and breakfast - it is a 30-minute drive, but worth every minute. we love the quality of the food, the atmosphere, the diverse menu and its desserts. the farm dinner and other special dinners like the valentine dinner are not to be missed. also, Thursday is Italian night, which means that it specials that eat 3 curses for $18, a real bargain because this is quality. we love the mood of lovin' ofen. my favourite place in the usa is portland, oregon, and lovin' oven has quite a portland/West-US feel it. it's such a wonderful experience to be there, let alone eat there. music choices are also always soul warmers. so glad lovin’s ofen exists! it is so obvious a work of love for all who work there. (please note that I tried to evaluate this place five stars, but apparently only all vegetarian restaurants can be awarded five stars
