Peacefood - Union Square

Unclaimed

Came here to have a little birthday dinner with my husband. We enjoyed everything about this establishment. The decor is gorgeous and really sets the mood, the space has really great energy. It's lower lighting in the evening, candles on the table- but it's not a hindrance like it can be in some other places. It's perfect. It's not loud or overwhelming, jazz covers of well-known songs were playing when we were there, and it was very enjoyable to listen for what would play next. The service was incredible from start to finish. Everyone was so welcoming and warm. I also appreciated that they weren't overbearing, our wait person- Nathan, had great timing, was great at his job overall, and was very charming. We had a lot of fun and laughs with him! Definitely adds to the overall vibe of the place. Let's talk about this food... it's incredible. The portions are extremely generous, everything was fresh and hot, and the flavors were to die for. We started off with a smoothie at my husband's suggestion because it sounded really good- and it was SO fresh and beautifully made, I can't remember which kind it was, but I can remember I was happy and will be trying more in the future- and that's all that matters! My husband had a curry dish that was phenomenal (too spicy for me, but I did steal some bites anyway because it was very good). I ordered the burger and fries, and I thought it was an absolute showstopper. The flavors were out of this world and the focaccia bread it comes on was so soft and pillowy, almost doughy and perfectly complimented the burger with all of the wonderful toppings. This dish came with fries that were very crispy and tasty. My husband kept stealing bites from me too! Everything was presented very nicely, and I think the price point is extremely reasonable for the ingredients, the portions, and the experience you'll get here. We were absolutely stuffed by the time we were through with dinner, but wanted to get a piece of cake to go, so we went over to peruse the bakery case and took a look at the menu as well. We took home a slice of carrot cake at Nathan's suggestion, and when we were finally able to eat it the next day- it was a delight. Some of the best carrot cake I've had, hands down. I have a huge sweet tooth, and that's not generally what I would jump at, but this was different, and I'm looking forward to having it again. Overall, I would highly recommend dining here and supporting this business in full- I can't wait to go again!

This place is a real gem. My husband and I recently visited and ordered the chickpea fries, Japanese pumpkin sandwich, and seitan medallion panini - and every dish exceeded our expectations. Their infamous chickpea fries are an absolute must-try; we were blown away by the explosion of flavors in the sauce. I was initially skeptical about ordering the seitan medallion, as I've never had good experience with seitan and always found it to be dry in taste at other vegan spots. But this panini was a game-changer - it was incredibly flavorful and didn't disappoint at all. The Japanese pumpkin sandwich was another highlight, with the perfect combination of roasted pumpkin and caramelized onions. We loved every dish we tried, and even saved room for the raw cacao mousse pie, which was the perfect finishing touch to our meal. To top it all off, the service was extremely good - our server was attentive, making our dining experience truly exceptional at this place. Can't wait to go again and try remaining dishes.

Peacefood in Union Square is a fantastic vegan spot! Delicious and creative plant-based dishes, from sandwiches and pizzas to their famous chickpea fries. A must-visit for vegans and anyone looking for healthy, flavorful food in NYC.

Spectacular tastes! Each dish was subtle yet perfectly seasoned. The "eel" sushi appetizer was phenomenal and we really felt like it was meat! The spicy wonton and chick pea fries as appetizers. All were outstanding! We had the crab cakes, grilled.oyster mushrooms with kale, and pom poms mushrooms. All were outstanding and satiating. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. I'm sorry we dug in too fast to take photos.
