Recess

Recess Krog is a great spot for tasty and healthy meals. The Don Diego is awesome – it's got this mix of black beans, avocado, and corn that's really flavorful. It's filling but still feels light and fresh. Then there's the Sweeter Greens salad. It's full of fresh greens and veggies, and the dressing is sweet and tangy. It's a really good mix of flavors and super refreshing. Both these dishes stand out because of how fresh and delicious they are. Definitely a must-try place if you're looking for something healthy and yummy.

This place is seriously amazing! There are vegan and celiac safe gluten free options. Even the FRIES ARE GLUTEN FREE because it’s a dedicated fryer! Ordered the Copacabana with added carnitas and I can’t stop thinking about it, the Year of the Tiger bowl with chicken was super tasty and filling, and the vegan cream sauce on the loaded fries is to die for. Definitely a great choice for lunch but the market has limited seating so you should get it to go.

My partner and I have a whole list of allergies and Recess is very allergen friendly, labeling their entire menu. We’re so far beyond that that we provide our own custom printed allergy card for the kitchen. Not only were they completely accommodating, but the food was clean and so delicious. We plan on returning often. Highly recommended.

What a great food place! The employees are super nice and the food was excellent. Though I only had the loaded sweet potatoes, the quality of the side item is most likely representative of yummy options on their entire menu. The loaded sweet potatoes fries came with chives, garlic and chipotle aioli, and chili crisps. The aioli was reminiscent of crème fraiche type sauce and tasted delightful with the chives and chili flakes. I wish the sweet potatoes were thicker and had more of a meaty and soft center to counterbalance crispy, dry texture of the other layer. Yes, my many years of watching cooking shows and eating at amazing restaurants has earned me an honorary culinary degree (jokes). I’m excited to return and try the other items on the menu. I definitely recommend this cute vegan spot to other foodies out there looking for healthy, or food tolerant, options.

It was a little bit irritating to find this restaurant as the location has been changed from inside Krog Street Market to inside Bar Mercado. Meaning that you have two menus (omnivore Menü of Bar Mercado and vegan/veg menu of Recess) in one restaurant. The vegan bowl was outstanding. The seasoning was a really flavourful southern style. The Malbec (propably not vegan) and the brussel sprouts were also great. The crew was unbelievable attentive and kind. This is a good place for groups or couples with different food preferences. Vegans and non-vegans alike will be happy.
