Must try: Black-eyed Pea Cake

V-Note, an organic wine bar and vegan bistro has debuted on the Upper East Side.

Opened by Ronen Seri’s of Blossom and Café Blossom, V-Note invites one to sip on drinks that are vegan and organic and experiment with a menu of gourmet vegan dishes.

V-Note offers a full menu with appetizers, entrees and desserts. They also offer many combinations of fruit and vegetable juices.

I found the appetizers to be more appealing than the entrees. The food was tasty though not particularly healthy as a lot of what we tried was fried or tended to be on the heavier side.

V-Note is the first vegan restaurant I have tried and I was very pleasantly surprised. I can’t wait to try more!

Here is some of what we ate:

Juice

Black-Eyed Pea Cake

Mushroom Phyllo Cigars

Lasagna
