Danville’s eagerly awaited, veggie-forward Blossom & Root will open it doors on Aug. 30, with the Tri-Valley’s first menu to showcase vegan fare.
It’s a move six years in the making, says owner Susan Vergilio, whose daughter inspired their entire family to go vegan. The only problem with that lifestyle change? There weren’t many restaurant options at the time where their family could dine out. So Vergilio, whose background is in chemistry and teaching, set out to change that, learning not only how to create a menu of delicious, high-level dishes — the executive chef is Jen Sopinsky — but how to open and run a restaurant.
Blossom & Root is located at 411 Hartz Ave. in downtown Danville. It is the first entirely vegan restaurant in the Tri-Valley area. Blossom & Root’s light, bright atmosphere is inspired by nature. It’s a welcoming spot with artwork created by family members and wallpaper that sports nature-inspired motifs.
The summer poke at Blossom & Root in Danville is made with carrots, watermelon radish, cucumber, jalapeño, tomato rice, wasabi aioli and other ingredients. In addition to soups and salads, you’ll find larger plates such as poke, masa cake, a plant-based burger and a mushroom sandwich. The latter is made with breaded, deep-fried maitake mushrooms and topped with a crispy slaw, pickled jalapeños and charred chili jam and served on a soft roll .
