I had the pleasure of trying Durvo today for its soft opening, a new upscale vegan restaurant near the strip. The decor and ambiance was beautiful, with cute dim lighting that created a romantic atmosphere. This would be an excellent spot for a friend or romantic date night, and I was told it would also be open late. I was definitely blown away by how elegant, modern, and chic it was.
We started with the artichoke dip, which was creamy, flavorful, and well-presented. I think it was possibly made with garbanzo beans to give it a thicker texture, but don't quote me on that. Usually I'm not a big fan of artichoke dip but i absolutely would order this again.
The cilantro ranch salad was refreshing, with marinated and fresh tomatoes, a light yet creamy dressing, and the dill that added depth to the flavor. My 9 year old son, who is also a vegan foodie, loved this salad.
The pistachio pesto rigatoni was outstanding, with a creamy and smooth pesto sauce that was super on point. Pesto can also be hot or miss for me, usually dry or lack of flavor. This was not the case at all for this pasta, and might have a hard time ordering something else on the menu when I come back. My son rated it 10/10.
The black bean burger was also impressive, with a smooth texture and a slaw that had a nice kick.
The black bean patty was not crumbly or dry. The truffle garlic chips were a great addition on the side.
For dessert, we had a refreshing combination of a matcha whip, mango puree, and walnut ice cream combo that ended the meal on a high note. I was super full but managed to finish my dessert anyways.
The details, atomosphete and quality was absolutely on point. Make sure to support our new vegan restaurant opening Friday, Durvo, located on Trop and Decature! Congratulations to Rayna Makariev and Trench Picone. They are both friendly and charismatic people, that clearly have a lot of pride in their restaurant. Thank you for inviting me and my son tonight!
