For this month’s vegan Adventure Dinner we head to Jacksonville’s newest gastropub. From the creators of the ever popular burger spot Epik Burger (make sure to check out their killer vegan options!), comes Empire City Gastropub. Like its namesake city, Empire City offers up a true melting pot of flavors from all over the globe. From Southern to Asian to Irish, Empire City has them all. Join us for a 6 course Adventure Dinner which includes an Arnaud Palmer cocktail: Bombay sapphire gin, cynar liquor + lillet rouge + sherry + crème de cassis + hibiscus tea. This one will likely sell out so grab your tickets early!

First course: Fresh Cucumber Watermelon Gazpacho

Second course: Vegan Lumpia

Third course: Falafel Sliders with Housemade Sundried Tomato Spread

Fourth course: Beet Tenderloin, Vanilla Bean Mashed Potatoes, Miso-Vegetable Demi Glace

Fifth course: Summer Fruit Intermezzo

Sixth Course: Flourless Chocolate Cake with peanut butter ganache and raspberry coulis

In case you’re wondering who’s putting on this event: We are a group of people who are passionate about the success of locally owned restaurants. Part of that passion is hand selecting a series of restaurants to host Adventure Dinners to showcase the most premiere cuisine in Jacksonville. These are ticketed, creatively designed, set menu events that focus on unique cuisine that highlights the restaurant’s strengths. These dinners are an experience and value that are exclusive to Jacksonville Restaurant Reviews readers. Please know that we are intentional about making sure every aspect of this Adventure Dinner is vegan and nothing you eat or drink will have come into contact with animal products.
