Eat*Drink*Cleveland: downtown

#CLEfood - REBol on Public Square

Have you been to Public Square lately? Since it's renovation, Public Square is a vibrant and fun place to hang out right in the heart of the city. It's not just a place to drive by, but a destination all its own.

There's also a new eatery right on the Square - REBol. It's an upscale fast casual restaurant that, like its sister restaurant TownHall, is 100% non-GMO. They also are mostly organic and offer many gluten-free options. It is a great place to eat downtown that is tasty, affordable and heathy too. It may be tiny but it packs a lot into the small space. When the weather is nice, grab a spot on the patio for great views and people watching.

We wanted to eat everything because it all sounded so good! Thanks to the kitchen making us sample size portions of some items, we managed to try a lot:

NO.11 BAHN MI PORK NACHOS $10

These were so good! The pulled pork is packed with flavor and the Asian twist is fun. The wonton chips didn't hold up very well, but it was a great starter.

GRILLED CARROT + JALAPENO HUMMUS PLATE $6

Carrots and hummus go really well together. Ours came with wonton chips but you can order veggies instead, which we did. I liked the veggies better - they really made the carrot flavor pop.

NO. 2 GINGER STEAK N' EGG $8.50

Our favorite dish! Packed full of flavor thanks to the fresh ginger and who can resist an 8 minute egg. This is actually served in chicken bone broth. I think it would be great with the zucchini noodles too.

NO.9 PULLED PORK $7.50

The was almost identical to the nachos - I should have paid more attention when I was ordering. But the good news is - order either one and you'll be happy.

POURSTEADY POUROVER

This coffee is amazing. They even have a special machine that makes if for you so it's perfection every single time.

TURMERIC LATTE $5

Our server suggested this and I was so glad we listened. It's way better than a pumpkin spice latte (and better for you!) and the yellow color is gorgeous. I can't get this out of my mind. (almond milk, coconut oil, grass fed butter, honey, vanilla and cinnamon)

PEANUT BUTTER + HONEY MILKSHAKE $7.50

Last and certainly not least, we split one of these amazing milkshakes. Holy moly - this is a MUST DO. Do not share - just order your own. You'll thank me once you try it. I was so enthralled, I forgot to take a picture. Oops! It's Pierre's Vanilla Ice Cream, Graham Crackers and milk. What a way to end the night!

They also have craft beer and cocktails and really cool cans of wine.

We really enjoyed our meal. Everything was delicious and the servers were knowledgeable and friendly. REBol is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lunch is super busy so plan accordingly or get take out. Do yourself a favor and grab a chocolate chip cookie for later too.
