Raw Veggie Eatery Closes Abruptly

A Larkspur restaurant that attracted national attention for its raw vegetarian cuisine has closed abruptly with little explanation.

Roxanne’s ended its 2 1/2 -year run Tuesday, despite a reputation that reaped accolades in many of America’s major food publications and drew tourists from all over the world.

Roxanne Klein, who was executive chef at Roxanne’s, took an artist’s approach to raw, or living, foods. Her dinners featured six or seven courses and were especially popular among diners seeking healthy meals.

Roxanne’s To Go, a takeout deli next door to the restaurant, will remain open.
