Although a majority of its menu is filled with vegan options, it includes the same quality of options for seafood and meat lovers as well.
The cozy and casual atmosphere of the restaurant is only amplified by its waterside location, providing stunning views of the Northport Harbor-- and often a gorgeous sunset-- from its outdoor deck. The view paired with its variety of menu options makes for a great dining experience.
The Purple Elephant prioritizes the freshness of its ingredients over all else. This is reflected in their menus, which “are updated daily to showcase the freshest ingredients, as well as the dynamic flares of globally-inspired cuisine,” The Purple Elephant website states.
Some of its menu highlights include its vegan Crispy "Beef" Empanadas with Avocado Mojo appetizer, Country Fried Seitan, and non-vegan Grass Fed Steak "Churrasco" Con Tres Salsas. Its menus vary from lunch to dinner, so be sure to check out each menu on its website before visiting.
On the beverage side of things, The Purple Elephant showcases its renowned "clean cocktail" menu, as well as its dynamic selection of organic wines and local, handcrafted beers.
