Acua Bistro Opens In Karma St. Pete's Downtown Location

ST PETERSBURG, FL — A new food stop, Acua Bistro, has recently opened inside Karma St. Pete in downtown.

Acua Bistro offers soups, salads, main dishes, sides, nibbles and desserts. There's something on their menu for everyone—vegans, vegetarians and meat lovers. Some options include gluten free and dairy free.

One of the small bites sections on the menu includes spinach pie stuffed with cheese and of course spinach. It's served with labneh yogurt. Another small bite is roasted eggplant dip with pita, otherwise known as babaghanoush and pita. A hearty soup Acua offers is chili beef with smoked beef stew, red beans, sour cream, cheese and jalepenos. Gluten free housemade tortilla chips are served with it.

Fish lovers can enjoy the salmon bowl that includes sushi rice, avocado, edamame, graviax salmon, pickled onion, mango and organic seaweed. If you don't want to eat alone, head over to the shareables section of the menu and take a look at those healthy options. Who says desserts can't be somewhat healthy? Gluten free flan, cheesecake (in case you're having a "Golden Girls" moment), cassava cake, sugar-free rice pudding, superfood banana bread and soursop panna cotta can satisfy your gluten free and vegan sweet tooth.

Hours of operation are Wednesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., 1113 Central Ave., St. Pete. For the full menu, visit Acua Bistro website.
