Mendocino
---------

Ukiah 955
- Non-veg. Expensive, but the flowers taste great.



Palo Alto
---------

Natural Food Stores:

Whole Food Market



San Diego
---------

Coastal California is pretty vegetarian friendly (which probably
won't suprise anyone). Here in San Diego, veggies are redily
accomodated at most restaurants. Also, the print media, in particular
the weekly "Reader" freebie magazine, considers vegetarians when
reviewing restaurants. When visiting an omnivore restaurant, the
reviewer will add something like "vegetarians will love all the
wonderful options" or "good selection of vegetarian entrees" in her
reviews. I've found a lot of great restaurants this way. If you drive
east, you're on your own. Lots of rednecks east of San Diego.


Vegetarian Restaurants:

Kung Food, 2949 Fifth Ave. (at Quince), San Diego, 298-7302.
- Kung Food is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in the world!!!
  They run a natural food store/new age shop next door.

Govinda's, 3102 University (near 30th St.), North Park, 284-4826.
-Hare Krishna lacto-vegetarian restaurant.

Govinda's At The Beach, 1030 Grand Ave., Pacific Beach, 483-2500.
-Hare Krishna lacto-vegetarian restaurant.

Jyoti-Bihanga, 3351 Adams Ave., Normal Heights, 282-4116.
- Personally, my favorite, with a Saturday morning all-you-can-eat
  vegetarian breakfast buffet (7:30am-12:00pm) that is the best I've
  come across anywhere.

Jimbo's Pizza Naturally, 3910 30th Street North Park, 294-9611.
- Non-dairy and macrobiotic pizza available.
  Also market with organic produce/grains.

House of Afrika Roots Rock Reggae Cafe, 355 North Highway 101,
  Solana Beach, 259-0803.
- Excellent!!! Highly recommended, for atmosphere if nothing else.

Eat It Raw, 1163 First Street, Encinitas, 942-5945.
- Basically a juice and salad bar, not really a restaurant.
  Still, worth a stop.

Mother's Kitchen, 33120 Canfield Road, Palomar Mountain, 742-3496.
- Quite a ways from San Diego (better part of two hours drive), but
  a nice little place on a very pretty mountainside.

Mukunda's, 8008 Girard Avenue, La Jolla, 459-2213.
- Hare Krishna.
- Gone, I believe. (??)

Che Cafe, UCSD Campus, 534-2311.
- Wednesday dinner.
- Pretty unreliable for most meals I've tried there.

Paradise Valley Hospital, 2400 E. 4th, National City, 470-6311.
Roxy Restaurant & Ice Cream, 517 First St., Encinitas, 436-5001.
Shepherd, 1126 First St., Encinitas, 753-1124.


Vegetarian friendly:

Soup Exchange, Souplantation, Soups Unlimited..., all over San Diego.
- Both Soup Exchange and Souplantation offer one or two vegetarian
  soups each day. I've found Souplantation, overall, to be more
  vegetarian friendly than Soup Exchange.

Sandwiched Inn, 927 Silverado, La Jolla, open 8:30-3:30.
- Friendly, and lots of vegan sandwiches.

Cafe India, 9760-5 Sports Arena Blvd...
- Great samosas, and $4.50 all-you-can-eat vegetarian lunch Tues-Sat.

Taste of Thai, 527 University Ave, Hillcrest.
- All dishes can be made vegetarian, but watch out... they press and
  flavor tofu to resemble duck meat, and it's a bit too realistic for
  some of us  :-)
- The service is the best of any restaurant I've been in anywhere,
  and the owner is a man with a true love for the restaurant business.
  My SO and I are very frequent customers of Taste of Thai, and we
  recommend that anyone stopping in San Diego give them a try.

Imperial Wok, 5771 La Jolla Blvd, 454-8625.
- I've never been there, but here's a quote from their ad:
  "And for our vegetarian friends... Yang's Famous Vegetarian Menu.
   We use a special family recipe of exotic spices and careful
   preparation to offer you delicious entrees with tastes of chicken,
   beef, duck, or scallops, yet completely vegetarian."

Star of India, Prospect Ave in La Jolla.
- Expensive, but good.


Natural Food Stores:

Greentree Grocers, 3560 Mount Acadia Blvd., 560-1975
- grocery store, deli, bakery, small sandwich/smoothie bar.
  They actually have a remodelled restaurant that is excellent.
  Prices are very reasonable, unlike the food store section.
- They have a great little restaurant right inside the store. Bright
  and  airy with a number of very good vegetarian selections each day.
  On weekends they have a great vegetarian breakfast.

People's Natural Food Co-op, 4765 Voltaire, 224-1387
Choices, Scripps Health Center on Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla.


Bookstar has a respectable veggie cookbook section.

San Francisco
-------------

Vegetarian Restaurants:

Milly's, 4th Street, San Rafael.
- Best gourmet vegan food I've found. Small, nice atmosphere. San
  Rafael is located about 15 minutes north of San Francisco on
  Highway 101 (across the Golden Gate). Make the trip; it's worth
  it! Popular, call for reservations.

Lotus Garden, on Grant Street, Chinatown
- Vegan. Buddhist Chinese. Excellent. Try the mu-shu "pork". Lots
  of gluten and tofu dishes. The menu is awesome in length. This
  is a place where locals eat their workday lunches (3 courses) for
  $2.95. For a full dinner, it might run $8-$12 per person.

Greens, Fort Mason
- Well-known. Gourmet fare and a great Marina and Golden Gate view.
  Popular, call for reservations.

Kowloon Restaurant, on Grant Street (?), Chinatown
- Vegan. Buddhist Chinese. Excellent gluten dishes.

Ten-Thousand Buddhas, Chinatown
- Vegetarian Chinese. 90% Vegan. Their specialty is clay pot dishes.

Govinda's, 86 Carl Street, 753-9703
- Hare Krishna vegetarian restaurant.

Ananda-Fuara, 1298 Market Street, 621-1994


Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants:

Nyala, 39 Grove Street, Civic Square
- A terrific Ethiopian restaurant right by the City Hall. Quite
  possibly the best food in SF. Interesting uses of spices. They do
  an interesting and varied vegetarian buffet for lunch and dinner.
  It was very good, pretty cheap and filling.

Brandy Ho, on Columbus (?), North Beach area
- Not completely vegetarian, but wonderful. Many fine vegetarian
  entrees. Warning, unless you have a mouth of steel, don't get any
  of the hot dishes hotter than "medium". The onion cakes appetizers
  are especially good.


Natural Food Stores:

Perfect Health-Joy-Songs, 1803 Larkspur Landing Circle, 461-6455
- Juice bar & health foods.

  The food there is fantastic. Even my vegetarian challenged friends
  like their dishes.

Pasands
- Indian food, lots of vegetarian dishes.

Fresh Choice


Natural Food Stores:

Bread of Life



Santa Cruz
----------

Here in Santa Cruz vegetarianism is quite common. Most of the grocery
stores carry organic produce. Many of the restaurants here have
vegetarian items on the menu. Santa Cruz is a mecca for vegetarians.

Keffi

Dharma's

Bloodroot, 85 Ferris St, (203)576-9168

  popular, and so reservations would be a good idea.

Almost all restaurants in Ann Arbor have substantial vegetarian
selections, and will often modify dishes to make them vegatarian.

Detroit
-------

Most restaurants in Metro Detroit are NOT vegetarian friendly;
here are some wonderful exceptions:

Vegetarian Restaurants:

Govinda's, 383 Lenox Avenue, 331-6740
-Hare Krishna vegetarian restaurant.

Pure N' Simple, 2791 Rochester Road, Troy, just north of I-75
entrance, (313) 528-0840
- Good food, big menu. Slow service, but worth the wait if you have
  some time. Seventh Day Adventist. Open Sun 12-8; Mon-Thurs 11:30-8;
  Fri 11:30-3; closed Saturday.


Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants:

Inn Season, 500 E. 4th Street, downtown Royal Oak, (313) 547-7916
- Good food, almost all vegetarian except for a fish special. Very
  popular; may have to wait on the sidewalk for 30 minutes during
  peak hours (so dress warmly in winter).

Taste of Thailand, 2755 University Drive, Auburn Hills, close to I-75
entrance, (313) 373-4422
- Most Thai restaurants around Detroit have practically no vegetarian
  entrees on the menu. Taste of Thailand offers most of its entrees
  with the option of tofu. Food is superb.

Sweet Lorraine's Cafe, 29101 Greenfield, Southfield, (313) 559-5985
- Has a variety of vegetarian entrees and sandwiches on the menu.
  Food is creative and tasty.

Anita's Kitchen, 110 W. Maple Road, Troy, (313) 362-0680
- Middle Eastern cuisine, with many Middle Eastern vegetarian dishes,
  as well as a great veggie lasagna, and, best of all, several really
  good vegetarian soups.

Good Food East, 74 W. Maple Road, Troy, (313) 362-0886
- Probably the largest health food store in Metro Detroit, with a deli
  which I believe is entirely vegetarian, and a small cafe area.

Oneonta
-------

In the "small" town of Oneonta there are about 20 pizza joints where
you have no problem ordering pizza sans cheese.

They have one restaurant that (used to be exclusively) serves vegetarian
and vegan meals (I had scrambled tofu w/whole wheat toast and home fries
for breakfast the other day). This place is ALWAYS packed.

There are restaurants that cater to a vegetarian clientelle, and rarely
look askance when you ask for something sans meat or query them about
the soup stock, etc. I was at one place a few weeks ago and happen to be
an acquaintance of the manager. I told him that the dinner menu needed
more vegetarian, low-fat (not cheese laden) meals. The salad bar is
excellent there, so at least that's something. He said they tried a
veggie burger at lunch, and it was wildly successful, so they are going
to add things to their dinner menu as well.



Rochester
---------

BTB (Blessed Thistle Bakery), 1?? University Avenue
- Vegetarian. Has a small cafe that is pretty good. The bread is
  excellent!

Aladdin's, on Monroe
- Middle-Eastern. Falafel, etc.

Oscar's, Monroe Ave. near Goodman
- Though the last time I recommended this place, they had a Hepatitis alert!!

Hong Kong, on Alexander St. between Park and East
- Will make almost any dish vegetarian. Moo Shu No-Pork is very good.
  Chinese Vegetable with Garlic Sauce is my all time favorite.

Alexi's, on Monroe near Aladdin's
- Excellent Veg Pizza and Pasta.

Alvin Ord's, on Monroe across from Aladdin's
- Excellent Veg Sandwich. Tofu burgers.

Big Apple, Park Ave. btwn Culver & Berkley
- Some excellent veg dishes. Great atmosphere, a little expensive.

Thai Taste, Mt. Hope plaza
- _Cheap_ food. They'll do most of their dishes vegetarian on request.

Raj Mahal, corner of Monroe and Alexander

Wildseeds Bookstore and Cafe, 7?? University Avenue

Syracuse
--------

It has been extremely frustrating trying to eat vegetarian in Syracuse.
Eeating out is a real problem.  I am not all that crazy about salad
and I have been actually lectured by people when I ask for things that
are not specifically on the menu. The two mexican joints I have tried
both appear to put bacon in their beans. It is REALLY difficult to find
Italian foods here that are not laden with cheese and/or meat.

Dallas / Fort Worth
-------------------

Kalachandji's, 5430 Gurley Ave, 827-6330
- Hare Krishna lacto-vegetarian restaurant. They serve an all-you-can-
  eat buffet twice a day. Dinner's ~$8, lunch is cheaper. BTW:
  Kalachandji's is a favorite with visiting veggy musicians, many of
  whom have left autographed pictures and letters of recommendation
  to be displayed in the lobby. Among them are Crissie Hynde(sp?),
  Annie Lennox, and the B-52's.

Paisley Palace, 6106 Luther Lane at Preston, 368-2456
- Really good veggy-Indian cuisine. Too bad the atmosphere is, well,
  absent; it has all the ambience of a sub shop. You might try it at
  lunch, when atmosphere isn't as important.

Phil`s Cafe, 2815 Elm Street, 761-8400
- Not strictly veggy, but close. Basically Tex-Mex, with lots of
  interesting items like black bean nachos, and spinach enchilladas.
  Good budget food. Open late.

La Suprema, on Military Parkway, almost in Mesquite
- Mexican food,

Thai Soon, on lower Greenville Avenue

Kebab 'n' Kurry, the one in Richardson
(I-75, between Beltline & Arapaho)(?)
- Above average Indian fare.

Shalimar
- South Indian, great Masala Dosa.

El Guyo de Oro, on Maple
- Hole in the wall Mexican/Guatamalan. Mostly omnivorous, but good
  Chile Rellenos and beans

Whole Foods Market
- Has a great deli.

Akbar ( at Northeast Corner of COIT & Beltline)
- Indian food.

India ( or Bombay?? ) Palace ( SW corner of COIT & LBJ FWay )
- Indian food.

If you're stuck with a group of carnivores who want to go to
one of the popular places, Tia's (Tex-Mex), Chili's (Southwestern)
and Houstons and TGI Fridays (steak/burgers) all offer veggie
alternatives, though the best dish at Houstons, the California Salad
is off the menu but still available.

Bellevue
--------

Raga, 556 108th Ave NE, Bellevue, 450-0336
- Very impressive. If you like good Indian food, it's worth a trip to
  Bellevue to check this place out. There is a nice vegetarian section
  on the menu. Dinner is order-off-the-menu, the mostly vegetarian
  all-you-can-eat lunch buffet is $6.95, and well worth it.

The Twelve Baskets, 201 106th NE, 455-3684
- "Health food" restaurant that has grown up into a fair sized
  vegetarian restaurant.



Everett
-------

The India Palace, 1405 Hewitt Ave., 252-8543
- Lunch and dinner 7-days a week.  All you can eat buffet lunch is
  $5.95 and available on weekends too.



Glacier
-------

There is a WONDERFUL little place that I can't remember the name of,
almost entirely veggie. Its about a mile out of glacier (the foot of
Mt. Baker) right on the "highway". It's very small. On weekend
evenings you will NOT get in without a reservation.

The italian restaurant right in Glacier is incredible, too.
Terrific veggie lasagna and run by super people.



Seattle
-------

The Seattle area has a fair number of vegetarians, and is a pretty
good place for vegetarians to live. There is Puget Consumer Coop,
a natural food coop with 5 area stores (most of which are full
supermarket size).  There are several good all-vegetarian
restaurants, many restaurants that have at least a few vegetarian
dishes, and most of those that don't are very accommodating about
whipping up something special.

Public transit is really decent in Seattle and free in the core of
downtown. Off peak bus service to other places (like the U-district)
is $.75, $1.00 at peak times and you can get a transfer good for 2
hours.


Vegetarian Restaurants:

Bamboo Garden, 364 Roy Street (Queen Anne area), 282-6616
- They are a kosher vegan Chinese restaurant (really!)
  They have vegan "meat" dishes.

Blue Planet, 2208 North 45th, 632-0750
- Organic multicultural cuisine and a juice bar.

Cafe Flora, E. Madison St. (in the heart of the Madison Valley).
- Stay away if things yuppie make you ill, but if you enjoy artsy
  food, no alcohol and a pleasant environment that just happens to be
  vegetarian, this is a nice place. Entrees run around 6.95 to 9.95;
  portions are good, some vegan options. Like I said, if you think
  that nice interior decoration is yuppie, stay away. Also, Cafe Flora
  is doing *a lot* of business: early evening is always very busy.

Five Loaves Deli, 2719 E Madison (Madison Park area), 726-7989
- Vegan. A Seventh Day Adventist bakery and deli. Great Sunday brunch.
  Closed Friday and Saturday.

Flowers, 42nd and University (University District)

  Many choices are vegan.  Excellent lunch buffet with pasta
  (containing eggs) being the only non-vegan choices.

- Simple vegan food, really good baked items, latte with soy milk.
  Funky atmosphere; worker owned.

Gravity Bar, 2 locations:
  415 Broadway E, (Capitol Hill), 325-7186
  113 Virginia, (near Pike Place Public Market), 448-8826
- To quote their menu, "modern food". All sorts of rather strange dishes
  and lots of fresh fruit and veggie drinks. Maybe more yuppified than
  some places, but certainly good juice bar with some meal items also.

Honey Bear Bakery, 56th and Meridian
- Good bakery with a few lunch choices that are all vegetarian.

Mid City Cafe 401 Yale Ave North  Phone: 623-7979
- Lacto-vegetarian

Morningtown Cafe, 41st and Roosevelt

- All vegetarian Indian food. Lots of vegan items. Sri Chinmoy fans

- One of Seattle's good Middle-Eastern restaurants.

Axum, 42nd & Brooklyn in the U-district
- Good Ethiopian food with reasonable vegetarian choices.

Cafe Haney, 5327 Ballard Avenue
- Wonderful vegetarian (ovo-lacto) selections:  their vegetable
  pot-pie is amazing, and their Saturday and Sunday breakfast menu has
  a few selections (such as the eggs florentine) that shouldn't be missed.

Cafe Loc, 2 locations:
  407 Broad (near Seattle Center)
  Food Circus at Seattle Center
- Inexpensive good Vietnamese entrees. Lots of vegetarian stuff.

Cafe Long 12517 Lake City Way NE in Lake City
- Good assortment of cheap Vietnamese food, a large percentage
  of which are vegetarian.

Grand Palace, 417 2nd Avenue
- Thai restaurant. Curried vegetables and tofu. Noodles and vegetable
  soup.

Julia's, two locations:
  in Wallingford, 1714 N 44th, (Wallingford)
  Park Place, 5410 Ballard Ave NW, (Ballard)
- Wallingford is probably the better choice for veggie choices.
  A mid-priced restaurant with beer and wine.  Not hippie, not
  formal, just all around pleasant.

King's Chinese Restaurant, 15th NE and Lake City Way (maple leaf area)
- Now Chinese and Thai with lots of vegetarian choices. Healthy: no
  MSG, brown rice available.

New Orleans Restaurant, 81 Yesler Way, Pioneer Square, 622-2563
- Here's something different for the Pacific Northwest - Creole food.

  vegetarian variety. They also make a vegetarian eggplant dish.

Panchito's, 1st and Cherry, Pioneer Square
- Mexican restaurant. Lardless refried beans, burritos and tacos.

- A fresh food cafe (ingredients come from the market itself) with
  lots of vegetarian choices.
