You could start dinner with a Belgian leek and brie quiche or pissaladiere, a creation from the South of France that s topped with onions and olives. The menu at this casual restaurant in Brookfield is long, but it s also dotted with some great meatless choices. One section, for example, lists seven meatless pastas, ranging from simple fettuccine Alfredo to fancier creations with wild mushrooms. There are ravioli stuffed with mushrooms, artichokes and spinach and a vegetable lasagna, along with a nice selection of wines to accompany dinner. Any list of vegetarian places in the Milwaukee area must include this popular east-side establishment.
Fresh pies make great desserts.
While many entrees at this popular downtown restaurant have meat, fish or chicken, there s a good selection of items that don t, including pastas and pizzas. The quality of food is good and the atmosphere is reminiscent of California. If you re looking for something light, try the house chopped salad. The extensive menu at this east side restaurant lists a dozen meatless meals, many of which feature tofu. One of my favorite dishes is kung pao bean curd, which can satisfy a craving for spicy food without burning your tongue.
