The sunny room was crowded and cheerful with sunflowers everywhere. Across the street from the Howard University School of Business there's a cool-looking cafe that features both raw and cooked vegan favorites. This veggie landmark on the Pike has a large, comprehensive menu that includes organic, macrobiotic and Heart Healthy Choice dishes selected by Suburban Hospital. The menu lists all ingredients and gives a picture of the finished dish as well. Chef Li Ming Tai's Chinese cooking is so beautifully presented on platters with elaborate carved vegetable garnishes.
Mock meats are a specialty here.
M Street NW, 338-6450 Mostly vegan. Never seem to be open on weekend late afternoons. Chips and salsa, for example use banana chips that they dry in the sun. The fake meat entrees are completely unique, and will be loved by some and hated by others. All items are analyzed for fat and caloric composition.
