- Bar on Buena - this place is in Buena Park near where I used to live. It has great beers on tap, and yes, also tasty food. It was a surprise to me that a bar would have so many vegetarian options. My parents (especially my dad) also love this place.
- Indie Cafe - a little Japanese/Thai restaurant nearby...I am slightly obsessed with their Panang curry.
- Hopleaf - okay, this is another bar, but it's a Belgian bar in Andersonville with very tasty and interesting beers and excellent food -- again, surprisingly vegetarian-friendly.
- Heartland Cafe - I love this place not only because they have a huge and very healthy menu, but also because they have a general store with all kinds of organic & natural goodies.
- Green Zebra - This is one of my favorite splurges, an upscale vegetarian restaurant in West Town that is really tasty. I like that their courses are small so that I can try a lot of things, and their special non-alcoholic beverage concoctions are amazing (pink peppercorn thyme soda?! Great idea!)
- Bin 36 - This is where Mark and I had our wedding reception a couple of years ago -- it's not the most vegetarian-focused (you have to ask for the current vegetarian dish, which isn't included on their regular menu), but it's doable and for omnivores and those who love wine and cheese, it's delicious.
- Hannah's Bretzel - a little organic sandwich shop downtown at Washington & Wells. I rarely run out to buy lunch, typically opting to pack food, but when I do go out, this is one of my favorite places. Their sandwiches are tasty and fresh, and they also feature an entire wall of premium chocolate bars...my kind of place!
- Alice & Friends - Korean vegan restaurant near where I live. The whole atmosphere in this place is so serene, and they make some really good unmeat (I'm generally not a fan of plant-based meat imitations, but this place does unmeat really convincingly and it's yummy.)
Okay, I have to run and get ready for work now...I'll add on later if I think of more!
