Fast food restaurants are great to have around and yeah, the local health foods store or deli is nice too, but sometimes we deserve a little more as vegetarians. Fast food joints and your average vegetarian friendly restaurant just doesn't cut it. After a little research and a vacation trip, I've found the best of the best restaurants in the nation that are all about us. I also looked up some very good restaurants in Russia for my international viewers and a few in Europe as well.
The Candle 79, also known as The Candle Cafe, which is located in New York, New York. There are two choices, you can eat at the upper east side restaurant or the upper west side restaurant. Both restaurants are the same and amazing. The food is fresh, organic and 100% vegan. This fantastic eatery was started in 1984 and has been rated the #1 vegetarian restaurant by Zagat.
The Green Zebra is located in Chicago and is a top-notch restaurant. The chef, Shawn McClain, has been awarded with the title "Best Chef in the Mid-West" and his culinary talents really show that title is beyond true. The Green in the restaurant's title comes from the Chef's philosophy that revolves around having the best and most fresh ingredients for his customers.
The Madeleine Bistro is located in Tarzana, California. This bistro is crazy. The culinary visionary for this restaurant is David Anderson who is one of the top, and I mean top, Chefs/students/people. He has been named "Chef of the Year" and has been in countless magazines and he was the first vegetarian chef to be asked to participate in the Epcot Food and Wine Festival at Disney. He was also involved in Oprah Winfrey's 21-day vegan cleanse. Their menu is extensive to say the least and you can find almost anything and everything you could desire there.
And lastly, Sublime. Sublime is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A very close-to-home place for me that I'm dying to go to. This restaurant isn't only know for their 4 out of 4 star cuisine, but the atmosphere is beautiful! Cascading window waterfalls, scenic lighting, open-hearth oven, Italian glass tiles and a rainforest-type atmosphere...It's high class eating. It has been named the "Top in Restaurant Decor" and USA Today, Sun-Sentenial has named it one of the top ten restaurants in the nation. The restaurant is also visited frequently by big-name stars like Alec Baldwin, Pamela Anderson, Paul McCartney and Bob Barker.
For out-of-the-country vegetarian dining, these are a few:
The Botanika Cafe was opened by an american vegetarian and yoga pioneer. This true vegetarian restaurant is located in 7, Pestelya Str, Metro: Chernishevskaya, Saint Petersburg Russia. At this restaurant you can find Russian, Italian, Japanese and Indian foods and every sandwich has a pretty funny name.
The Avocado is a vegetarian restaurant located in Moscow, Russia. The restaurant has a very diverse menu, pulling in food from all around the world. It has a typical Russian atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
The Idiot restaurant is definitely a great spot for veggie food. Aside from the name this place is represents a hero's atmosphere and you'd have to be a idiot not to go there. It is a low-budget fort of place located in St. Petersburg, Russia. It has a 18-19 century look to it and the menu was written by the famous writer Dostoevsky.
La Mano Verde is located in Kempkinski Plaza, Uhlandstrasse in Berlin, Germany. This is a vegan, raw, gourmet sort of place. Half is raw and half is cooked food, with organic beer and wine galore! It's a 4.5/5 rated restaurant and, I mean, they have a vegan dish that looks like sushi...It's definitely an open-minded place.
I hope that one of these restaurants are close to home and that you get the chance to check em' out. They are definitely not a waste of time or money and you won't be sorry you went. I'll try and find more vegetarian restaurants around the world and write another post about them soon.
