Herbivore

A vegan restaurant.

Before the voluntary convultion sets in, it is not that bad despite the various limitations of a vegan diet; after all, nobody opens a second restaurant if the concept is a flop. It is a fun alternative to the pedestrian fare of everyday.

Anyway, the menu is an eclectic selection of global dishes adopted to the vegan requirements. With a long tradition of vegetarian fare, Asian preparations do play a fairly prominent role although localization to the American palates has made the food less intimidating for the locals. The savory crepes with curry sauce and potatoes is a comfort food when a starch fix is called for. The coconut noodle soup comes with rice noodles, tofu, spinach, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, pineapple, bean sprouts, oyster mushrooms, green onions and cilantro; an interesting adoption of the spicy Malaysian Laksa Lemak.




The crepe and coconut noodle may not be the best in the gastronomic sense, but for light-handed vegan treatment of everyday dishes, Herbivore offers a welcome alternative in this noisy world of industrial agriculture.
