Buffalo, NY 14214
(716) 832-6666

Categories: Diners, Vegetarian

Neighbourhood: Main Street

5.0 star rating
  3/8/2010

Note to Buffalo, NY: STOP TEMPTING ME. Thanks.

I found myself in Buffalo on another impromptu alcohol shopping spree (the more I go, the more I hate the LCBO: Premier Gourmet stocks 8000 different wines, the majority costing $4-9), and a cheap, quick…More »

Neighbourhood: Nolita

5.0 star rating
  4/17/2009

As soon as my Yelp pals caught wind of my impending trip to New York, the first words outta their mouths were, "make sure you go to Cafe Habana for lunch!", and it's no wonder it's in the top 10 most reviewed restos on NY Yelp, because it is…More »

Category: Vegetarian

Neighbourhood: Covent Garden

5.0 star rating
  2/16/2009

I visited London this past Fall for a week and have been DREAMING about the Red Lentil Curry & Rice Bowl I enjoyed at Food For Thought ever since. No exaggeration - it was THAT good. (see pics)

Wonderfully creative menu that's constantly changing with…More »

Bear in mind that this review comes from the most…More »

(403) 276-5499
5.0 star rating
  2/11/2009

I was in Calgary for business last year and Diner Deluxe came highly recommended to me by everyone that had ever been to the city. It was so amazingly tasty that I went back TWICE in a three day visit!

The baked oatmeal with lemon curd will render you…More »

 6. Bongo Room

Chicago, IL 60605
(312) 291-0100

Category: Breakfast & Brunch

Neighbourhood: South Loop

5.0 star rating
  3/5/2009

I've been salivating over Bongo Room's incredibly tasty brunch ever since I last visited Chicago in October 2008. This past weekend I was back in town and Bongo Room was the first place I hit up - it's just moments away from Roosevelt Station on the…More »

Montreal, QC H2T 1S1
Canada
(514) 509-1199

Category: Vegetarian

5.0 star rating
  2/16/2009

Absolutely wonderful veg place in the trendy "Mile End" neighbourhood of Montreal. The veggie burger is among the best I've had (see my pics) and is a combination of some sort of soy crumble, beans and vegetables with this amazing sauce and a salad…More »

 8. Foundation

2301 Main St
Vancouver, BC V5T 3C9
Canada
(604) 708-0881

Category: Vegetarian

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant

5.0 star rating
  4/20/2009

The first time I went to Foundation it was on a friend's recommendation (nay - insistence). I was hooked. Life was unfair. Returning to Toronto, a seemingly veg-friendly place, I'd never be able to find another restaurant as cool or as creative as…More »

Boston, MA 02115
(617) 536-8437

Categories: Vegetarian, American (Traditional), Vegan

Neighbourhood: Back Bay

5.0 star rating
  4/6/2009

I couldn't have whipped up a cooler restaurant concept if I had crafted the menu, soundtrack and atmosphere myself!

Let's just say the server had to wrestle the menu out of my hands because I could NOT decide what to order. I wanted to devour…More »

Calgary, AB T2T 0A2
Canada
(403) 541-1041

Category: Vegetarian

4.0 star rating
  2/11/2009

Clearly everyone in Calgary who's vegetarian knows about this place, because it came recommended to me by hotel staff and strangers alike when I mentioned I was looking for a cool veg place to eat while in town on business. The food was fresh and…More »

 11. Le Barricou

533 Grand St
Brooklyn, NY 11211
(718) 782-7372

5.0 star rating
  6/1/2009

If your heart aches for the ultimate Parisian experience but you don't have the time (or cash) to front for a flight, just head to Le Barricou for the ultimate faux French fête. Absolutely everything about this place screams "francofolie"!

291 Grand St
Brooklyn, NY 11211
(718) 218-6050

Category: Latin American

Neighbourhood: Williamsburg - North Side

3.0 star rating
  Update - 8/16/2009

For 65 days, I dreamt about the arepas at Caracas and today I was finally able to sample them once again. Sadly, the food and service were not as memorable as at my first visit.

The service was slow, inattentive and forgetful (worse than the first…More »

(212) 777-2177

Category: American (New)

Neighbourhood: Lower East Side

5.0 star rating
  9/17/2009

Pretty much perfect.

Impeccable service - our server and the owner were unobtrusive, yet always available when we needed a wine refill or had questions. Very professional.

If you've ever doubted your ability to adore vegetables, order any single item…More »

  10/22/2009

DISCLAIMER: This is going to be my longest review ever. I may hit the character limit (5000, FWIW). There is just so much to say...

I don't even know where to begin. What DIDN'T I eat at Frida's tonight!? I was lured here by the promise of "the best…More »

My lord, those heirloom tomatoes! I'm still thinking about them. There's a wall of them about two feet high surrounding the kitchen prep area like a moat. It looks hot.

When compared with the majority of restaurants that I walked by or researched…More »
