Best Vegetarian Restaurant
 
What's the name of and where is the best vegetarian restaurant you've ever eaten at? What did you eat?

Greens, at Ft. Mason overlooking the marina in San Francisco. Absolutely marvelous meal and service. I couldn't tell you what we ate, but it would have been easy to not notice that the place was vegetarian.

Nora's in DC. A slight deviation from the topic because it is an all organic restaurant rather than vegetarian. But, there were many vegetarian entree options. The food was wonderful!

The Angry Trout in Grand Marais, MN (on the north shore of Lake Superior close to the Canadian border).

Not strictly vegetarian, but organic with many vegetarian/fish options. Best salad I've ever had in my life. And the restaurant is right on the lake and decorated with art from local artists - a very cool place.

Le Commensal in Montreal. Very eclectic, upscale veggie cafeteria. What did we have? Asian noodles, Indian curry,Lasagna, squash soup, salad, and lots of other delicious things.

Kalachandji's Restaurant in Dallas -- it's in a Hare Krisna temple in a older residential part of town. Very cool. They serve a buffet, which soup, salad bar, bread, appetizers, one entree, and three to four vegetable side dishes. Beverages include a really good herbal iced tea and they also offer a choice of desserts when you are finished. I wish I could remember what I ate, but it was all excellent. I love going there. As far as desserts, Cosmic Cafe in Dallas had the absolute best rice pudding I've ever tasted.

Wrenkh in Vienna.

Had a salad of tiny mixed veggies and tender lettuce greens, then a timbale-type dish of cracked grains. Accompanied that with a glass of wine from a vineyard just outside Vienna - the wine smelled of violets and tar....it was a good meal.

Candle 79 in NYC--good food at reasonable prices. Green's is great but fairly expensive for a vetarian restaurant. I figure restaurant that charges alot should make great food, so my idea of good restaurants are those that make great food with moderate prices.
