A guide to vegetarian and vegan dining
Friday, March 11, 2005
By PENELOPE CORCORAN
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER RESTAURANT CRITIC
While researching the state of vegetarian, vegan and veg-friendly dining in Seattle, one thing became as clear as a mung-bean thread: Although multiple local vegetarian dining guides exist -- both online and in book form, all of them are out of date.
Vegetarian and vegan eateries don't just step to the beat of a different drummer. They also seem to come and go a bit quicker than the norm. Just in the course of checking the information for this story, I encountered one restaurant -- Rainy Day Vegan Cafe -- that was sold the day I called; another -- My Sweet Lord's Cafe -- that had gone the way of George Harrison; and a third -- Araya's Vegetarian Place -- that will be moving at the end of the month. I still don't know if Ethereal Cafe remains operational: No one ever answered the phone.
At Cafe Flora, try the savory dosa served over a bed of coconut-minted rice with red pepper cucumber raita, mango-ginger chutney and greens.
My mission became manifest. To honor and celebrate VegFest, the largest vegetarian festival in North America, the biggest contribution I could offer the vegetarian-vegan community was this: The most up-to-date guide to vegan and vegetarian restaurants in the Seattle area -- if only for this weekend. I leave the updating and taste-testing to you.
