food & drink

Founded in 1980, this is one of the city’s first vegetarian restaurants and a pioneer in sustainability, from organic cuisine to eco-friendly décor.

The food is excellent, with great-value weekday lunch combos and a dinner special. At night the place takes on a romantic ambiance. Star dishes include tofu à l’orange, seitan burger and vichyssoise. All the desserts are organic; try the vegan Chocolate Cake, amazing. All the drinks are organic too – no Coca-Cola here – and include cider, mojitos and gin & tonics.

With its informal atmosphere, it’s a great place to grab a tea or snack like guacamole, hummus or homemade pâté – no problem relaxing with a drink and reading. They also host dance classes (salsa on Mon, tango on Fri), vintage markets, workshops and concerts.
