- Below is the Seattle portion of the vegetarian restaurant list that was
- distributed on rec.food.veg. For some stupid reason I volunteered to
- maintain this list for Seattle and send updates so it can be posted monthly.
-
- Note that the list isn't just of vegetarian restaurants, it is of reasonable
- places where a vegetarian can get a meal. Thus, many of the restaurants
- on the list offer vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian choices.
-
- If you have additions, deletions or changes for this list, please forward
- them to this account. I will integrate them and forward them to Mark
- Wisdom for inclusion.
-
- Note that he is also looking for other locations in Washington State so those
- suggestions are welcome as well.
-
- Thanks.

- Seattle
- -------
-
- The Seattle area has a fair number of vegetarians, and is a pretty
- good place for vegetarians to live. There is Puget Consumer Coop,
- a natural food coop with 5 area stores (most of which are full
- supermarket size). There are several good all-vegetarian
- restaurants, many restaurants that have at least a few vegetarian
- dishes, and most of those that don't are very accommodating about
- whipping up something special.
-
- Public transit is really decent in Seattle and free in the core of
- downtown. Off peak bus service to other places (like the U-district)
- is $.75 and you can get a transfer good for 2 hours.
-
- Restaurants:
-
- The Sunlight Cafe, 64th and Roosevelt
- - Seattle's oldest real vegetarian restaurant. Most things have
- dairy. They also have additive free beer.
-
- Morningtown Cafe, 41st and Roosevelt
- - Very counterculture. *Very* informal, but good value and good food.
- Used to be a collective. They even have dairy-free pizza.
-
- Cafe Flora, E. Madison St. (in the heart of the Madison Valley).
- - Stay away if things yuppie make you ill, but if you enjoy artsy
- food, no alcohol and a pleasant environment that just happens to be
- vegetarian, this is a nice place. Entrees run around 6.95 to 9.95;
- portions are good, some vegan options. Like I said, if you think
- that nice interior decoration is yuppie, stay away. Also, Cafe Flora
- is doing *a lot* of business: early evening is always very busy.
-
- Bamboo Garden, 364 Roy Street (Queen Anne area)
- - They are a kosher vegetarian Chinese restaurant (really!)
-
- Silence Heart-Nest Restaurant, 5247 University Way NE, U-district
- - All vegetarian Indian food. Lots of vegan items. Sri Chinmoy fans
- usual stuff.
-
- Five Loaves, 2719 E Madison (madison park area)
- - Vegan. A Seventh Day Adventist bakery and deli. Great Sunday brunch.
- Closed Friday and Saturday.
-
- The Gravity Bar, 2 locations:
- 415 Broadway E (Capitol Hill)
- 113 Virginia (near Pike Place Public Market)
- - To quote their menu, "modern food". All sorts of rather strange dishes
- and lots of fresh fruit and veggie drinks. Maybe more yuppified than
- some places, but certainly good juice bar with some meal items also.
-
- Panko's, 4850 Greenlake Way (south of Greenlake)
- - A "stir-fry" sort of place with reasonable vegetarian choices
- including tofu tomato curry chow mein.
-
- King's Chinese Restaurant, 15th NE and Lake City Way (maple leaf area)
- - Now Chinese and Thai with lots of vegetarian choices. Healthy: no
- MSG, brown rice available.
-
- Honey Bear Bakery, 56th and Meridian
- - Good bakery with a few lunch choices that are all vegetarian.
-
- Ali Baba's, 707 E. Pine
- - One of Seattle's good Middle-Eastern restaurants.
-
- Axum, 42nd & Brooklyn in the U-district
- - Good Ethiopian food with reasonable vegetarian choices.
-
- Cafe Loc, 2 locations:
- 407 Broad (near Seattle Center)
- Food Circus at Seattle Center
- - Inexpensive good Vietnamese entrees. Lots of vegetarian stuff.
-
- Cafe Long 12517 Lake City Way NE in Lake City
- - Good assortment of cheap Vietnamese food, a large percentage
- of which are vegetarian.
-
- Grand Palace, 417 2nd Ave
- - Thai restaurant. Curried vegetables and tofu. Noodles and vegetable
- soup.
-
- New Orleans Restaurant, 81 Yesler Way, Pioneer Square, 622-2563
- - Here's something different for the Pacific Northwest - Creole food.
- Gumbo is a delicious okra soup and the New Orleans Restaurant has a
- vegetarian variety. They also make a vegetarian eggplant dish.
-
- Poco Loco, 45xx University Way (in the Ave arcade)
- - A fast food window with a counter inside. Monster vegetarian burritos
- (beans, rice, tomato, avocado, cheeze) for $3.00, other vegetarian
- choices.
-
- Panchito's, 1st and Cherry, Pioneer Square
- - Mexican restaurant. Lardless refried beans, burritos and tacos.
-
- Silver Dragon, 421 7th Ave S, International District
- - Has a separate menu for vegetarians. Formal atmosphere, good service.
- Expensive, but the food is well-prepared.
-
- Raga, 556 108th Ave NE, Bellevue, 450-0336
- - Very impressive. If you like good Indian food, it's worth a trip to
- Bellevue to check this place out. There is a nice vegetarian section
- on the menu. Dinner is order-off-the-menu, the mostly vegetarian
- all-you-can-eat lunch buffet is $6.95, and well worth it.
-
- There are lots of restaurants offering vegetarian choices on
- University Way between 42nd and 52nd. Many have menues in the window.
- Park and take a stroll.
-
-
- Natural Food Stores:
-
- Puget Consumer Coop, 5 locations
- - A natural food coop. Most are full supermarket size.
-
- Central Coop, 1835 12th (Capitol Hill)
- - Feels more like a real co-op, as opposed to PCC which is more like
- a supermarket
