summer.

Bellevue
--------

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

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 $.85, $1.10 (1995) at peak times and you can get a transfer good
for 2 hours.


Vegan Restaurants:

Bamboo Garden, 364 Roy Street (Queen Anne area), 282-6616
  Located near Seattle Center (where the Space Needle is).
- They are a kosher vegan Chinese restaurant (really!). They have

  operated. Open Mon-Sat 10:30am-8:30pm.


Vegetarian Restaurants:

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. Dinner entrees run around 8-$15.
  Our "Cafe Flora regular" says their food has gone from good to
  excellent. She calls it "reasonably priced gourmet". Portions are
  good. Some vegan options, which are indicated on the menu. Cafe
  Flora is doing *a lot* of business: early evening is always very
  busy.

Honey Bear Bakery, 56th and Meridian
- Good bakery with a few lunch choices that are all vegetarian.

Mid City Cafe, 5509 University Way, 623-7979

Arnie's Northshore, 1900 N Northlake Way

Axum, 42nd & Brooklyn in the U-district
- Good Ethiopian food with reasonable vegetarian choices.

Azteca, several locations

- This is a fairly strange Italian restaurant that has a good
  assortment of interesting vegetarian choices. Expect to find things
  like artichoke hearts, eggplant and feta cheeze in various dishes.
  The atmosphere is as interesting as the food with all sorts of
  strange things hanging from the ceiling and waiters that are pretty
  strange in their own right. Open for dinner with moderate prices
  ($7-$12). Wine is available.

Cafe Illiterati, 5327 Ballard Avenue, 782-0191

  113 Virginia, (near Pike Place Public Market), 448-8826
- Mostly vegetarian. Vegan-friendly. 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 a good juice bar with many vegetarian choices on the menu.

Julia's, two locations:
  in Wallingford, 1714 N 44th, (Wallingford)
  Park Place, 5410 Ballard Ave NW, (Ballard)

  mid-priced restaurant with beer and wine. Not hippie, not formal,
  just all around pleasant.

  including tofu tomato curry chow mein. Say hi to Guy, the
  cook/owner. He will remember you.

    burritos (beans, rice, tomato, avocado, cheeze) for $3.50, other
