Be sure to call ahead to make sure of the hours, prices, and get directions. About half the info comes from a three year old posting. * There is a very good vegetarian restaurant in Whole Foods Market, 2218 Greenville Ave, Dallas, 824-1744. It is in the central Dallas area and is listed in the phone book. The menu includes soups, salads, black bean tacos & chalupas, tempeh burgers, vegetarian main dish specials etc. There is also one at Coit and Beltline, in Richardson, 699-8075. * 'The Dream Cafe', 2800 Routh, Oak Lawn area, north of Dallas, and while not entirely vegetarian, serves excellent vegetarian fare. Its certainly well worth a visit. Take Worthington west from McKinney, near Routh street. Its in the Quadrangle area. Ask around. * Kalachanddji's, 5430 Gurley Ave. (I 30 & East Grand) 821-1048. Mostly Indian Food. Some Vegan. Run by Hare Krisnas. I've found the HK usually make some of the *worst* Indian food. But this one was reviewed in VT as one of the best veg. rest. in the country! Kalachanddji's is a truly wonderful dining experience, but I should caution vegans that there is essentially only one dinner served each night, and many of the dishes will contain dairy products. (There's also a very nice salad bar which is part of the dinner.) When I went there about a year ago, the people were *very* willing to accomodate me, and I had no problem getting a great meal. (I went there twice in one week!). * If you're into macrobiotic food, and don't mind paying a bit more for a good meal, try Francis Simun's macrobiotic bed & breakfast for dinner. (It's in the yellow pages.) He runs the restaurant out of his house, and you *must* make reservations at least 24 hours in advance, as he buys the food only when he knows someone will be coming to dinner. * Plaza Health Food Store, 6924 Snider Plaza, 363-2661. The oldest in Dallas. Not really a restaurant, but they have a "Juice bar." * Roy's Nutrition Center, Preston Royal Plaza, 130 Preston Royal Center, 987-0213 * Sundrops, Oak Lawn. 521-0550. They have a loft cafe. (It's a health food store). [I ate here in 1987. Good solid lunch! -len] * Sunhealth, 3018 Mockingbird Ln, 369-5425. Nice cafe and store. * Bluebonnet Cafe, 2218 Greenville Ave.; 828-0052 * Macrobiotic Resturant, 850 Greenville Ave., 385-7773 1 Mile N of the LBJ on Greenville. * India Palace, Preston above LBJ Freeway. Has vegetarian lunch buffet until 2:30. All you can eat for $5.95!! enjoy -len
