Fresco serves all kinds of West Coast takes on the Mediterranean palate. Relax in the
candlelit backyard dining room, which feels like an Italian porch in summer when the
weather is right (ie almost always). Pear and walnut salad and portobello sandwiches are
lovely, while the pumpkin-stuffed ravioli is heaven on a platter.

This excellent cafe, tucked into a half-vacant mini-mall, is where chef Carlos Bedoya
works solo and churns out remarkably fresh and delicious specials such as grilled tilapia,
fresh salad, and rice and beans. There are only two little tables, but it's worth waiting - or
standing while you eat.

If you need karmic balance (or just tasty vegetarian fare), try this neighborhood health-
food staple. Located next to the courthouse, Granny's must have the highest lawyer-to-
bean-sprouts ratio in the USA. Try simple, vegetarian dishes such as tofu sandwiches and
spinach lasagna. Carnivores are catered for too - there's a turkey burger.

The description everyone writes when vegan food tastes good is that you're not missing the
meat. This trope actually holds true at Choices. With clever ingredient combinations like
walnut 'meat' and daiya cheese, this restaurant lives up to its name, offering burgers, tacos
and pizza - all 100% vegan, and all delicious.
