tablehopper's veg dining tips

[Guest guest]

From 4/28/09 tablehopper's the health nut:

Another reader confirmed that ~ENJOY VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT~ has opened its

second location in Chinatown last weekend. Here's more: " Like its Sunset

District location, it offers an awesome 125-item a la carte menu plus $7.50

lunch specials with soup, rice, and spring roll. While the Sunset location is

closed Mondays, the Chinatown location is open seven days a week. " 839 Kearny

St. at Washington, 415-956-7868.

 

Got word that vegetarians now have the option of ordering from a separate,

meat-free menu at ~ZARÉ AT FLY TRAP~ in SOMA. A highlight of the new menu is

Hoss Zaré's vegetarian kufteh, one hundred percent vegetarian " meatballs " made

predominantly of bulgur and beans such as lima, fava, or adzuki, then stuffed

with sautéed seasonal wild mushrooms and roasted garlic–he spent a lot of time

developing the recipe. The featured dish costs $17 and includes two

baseball-sized vegetarian kufteh flavored with Persian spices such as coriander,

cumin, and harissa and served with seven-spice carrot-verjus emulsion and

Mediterranean avocado salsa on the side. Other items on the menu include salads,

roasted beets, crispy polenta, arancini, braised Italian eggplant, portabella

mushroom kebabs, and marinated chickpeas. 606 Folsom St. at 2nd St.,

415-243-0580.

 

I wanted to let you know about this event before it sells out: coming up is an

~URBAN DESSERT SOIREE~ with VegNews Magazine on May 21st at CandyBar. It's going

to be an evening of vegan desserts by CandyBar's pastry chef (five courses!),

libations (sparkling wine, lattes, Italian sodas, etc.), guest-of-honor and

green chef Ani Phyo, and much more. All guests will also receive a complimentary

copy of Ani's just-released cookbook, Ani's Raw Food Desserts, and hear her

secrets for living an eco-fabulous life. 6pm–9pm. Details and tickets can be

found here. 1335 Fulton St. at Divisadero.

i went to Enjoy Restaurant on Kearny [between Washington and Jackson] this last

friday early evening, around 5:45 pm.  it's just as good as the sunset model. 

same menus w/ a new label for new address info over the sunset address. 

besides my friend and i, there was at least 1-3 other tables occupied.  we came

in from the rain and my super water proof jacket had much water beading up on

it; the waitress made a point of wiping my back and sleaves down w/ a napkin. 

talk about service!  service was quick, food tasty, if they had any kinks

before, i guess they have them ironed them out.  and it's just around the

corner from citylights bookstore!  of course, no alcohol, but i enjoyed my

" iced mango greentea " .  and no explanation needed when i showed them my SFVS

membership card for the discount, which is nice since many of the places on the

discount list often do not know about the discount.
