A beloved local fave with a monochrome-painted exterior (and riotously colorful tablecloths inside), this is the best place in town for vegetarians and carnivores to dine together without one side feeling cheated. The signature almond burger is one of many excellent veggie options, while meaty types will find lots of fish and chicken options. Also a popular weekend brunch spot.
