Where is the Best Vegan in Atlanta, Georgia?
This Atlanta institution has been around for decades with its funky, tropical themed atmosphere on the massive indoor-esque patio. While greetings from talking parrots are not generally part of an Atlanta dining experience, it is certainly part of the charm of R. Thomas. Delicious vegan and vegetarian options such as veggie plates, or the heaping quinoa bowls covered in sauteed vegetables and sauces. The free range chicken wings are amazing, and they are grilled rather than deep fried. Open all hours of the day, R. Thomas also has a stout breakfast menu to please the late nighters and early risers.Pros + A great place to bring an out-of-townerCons – Worrying that a car might skid off the road
Sad to reveal, but most mornings I plunge a paw into a box of Kashi High Fiber just to fish out sad handfuls of what I hope will dislodge the previous night’s caloric journey to constipation. My bowels are like Siamese cats: obstinate, irritable, but also prone to run unpredictably. I rarely venture to the many sausage joints nearby. But as fate would have it, a need for Downy, scented candles (sandalwood) and Twizzlers (it’s like a sickness with me) prompted me out of the duplex early last weekend. Cruising home, I noticed Stone Soup Kitchen, a quaint eatery with a name that piqued my tummy. I parked the Miata and decided to give a gander. There’s a counter inside with an wide array of soups and drinks. I shimmied into a tiny booth with the finesse of a water balloon being pushed through a banister. What a sight, I was! The waiter, patient and lumberjack-ish, recommended a few items. He need only place himself on the menu and I’d never suffer through another Kashi sunrise again! Caref
The entree I ordered was the veggie fajitas which was pretty good. My boyfriend had the meatloaf which was a little better than mediocre but still pretty bland despite the asparagus sculpture created on his plate. Although I would probably go back to this place for some decent vegetarian food if the time allowed, the service was pretty much nonexistent. Our waiter came to our table twice. Once to take orders, and once because we practically had to trip him to get more drinks and our check. Someone else brought the food. He was only serving two other parties of two. I thought we were never going to get out of there. The artwork on the wall was pretty neat and very inspired by Jason Pollock, which created a relatively cool atmosphere. So in closing, I say, if you have an entire evening to spend sitting down to eat some pretty good vegetarian food, go for it. But I suggest bringing your own gallon of water to drink.Pros + Food, atmosphere, artwork, parkingCons – SERVICE?? Hello! Are
Local, Organic Food for Your Heart! I’ve heard so many wonderful things about this organic delicatessen, so you know I had to find out what’s the scoop. Being the health conscious person I am, all the reviews were impressive, especially knowing that the deli offers local, organic, healthy foods. Be warned…the neighborhood(near Sweet Auburn & the Old 4th Ward) is being redeveloped, so you might encounter panhandlers, so bring some extra change with you. After reading a review in AccessAtlanta, I was really excited to try the Butternut Squash Soup with fresh ginger & the Lentil Walnut Pate’, unfortunately for me, they sold out. The menu is limited, offering soups, salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, it changes daily, I decided to try the Veggie Quiche made with Quark(a soft, white, unaged cheese of central Europe) and a side salad(Mesclun, with walnuts, julienne yellow beets and a light vinaigrette-like dressing), to drink, I settled for the Pomegrante Green Tea&
