MILLENNIUM RESTAURANT 580 Geary Street San Francisco, CA 94102 415-345-3900 http://www.millenniumrestaurant.com/

Millennium is a vegetarian restaurant a few blocks off Union Square in San Francisco. They cook with local produce, organic when possible, taking delivery daily and sorting out their menu to match. The folks at Millennium believe that gourmet dining can be vegetarian and healthy and delicious and environmentally responsible. It is exactly the sort of cooking George and I really appreciate. We have been more times than I can count over the years, and we have never been disappointed....

CALISTOGA INN RESTAURANT & BREWERY 1250 Lincoln Avenue Calistoga, CA 707-942-4101 http://calistogainn.com/

I recently took George to Calistoga for some spa treatments for his birthday. The spa visit was great, but what accidentally ended up absolutely making the trip was a visit for dinner to the Calistoga Inn Restaurant....

Red Robin

RED ROBIN http://www.redrobin.com/

Although not apparent on the menu (either online or in-store) Red Robin will replace the meat on any of their burgers with a Boca or a Gardenburger patty. This makes what looks like a restaurant with only a side-salad option actually doable for a vegetarian. ...

TAZZINA BISTRO 614 Main Street Woodland, CA 530-661-1700 http://www.tazzinabistro.com/

Tazzina is a gem tucked away in Woodland, just outside Sacramento. It’s about a five-minute drive into downtown from Highway 113 or I-5, and it is well worth it. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is cozy and yet sophisticated without being pretentious. ...

Panera Bread

PANERA BREAD http://www.panerabread.com/

Recently George and I needed a quick meal on the road. To our delight, we saw a Panera Bread from the freeway. Panera is a national bakery and a café and, apparently, a catering business chain. When we went inside, it felt most like a café, though the luscious options behind the counter of sweets and thick-crusted artisan breads made the rival claim of bakery completely believable....

SAM'S MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE 247 3rd Street Davis, California 530-758-2855

There are a few restaurants that George and I eat at regularly. Sam’s is one of them. In fact, I’d say that we end up at Sam’s about once a month, and we always get the falafel...

QUIZNO'S SUB SANDWICHES http://www.quiznos.com/subsandwiches/Landing.aspx

As a vegetarian, you will not have many options at Quizno’s, but it is a good place for a warm sandwich if you like mushrooms, guacamole and cheese...

JIMBOY'S TACOS California and Nevada http://www.jimboys.com/index2.htm

Jimboy’s is a fast food Mexican restaurant that does a decent job taking care of vegetarian customers. The food is good, not your most ‘authentic’ Mexican faire, but tasty nonetheless...

George and I have enjoyed California Pizza Kitchen since before we stopped eating meat a decade ago. We continue to enjoy it now, just with far fewer options from the menu...
