Long before my days of blogging, I lived in the Bay Area.  Lucky me, right?

Since blogging, I’ve been taste-testing my way through the bay.  Here’s a collection of my favorite restaurants (some with review posts) in Northern California:

San Francisco

East Bay

 

Central Coast/South Bay

Northern CA

    Hi Elise,

    I’ll be in San Francisco and LA in a couple of weeks (doing a road trip with my boyfriend from Denver to LA 🙂 ). I went through a couple of your restaurant reviews, but find it all a bit overwhelming at the moment. I wondered, if you could pick your top 3 in LA and/or SF (or surrounding areas), what would it be? I would love to wow my meat-eating BF with an amazing veggie, maybe even vegan meal, and if that’s not gonna happen in California I don’t know where it should..

    Thank you!!

    SF…Blue Barn and The Plant Cafe are casual and not entirely vegetarian, but they have vegan options that will blow your mind. They are in great areas too (Plant Cafe has a couple locations). Those will wow both you and your BF for sure.

    I’ll email you to get more info for LA.

    Hi, I found your site thru a friend who like me is an arbonne consultant ~ she was thrilled to see our yummy vanilla shake mix on your site. I read thru here a bit (love it) and am curious what small town you speak of that you feel most would better know Berkeley? I live in Alamo and have a hunch this may be it? Any~hoo, I will be checking back. . . my husband & I just thoroughly enjoyed the movie “Forks over Knives” and feel better than ever, having given up meat & dairy just 2 short weeks ago! We have always been fairly healthy (clean) eaters so it has not been a drastic change but most certainly a fabulous one 🙂
    Cheers to feeling gooood~!
