• Golden Bowl!

The Grit is a must visit place for vegans and vegetarians who find themselves in lovely Athens, Georgia. It is an eclectic restaurant serving southern food, vegetarian style. If you can only order one thing on the menu, please consider the golden bowl. It is a lovely, simple bowl with rice, delicious cubes of tofu, veggies, and, cheese for the vegetarians out there. They have a veggie plate with some standards, and some daily specials that change seasonally. If you have a sweet tooth, it is a good idea to save room for dessert. Their selection is mouth watering, and they have lots of choices for vegans and vegetarians. If you go to the Grit on Sunday or Saturday, they have a different menu for brunch. My favorite is their regular menu, but it is a nice, chill place to enjoy a weekend morning if you are into the brunch scene. The only thing that is a negative about The Grit is that it can be a little hard to park. My recommendation is to try to park in the little parallel spots on Meigs Street behind the restaurant.
