Great Dinner - Edit
My husband and I and another couple had a great vegan meal last night at the Fresh Palate. The Bayshore was a combination of vegetables and potatoes and had wonderful flavor. A friend of mine had the Hippie Longstocking and said it was wonderful. Two of our patty had the mushroom bean burger (ask for it without the cheese) and both of them liked it.
Pros: Great Food, Server open to finding out more about
Cons: Server was not knowledgeable about the food and ha

More than one kind of veg burgers! - Edit
Stopped in for lunch on my way to vegan fudge on Mackinac Island. Usual veggie wraps and such. You can substitute tofu for any of the meats. I first wanted the curried chicken but with tofu. The waitress said the non-vegan dressing was all mixed up with the rest of the ingredients so that couldn't be made vegan. :(
Then I open the bar menu and discover FOUR different kinds of veggie burgers (pinto, black, cannellini and kidney beans) with different toppings.
I ordered the Red Rock (kidney beans, beets, arugula - hold the goat cheese). It came out pretty quick. Very tasty whole wheat bun. The burger itself held together and I loved the taste of the beets with the kidney beans.
I had vegan fudge on the brain so I didn't even ask if there were desserts - vegan or otherwise.

Best in town. - Edit
This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is freshly made on site with two soup choices every day, one being vegetarian. The menu is extensive and healthy, featuring many veg options. Vegan is also accommodated, and tofu may be substituted for any meat. The staff is friendly and helpful. Dinners are also excellent, with more veg options. Their homemade pinto bean burger is awesome. Nice atmosphere with sidewalk seating weather permitting. I have never had a bad meal here.
Pros: Many fresh vegetarian options that can be made as
Cons: None
