The Vegiterranean

On Saturday, my husband and I decided to take a drive up to Akron, Ohio, to have dinner at a wonderful vegan restaurant, called "The Vegiterranean." It was absolutely delicious and worth the 2 hour drive northeast of Columbus, Ohio. The restaurant is owned by Chrissie Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders. The walls of the restaurant are lined up with portraits of famous vegetarians such as Joaquin Pheonix, Paul McCartney, and Shania Twain.
These are the dishes we sampled and loved!
  • Frito Misto - Cauliflower tempura battered served with Lemon drizzle and Sweet Chili sauce
  • Sarah’s Smoked Tuscan White Bean and Potato Soup with Aged Balsamic drizzle
  • Baked Polenta Triangoli - with Wild Mushroom Bolognaise and Braised Escarole
  • Risotto with Grilled Artichokes - Roasted Tomatoes, Wild Mushrooms and Fire Grilled Red Pepper, Saffron and fresh Thyme with vegan italian sausage

I recommend you try it. Our waitress was wonderful as well. She was proud to tell us how the restaurant was recently voted one of the Top 8 Vegetarian Restaurants in America by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)

Katherine I never thought I'd be interested in veggie dishes how ever I have sampled the vegiterranean it is very nice. The best part about the food was after I ate I didnt feel bloated and tired. Excellent recommendation.

Mark and I dined here on Valentine's Day before the Pretender's concert. We've been here before. Isn't it delish? Have your tried Bamboo on Sawmill? Or Bayleaf on polaris parkway?
