World Wide Vegan

San Francisco is a fabulous city. And in the heart of California it is no surprise that they have many vegan/vegetarian eateries. I have been to San Francisco more times than I can count and so I have learned which parts of the city I prefer to roam around by myself, with my kids and in the evening. Because many of you will be new to San Francisco I will direct you to those eateries which are the best loved and which are in safe, clean, easy to find parts of the city.
Greens is a highly rated casual yet sophisticated restaurant that offers small but delicious portions of creative and organic dishes. The prices are a bit higher than other vegan restaurants but the view and the atmosphere are worth every penny.
The best thing about Greens is that they will also make your meal to go so that you and your kids can walk down to the nearby beach to have a picnic. If you choose to eat in you may wish to ask the chef for a special pasta dish for the little ones as there is no children's menu. **** stars

Another wonderful eatery for vegans and vegetarians is Alive. Alive serves plant foods that have not been cooked - raw foods. Before you turn up your nose take a look at their menu to see the mouth watering presentations they have created for your picky palate. The more I eat raw, the more excited I get about the whole idea. They are located at Building A, Fort Mason Center ***stars not too far from the street car turn-around.

In most ethnic restaurants in the city you can find items on the menu that would suit a vegan diet -you just have to be creative, and of course be nice to your server when you ask for changes,
