The Paradox Palace Cafe & Vita

The Paradox Palace Cafe (3439 SE Belmont 232-7508) & Vita (3024 NE Alberta, 335-8233) - These mostly vegan restaurants are run by the same people. Paradox has more of a diner feel, and Vita is a bit more upscale. Even non-veggie lovers will often like their food. At Vita, try the chicken fried steak (yes it's vegetarian), and at Paradox you can't go wrong with an order spicy potatos & biscuits and gravy. You'll find a few meat dishes, but its mostly vegan. Breakfast served all day, and vegan desserts are available.
