The kind of woodsy subterranean cave a health-minded hobbit would enjoy, this small vegan and raw-food restaurant has legions of local fans. Snag a table (peak-time reservations recommended) and dive into hearty, savor-worthy dishes from cabbage rolls to the colorful, best-selling Fresh Addiction Burger. Fancy a unique high tea? It offers a cool raw vegan version here; book ahead.

It's also a chilled-out spot in the evening: quaff a few rounds of kombucha and share a slice of key lime pie dessert. If someone at your table angrily refuses to share, it's just the kombucha talking.
