Vegan friendly lunch ideas in Berkeley

[Guest guest]

There's also a Vietnamese place on the corner of San Pablo And

Solano in Albany, just over the border from Berkeley.

I stumbled on it a couple of years back, and really liked it.

Never got back there (I live in SF and don't go to Albany much),

and I don't know if they're still open. But the food was hearty

and affordable, the atmosphere is very casual, and the menu

seemed mostly vegan. They also had a very impressive list

of international beers.
