Veg-Friendly Restaurants by Orland's Farm Sanctuary

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

We had a wonderful trip to Farm Sanctuary yesterday. There was some

gorgeous weather, and the animals were great. The turkeys followed

us all over the farm. They are very sweet.

 

Anyway, we did find some places to eat lunch and dinner in the area,

so I thought I'd share them. The NV vegetarian restaurant in

Woodland didn't answer their phone, so we didn't stop there. I hope

they're still open.

 

Chico isn't far from Farm Sanctuary. When you get off at the Orland

exit, go right instead of left onto 32 and in about 30 minutes

you're in Chico, which is a decent-sized town with a university.

Here are some restaurants recommended by a Chico vegan who used to

be part of the Chico Vegan Meetup (we ate at Sultan's Bistro for

lunch, which was good):

 

vegetarian co-op (Chico Natural Foods @ 8th and Main--good takeout

sandwiches, open until 9, maybe 10 pm)

 

Peeking Chinese Restaurant

243 W. 2nd Street Chico, CA 95928

Phone: 530-895-3888

Serves faux meats on a special menu. A little greasy, but no more so

than any other Chinese restaurant.

 

Grilla Bites

http://www.grillabites.c om/

119 W. Second St. Chico, CA 95928

Phone: 530-894-2691

Serves grilled sandwiches, offers vegan cheeze options on veggie

grilled sandwiches, vegan soups clearly labeled, excellent salad bar

(local produce). A nice guy owns the place.

 

Moxies Café and Gallery

128 Broadway, Chico, CA 95928

Phone: 530-345-0601

Serves a couple of vegan items; very vegan aware, usually has one or

more vegan baked goodies clearly labeled.

 

Sultan's Bistro

300 Broadway St., Chico, CA 95928

Phone: 530-345-7455

Excellent falafel, green salad, and other middle eastern dishes. Be

sure to tell them to leave out the tzatziki. Also a tempeh teriyaki

burger.

 

There are a couple of pizza joints in town; Celestino's offers a

nice little veggie roll and also makes an awesome thin crust pizza

and a good salad. (don't know if the dough is vegan)

 

Saturday Farmer's Market

Saturday morning 7am to 1pm; many organic vendors. Downtown Chico at

3rd and Wall.

 

 

In Vacaville, we ate dinner at Fresh Choice, which is close to the

freeway and convenient. The vegan and vegetarian items were clearly

labeled, which was nice. It's in among the outlet shops. The

directions are confusing, so asking directions isn't such a bad idea.
