Shangri-La

Vegan, organic, macrobiotic food. But if that sounds like a mouthful, don't worry - it's just simple, fresh, and well-cooked nutritious meals. The food's unprocessed simplicity gives you the feeling that someone could have eaten exactly the same thing hundreds of years ago, and the skillful cooking and seasoning make it surprisingly delicious. The menu has only one dish, a combo of cooked veggies, rice, beans, salad, and soup, but the exact ingredients change twice a day (check the website to see the current offerings). Free herbal tea and Tibetan decor round out the experience.
