Do you have a favorite vegetarian restaurant in the greater San Francisco Bay Area?  Perhaps you have a few.  I would love to know about them. My own favorite, in the moderate price range, is Ambrosia Garden in Albany (next door to Berkeley): http://www.ambrosiagarden.com/ The food is exceptionally flavorful, and served in abundant (maybe too abundant!) quantities.  A full menu with a few pictures is available at their website.  This restaurant is in the tradition of San Francisco's celebrated (but now closed) Lotus Garden on Grant Street. Ostensibly, the meals try to imitate meat flavors with tofu, wheat gluten, seitan, etc., and the dishes have pseudo-meat names, like General Chou's Chicken and Taro Fish , but there is no chicken or fish in them. The pseudo-chicken dishes are almost all good, but some of the pseudo-fish dishes are not all that great.   Roasted Chicken is my favorite, followed closely by General Chou's Chicken . Here is a very good listing of Bay Area vegetarian restaurants.  I have not tried many of these.  Have you?  I'd be interested in your review of any of them: http://www.vegeats.com/restaurants/ca-sf.htm Or if you know of any vegetarian or health-oriented restaurants in the Bay Area, please share them with us. Many thanks in advance for your contribution! David Brett dbrett-phantasmagorical
