ining out doesn’t need to be tough for those looking for vegetarian and vegan options.
There are more choices right here in Bergen than pasta, salad and eggplant parmesan.
Many mainstream restaurants offer great choices for vegetarians. And there are several
good vegan and vegetarian options for dining out in Bergen County.
40 PARK AVE., RUTHERFORD, (201) 340-4171
NATURAL WAY CAFÉ
482 CEDAR LANE, TEANECK, (201) 692-0001
The focus is on healthy Mediterranean specialties, from
Spanish to Turkish to Moroccan. Featuring falafel, hummus,
chopped eggplant, nuts and more, many of the traditional
menu items and tapas skew vegetarian – and quite a few
of the specials are often vegan.
23-25 BROADWAY, FAIR LAWN, (201) 791-1717
This café and juice bar is devoted to the idea that eating
healthy doesn’t mean eating tasteless food. All “meat,”
“poultry” and “seafood” items are made from soy protein,
wheat gluten and/or vegetable products.
NECTAR CAFÉ
175 ROCK ROAD, GLEN ROCK, (201) 857-0825
This café has an ambitious raw menu, which includes
versions of crab cakes, tuna salad and cinnamon buns
(made with dates and raisins). Bottled juices are produced
in-house daily with a cold-pressed process that extracts
straight from the pulp, preserving vitamins and minerals. Customers can also get organic juice made to their
specifications. For dessert, try the raw vegan Snickers bar,
made with coconut oil, raw cacao, maple syrup, dates and
peanuts to create a wholesome – and tasty – version of
the iconic candy bar.
