Silverlake vegan??

[miwine]

Need to take a vegan to very good dinner in the Silverlake area. The more elegant the better. Thanks for the help.

I love Elf, which is not fancy, but cozy and intimate. I've taken my vegan friend there three times and he loves it. So do I, though I go mostly for the vegetarian items. My favorites so far are the stuffed portobello mushroom entrée, and the chickpea flour crepe with spinach and cheese. Again, my very picky vegan friend loves it! And the people who work there are very nice; all in all, a great atmosphere.

Less than 5 miles to Shojin on S Alameda...very good food and an elegant setting (for vegan food) as well.

Fatty's in Eagle Rock is not too far east, and it is in the process of reopening, with Charlie Puffer, former manager at Topline in Glendale, as proprietor, and the place must remain vegetarian, and mostly vegan.

doing pop-up dining this coming weekend on friday, saturday and sunday.

I'm not sure that the elegance factor is the operative term at Fatty's, however. but the wine list will be good !!!

Barbrix has some vegan options; haven't been there in a while, but I found it loud and not as good a value as somewhere like AOC. But it is in Silver Lake.

Mohawk Bend

[burntwater]

if you do decide to go to Mowhawk Bend make reservations and ask to be seated in the back room.

I like Mohawk Bend, but 'elegant' (even in the back room) doesn't seem like the best description for the place -- not even close. And because it opened so recently, it's still a bit of a zoo in there.

[burntwater]

I totally agree not elegant, just saying if they decide on Mohawk get seated in the back.

Not elegant, but they have a full vegan menu: Gingergrass

Not much along the lines of what you're describing in Silver Lake or close by areas. If you can travel a bit further out, you could go to Providence (budget permitting), or Ammo (both Hollywood-ish), or Bashan or Palate in Glendale. None of these are vegan, but all can accommodate a vegan diner, assuming your guest is Ok with the food not being prepared in an all-vegetarian kitchen.

I recommend Cru. Elf is another possibility, but it's not entirely vegan.

Second Elf.

There's Sage Organic Vegan in Echo Park, but I have not tried it yet and do not know what the space is like.

[will47]

The atmosphere is nice (maybe not "elegant", but nice enough). I only went once for a full meal, and it was probably a month or two after they opened, but I was *not* impressed by the food.

There is a "kind kreme' inside it, and that is Ok.
