Editorial Review for Lake Side Cafe – by Valerie Moloney
In Short
Vegetarians, take heart. There's nary a garden burger on the menu at this Rogers Park eatery. In fact, from the thin-crust veggie pizzas to the Italian ciabatta sandwiches stuffed with pesto, cucumber, tomato, sprouts and mozzarella, vegetarian options abound. Lighter bites include miso soup, Greek salad, oat bran flakes, corn muffins, pastries, cookies and more. Specials range from lentil loaf loaded with veggies and topped with vegan gravy to a meatless club sandwich.

The restaurant is way to far up north for my preferences, but it is worth the trip. The name Lakeside Cafe is a bit deceiving. The food and service is to good for the cheap moniker of "Cafe". The lakeside cafe is not just a cafe, its more like a fine bistro that also has the ability to educate its diners about living a healthy and forward thinking lifestyle with all of their classes they offer. Their food has gotten a lot better in the past year. This is because of their (semi) new Chef Dashia (sp?). She is a wonderful woman who really cares about her food. Most other vegetarian restaurants in the city seem to cater towards the trendy vegetarians or vegans. Lakeside cafe seems to take a more creative/almost holistic approach to food. The cafe has a more real atmosphere and good choices like the great restaurants out west, like Millennium in SF. They are not making processed food to cater to the urges of meat eaters (no fake hotdogs or crappy veggie burgers, etc) If you want great vegetarian junk food, get a veggie burger at the Weiner Circle in Lincoln Park. If you want honest food for those who truley live the lifestyle or even people that appreciate great tastes, go to the Lakeside Cafe.
Pros: Really good and unique food
Cons: To long of a drive to eat on a regular basis. No home delivery.

I love this restaurant and bring all of my friends here. It is such a good atmosphere and the food is really good. They have things that even non-veggies will find hearty enough and don't forget desert. I recomend the Vegetarian Gyro, but I love to order the Tao Bowl. My fav desert is the chocolate cake, but I also l like the date bar and the ginger cookie. Service is great!
Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service, Deserts
Cons: None
