The lovely chef-owner, Betania, prepares just one dish per day, announced on a sandwich board out front. From chickpea omelets to vegetable tarts, count on it being outstanding, served with brown rice, fresh salad and creative drinks, like hibiscus and maracujá (passion fruit) iced tea, plus dessert. Dishes are vegan or vegetarian, depending on the day. Attractive outdoor dining area.
