The Lowdown
This restauraunt is highly recommended in "Vegetarian Walt Disney World and Greater Orlando," and I should have gone sooner. It's good for carnivores, too!

The Gig
Lunch

The Grub
I had a sandwich (cucumbers, tomatoes, sprouts, and cream cheese on wheat bread) and a cup of gazpacho. HTHBellcaptain had some kind of meat-filled wrap. Dessert was peanut butter brownie ice cream pie. Simple, but very, very good.

The Scene
Affordable, delicious, and great service. I have no idea why there were so few people in this place on a Saturday afternoon, but I can't complain.

White Wolf Cafe is in north Orlando, and if you'll be venturing out of the Disney area, this might be a nice place to visit. It's near the science center, botanical gardens, theaters, and lots of antique shops. In fact, it used to be an antique shop--the decor is antiques, and the tables are made from the old walls of the city hall (which apparently blew up in a Lethal Weapon movie).

They have lots of salads and sandwiches, soup, and some other entrees. The dessert was wonderful. I'll definitely be going back--there's a spinach lasagne I'd like to try!

I don't have pictures, but their website has some.

How was the gazpacho. Spicy? Completely smooth, or a with little crispy veggie bits?

Matterhorn Fan · 05-14-2006, 07:18 PM

Not smooth at all. Crunchy. I wished it was spicier, but it was still pretty tasty (unlike some others I've had that just taste like icy tomato *cough*EpcotFood&WineFestival*cough*).

This sounds like a great place! I think you will be very happy there.

Matterhorn Fan · 05-15-2006, 10:19 AM

Both of you, you know you want to come to Florida . . .

Not Afraid · 05-15-2006, 10:46 AM

Between Boma and this place, I'm almost tempted.

Oh, and visiting good friends is a factor too.

Matterhorn Fan · 05-15-2006, 01:49 PM

There's a good Indian place, too.

Oh, and a great 10 or so Greek places.

Prudence · 05-21-2006, 01:30 PM

Next time we need a list of the Greek places.

Matterhorn Fan · 05-22-2006, 11:14 AM

The good ones are not in Orlando, sadly. But let us know next time you're out here and I'll get you directions.
