Paradox Cafe

My daughters and I had a delicious lunch at Paradox Cafe. We are having fun exploring different venue's near Erin's new apartment. The cafe is a kitchy, comfortable place with friendly wait-staff. The Paradox prides themselves for featuring sustainable and organic ingredients that are found locally.

Erin had a red bean, vegetable soup served with a slice of homemade herb and onion bread and fries. Megan, being the contrarian, had a plain hamburger with NO lettuce, tomatoe, onion, pickle or anything else considered vegetarian and fries. And I had a delicious Tempeh Reuben – Melted swiss cheese and sauerkraut over tempeh and vegan 1000 Island on rye and small Mediterranean Salad - Organic spinach topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, kalamata olives & feta with a lemon tahini dressing.

There are very many wonderful dishes on the menu that I would love to try. You can find their website here: http://www.paradoxorganiccafe.com/

Blue Moose Cafe

I had another delightful lunch with a friend at the Blue Moose Cafe in northeast Portland. It is a small, kid friendly, neighborhood restaurant that has an excellent variety of vegetarian offerings. The service is fast and very friendly. They bring you a few small samplers of their choice of soups made fresh daily. The prices are modest and the food is outstanding.
