Corpus Christi

(From January 2011) This heart-of-downtown lunchroom is perhaps the most underappreciated restaurant in town. Motherly Sonja Silvertooth presides over an impeccably neat corner location, experienced service, and a menu that features traditional European specialties, pastries that are works of art, and a variety of salads and hearty sandwiches. Our favorites from the regular menu of hot lunches are the schnit-zels—a choice of tender pan-fried chicken or pork accompanied by spaetzle—and a German three-wurst sampler with both red cabbage and plain sauerkraut and a fine warm potato salad. It will take strong willpower to resist a slice of one of Sonja’s cakes or pies. BYOB.

(From March 2011) New owners have taken over this eclectic throwback to the sixties; sharing space with the Yin Yang Fandango lifestyle shop, this little eatery retains its largely (but not entirely) vegan menu and imposing variety of teas. It was a pleasure to sample the butternut squash and apple soup (a light, tart broth), and we were relieved to find the popular shredded chicken salad, enhanced with sun-dried tomatoes and cilantro, still on the menu and as good as we remembered. The rich pastries tempt one to abandon all thoughts of calorie counting.

Interesting eclectic very casual place to eat. I had a to-die-for vegetarian chili...hot, spicy and packed with flavor...surprisingly filling. Inexpensive.
