I think this really the best vegetarian restaurant in Chicago. They do have great food and really do care about the environment as well. I was lucky enough to take a peek behind the scenes, organic food everywhere, great cleaning products, recycling; they do not just pretend like some restaurants do, just to make good business, they really do care. And the atmosphere is very friendly.
The pervious review really aggravated me "Too many bare hands on food!"
This must have been written by someone from the competition or someone who does not care about a small beautiful business like Lake Side Cafe. It is absolutely not against the health code to put dishes together with bare hands, the health code only requires washing hands frequently. Maybe the person should have enquired first, or talked to the manager about this. Just to write a review based on one's personal (wrong) guesses about the health code is quite something! I own a small business myself to know how they must feel about a feedback like this.
Well whoever reads this, just check this place out and see for yourself. I like it.
Pros: good food, friendly atmosphere, environmentally friendly
Cons: wish they were open all day
