This is THE fastfood for vegetarians! (and the omnivores I've introduced to this place, don't usually realise it's vegetarian until you tell them!!) Sorry... I should say VEGAN.... not just vegetarian!
They started out with just fries... I remember when they just had the one store in the city... now they are everywhere! And their menu has expanded considerably!!! It's not just fries now!... There's sweetpotato chips, pretend chicken nuggets, pretend beef burgers, pretend chicken burgers, pretend hotdogs! There's even a BigMac equivalent... which tastes so much better than the real BigMac! And just like the generic fastfood places... you can add bacon! (pretend bacon that is)
You have to try this place!... but try not to get addicted... I don't think you can count this one as "healthy vegetarian"!

This place is definitely healthy food! They seem to serve a healthy vegetarian version of many popular dishes from around the world. They add extra greens, salads, fresh vegetables to their dishes so that you can only just recognise the origins of the dish... but definitely yummy! And you don't feel bad or sick afterwards :-)
