5.0 out of 5 stars Best natural food directory around!, June 20, 2003

By	jay govinda (tucker, ga United States) - See all my reviews

I have owned 3 different directories of natural food restaurants and stores, and this one is by far the best! I used "Tofu Tollbooth' for years, and it was good to have, but eventually it was very outdated, and never was as complete as it could have been. "The Artichoke trail" was almost useless... it was very incomplete and didn't diferentiate the vegetarian from non-vegetarian places.
This book is awesome! It has ten times the listings of "tofu Tollbooth", with lots more info on each location and great directions to each location. It has a great resources section listing the ingredients used by many national chains of restaurants, and many great resources for vegetarians on the web.
I am on the road about two weeks a month, and this book has been so valuable. I WON'T TRAVEL WITHOUT IT! THANK YOU!

5.0 out of 5 stars An exhaustive, thoroughly "user friendly" guide, December 10, 2002

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Compiled by world traveler and dedicated vegetarian John Howley, Vegetarian Restaurants & Natural Food Stores is an exhaustive, thoroughly "user friendly" guide on where to buy natural foods or eat vegetarian meals throughout America. Especially recommended as being an excellent resource for vegetarians on vacation, business trips, or who have moved into a new community, Vegetarian Restaurants & Natural Food Stores lists restaurants and stores by state, and includes addresses, phone numbers, open hours, comments, and very detailed directions for each place.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for the Veggie Traveler, February 20, 2005

By	merrymousies (Waterford, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

A one of a kind book that I'm so glad to have found for when I visit relatives or travel for work and want to find some vegetarian fare. For each state there are cities listed and from there the restaurants and health food stores are listed. The listings provide the address, telephone number, hours, type of food offered (e.g. ethnicity, types of food on the menu), comments about the food, and other info. Distinction is made on places that offer vegan foods too which is terrific.
