We went to the Blind Faith Cafe in Evanston during our house hunting trip, April 2007, and I really can’t believe we haven’t gone back.
It was really, really good.
I think the only two things keeping us from going back are a) there are a ton of restaurants to try b) the parking down there can be a little frustrating. Until it warms up, I don’t think we’re heading back there any time soon. I don’t want to have to walk three blocks in the wind and snow, it’s too damn cold.
Their website says “Innovative Vegetarian Cuisines” and makes the place look a little more foofoo than it is. It’s a pretty loud, low key kind of place with really excellent vegetarian food – the kind of place that has too many damn things on the menu to choose from. (Vegetarians are used to having just one or maybe two items not a whole bloody menu, ya know?)
UrbanSpoon calls Blind Faith Cafe “cheap” but it isn’t cheap, even by Chicago area standards. It’s not super expensive but definitely not cheap. Yummy though.
