Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, New York



Moosewood is an internationally famous vegetarian restaurant. We have been using their cookbooks for years and now finally had the opportunity to eat at the restaurant.


Our waitress was Natalie. She is an architecture student at Cornell University and has been working at Moosewood for five years. She has fond childhood memories of her mother cooking from Moosewood recipes.

Natalie is currently working with a solar house design team.

The food here is incredible! We had spinach and vegetable polenta and vegetable ragout. The preparation, blending of spices and presentation make eating almost a spiritual experience. Eating here makes one at least seriously consider becoming a vegetarian.


The desserts pictured are a vegan chocolate cake and a berry crisp topped with a locally made ice cream.
