When this crushaholic vegetarian on a budget gets hungry, only one place comes to mind.

Rain or shine, many come to Watercourse at least once a week to share in the knowledge that veggie meals don't have to bland. For lunch, try the tempeh scallopini, fried in the house's delicious mushgroom gravy; for dinner, I'd suggest the monti pasta with garlic, shallots, and brie.

Vegan? Allergic? Just can't stand cheese? No problem! The cute and friendly servers will be happy to accommodate your gastronomic needs.

The restaurant, situated some meters from the capitol, is easy to miss if you're not familiar with the area. Just follow the delicious smell of carrot cake emanating from their bakery.

This is THE place in Denver for vegetarians, vegans, and people who love good, cheap food that won't destroy their budget or their waistline. I was very surprised by the huge portions and low prices. Everything on the menu is vegan or vegetarian, but I LOVE all of it, even though I am a meat-eater. There is an item on the menu from nearly every continent--from Jamaican Jerk Tofu to Pad Thai. Also, it is in the center of the Capitol Hill District in Denver, near Colfax and Downtown. The atmosphere is a nice change from the cosmopolitan, somewhat conservative LoDo areas of Denver.

The only thing I would NOT recommend at this restaurant is the hemp ice cream sandwich. If you have never eaten hemp, it is probably not a good way to start.

Homey, comfort food for vegetarian and vegans, great salads, and delicious brunch.

It's kind of easy to miss this place if you don't know where it is. Look for the salon next door: Babuska's.

Neither the food nor the atmosphere is particularly fancy, but the food is very satisfying, the open space is comfortable and the staff is very friendly.

For brunch, I can't stop ordering the Conejos. Made with vegan chorizo and either scrambled tofu or eggs, this dish is spicy, filling, and delicious. At dinner, I'm drawn to the Tempe Scalopini, served in a wine sauce with a large, large serving of mashed potatoes and a good portion of spinach. For something lighter, try one of the huge, fresh, salads or wraps.

A friend of mine has a crush on every waitress there, and I can see why, they're fun to be around and always make you feel special.

Don't miss the brunch mimosa specials or the daz bog coffee.
