Gillie's is THE place for vegetarians in Blacksburg. Here you will find inventive dishes--all meat-free except for a few featuring seafood. The atmosphere is casual bistro-type. Prices are very affordable, with all entrees under $10. It's great for groups of friends, couples, and even families earlier in the evening. The food is excellent. For my vegetarian roommate and me, our favorite was the wild mushroom béchamel. This dish features pasta, a variety of mushrooms, and a delicious white-wine sauce. Another of Gillie's strong points is its bread. All the bread is baked at the very popular Bollos bakery next door. A variety of choices--many multigrain--are available. Breakfast is extremely popular at Gilles. A friend of ours claimed the French toast was the best she had eaten in her life. Every time her parents came to visit, they went to Gillie's for French toast. A breakfast brunch features the French toast and many other choices every weekend from 8am to 2pm. Non-vegetarians normally enjoy Gillie's too. However, only bring non-vegetarian friends with a sense of adventure. Even the pizza is made with organic ingredients. It's very tasty but not for those who only like Pizza Hut.
