Bay Leaf

So we tried a new restaurant on 49th & Division yesterday: Bay Leaf.

Yum.

It's not clear from the outside what sort of restaurant it is. The sign just says "vegetarian restaurant." It turned out to be very nice Asian place with a creative and very tasty menu. We had some tasty veggies with noodles in a sort of chow-mein style, eggplant and garlic in a kung-pao style sauce (both of which were delightful) and the surprise winner: battered fried mushrooms on a fresh cabbage-basil base. The tea was very nice and it came out in a beautiful artistic teapot (they had a tea list like most places have wine lists).

Oh my that was tasty. We're definitely going back!
