Winners of VegDC.com’s 2008 Best Vegetarian Food Contest Announced
“Three Green Stars” Awards Recognize 12 D.C.-Area Veg-Friendly Establishments
Washington, D.C.—For the second year a row, VegDC.com voters have chosen Java Green as the “Best Vegetarian Restaurant” in the D.C.-Metro area. Compassion Over Killing, which runs the VegDC.com web site, is proud to present this popular downtown eatery with a 2008 Three Green Stars award for offering Washingtonians, both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, with savory meatless options including a Veg Max Panini and “Chicken” Chili Wrap.
VegDC.com’s Three Green Stars awards are also being dished out to:
- The Vegetable Garden in Rockville, Md. for the “Best Mock Meat Menu”
- Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant in Vienna, Va. for the “Best South Asian Cuisine”
- Sticky Fingers Bakery in Washington, D.C. for the “Best Vegan Desserts”
- Ella’s Wood Fired Pizza in Washington, D.C. for the “Best Vegan Cheese Pizza”
- Asylum in Washington, D.C. for the “Best Vegan Brunch,” and
- many more available on VegDC.com
“It’s never been easier, or more delicious, to choose vegetarian fare in and around the nation’s capital,” said Erica Meier, executive director of Compassion Over Killing. “Whether we’re concerned about animals, the environment, or our health, a growing number of people are looking for meatless cuisine and our city’s restaurants are responding.”
The D.C.-Metro area is home to more than two dozen all-vegetarian restaurants as well as hundreds of restaurants offering veg-friendly menus. To celebrate the growing availability of delicious and innovative animal-friendly fare, Washingtonians voted for their favorites in VegDC.com’s second annual “Best Vegetarian Food” contest last month, and the winners are being honored with awards in October, which is Vegetarian Awareness Month.
For all twelve 2008 Three Green Stars award winners, visit VegDC.com.

It’s wonderful that there are so many delicious vegan options in the DC-area that we can celebrate them! VegDC.com makes it so much easier to find good vegetarian meals. I take a copy of the guide with me wherever I go. Thanks for awarding the restaurants that make dining a delight!
