The in self is All dude up in Blond Wood and an wallpaper with quiet carpets and potted plants sprinkled around like jimmies on a 10-Cenf Cone. The waitresses Here Are Friendly if a Little matronly looking red and scrubbed and basically like a thorough search of their bodies is not going to turn up a Tingle clogged pore All in All the place says healthy louder than a pm three piece say4 in keeping with the general atmosphere the drink menu is Leas mostly with an occasional decaffeinated Coffee and a couple of vegetable Nec Lars thrown in there. The place also features a non alcoholic Bier and a red wine ditto on the Lack of kick with the latter lasting pretty much like what you would get i flu Smith Brothers teamed up Wilh the Callo Brothers if you gel my Drift and Lam willing to bet you do the menu is full of purees and salads spinach with eggs while sauerkraut and egg plants mostly Wilh a extremely Large variety of potato dishes thrown in. This is one Good thing about the Eden. You Are going to be seeing people publicly silting around eating big bowls of mashed potatoes a i h butter an act Many folks i know believe can Only be done in the privacy of their own Homes and then usually Only in a Bathrobe. Anyway jumbo headed for the Eden s goulash 2 carnivores might want to steer Clem of the pleasures of Eden.

Bolh dishes come Wilh what they Call nature Rice your Dull off White Grain that american companies have popularly called Brown Rice and charged More for even though it requires less machine work. The Eden s version was served up with a slight mix of herbs and other greenery and we bold go to say it was downright excellent. The Eden also offers daily menus for about $7 that on the Day Levi Sild featured a full Grain pizza and noodles in Zuccini sauce and Mango Yogurt for dessert. Speaking of dessert like 1 was the Eden also offers up a convincing display of cakes and Sweet breads and such including a very templing cheesecake and a dark Nul bread thai looks like it was holding More Grain than a government silo. They also go a wide assortment of your natural ice teams and things like cling peaches and collage cheese. So what about the Chow sorry to say it but while the food Here is filling and spicy and pleasingly prepared it ranks a near Zero on the taste meter. I got to bet that the wrapper off a Pound of ground Chuck will lighten the Cheeks More than the stuff me and jumbo sliced Down. Face it friends if cod wanted soy to be eaten he would t named it Lou. Our advice to people who want to Visil the Eden is Slick to the True vegetarian Chow like their salad plates and cheese plan Lars and leave the fancy fake stuff for your True Fern choppers. This seemed to be the tack taken by the Resl of the customers a Small band of very old people and slide nos Hal grew continuously while jumbo and 1 look in the vegetarian victuals. Hell by the Lime we left the place there were people packing the tables lighter than seagulls on baling garbage. Waddling off in search of a real Beer or two jumbo and me worked Oul our rating. For starters the service is fast if somewhat humourless and the prices Are right. Me and Lumbo became downright stuffed for less than j13. The decor is Plain and Loo Well til and the Chow again was spicier than a backroom Romance. All in All a mixed bag. The Eden is situated on Frankfurt s Rahmo Strasse number 4, Dirac Fly behind the City Stock Exchange. It s open monday through saturday beginning at 11 .
