“Something for everyone.” — Christopher Seckman
That is the mantra at North End Cafe. With a minimum 30% of the menu being vegetarian at any time, there truly is something for everyone here.
Chef Christopher Seckman knows that everyone has different dietary needs and that most often, vegetarians get the short end of the stick on a menu. Rather than offer just vegetable sides or a big salad and rolls, he has created many choices on his breakfast, lunch and dinner menus for all levels of vegetarians.
What are the levels of vegetarian you might ask? Well, I had to ask.
- Vegan: No animal products at all.
- Vegetarian: Nothing with a face.
- Ovo-lacto vegetarian: Will eat eggs and dairy.
- Pescatarian: Will eat fish.
As a former chef at Foxhollow, Chef Seckmann sees the curative and preventative properties of food. Note to readers: he is not a vegetarian but was at one time. He says it was bacon that brought him back to carnivore land – a totally understandable reason.
We sat down to breakfast and had two lovely vegan meals.
Lunch and Dinner Entrees
Proving that vegetarian entrees can have some depth are the following:

Inspired? I know I am. I also know that this is the first time I have ever had tofu for breakfast and it will not be my last. It was outstanding.
