Millennium was lauded for its exceptional vegan food long before it was cool to be vegan. Even fervid carnivores trade their steaks for tofu here, where the friendly staff is eager to advise on the area's best organic markets. Influenced by countless cultures, Millennium's gourmet vegan made at the hands of Chef Eric Tucker personifies flavor and creativity. Sustainable products star in dishes like black bean torte with caramelized plantains, pumpkin-habanero papazul, and cashew "sour cream"; maple- and black pepper-glazed smoked tempeh; or Bourbon-and-black salt molten chocolate cake trickled with a smoked pecan ice cream. Dishes are so tasty that this place is packed nightly, so reserve ahead or pray for a seat at the first-come, first-served bar.
