Restaurants with a local/natural/organic focus in NEO
- Bistro on Main - Kent, OH
- This restaurant was EXCELLENT! While I don't see this on the website, our waiter told us about how the Bistro trys to buy its meats from local farms and local veggies during the summer...hopefully it's true!
- VegiTerranean - Akron, OH
- I thought this restaurant was strictly vegan (according to the website) but I see quite a few meat and dairy options on the menu. While it might be soy products, I'm just not sure...let me know if you've been!
