It doesn’t take a lot to make veggies tasty, but to make it the main course and the focus of a dish takes a lot of heart and practice. Julia’s delivers on the mission, breakfast, lunch and dinner every time. The chef makes a mean French toast, with locally sourced and caramelly candy cap mushrooms, and playfully reinvents classic fish or meat-focused dishes like fried oysters (using blue oyster mushrooms instead) and green eggs and ham (no ham, but a whole avocado with eggs covered in guasacaca). Given the inventiveness here, the chef would be tough to beat at Mr. Potato Head.
