The vegetarian menus here are so good that other caterers quietly send their meat-averse clients to Lisa Shamai’s east-end kitchen. Known generally for fresh, global cuisine, Shamai’s vegan and vegetarian menus have become a specialty in recent years. At one vegan wedding, guests dined on Thai red curry with tempeh, Moroccan stew, and Vietnamese grilled tofu with glass noodles. Coconut-chocolate squares and soy ice cream with fresh summer fruit round out the dairy-free menu. Untraditional in other ways, too, Shamai prefers such off-the-beaten-track venues as Todmorden Mills and the Cecil Street Community Centre (an unlikely spot to find a glamorous domed ceiling and lovely private courtyard).
- How much:
- buffet dinner $22–$34 per person, plus wait staff and chef’s charges.
