Spicy and Fresh - Franchia Vegan Café

Type of Restaurant:  Vegan Asian fusion

Paragraph of Blurb: This smallish frontage hides a real gem of a place.  The interior is reminiscent of a Japanese tea house and is staggered up like seating in a theatre.  The lines are clean, but not sterile and seating is on high chairs at thick topped wooden tables.  The movable partitions allow large parties to dine at the long benches, but also give privacy to smaller groups.  Staff are very friendly and informative and of course, the provenance of all dishes on the menu is guaranteed vegan.  The prices are very reasonable for a place that has style, comfort and service.

We came in for lunch during the week and it was mainly an office crowd with several tables of single diners, perhaps shoppers, tourists or office escapees.  All were welcomed equally.
