Casa De Luz   

If youre looking for the healthiest meal in Austin, look no further than Casa de Luz. One of the countrys best macrobiotic restaurants, Casa de Luz sits behind a Montessori school in a shaded herb garden of an oasis. The prix fixe lunch or dinner may look and sound foreign to you, but it will surely taste delicious. Meals usually include soup, balanced portions of grains, legumes and vegetables and water or herb tea. You can ask what things are, but with names such as sea vegetable pate, kim pira and burdock, it may not help. Just take a deep breath, relax into the New Age music and taste. You wont be disappointed. And you can get a second helping of anything that strikes your fancy. Who knows, you may discover a deep love for nori maki. -- Lynett Oliver
