Ernest Hemingway, who inspired the name for this healthy cafe, would probably scratch his head at the sight of the menu: all this tofu, soy cheese and protein-enforcement. We, however, don't come to discuss art and philosophy and we do like the menu items. They are prepared with enough flavor to make up for the lack of fat. Try any of the south-of-the-border specialties such as enchiladas verduras (with tofu, soy cheese, grilled shrimp or chicken) or the fajitas (made with beefy- tasting portobello mushrooms). Pasta dishes such as the chipotle cappellini and the pasta primavera make great use of vegetables. And what would a health-food restaurant be without a full line of meat-free burgers? Besides vegetable- and grain- based versions, there's a more moderate shrimp burger, and even a chicken version. In fact, the addition of chicken and seafood dishes to the menu is a great plus. Indulge in roasted chicken (billed as natural chicken, of course), served with mashed potatoes and greens, or the herb- encrusted rainbow trout, served over a bed of organic brown rice with a heaping helping of grilled vegetables. For dessert -- or as a meal -- try a fancy-fruit or protein-packed, non-dairy smoothie.
