Resident Foodies say: We’re thrilled to see that The Plant: Organic Cafe has made it north to Marin County opening a location in Mill Valley. The Plant serves all organic food from locally grown ingredients. The Cafe has locations already in SF and SFO, but this is the first one across the Golden Gate bridge into Marin.

The menu is creative and lunch combinations very well done. We’ve been sampling some of their sandwiches. The Mango Lime Chicken panini is our favorite so far–it’s unique and yummy, with the bread toasted to perfection. The Plant Burger was fun to look at, but the veggie patty disintegrates too easily when you bite into it. In other words, it gets sloppy. It pales in comparison to North Star Cafe’s veggie burger in Columbus, the best we’ve tried.

Resident Foodies say: Avatar’s is one of our favorites in Sausalito. Here’s the yogurt marinated chicken, with grilled vegetables and basmati rice. This dish is so yummy it’s hard to describe.
