A Small, On-Campus Vegetarian Place
This is a small vegetarian restaurant in the basement of the Channing-Murray Society Building (looks like a red and white church). In fact, all the food is vegan. Its only open during the academic year, but it is a great place to stop and get a quick bite to eat. Its cheap and the menu changes daily: one or more entrees (usually two), a few soups, and some sandwiches. Sometimes, if you are lucky, there are cookies or other baked goods as well.
Directions:
Take Oregon until it merges with Mathews and its on your left. It's right by Davenport Hall and the Foreign Languages Building.

The ambience here is somewhat lacking, but the menu features eclectic options and eco-conscious choices. The food was tasty, but sat a bit heavy for me. Large portions and decent prices make this a worthwhile place, but with room for improvement.
