2. White Dog Café

UNIVERSITY CITY.   Located in the University City area, this eclectic café serves wonderfully prepared New American cuisine and dishes up a bit of social activism on the side. (It works diligently to benefit poor and disenfranchised people locally and internationally, and it supports sustainable sources of seafood, organic growers, and family farmers.) Midday entrees include salads, gourmet sandwiches, burgers, and creative fresh fish dishes. Dinner features incredible options like sherry cumin-glazed lamb sirloin, seared Alaskan halibut, and pan-crisped Peking duck breast.   (© 10Best)

Owner Judy Wicks opened the White Dog Café in 1983 with the stated mission of "doing well by doing good." Along with its fine menu of food — entrées like citrus marinated tofu or grilled free-range lamb leg — White Dog hosts monthly talks on local and national politics, curates rotating art exhibits (a recent one featured farms that are the source of White Dog's menu), and coordinates community service days.
