BEST GREEN RESTAURANT

Mind Body & Spirits
301 S. Main St., Rochester; 248-651-3663
One look at this restaurant and you'd think the greening of America has finally arrived, in a joint where the rainwater is gathered and leftovers are composted and used to nourish the soil in the greenhouse garden. Mike Plesz, inspired by his daughters, has created not only a restaurant that could be a model for helping save the planet, but also a worthy dining destination, serving vegan veggie grain burgers, vegetarian and gluten-free corn and coconut fritters, MBS free-range, grass-fed organic beef burgers and dairy-free, spicy Vietnamese shrimp pasta. Organic is the buzzword here, even applicable to the beer, wine and liquor served in the upstairs Higher Spirits Lounge.
