Description

Miss MoKaBe's brunch? It's on at the Shangri-La, a kitschy-cool hangout started up by MoKaBe's brunch mastermind, Patrice Mari. Come in on Sundays for crème brûlée French toast, freshly made strawberry-lime-orange juice, scrambled tofu, fruit pie and more. Or stop by on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for an à la carte breakfast or lunch to take the edge off an afternoon of Antique Row browsing. The anti-aging menu means lots of yummy salmon, beans, tofu, spinach and fruit. But Mari's not afraid of a little dessert, either; she makes a cupcake called Hostess with the Mostess. It is, and so is she.

  • 2009 | Best French Toast

    After a long hard night, all you want is a little love, a little sweetness, a lot of comfort. You want something to smooth out all of life's sharp edges. So you head to the Shangri-La Diner on Cherokee Street, plunk down your sorry ass in a comfy vinyl booth and order a pot of coffee and the crème brûlée French toast. Then you sit back and look around the happy little psychedelic cave you've stumbled into. The swirly patterns on the walls. The paper lanterns and beaded... More »

  • 2006 | Best Burger (Non-Beef Division)

    Sweet Lord Almighty, the menu at the Shangri-La Diner can read our mind. We've been enjoying Patrice Mari's excellent veggie burger ever since the Shangri-La opened its groovy doors in 2005. We've tried in vain to find a veggie burger as tasty, as juicy--what the hell, as meaty as the Shangri-La's. Aiming to sample this stellar sandwich just one more time before placing the Best Of crown atop its fluffy bun, we stopped by the diner on a recent afternoon. Took a seat. Opened the menu.... More »

  • 2006 | Best Vegetarian Restaurant

    We're gonna live forever; we shall feast like kings. For the rest of our many, many days, we shall indulge in beans, tofu, salmon, whole grains, broccoli, fruit and little else save the occasional baseball-size iced cupcake made with real butter and sugar. Our mortal shells shall reap the benefits of all these nutrients and proteins, these healthy fats and complex carbs. Our moral selves shall rest easy in the knowledge that such a diet is about as vegetarian-friendly as you can get at a... More »

  • 2005 | Best Sunday Brunch

    If Holly Golightly had practiced her insouciant brand of hedonism just a few years longer -- waiting out the goody-two-shoes good times of the late 1950s and early 1960s and helping herald in America's groovy, post-JFK counterculture -- she wouldn't have had any more breakfasts at Tiffany's. She would have enjoyed brunches at Shangri-La, a trippy time capsule of a diner nestled among the vintage stores of Cherokee Street's quaint Antique Row. The place screams acid trip, from the...

    Americana comes in many forms. Sometimes it's the painting American Gothic, or Edward Hopper's 1942 scene-from-a-diner masterpiece, Nighthawks. Sometimes it's roadside burger shacks, grease trucks parked on the fringes of college campuses, Mom's... More »
