Blue Hen

Description:

• Located in the northeastern part of the city, Blue Hen is the place to go if you are squeamish about pesticides in your food. Fully organic, the restaurant lends support to local farms, thus ensuring that their ingredients are always fresh and healthy. Vietnamese cuisine rules the roost here. Try the traditional noodle soup followed by tofu with scallions, the chicken baguette sandwich with Asian veggies, or the caramelized ginger chicken—unlike other restaurants that soak all their dishes in a dubious fish sauce, this one retains the natural flavors. Organic coffee and sodas comprise the drinks list, while the banana bread pudding wins the joint some brownie points for desserts. Clean, efficient and reasonably priced, this is a good place to try out something new, yet not outlandish.
