If food is expensive but every morsel tastes like heaven, then that’s ok. However, if the quality doesn’t match the price, then we are disappointed. Here’s a list of restaurants that we think have struck the right balance.
| Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar International teahouse. Vegetarian cuisine and desserts |
|
| Bodo’s Bagels Fast and easy. Bodo’s bagels is a Charlottesville institution. It provides great value for the price. The bagels are good too! |
|
| Marco and Luca Unbeatable price for tasty noodles and dumplings. |
|
| Mona Lisa Great fresh homemade pasta, pizza and all sorts of sauce |
|
| Cafe 88 Chinese restaurant. Ovo, lacto, and vegan-friendly |
|
| Bizou On the downtown mall. Great patio and good food for the price. The menu doesn’t change much, so no variety but also no big surprises |
|
| Cafe Cubano On the downtown mall. Great for breakfast and delicious paninis for lunch. |
|
| Bashir’s Restaurant Famous for his hams. Mediterranean fare. Tapas. |
|
| Ming Dinasty Favorite Chinese restaurant of many Cville vegetarians |
|
| Hamilton’s One of our top favorites in terms of quality / price ratio. |
