About

Espécie is a vegetarian restaurant with roughly half the menu reported as vegan, including chestnut-and-cabbage dumplings, Korean fried cauliflower and peanut-shiitake noodles. The dimly lit dining room and outdoor seating suit dinner, though some diners find prices high and report uneven service or inconsistent results with individual dishes.
