When it comes to Washington, PETA isn’t just about sending lettuce biki-clad babes to Capitol Hill. The organization just released a list of the best vegan restaurants for celebrating spotting, and gave top credits to a local spot: Woodland’s Vegan Bistro. The Park View eatery came in at number three out of five in the nation.

PETA purposely omitted New York and Los Angeles from this ranking, highlighting cities where it’s less common to see celebs chowing on “chicken.” Woodland’s recently hosted Kim and Kanye for a Southern soul food-inspired meatless meal. The restaurant also counts Beyoncé, Jay Z, Ginuwine, and Jason Mraz as A-list patrons, among others. As for Stevie Wonder, he prefers Evolve in Takoma Park.
