Not necessarily a restaurant, but Vita Mondie-Sapp in Anacostia, DC does catering and offers classes. Here's a Washington Post article about her, which includes some of her recipes with healthy spins on soul food.

Hey There,

I love your blog. Patti Labelle's Light Cusine is a great low-fat cook book that has all types of recipes for soul food.

Take care
