Fully vegan kitchens only — the whole menu is plant-based. For vegetarian dining rooms that still serve dairy, see best vegetarian restaurants.
If you want one plate that converts a skeptic, start at Terror Tacos on South Grand. For brunch, Seedz Cafe in DeMun is the ritual. County dinner is Bombay Food Junkies on Olive Boulevard, with Plant Italia next door. Dessert and breakfast still belong to SweetArt.
