Vegan restaurants in Chicago?
3 Answers
LOL, I just asked more or less the same question. I'm not vegan, but my cousin is, and he's coming to town this weekend. I only know of one place, Native Foods. I had lunch there with my cousin about 2 years ago and it was shockingly good. I say shocking because I had some sort of imitation meat dish and it actually tasted like meat!
I'm not sure if there are any other places worth checking out, which is why I asked the same question, but Native Foods is solid.
Native Foods is a chain with a couple locations in Chicago. The Chicago Diner in Lakeview is good, Blind Faith Cafe in Evanston is very good, Raw Chicago downtown has two locations and is Raw and Vegan. Devon Ave has some Indian restaurants with many vegan options.
I'm not a Vegan, but I really enjoy Native Foods. Both the meatball sandwich and reuben are phenomenal. The Chicago Diner in Lakeview and Logan Square is a very popular vegan choice. The selection there runs pretty deep, and they have a nice outdoor area in the back.
Is Native Foods a chain? For some reason I feel like there's a restaurant with the same name in Colorado.
