If Houston vegetarianism proves anything, it’s that a modern-day vegetarian or vegan diet ventures far beyond salads and veggie burgers. Rather, chefs are bringing in ideas from all over the world, from traditional dishes like cheeseburgers, enchiladas, and dosas, to specific local reinventions, like vegan barbecue, toppings-laden Tex-Mex hot dogs, and flavorful, yet completely meatless queso.
While Verdine, Flower Child, Onion Creek Coffee House, sweetgreen, Pondicheri, Kiran’s, HS Green Fresh Food Kitchen, Loving Hut, Kiran’s, and Maharaja Bhog have all been rotated out, this list is now featuring newer additions, like Houstonatlantavegan; mantra; Soul Food Vegan; Crumbville, TX; Houston Sauce Pit; Chowpatty Chat; San San Tofu; and Cascabel.
Whether you are in search of something spicy and exotic sans meat, a casual neighborhood joint to satisfy soup, salad, and sandwich cravings, or a decadent dive into Houston cuisine, check out this map of essential vegetarian restaurants around the city.
