Best Restaurants for Vegetarians in USA

Leave a Comment

best restaurants for vegetariansWith interest in vegetarian and plant-based diets growing, more diners are seeking restaurants that cater to their desire to avoid eating meat, poultry or fish.

Here are the top 50 restaurants for vegetarians in the USA, according to OpenTable, which compiled the list from more than 12 million verified reviews of nearly 30,000 restaurants in all 50 states with the best sustainable and meatless menu choices.

The 2019 survey shows that plant-based diets and meat alternatives have become much more prevalent than previous years, increasing by 200 percent since 2017.

Additionally, there were less than 100 reviews before 2016 that mention “vegan”, but that number has since increased by almost 15,000 per month.

From locally grown, organic ingredients at Gracias Madre in West Hollywood, Calif. to the cutting edge vegetable offerings from award-winning chef, Amanda Cohen, at Dirt Candy in New York City, the list is perfect for vegans and vegetarians everywhere and even their omnivore friends at the table.

With 16 restaurants on the list, California takes the lead, followed by Pennsylvania and New York with 10 winners each. Washington, D.C. comes in fourth with seven restaurants, Florida is close behind with six and Illinois and Texas each claim four restaurants.

Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington were also featured.

In alphabetical order, because that’s the only fair way.

OpenTable’s list of the 50 Best Restaurants for Vegetarians in America for 2019 is generated solely from diner reviews collected between August 1, 2018 and July 31, 2019.

All restaurants with a minimum “overall” rating and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration.

Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the sum of tags spanning “good vegetarian options”, “vegetarian options” or “vegan.”

The complete list may also be viewed at https://www.opentable.com/lists/best-restaurants-for-vegetarians-us-2019.
