OT: Vegan restaurants

A friend of mine is looking for places with vegan options while visiting this weekend. Besides double wide, any suggestions? Does OTB have vegan food?

I wouldn't suggest the double wide. I worked there for a short time a few years ago. It was a common practice in the kitchen there for the seitan wings to be cooked in a fryer with meat, even though there was a vegan only fryer. I'm sure someone that is vegan wouldn't go for that. I would recommend Zenith cafe in the south side. I went to the Sunday brunch buffet there not long ago and it was awesome. The vegan chocolate cake was the best. You can check out their facebook on Saturday night to see what they are serving on Sunday. I have also heard good things about quiet storm but haven't had the chance to find out yself yet.

East End Food Co-op is good about labeling stuff in their cafe/take-out section.


Maybe Zenith on the S Side?

Curious. Don't most chinese restaurants have some vegan tofu dishes?

All of the above. You can't forget about Quiet Storm, either.


@Mick Yes, though some sauces have fish or oyster sauce in them, so it's best to ask.

I was talking about them today over lunch with my former boss. good south indian fud. There's a reason why they're so secluded: every dish prepared is like a cosmic a-bomb; no neighboring business could survive the constant explosions of wonderfulness.

Knowing my wife's taste in food I'm betting it's gonna be spak.

they sell antiques, vintage clothing, and are also a restaurant. Not gonna lie, I felt very awkward in there, because I was looking around, and when I sat down, it took about 10 minutes for someone to realize I was there. but the food was good.
