If you love a meatless or plant-based diet, you may be pleased to know that Atlanta, GA has a lot of vegan and vegetarian restaurants with a great variety of food choices.
From meatless Mexican croquetas to vegan Atlanta soul food, below are some of the best vegan restaurants in Atlanta.
CAFE SUNFLOWER
2140 Peachtree Road, Suite 105
An award-winning Buckhead institution, Cafe Sunflower is a mainstay in lists of best vegan restaurants in Atlanta. Since 1994, it has prided itself in an extensive, 100% vegan menu consisting of international cuisine, including Asian, Mediterranean, and Mexican. Don’t miss out on their signature dishes: Spicy Pad Thai, nut-free spring rolls, and Gyro wrap. For a more Southern experience, order the buffalo lollipops and supreme nachos and pair these with craft beer.
SLUTTY VEGAN
1542 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard SW
Originally a delivery service founded in Westview in 2018, Slutty Vegan quickly amassed a loyal following for its provocative meat-free menu consisting of hotdogs, chicken sandwiches, and burgers with “Slut Sauce.” Must-tries include trademarked items such as Fussy Hussy Burger, One Night Stand, Chik’N Head, Ménage à Trois, and Big Dawg.
PLANTA
99 Krog Street NE
First founded in Florida, Planta is a full-service restaurant with a diverse menu ranging from sushi to brick oven pizza, including a vodka-infused basil pesto pizza. Be sure to check out signature dishes like the Thai Lettuce Wrap and the Planta Burger, which comes with truffle fries or salad.
The Krog spot is famous for its tropical-themed interiors that beautifully transition as the day wears on – great for unwinding after scouting houses for sale in Atlanta GA.
PLANT BASED PIZZERIA
730 Barnett Street NE
Atlantans often regard Plant Based Pizzeria as their go-to for artisanal vegan pizza. The Big Peach’s first all-vegan pizza place, it offers 15 specialties that use cheese alternatives from peas, fava beans, and rice proteins. Its locally sourced mains are also guaranteed free of soy, white flour, and white sugar. Be sure to try the Georgia Peach Pizza, which marries Atlanta peaches with jalapeños.
LA SEMILLA
780 Memorial Drive SE Unit 4A
A tropics-inspired haven by husband-and-wife team Sophia Marchese Trapani and chef Reid Trapani, La Semilla does a fresh take on Latin dishes. Sophia’s Cuban ancestry and Reid’s travels to South America manifest in their plant-based dishes such as vegan Cubano with jackfruit, croquetas de jamon with seitan ham, and bistec de palomilla fashioned with fresh, homegrown Lion’s Mane mushrooms.
SOUL VEGETARIAN
Branch 1: 879 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard SW
Branch 2: 652 North Highland Avenue NE
A West End gem since 1979, Soul Vegetarian flexes Atlanta soul food minus the meat. As such, diners can expect 100% vegan comfort food like collard greens, smoky BBQ tofu, and dairy-free mac and cheese – all made without deep-frying at their two locations. Try the Kalebone sandwich, made with the restaurant’s signature wheat gluten protein.
