Barbeque might be the food most associated with Houston, TX, but this city has one of the most diverse food scenes in the country. The diversity has only grown as more chefs have embraced vegetarian and vegan recipes. If you are ready to taste some of the best vegetarian food you have ever had, here are three of the best vegetarian restaurants in Houston.

Verdine

If you are looking for a place that serves nothing but vegetarian items, then Verdine is perfect for you. This restaurant serves both vegetarian food and vegan drink options. Their food menu includes classics such as burgers, pizza, soups, and salads.

If you have room for dessert, Verdine has two gluten-free, vegan chocolate options: S’more Love Brownie and Romeo’s Tiramisu. Each dessert can be ordered a la mode with a side of vegan ice cream. They also have a selection of beer and organic, vegan wine. While these beverages are organic and vegan, you still must be the legal drinking age to consume them.

Hugo’s

Mexican food is a staple of Texas food culture. There are many restaurants where you can satisfy your Mexican food craving, but only at Hugo’s can you get some of the best authentic Mexican food served completely vegetarian. While Hugo’s has both meat and meatless options, you will not be disappointed in their vegetarian menu. They have everything from salsa, guacamole, and corn tortilla chip appetizers to large enchiladas platters.  

While it is not a part of the restaurant’s official vegetarian menu, the Squash Blossom Menu is another excellent choice for diners seeking meatless options. Several of the dishes found on the menu are vegetarian, including the goat cheese stuffed squash blossoms and the squash blossom salad.

Soul Food Vegan

If you are looking for a healthier way to enjoy traditional southern cuisine, look no further than Soul Food Vegan. Their lion’s mane mushroom “catfish” basket, cauliflower “steak” with rice and peas, or barbequed jackfruit with a side of mac and cheese and collard green is sure to fill you up. If you are looking for meatless cajun food items, then Soul Food Vegan has you covered. Their mushroom po’ boy is one of its most popular items. They also have vegan boudin balls, jambalaya, and jackfruit Mardi Gras nachos.

Soul Food Vegan also makes organic fruit smoothies. They offer strawberry, coconut, and mango-flavored smoothies, and with the front dual-zone A/C found in your Lincoln Aviator Reserve, you can cruise around Houston without worrying about the Texas sun melting your drinks.
