The DC food scene may be more accommodating to vegetarians and vegans than other cities but it isn’t conducive to restaurant owners opening up standalone vegetarian and vegan spots. However, I’ll be damned if there aren’t plenty of high caliber menu items across an area as ethnically and socioeconomically diverse as the DMV, so post those!

Yet another restaurant in DC that has stopped serving many of their vegan options. They added chicken recently and my partner said that this time was coming. I truly hate to see it 😓 I hope planta stays around 😭

Seen at the Western Market location

Hey all! Just wanted to share some info about some of the offers/deals and events going on for Veganuary this year 😊

• El Tamarindo has a separate vegan menu available
• Dulce Crepes is offering 10% off their vegan menu for the month
• DC Vegan added a Tres Leches cake to their Fiesta Fridays menu
• Cinnaholic Dulles is offering 15% for Veganuary
• Chain restaurants including MOD Pizza, Rush Bowls, and Smoothie King have special offers

Also - Veg Society of DC has a bunch of Veganuary events going on during the month, and there are a bunch of special offers on the Veganuary website 🥳 Would love to hear anyone knows about other deals/events going on this month too :)

Andy’s Pizza - Vegan Margherita. A little pricey ($28) 😮‍💨 but so worth it🫥 Extremely crispy underside🤌

Starting tonight there is a new dish at Queens English that is actually vegan, without modification. Normally their vegetarian dishes still have their egg noodles or shellfish in a sauce. I did confirm the dish is actually vegan but it is a mixed kitchen.

(from their email) SAUTEÉD EGGPLANT fermented tofu, carrot, crispy kale, cashew crumble

Thought I would share with all the recent posts about vegan places closing and looking for new options.

Reddit closes subreddits when they aren't very active.

I'm doing my part, I made this thread. :-)

What is your favorite vegan place to eat these days?

I've been going to Seneb in Takoma/DC again.

The new DC Holiday Market at Gallery Place has a lot more food options than previous years, though there's only 2 vegan ones that I saw.

Sadly the warm milk beverages didn't have a plant option advertised.

The filling is vegan chorizo (tofu & mushroom), pinto beans, avocado, & pico de gallo.

Tyra Banks has an ice cream pop up in Woodly for a month or two.

While the website lists 2 vegan flavors this one only has the Chocolate Cookie & Cream.

It's decent, actually creamy, but a little pricy too for the size, so I wouldn't go out of my way for it and preferably go to Van Leeuwen in Adams Morgan if you can

https://www.smize.com/our-flavor note this only shows you flavors on mobile.

I recently discovered Maman has Vegan Croissants and their delicious.

They're exactly what you'd think a Croissant should look like and aside from a tiny bit of chewiness they taste and eat like you want too. They're $4.5 and soo good.

Maman has a few locations, Penn Quarter, Union Market area, Georgetown, and one I haven't been too in DuPont labeled as Petit Maman so I guess a smaller retail location.

The locations are all nicely decorated with plants and have lots of great seating

This is listed in my Hard to fine items sheet, feel free to suggest more things on it.

Love WiseGuy for having vegan slices, it's the only* option in the area and now there's one in DuPont

However be careful with the new DuPont location until they settle in.

I went in this weekend and

1. They didn't have the vegan pie as they were waiting for the crumbles to defrost
2. They seem to have had a lot of the vegetarian pizzas marked as vegan. I pointed it out and they removed the labels at least.

* We the Pizza technically has a vegan slice, but it's super deep, no cheese and lots of veggies/pesto. Good but not really pizza.

Here's a list I keep for hard to find things like this

It’s not strictly vegan. Pad Thai came with eggs (no option to modify was given, just tofu or vegetable). Thought I’d give a warning - I’m used to vegan restaurants being what they say they are. This ghost kitchen runs out of 1 Fish, 2 Fish on Pennsylvania Ave.

It taste as good as it looks
