Vegetarian Thai Cuisine. Huge menu that is prepared beautifully and all our dishes were spiced to perfection.
Moonlight Cafe - International District, Seattle
1919 South Jackson St 206.322.3378
Who knew there was something more than PHO??!! Very extensive Vietnamese dining and the vegetarian menu has 105 items on it and so far, everything we've ordered has been scrumptious. Parking is right out front which is not the norm in the Int'l. District.

Serious Pie - Seattle
316 Virginia, 206.838.7388
Any restaurant that specializes in only one cuisine usually knows what they're doing and Serious Pie sure fires up some seriously yummy pizza. We ordered amazing salads and two individual pizzas and were delighted with the chewy crusts and lovely toppings. Wonderful!

Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria - Seattle
4918 Rainier Ave. S. 206.721.3501
As an East Coast pizza lover, I thoroughly approve of this spectacular pizzeria. There are numerous vegetarian options and two of the four salad choices are vegetarian. This is one of only ten pizza establishments in the United States that has received approval by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana from Naples Italy. 

Vegan Garden - Seattle
1228 S Jackson St, 206-726-8669

The vegan Vietnamese menu is almost overwhelming.
 
Vegetarian Bistro - Seattle
668 S King Street, 206.624.8899

One of areas few pure vegetarian Chinese restaurants. They use seasonal vegetables and the textures are wonderful. Located in the heart of the International District.
 
Wann - Seattle
2020 2nd Ave, 206.441.5637

 Japanese Izakaya style which means small plates of appetizer-sized items. Vegetarian friendly, but beware the "bonito" which are fish flakes used to make the broth (dashi). The kitchen has, on each occasion, been wonderful about making us vegetarian dashi.  Beautiful food presentation in this eclectic and modern venue.

 

Eastside


Blue Ginger - Bellevue
14045 NE 20th St, 425.746.1222

This large, clean restaurant is basically a Korean barbeque place however, as vegetarians, we ate like royalty. The staff altered some of the standards and we had the traditional seafood pancakes sans fish and it was so lovely. Bimbimpap (all veggie) was wonderful and the tofu soup was spicy and wonderful. Plus when you sit down, you are served warm roasted corn tea and a table full of various veggies and traditional pickles that alone make a nice meal.

Chantanee - Bellevue
150 105th Ave NE, 425.455.3226

I Love Sushi - Bellevue
11818 NE 8th, 425.454.5706

Inchin's Bamboo Garden - Redmond
16564 Cleveland St, 425.284.0671
At first glance you may be bewildered and wonder if you have stumbled into one of the areas many Indian restaurants until you realize that you are dining in an Indian-Chinese restaurant. The portions and the prices are a bit less than most places which is a pleasant surprise.

Jeem Asian Restaurant - Redmond
14850 N.E. 24th St., 425.883.8858

Chinese cuisine. The best Chinese food by far that I have had in the state of Washington. There are a number of yummy dim sum vegetarian items available at lunchtime although the dinner menu has a greater selection of veggie offerings. The staff is very accommodating will gladly make veggie fare.

Lakeshore Veggie House - Kirkland
15 Lake St #103 425.889.2850
Brand new in downtown Kirkland is this amazing find!! All vegetarian and all authentic Chinese fare served by the most helpful and friendly staff. Located downstairs across from the waterfront gazebo.

Malay Satay Hut - Redmond
15230 NE 24th St, 425.564-0888

This unique restaurant is very vegetarian friendly with many colorful and exciting dishes. The mango tofu dish is amazing and excites every taste bud.

Mayuri Indian Restaurant - Bellevue
15400 NE 20th, 425.641.4442
Unbelievable authentic Northern and Southern Indian buffet seven days a week. I have NEVER been disappointed in my 100+ visits there!

Meze Mediterranean Deli - Kirkland
935 Sixth St South, 425.828.3923
Consistently delicious. Spotlessly clean. Large percentage of vegetarian items, especially during lunch. Try the Number 1 Panini sandwich--to die for!!
Mysore Masala Indian Cuisine
(formerly Namasthe Cuisine)
- Redmond
16650 Redmond Way, 425.558.7858
Completely vegetarian southern Indian restaurant with very large lunch buffet daily. The food, the owners and wait staff are all wonderful. After eating the lunch buffet, you'll find it hard to be hungry for dinner.

Sushiland - Bellevue and Redmond (Bella Botega)
13800 107th, 425.455.2793
The sushi revolves on a conveyer belt and you take the small plates one by one, stacking the used dishes to be counted when finished. If you desire something not revolving, just ask and it will appear.

Taqueria El Gallo - Redmond
16720 Redmond Way, 425.702.9226
Fantastic Mexican food but be prepared to be one of the few non-Spanish speakers there!

Taj Palace - Bellevue
2331 140th NE, 425.643.4200
From the moment you enter this attractive restaurant, you are welcomed warmly by the owner. The lunch buffet has many vegetarian choices, and some nice desserts. A great find.

South Seattle


Chan Ho - Kent
18124 E Valley Hwy, 206.251-8818

Tucked back off the main drag, is this wonderful little authentic Chinese vegetarian place with a large menu. The lunch menu offers many choices and you'll be so stuffed you most likely won't be eating dinner.
 

Omar Al Khyam - Renton
354 Sunset Blvd N, 425.271.8300
OMG was this an amazing place! It's literally ON the off ramp of Exit #4 going south on 405 and has been in the same location for 29 yrs. with the same owner. We all agreed that the tabouli was the best we'd ever had, the domas were more delicate than most, the two salads were sublime, the split pea soup (with a secret ingredient) was to die for, the zahra (delicately fried lemon cauliflower with tahini) and baklava were from heaven if heaven exists. Middle Eastern perfection.

 

North of Seattle


Frida's - Bothell
3226 132nd St SE, 425.357.8606

Gourmet Mexican Cuisine. Decor is beautiful with artwork by Frida Kahlo. Everything is fresh, with beautiful presentation. Definitely not your run of the mill Mexican restaurant.
 

Sushi Zen - Mill Creek
13206 Bothell - Everett Hwy 425.357.1611
Nice sushi bar, large and nicely decorated dining room. Many types of unique sushi not likely to be served elsewhere.

Wasabi Bay - Mill Creek
16300 Mill Creek Blvd, 425.743.4424

Japanese fusion. The eclectic environment and exquisitely prepared creations are almost too good to eat. The sushi chef takes great pride in designing edible art using the freshest ingredients.
