|
Galerias on Broadway - Capital Hill 611 Broadway East 206.322.5757 |
|
||||
| Our friend from Mexico says
this is the ONLY Mexican restaurant he likes in Seattle! Not your run of
the mill South of the Border gloppy-gooey stuff. Minimal rice and beans
with eclectic items. North end of Capitol Hill. |
|||||
| Honey Court - International District 516 Maynard Ave S 206.292.8828 |
|
||||
| REAL Chinese food. Not vegetarian, but they

immense. |

is prepared beautifully and all our dishes were spiced to perfection. |
|||||
|
Kisaku
- Wallingford 2101 N 55th St 206.545.9050 |
|
||||
| Lovely sushi and they were
willing to remake some of the dishes (i.e. agedashi dofu) without bonito
dashi for us! Not many busy places will do that for new customers!! 5
stars right there!! The veggie tempura was plentiful and delicious also. |
|||||
|
Lark
- Capitol Hill 926 12th Ave 206.323.5275 |
|
||||
| We've enjoyed Lark twice and
it is so lovely with small-ish plates of food and small-ish prices so that
you can order numerous ones and share. The quality of the food is
excellent and the plating is gorgeous. Wonderful service too |
|||||
| Molly
Moon's Homemade Ice Cream
- Wallingford: 1622 1/2 N 45th St 206.547.5105 Capitol Hill: 917 E Pine St 206.708.7947 |
|
||||
| Huge portions of organic ice
cream in a warm homemade waffle cone. Salted Caramel is their top seller
and my #1 choice each time. We always get a couple pints to take home. The
prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity. |
|||||
| 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. |
|||||
|
Portage Bay - 4130 Roosevelt Way NE, 206.547.8230 391 Terry Ave N, 206.462.6400 |
|
||||
| Wonderful breakfast served all
day with seasonal menus. Not your run of the mill fare. Many veggie and
organic items and the portions are large. Not open for dinner. |
|||||
|
Senor Moose Cafe - Ballard 5242 Leary Ave. NW, 206.784.5568 |
|
||||
| Be prepared to wait, especially for
brunch, but who cares when you will have the best home-cooked Mexican
food north of ME-HI-KO! Very unique dishes with numerous vegetarian
choices. |
|||||
|
Sutra -
Wallingford 1605 N 45th St, 206.547.1348 |
|
||||
| I'm so jealous.....this is what I've
always dreamed of doing. Sutra is a homey large square room with high
tables and chairs. The four owners prepare exquisite organic, vegetarian,
seasonal meals in a prix-fixe arrangement four nights weekly with two
seatings each evening. There are four courses served with love and
patience. You sit with other diners and chat in the mellow surroundings.
Not cheap....but it shouldn't be for what you receive. (Across the street
from Molly Moon....but you probably will be too full to indulge after your
Sutra dinner!) |
|||||
|
Tamarind Tree - International District 1036 South Jackson St, Suite A, 206.860.1404 |
|
||||
| Eclectic Vietnamese dining in
a tucked away funky spot on the north side of Jackson in the I.D.
Amazing food and lots of veggie options. |
|||||
|
Tilth - Wallingford Seattle 1411 N 45th St. 206.633.0801 |
|
||||
| Not cheap, but who cares when such
amazing organic ingredients are used! Tilth is in an older home and
there are a few tables per room in this cozy atmosphere. Lovely dishes
prepared with > some veggie options available. If the Food Network says
it's a winner, that is good enough for me!. |
|||||
| Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria - Seattle 4918 Rainier Ave. S. 206.721.3501 Stone Way, Wallingford South Lake Union Gilman Dr, Issaquah |
|
||||
| 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. |
|||||
|
Volterra - Ballard 5411 Ballard Ave NW 206.789.5100 |
|
||||
| We thought we'd check out this
Ballard establishment that Rachael Ray raved about and we must say it was
worth the trip. The portions were generous and they were very willing to
alter many dishes to accommodate our being vegetarians. The house baked
bread was divine and the E.V.O.O. was so fruity and yummy. The chocolate
orange dessert alone was worth going for! We enjoyed all five items we
ordered very much. |
|||||
|
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. |

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 601 108th Ave NE #100a 425.455.3226 |
|
|

|
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. |
|||||
|
India Gate - Eastgate in Bellevue 3080 148th Ave SE., 425.747.1075 |
|
|
|||
| They have been around for
years and keep getting better. The daily buffet is full of veggie
delights and the restaurant is clean and has easy access with lots of
parking. |
|||||
|
Kanishka - Redmond 16101 Redmond Way 425.869.9182 |
|
||||
| Daily buffet is hearty and
oh-so-filling. Many many vegetarian options and big kudos to Kanishka
for using real saffron (the world's most expensive spice) in their yummy
rice pudding. |
|||||
| 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 Bothell: 20611 Bothell-Everett Hwy, 425.481.6900 |
|
||||
| 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!! |
|||||
|
Pabla Veggie Cuisine - Renton: 364 Renton Center Way, 425.455.2793 Issaquah: 1420 N.W. Gilman Blvd, 425.392.4725 |
|
||||
| Completely vegetarian daily
buffet and menu items for dinner. Always good and always the same! I
like surprises but I know what lunch will be anytime I go as whatever
they serve today, is what they had last time too! |
|||||
|
Pomegranate - Redmond 18005 NE 68th St, 425.556.5972 |
|
||||
| Lisa Dupar has had a
successful catering business for decades so naturally her adjacent
restaurant would be a hit. Try the flatbreads. The menu changes often
and while dining you can watch the bakers work through the glass along
the huge back wall. |
|||||
|
Santa
Fe Grill - Totem Lake 12709 NE 124th St, 425.821.9405 |
|
||||
| Many veggie options and
GINORMOUS portions. |
|||||
|
Square Lotus - Factoria 13800 107th, 425.455.2793 |
|
||||
| Vietnamese cuisine at its
best. Huge vegetarian menu as well as regular menu. Many dishes have
meat substitutes made from chewy gluten and soy products that are very
delicious. |
|||||
| Sushiland - Bellevue
(Redmond, Seattle) 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. |
|||||

|
||||

One full page of vegetarian items and awesome desserts. |

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. |

Preservation Kitchen - Bothell 17121 Bothell Way NE , 425.408.1306 |
|
|
|||
| What a find! The chef knows
how to create with LOVE as all the dishes (we had seven items) were so
beautifully prepared. No salt and pepper on the tables which I always
think is odd, but everything was spiced just right. Lots of veggie options
but I must say the Onion Gnocchi were TO DIE FOR! The service was
spectacular to boot. The restaurant is in a lovely refurbished mansion that
was built in 1916 and was a brothel at one point! Hey, I was enjoying
myself just eating there and can only imagine...... |
