Here are some new additions to VRG\u2019s guide:<\/p>\n

Buatong Thai Vegan Restaurant, 6735 N. First S.t, #107, Fresno, CA 93710<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the spirit of a vegan fairy tale come true, Buatong Thai Vegan came into being after the new owners took over a formerly traditional Thai restaurant and overhauled the menu, making every item 100% vegan. From the salads and soups to the rice and noodle dishes, the menu offers all that you would expect from a Thai restaurant, including Laab vegan chicken made with Thai chili and lime dressing, lemongrass, cilantro, and onion; the Tom Yum soup; red, yellow, and green curry dishes; and the Drunken Noodle (stir-fried wide rice noodles with fresh chili, vegan ground meat, basil, bean sprouts, jalapeno, and tomato). And no Thai meal is complete without a sweet rice or fruit-based dessert\u2014so save room for the fried banana and coconut ice cream or the sweet rice with mango.<\/p>\n

Fire & Spice, 491 Capitol Ave., Hartford, CT 06106<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fire & Spice Vegan Restaurant offers several small-plate and bakery items. Menu items comprise several global flavors such as Jamaican, Indian, and Rastafarian. Appetizers include potato samosas, jerk plantain patties, and cabbage turnovers. The Ital Rastafarian stew consists of coconut milk with sweet potato, pumpkin, and red beans. Several bakery items are available such as whoopie pies (red velvet and chocolate), cookies (oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip), breads\/rolls, and mini loaves (banana walnut and plantain with sunflower and pumpkin seeks).<\/p>\n

Hi Flora, 2558 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55405<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi! Flora is a THC-infused restaurant with a variety of plant-based eats and euphoric drinks at their temperance bar. If you\u2019re looking for an indie, underground eatery with a psychedelic ambience, don\u2019t shy away from stopping by, especially to sit under their low lavender-colored lamps. You can dine in for their Cashew Hemp Cheese Dip, Shroomy Shawarma, Fried Maitake Sandwich, Wild Rice Burger, or Hi! Quesadilla. As for their alcohol-free, but still state-altering drinks, their Potion of Peace, Livener Bubbles, Banana Cream Colada, Smoked Juniper, or Hazelnut Horchata all sound like viable options if you\u2019re looking to capture that dark, spooky forest or cottage core vibe.<\/p>\n

Lively Up Yourself, Midtown Yacht Club Location, 1661 NE 4th St., Bend, Oregon 97701 and Eurosports & Food Cart Garden Location, 223 E. Hood Ave., Sisters, Oregon 97759<\/strong><\/p>\n

With menus inspired by the owners\u2019 Midwestern upbringing, Lively Up Yourself aims to bring nostalgic comfort food flavors to vegans while also enticing non-vegans to try a plant-based meal. Nothing says nostalgia like macaroni and cheese, and here you will find a selection of Mac Bowls, ranging from the Classic with their OG cheeze sauce, green onion and paprika, to the Krabby Mac, made with a krabby patty, Cajun remoulade, ranch, green onion, paprika, and dulse flakes. Other tantalizing options include the St. Louis Style Ribz (made-from-scratch seitan and jackfruit ribz coated in a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce with ranch) and the B*tchin Chik\u2019n sandwich, a breaded seitan buffalo chik\u2019n patty served with a garlic aioli, pickles, tomatoes, and ranch coleslaw. There are some variations in menu offerings between the two locations, and it\u2019s noted that most items can be made gluten-free upon request. And in case you\u2019re wondering, yes, their name was inspired by the Bob Marley song.<\/p>\n

Planta, 316 Wythe Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11249<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking for a fancy vegan restaurant for any special occasion? Planta is the place to be! Planta expands the accessibility of fine dining.

The Fix Falafel & Things, West Street Market, 148 West St., Reno, NV 89501<\/strong><\/p>\n

At The Fix Falafel & Things there are gluten-free options, and you can order online. One of their wraps called \u2018The Hornet\u2019 includes falafel, grilled mushrooms, onions, black olives, pepperoncini, lettuce, and mustard. They also serve vegan meat products such as chicken and steak.<\/p>\n

Thrive, 1509 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, CO 80302<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much of their menu features raw plant foods. The decor is almost as colorful as their food but we suggest tucking into one of their smoothies and hearty soups and getting a side of flax crackers to go along with it all! They have outdoor seating.<\/p>\n

Veg-O-Rama, 44930 Ford Rd., Canton, MI 48187<\/strong><\/p>\n

Veg-O-Rama serves up Indo-American fusion food in a 50s-themed diner. They started the restaurant in hopes of sharing affordable vegetarian and vegan food options. Located in a strip mall they offer affordable food with gluten-free and vegan modifications to their vegetarian offerings.\u00a0Sample dishes include Masala Fries, Samosas, a variety of burgers and wraps, bowls, vegan hot dogs, falafel salad, vegan cupcakes, and more. They offer a kid’s menu too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
