Vegetarian Options at Local Restaurants

By Kathryn Tanaka

Are you considering a vegetarian lifestyle? I am too, and I understand transitioning to a whole new diet can be challenging. Here are some dishes you can find at local restaurants I recommend starting with!

  1. Breakfast Vegetarian – LUNA Mexican Kitchen 

The Breakfast Vegetarian includes eggs, sweet potato hash (I love this stuff), avocado, and more. Despite the lack of meat-based protein, the food was delightfully fulfilling and left me satisfied. This dish was sweet, savory, and everything I could have asked for in a vegetarian meal. 

  1. Grilled Cheese – The Stand

The Stand boasts a variety of salads and a veggie burger, but the real star of the show is their mouth-watering grilled cheese sandwich. Served on a brioche bun, the sweet bread compliments the salty cheese perfectly.

  1. Butternut Squash Soup – Boudin

A quick pick-me-up, the steaming soup is perfect for the chilly wintertime. The mellow flavor of the squash goes well with the tangy cranberries, and I find myself rationing the amount of cranberries so I can enjoy the flavor with every bite. 

  1. Tempura – Tomi Sushi

Served at any Japanese restaurant, tempura is a delicious appetizer fried to a delicious crunch. While restaurants vary in what they offer, the dish usually includes yams, carrots, beans, sweet potatoes, and zucchini.
