It's a Friday night and you and your friends are looking for a new place to try, but there is just one problem: One of your friends is vegan. So, where do you go that will satisfy everyone? These five restaurants are places to try that have a wide variety of options for both carnivores and herbivores.
1. Melt
Melt is not your standard lunch cafe. This vegan-friendly restaurant has an 80s funk mixed with a 21st century hipster vibe. Melt will satisfy any type of food preference you might have like gluten-free bread option, vegan cheese or even
substituting a meat with yummy tofu. They have many types of sandwiches and house-made soups for those typical rainy Cincinnati days. Melt has been voted Best in Cincinnati four years in a row.
2. Loving Hut
Are you in a rush going to work or school? No worries, Loving Hut has the perfect on-the-go snacks and smoothies that will start your day with good vibes. They offer a variety of vegan and non-vegan cuisine as well as mouth-watering bakery items. But that's not it. They even offer complimentary hot or iced tea for you to sip on!
3. The Green Dog Cafe
Ah, yes, The Green Dog Cafe. A Cincinnati favorite and voted Best Veggie Burger in Cincinnati. Green Dog has a variety of vegan and gluten-free options on their menu as well as options for those who are meat lovers. The GD fries are probably some of the best fries you might ever try in your lifetime (also the best hangover cure). The delicious vegan bowls are also one to order, but be prepared because they are the size of your head! I highly recommend the Chihuahua Bowl.
4. Rooted Juicery & Kitchen
5. Park + Vine
Located in the wonderful OTR, Park + Vine is always a winner. They offer great vegan sandwiches you won't find anywhere else. The Apple Cheddar Grilled Cheese is a must-try and the definition of vegan "food porn." After you scarf down this killer grilled cheese, you can shop for all the goodies Park + Vine has to offer.
