Like any city, Milwaukee is absolutely full of amazing restaurants and cafés to try (and love). However, going out to eat gets tough when you live with a restricted diet of gluten-free options, little to no meat, or even no animal by-products at all. Luckily, Milwaukee has more than a handful of spots with delicious menus and their conscious eaters in mind. Here are just a few!
1. Café Hollander
A popular spot on the Eastside located on Downer Ave, this place is a beautiful grand café with a delicious menu. Eating outside on the patio makes for a great spot to grab brunch, full of vegetarian options like the Quinoa Skillet and gluten-free options like the GF Happy Cow with grass fed beef.
2. Beerline Café
With a beautiful open concept, plants in every corner, and an entire menu comprised of vegetarian and vegan options full of protein and flavor, this place is heaven for the vegan eater. The vegan Mac and Cheese is a good place to start!
3. The Fork
Connected to Outpost Foods on Capitol (with locations all over Milwaukee County), this is a great place for anyone to grab a bite to eat no matter the diet. With an emphasis on local produce and grass-fed meats and a coffee-shop vibe, any eater will love this place’s awesome selection of GF bakery items, coffee/juice/smoothie menu, and veg. options.
4. Urban Beets
A far-out café and juicery, this spot is perfect for smoothie/juice lovers who live to get their fruits and veggies in a rich and tasty drink. and with a menu stacked full of vegan options, there is literally no better place to get a fresh and nutritious meal.
5. Fuel Café
The name says it all. A coffee shop in the heart of Riverwest with an extensive menu for all types of eaters, vegan and vegetarian included of course. So many sandwiches and lattes to try; a perfect place to get some fuel. Try the VLT!
