Go Meatless: Vegan-Friendly Restaurants

For late-night vegan cravings, Pick Me Up comes through: head in for breakfast items, desserts, milkshakes, and more.

Great vegan dishes - the milkshakes are to die for and the buffalo wings are nice and spicy.

The Chicago-style tofu sandwich and biscuits and gravy are favorites. Great for both vegans and omnivores.

This place is a hidden gem: get meat and veggie pies at the back counter, all kinds of hummus, olives, pita, and other Mediterranean foods.

I like the spicy chicken shawarma but the spinach pie is great too.

Most dishes, like pad Thai or a variety of curries, can be made vegetarian or vegan.

A cozy spot to settle in with your laptop and have vegan baked goods.

A tiny spot in Wicker Park, Mana is a haven for anyone who wants great tasting food—not just vegan friendly treats.

Fun, creative slices like mac and cheese and crab Rangoon make this a Wrigleyville institution. Plus, there are regular vegan slices offered.

Try pizza by the slice, like the boiler room with PBR meatballs and giardiniera for $4. You can always order whole vegan pies and on Tuesdays get 'em by the slice.

A go-to spot with my vegan friends, this place is delicious no matter how much of a carnivore you are.

Tiny little spot that offers great vegan items: sushi, smoothies, soups, and more. The menu skews Mexican, and you can also find omelets and whole wheat pancakes for breakfast.

The new diner space is beautiful, and there's a full bar stocked with local, vegan and organic spirits.
