50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Cicero

“Phenomenal.
Food is authentic Italian no photography allowed. Portions are copious amounts and tender delicious was the chicken parmesan.
Gelato is an amazing piece of art just to look at. Smooth as silk creamy. I had some pistachio and lemon cello.
Even the customers are kind and courteous. I'm not in that area very often at all. But if I were, I'd go back in there!“

“Tried the express menu last weekend for the first time and was NOT disappointed. Vegan birria tacos (made with perfectly seasoned mushrooms) were excellent, though I have to admit the consomé wasn't, unfortunately. But the vegan soul plate was all good. The fried hearts of palm were tasty and crunchy, the mac and cheese was creamy and not too heavy, the sweet potatoes were Thanksgiving-y, and the greens did their job. And the hibiscus and ginger tea I ordered was delicious! I just wish it was less than a 40-minute drive for me, but what can you do?“

“Great food nice waiters n pretty place n clean 😊“

“Came here for late night tacos on a Friday night and was shocked that they served fresh HOMEMADE horchata….. you know how much of a PITA that is to make and how much easier it is to just make it from a pre-made bag like everywhere else?! I’m shocked to find in the first place much less at 2am on a Friday night. The salsas were amazing as well, and had a quesadilla with carne asada and tortillas were handmade as well. Was super shocked and pleasantly surprised esp since it’s 2AM!!

Was seeking a random taqueria that was open at 2am on the weekend and found a hidden gem. Will definitely be back.“

“Incredible experience everytime. 2nd birthday and one anniversary celebrated here. The service is phenomenal with how welcoming, attentive and intentional they are.

The food is incredible as always. It is one of the most fine dining meals I've ever had quite honestly with flavor, ingredients, presentation and creativity.

I love this place.“

“I was excited to try this place because it was walkable from my hotel and I was very impressed!! The food was amazing and it had a nice atmosphere. I had the Bang bang broccoli and the Volcano roll. Lots of great options. I highly recommend this place. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-02“

“My favorite restaurant in the world. Seriously. Hands down. When I go to Chicago, I am making reservations at the Purple Pig for at least two of the nights. Bone marrow and pig ears are a must. But you can’t go wrong. Did I mention it’s my favorite?“

“Marcos and Sofia were awesome. They both deserve raises! Welcomed me as the first guest of the day with smiles and chatted with great service & kuddos to the chef, my pizza was amazing!!!!! Absolutly will come back when I am in Chicago again! Fun atmosphere and YUMMMM!!!!!!“

“My Fiancé and I discovered this restaurant after watching “Somebody Feed Fill” and were inspired and intrigued by Sarah’s restaurant and craftsmanship. We had our eye on getting reservations here for a very long time and we ended up landing lunch reservations for my Fiancés birthday (whom is also a Chef). We just happened to be seated by the expo line near the kitchen where we saw Sarah working. From start to finish our server Rose, and Sarah made sure our experience was personalized special. Sarah even signed the cookbook we bought and menu! Everything was on point from the food to the service. I can see why it’s so hard to get a reservation here! If we could rate our experience higher we would. We greatly appreciate the hospitality and dedication that this restaurant displays!“

“I finally got a chance to check out and it did NOT disappoint. The burrito is SO good; tasty, filling, a little spicy, and truly the perfect size. The green salsa it comes with was also a really good spice level for me. I can’t wait to try more on the menu!“

“Tapsilog, tocilog, fried fish, halo halo.“

“Wonderful restaurant. Food was excellent very close to what I had in Rome. Staff very friendly and made our dining very enjoyable! Go here!!“

“OMG! We found this place on a whim, looking for GF in Oak Lawn for last minute lunch options. Stumbled upon this GEM! I am no vegan, but the flavor profile is so spot on. Casandra was so amazing, putting together a random taco tray that was so delicious! And A+++ for presentation! Thank you Abuelita Coco, we will be back :)“

“A treat for all of the senses! My introduction to The Gundis was a Sunday breakfast. What a beautiful feast was laid before me, my husband and a local friend who we were visiting. We ordered the Kurdish breakfast for two plus an order of baklawa crêpes. An array of colorful, tantalizingly-scented dishes soon filled our table. Superb savory and sweet flavors awaited our taste buds. All of us were amazed by the diverse deliciousness. The atmosphere and service were also excellent. It was truly pleasurable to indulge in a breakfast feast like no other. My only complaint is that I live too far to return often. Kudos to this Kurdish delight.“

“Great food, amazing ambiance and incredible staff. One of the nicest Chicago steakhouses I’ve been to. Highly recommend.“

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“Excellent place for healthier sweets!“

“Small business bringing vegan food options to the southwest side! The food is great, and a great place to give vegan food a try if you haven't before!“

“Foodie and gals it’s are addictive. Warning!! 💕💕💕💕“

“We love the cauliflower wings!“

“I finally got a chance to check out and it did NOT disappoint. The burrito is SO good; tasty, filling, a little spicy, and truly the perfect size. The green salsa it comes with was also a really good spice level for me. I can’t wait to try more on the menu!“

“We enjoyed everything whatever we ordered“

“Our best vegan experience in Chicago, and the least pretentious. We all ordered different bowls, each one delicious. Mine was filled with chunks of sweet potatoes, garbanzos, and avocado with lots of greens and rice. Low-key friendly service in a quiet cafe. If you're not a fan of fake meats and like fresh veggies, you too will enjoy Loving Heart.“

“Yawl have the best sauce in Chicago! it never fails my family! Happy Holidays from My Family to Yours!“

“I am late writing my review but I had to write it !! I visited provare chicago On july 8th !! From start to finish this restaurant gets 5 starts . The decor was nice and set a perfect atmosphere for a great night . We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated within 5 minutes of being there . Once seated the wait staff began their introduction's on drinks and popular menu item's. After my party ordered drinks and appetizers a gentleman came over (not sure if he was the manager) and introduce himself and made sure we were having a great experience. Appetizers were amazing!! We couldn't wait for dinner!! Our entrées we just as good if not better ! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! When we didn't think the night could get even better the entire wait staff and the gentleman that came over before stopped and recognized my friend for her birthday and brought over a birthday surprise!! I live 307 miles and this place was definitely worth the drive !!!“

“Lugar acogedor, el pulpo exquisito. Procuren ir a la hora de la apertura (4 p.m. ) a esa hora es menos concurrido lo que permite que la atención sea aún más espectacular.“

“We came in for our 8:30 reservation and were seated right behind a large structure, which completely blocked our view of the show ( baila habibi). It was frustrating because there were clearly other open tables, but we were told those were reserved for a private party. Throughout the night, we never actually saw any private party happening, so that explanation didn't really hold up. The atmosphere itself was fun, with good music and a lively vibe, but the show was just okay—and honestly hard to enjoy when we had to stand up and walk away from our table just to see anything. Service was where things really fell apart. It took about 45 minutes before we even got menus or water. Our waiter seemed to be covering a huge section alone, but he walked by us multiple times without acknowledging us until we flagged him down. Drinks were inconsistent each time, and overall he felt very inexperienced. That could be forgivable, but the situation got worse—he actually left his shift before the night was over without handing our table off to anyone. We ended up waiting another hour just trying to find someone—anyone—to help us pay our tab. As for the food, the flavors were good, but kebabs came out a bit dry and didn't come with sauces unless we specifically asked for them. The appetizer platter was excellent and very authentic tasting. Overall, the place has potential because the vibe is there, but between the poor seating, disorganized service, and lack of basic attention to guests, the experience ended up being more frustrating than enjoyable.“

“Gilt Bar "gets it". A foodies playground. Top notch flavor and beautiful decor throughout. The Ron Zacapa 23 Rum is 🤌🏾 Oh, and don't forget to take a few pics in the photo booth downstairs 📸“

“I loved this place we went to for breakfast. I especially want to give a separate shout-out to the waiter Furkan. His smiling face, attentiveness, and positive energy warm you up the moment you walk in. He brought the orders quickly and completely, and he kept checking on the table without ever being intrusive. It’s clear that he truly enjoys his job.

The venue itself is both clean and very spacious. The breakfast items are fresh, the presentation is careful, and the flavors are perfectly on point. With hot tea, freshly baked bread, and a rich Turkish breakfast spread, you start the day in the best way.

I definitely recommend it in terms of both taste and service. We need more employees and businesses like this 👏“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“Amazing time! Danny was my server! He is the best very attentive very helpful. the hostess was great also and sweet“

“Very please with the service we received. We were sat at a hidden table not much attention but nick our server was very friendly and excellent service from much appreciated“

“Beautiful food and wine. Great atmosphere. Staff that were attentive without being overbearing. Michelin stars. And a 5m walk from the apartment. This could become an expensive habit!“

“My favorite place to get take-out food of any kind in all of Chicago. For real for real. I've been going here regularly since 2008. Still as delicious as ever, and still economically priced in these tough times when the price of everything seems out of control. I wish them all the best now and in the years to come. A customer for life!“

“Fantastic from start to finish.“

“The pasta was incredible!!!! Alfonso was our server and he was fantastic and really good at helping us out when we couldn’t figure out what to order!“

“"This is my new favorite thing." -Dr. A. Haller“

“I stopped by earlier because I saw a picture of Dr. Sebi on the window and it caught my attention because Dr. Sebi really inspired me to loose weight and eat alkaline things instead of all that junk food i use to eat and the moment i came in this place i felt a great vibe and it smell great i had a mushroom coffee and some alkiline water and it was delicious i will continue to go back and try other things they have a lot of alkaline things that are good for the body and the owner and the rest of the crew in there are so friendly.“

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience“

“The Breakfast House was such a great addition to the neighborhood, and you can tell with how busy it gets on the weekends. I live right down the street on Dakin and brought my Mom here when she visited.

I got the Grilled Cheese Sourdough and it was fantastic. It was a take on a grilled cheese “breakfast style” with scrambled eggs and bacon with a side of honey mustard for dipping. My Mom got some fruit parfait and really enjoyed it.

Service and atmosphere is great. You can sit inside when it’s cold and they have outdoor seating when it’s nicer out.“

“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“
