50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Evanston

“Amazing food and drinks every time I’ve gone. The mezcal tamarind is my favorite mezcal cocktail, so flavorful. The vegan pescado taco is now my favorite menu item (right after the mezcal tamarind) The vegan and vegetarian options are amazing. So often those options are an after thought on a menu, but here, those dishes are their own unique creations, making them very special options. Paired with super friendly staff and an amazing display of art, I’d recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for tasty, high end and flavorful Mexican food.“

“My family of four loved our meals! My Thai bowl was super tasty! Fast and friendly service too.“

“Tapas is definitely a 10/10! From the amazing service to the food & drinks! Great family friendly environment. We booked last minute reservations for a small gathering to celebrate my dad's birthday. Everything went well, even with it being so last minute! The Seafood Paella, Drinks, All the TAPAS, & wow the Biscocho borracho!“

“I have been a patient at a re hab center nearby for 3 weeks.Tempting me with different foods so I would eat better, she brought me a half of a turkey sandwich and supposedly a cup of vegetable soup.

I think the soup was a pint, it was fabulous, all veggies were cooked perfectly. When she pulled out the turkey sandwich without unwrapping it I thought by the Wieght I thought she got me a full one. I don't know how they make money. She was bringing them almost every day. I'm leaving here tomorrow and am really going to miss their food. I wish they really had one by where I live.“

“oh my gosh, Hewn is so cool – – such inventive and hearty and wholesome and beautiful flavor combinations – – I especially love what they do with fruit and nuts. I’m not surprised at all that their holiday special offerings sell out so quickly – – This is a special kind of bakery – – not too refined as to only have the sweetest and most delicate of desserts – – but more of a chefs kind of place – – you know the ingredients are going to be the finest out there. My only quibble is the inflexibility with the vegetarian sandwiches in their refrigerator – – the staff would not make me a fresh sandwich. But this is a minor quibble. I really do recommend them without reservation.“

“Great dinner, service and atmosphere!“

“Not the best dog or polish in Chicago, but definitely in the top ten. This from someone who has been shoving them into his face for over sixty-five years. I've been to 'em all on the north side - Lerner's, the Ranch,' the Pit, Sammy Skobel's, Wolfy's, Fluky's, Dear Franks', Michaels, Stashes, Mutt and Jeff's, Shmendels, and all of the Irvings. ALL of them. Little Island stands right up there. What they do have that is the best in Cook County are their fries. Best ever. They don't travel well, so have them there. Grilled polish is outstanding. And NEVER, EVER, EVER order a dog or a Polishj with anything red - ketchup OR tomato. Two stars for atmosphere - if that's important to you, go to Portillo's.“

“I got 2 farmhouse beef burgers and 1 chicken burger that had spicy honey in it. I loved the food. There was some misunderstanding in the packing of order. I came back and they corrected it right away. Also gave me $5 coupon for future. And when I mentioned i was fasting, they offered me a cookie too.“

“First time here, will definitely return!!“

“The best sushi spot in Evanston. They flew in a 200 lb tuna from Japan.“

“We love Le Peep! It is a chain but feels like a nice, local hometown spot. Good food and nice portions. All of the staff are lovely and food comes out super fast!

Thanks especially to Hector who is a great server, though they're all great. We will (per usual) be back!“

“Foods are delicious, staffing friendly and great services“

“Good, service, atmosphere! Just the best!“

“I came on opening weekend, the staff was exteemely friendly and the Ice cream was AMAZING! I was surprised by the large flavor selection and the dairy free offerings. My favorite flavor is mint chocolate chip, they offered it in both dairy free and regular! I personally love the cute waffle cookie that came with my dish. This will be a regular spot for me and my family!“

“If you are looking for authentic and truly delicious Korean comfort food, Soban Korea is an absolutely fantastic choice. The menu offers a great variety of traditional dishes, and everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh. I highly recommend trying their dolsot bibimbap or the beef bulgogi; the meats are marinated perfectly, very tender, and packed with savory flavor. The complimentary banchan (small side dishes) are also generous, diverse, and a wonderful addition to the main meal. The atmosphere inside is casual, clean, and welcoming, while the staff is exceptionally attentive and quick to refill drinks and sides without even having to ask. It is a consistently great spot for a satisfying and flavorful dining experience. I will definitely be returning!“

“ALWAYS delicious food, courteous staff!! 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽“

“I just had one of the best sandwiches for lunch and I’m still thinking about it 🤤🥪! I ordered the Paneer Fig, and it was absolutely incredible - such a perfect mix of flavors, sweet and savory done just right 🍯🧀🔥. Every bite was delicious and really stood out from your typical sandwich options 😍👌.

The experience was even better thanks to the two people working behind the counter. They were so kind, friendly, and welcoming, which made the visit feel even more enjoyable 😊💛. It’s always nice when great food comes with great service 🙌✨.

This spot definitely left a great impression on me, and I already know I’ll be coming back again soon 💯🎉. Highly recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for something unique and super tasty!“

“Great corner for watching Evanston go by.“

“I had a lovely experience at Mid Kitchen. The shakshuka was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The avocado eggs benedict was also amazing—fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented.

Everything tasted high quality and satisfying. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was friendly. I would definitely come back!“

“As I indulged in the delightful pasta with pesto at Sargent Dining Hall, a wave of enlightenment swept over me. With each flavorful bite, I realized the profound joy that can be found in life's simplest pleasures. In that moment, surrounded by the warmth of good company and the harmony of flavors, I made a promise to myself. I vowed to approach every aspect of life with the same appreciation and zest, knowing that even in the mundane, there is beauty to be found and cherished.“

“Our server was Trey!! I had the smash burger and a margarita! Everything was so delicious! I recommend this place to anyone! It is a Mexican spot so getting a burger was sorta strange but once I read the beef was mixed with Chorizo I was sold and just had to try it. It didn’t disappoint. The Guacamole/ salsa and chips were as very tasty! A must try“
