50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Glencoe

“Excellent food , service and atmosphere at reasonable prices , lots of choices on menu and and large selection of pastries and cakes which you can take home .“

“This was my first time in Glencoe to watch a show at Writer’s Theater, and I stopped by this place for a meal before the show. It seems to be the only Chinese restaurant in the entire town and also one of the few places both open at night and relatively affordable.

My friend and I ordered the Walnut Shrimp Special and Sauteed Green Beans. We were told it would take 30 minutes, so we sat inside to wait, and the food came out right on time and piping hot. You can’t dine in the restaurant though, as they don’t have a dining license.

9 times out of 10, Chinese takeout will always hit for me, and Shanghai Garden was no exception. The green beans were flavorful and well-sauteed. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture, tangy taste, and also came with broccoli and crispy noodle pieces.

The portions are large for the price and they also included a large box of rice with our order. For just $15 per person, we had a good amount of leftovers. Overall great value, tasty food, generous portions, friendly service— I would love to return if I’m in the area again!

“Always a wonderful meal at Meg’s. Food, service, ambience, staff....all are outstanding!!!! A true treasure in Glencoe!!!“

“Great food and a great atmosphere!“

“great fried chicken. very friendly owners. would definitely recommend“

“Would you like to be welcomed with refreshing cafe drinks and cocktails? Offered the choice to sit outdoors in the bustle of local business on a warm breezy evening? How about a menu of vegetarian and vegan dishes that consistently “bats 1000”? You can't pick something that isn't thoughtfully crafted to be wonderful. Everything here is excellent, including the service and they've been at it for decades. Blind Faith in Evanston. Just go.“

“I've been to the Lazy Dog a few times now and the food has been very good. The drinks quite good as well. In fact, has the Tequila Old fashioned tonight ad it was was amazing, truly one of the best. Maddy was our server this evening and she was was exceptional. Super attentive, friendly, and knew all the items very well, Maddy was great!!“

“Good food , good gem and good friends…..?“

“The flavors were great in general. However, the salsa was essentially tomato sauce and a big disappointment. The guacamole needed some garlic or green onion or salt. The only other problem was the salad had very little (if any) dressing. The tacos and the special quesadillas were great. Service was good. Overall, good enough that we will be back.“

“Wow. Get the ham and crab jian bing. It is outstanding. All the textures in one bite. Tender, crunchy, chewy, warm. Total mouthful. The veg is fresh, not droopy. It's made to order and ready fast. If you have to eat and go, they even give you a disposable glove. Fantastic.“

“My wife and I stopped into this place on a whim today while in Evanston. We weren't sure what to get, but our server was so helpful in asking what kinds of things we liked and recommending some options he thought we might enjoy. My wife ended up getting the avocado toast (she loved it), and on Trevor's recommendation I tried the Shakshuka. Wow, what flavors! Thanks Trevor for nudging me outside my comfort zone to find my new favorite!! We will definitely be back!“

“I love this place I've been coming here since I was 17. I raised my sons here as I am 45 and still come here. fantastic.“

“I travel to the area for work and always love coming here! ♥️♥️“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“Had the bodega breakfast sando after a long bike ride. The brioche was nothing short of perfect and the whole thing was delicious. Definitely coming back multiple times. Staff was super friendly. and the place has a good atmosphere. This is one of those places that you're surprised it isn't packed.“

“Their Kabuli Pulau is so good! The most tender and flavorful lamb leg in the chicago area. And their rice! Moist and perfectly seasoned.
Better than Kabobi, better than Kabul.
Service is good and they are attentive.
Atmosphere is calm, nice vibes to enjoy their cardamom tea after your meal.

Lamb kabob, beef shami, and chicken shami also delicious.“

“this place was great the service and the food 👌“

“Great dinner, service and atmosphere!“

“OH! Are you in for a TREAT when you dine here. The food is sensational. We have traveled all of the world and lived all over the United States. The cuisine here is unique and out of this world. The recipes are unique to this restaurant. We have eaten at other Ethiopian restaurants. They do not even register next to this one. The Proprietor is SOOOOO nice. And, ask him what brought him to the United States. It's an emotionally moving story. If you haven't had Ethiopian cuisine before, it is NOT scary. There are hardy vegetarian and meatatarian dishes. So, there's something for everyone. And, the dishes that are spicy are mild. So, don't worry about your sensitive belly. The meal is a SHARED experience. So, make sure you bring friends. They will thank you afterwards for sure☺“

“First time in 10 years since I haven’t had Dennys in general. As my return. Good customer service, staff are pleasant, The Triple Burger is delicious. Highland Park is very safe and I will be coming back!“

“LOVE Smack Dab!! I live in RP and walking to Smack Dab always makes my day. The coffee is amazing. The vibes are so cute and so are the folks that work there. Recommend 100/10.“

“We're from out of town and stopped in for dinner after visiting a nearby museum and our pizza was delicious. The staff is extremely friendly and took excellent care of us. Cannoli we're great as well. We're over an hour away, but we will be back!“

“Exactly what you expect from a French brasserie. Excellent food, wine and service. Love.“

“An intimate space, but the entrées and desserts were excellent and the service was pleasant and efficient. A modest, but reasonable wine list.“

“Muy bueno muy limpio mucha amabilidad del personal ricos desayunos“

“Free Valet to start our experience here was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated. Hostess was very friendly, and our server Jose was thorough and had such a positive energy. Everyone chips in to help keep the table clean, waters refilled, etc. We truly had an amazing experience and would recommend to anyone looking for an Italian gem!“

“This place was amazing! Tucked away just around the corner off Morse, this little kitchen serves large bowls of the best bulgogi and bibimbop I've had since I was in Seoul.

The chef took the time to check in on all diners, and his staff have been courteous every time I visit. Very thankful to have them so close to home! 사람이다!“

“This was recommended by someone so we took the opportunity to stop in for dinner.

THe staff were friendly and helpful, the food was very good, and the atmosphere is fun.

Overall a good dining experience which I'm sure I'll frequent again. The only downside is the location because parking can be somewhat of a challenge.“

“This place is great. Good food. Well priced. Attentive and friendly staff. My wife and I drive like 25 mins out of our way just to come here. It's getting harder these days to find restaurants that haven't excessively increased prices while lowering the overall quality of their food. Definitely worth the visit for great Mediterranean.“

“Great place for masala tea and chaat.“

“First time at Lola’s, first off holy cow they were busy however the staff did an amazing job! The service was on point taking into consideration that they were slammed the whole time we were there. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a good dining experience.“

“One word describes Spirit Elephant… OUTSTANDING! We travel close to an hour and a half to enjoy the best vegan food options for our daughter’s special occasions! My only suggestion- open a second location closer to Yorkville! 😉“

“The food was great and the service excellent. Don’t judge this place by the outside it is very nice inside. Check it out for yourself your will glad you did.“

“The service is outstanding. The food is delicious.“

“Had lunch there today and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed with the service. The food was excellent but that's it. Asked for 2nd drink and never got it. Water was never refilled until we were through eating. When first ordering our wine we had problems. I will continue to eat here and hopefully this is a one time occurrence.“

“I really like this place! I had the Tantanmen ramen and chicken karaage and both were bomb. Great service too. We were seated quickly and our food came out in under 10 mins. 5/5 stars in my book!“

“The food is incredible! The owners know how to treat their customers. So professional and caring I am hooked!! Everyone must visit this restaurant I highly recommend it!!“

“Fresh and delicious attention to detail. Just had a deep dish pizza with red onion and yellow peppers. Perfect balance of flavors.“

“Най готиното Българско заведение в Чикаго вече без конкуренция даже.Има и други места по Чикаго ама ги развалиха…не стават“

“The food was so phenomenal. Very well seasoned, cooked to perfection ?. So happy we decided to have our breakfast here. We got the egg skillet made to our liking. Thank you so much "Sandy's" daughter and family for continuing to open your doors for us to eat this delicious food. And as the slogan says that hanging in the diner, "it's all good." It really is!!! You must come here to eat.“

“We loved our pistachio cold brew lattes-the best and best price! Especially Jose who was an amazing server! We will come back!!“

“Food was excellent as always and our server Moses made it extra special. Always one of my favorites!“

“Service and food all outstanding. I will be going back.“

“I usually remember to take photos of the dishes before we dig in, but everything looked so yummy this time that I completely forgot to snap a photo beforehand. That said, I hope this photo does justice to how delicious the food was.

The dolsot bibimbap arrived perfectly sizzling in its pot and the bossam was cooked very well. Their stews and kimchi jeon are equally tasty! The atmosphere is lovely—personal, clean, and perfect for good conversation. The staff are wonderfully kind, too.

As a Korean, I often miss certain dishes that are hard to recreate at home. I haven’t found many places in Chicago that nail it like this, but Tang certainly does. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant if you’re looking for yummy Korean food :)“

“Always on point wood the good eats“

“We had such a fun and wonderful experience! I came in with my friends for a quick glance cs they said the place looked pretty. The meals were top-notch and the staff were so caring towards your comfort and preferences! I got the Kids French Toast after meal as a treat for myself, and I almost ascended from the sweetness! It was just that good 😍👌 I wish I took a whole pic of my friends meals too cs theirs looked so presentable and delicious 🤤 Over all, the place was so aesthetically pleasing and the decorations were adorable! I wish we had arrived at a less busy time, but we will definitely come early next time for the best experience!“
