50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Glencoe

“Will absolutely be back!

The Branzino is amazing, the steak was amazing, the dessert (Lemon Cake) was amazing.

We are picky about our places and we will absolutely be back. Julie was awesome and had great suggestions.

My only regret was we forgot to order the crab cakes for an appetizer.“

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

“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!

“Great food and a great atmosphere!“

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

“Our server was very helpful in guiding us through our choices for our main course. All 4 of us were very pleased with our food. All the plates were hot, meaning that they weren't sitting around waiting to be delivered.. We all agreed that our orders were extremely tasty. The servings were very generous as well. For appetizers, we all had the bean soup, which was a great start. As it was a birthday celebration, we ordered additional pastries and shared them, they were 5 star as well. It was a perfect evening and wonderful vegan and vegetarian food,“

“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!!“

“This brings me back to the hutongs of Beijing! Monkey King Jianbing is worth the drive up to Skokie! Every Jianbing I’ve had is delicious, with the right balance of spice. They also added Shou zhua bings, think Chinese taco, which are amazing as well! I love this place!“

“Someone did an adorable job decorating the space, the food was delicious, but the service could use some fine tuning. We had chips/salsa and elotes for the table, and we all loved the salsa. The fresh chips were delicious. Everyone's got their own take, and the elotes were also good, but another slice of lime would have been a great addition to the plate. A breakfast burrito, with steak, one red and one green chilaquiles later, and we all liked our brunch.“

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

“SBK is everything… the pastries and cookies are so delicious, always a decadent treat. The savory sandwiches, so flavorful with house made sauces in the mix. Weekends start off right with an SBK pizza on a Friday night. I’ve been coming here for years. During Covid, SBK became my local grocery store. One of my favorite establishments in Chicago, I will always be a fan.“

“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 had to order quite a bit of  food for a lunch for my family and I before we were supposed to be going to a wedding. We stayed at a hotel nearby and knew that we would not eat dinner until much later and needed something to hold us over. This place was the perfect option.
Not only was I able to get the prices over the phone, the people who work here texted me pictures of food, sent prices and confirmed sizes with me and gave recommendations about how much to get for how many people, including telling me how long before I needed to order to make sure I got my order ready in time for pick up since I was ordering in advance.
The Afghani palaou was fantastic, as was the garlic and spicy green sauce.
I especially loved the mix kabobs and I wish they had this option at all afghan/ pakistani places. The option to get a mix tray of kabobs with the pieces cut up would be a game changer for parties!
I ordered a small tray of salad thinking not many people would like it (but I like salad so I figured I would have leftovers for later), but to my surprise that was gobbled up quick! Everyone loved it. I'm a fan of this place and plan on dining in when I come next!“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“We were so impressed with this place! We were craving Korean food and felt so glad to have stumbled upon this authentic restaurant in Niles/Morton Grove.

Everything looked so good on the menu that we ended up over ordering with 4 dishes for 3 people: Jokbal (boiled pig trotters), Seafood Pajeon, Gopchang Jeongul (beef intestine spicy stew) and fried chicken wings. The platters looked just like the menu pictures, and everything was so flavorful and tasted so authentic as if it was a home cooked meal. We definitely could've just ordered the pajeon and jokbal and we would have been stuffed.

Jokball was tender and fresh, nicely thin slices. The seafood pancake by itself was great, crispy on the edges with the right amount of mixed seafood (not just batter). Gopchang jeongul was the highlight to the meal - savory and not overbearing spicy. Fried chicken wings were pretty good, too. This was an amazing, cozy meal.

On top of the great meal, the hostess/owner was so accommodating and kind! She gave food explanations and checked in on us often to ensure we had everything. I cannot wait to come back to try other dishes!

“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☺“

“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!“

“This pizza is so good! I wish they were open more often“

“Great food and fantastic service! Also really helpful with diatary restrictions.“

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

“Tried it today for the first time! Very delicious, I loved the chicken mac & cheese. (Toddler approved too) The Cajun chicken sandwich is pretty good! I expected it would be spicy but sadly it wasn’t 🥲 Still was a great sandwich though! The cornbread muffins are amazingggg

Kid-friendliness: They have kid menus that come with crayons 🖍️“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“Visiting from out of town and this place came up when searching for brunch nearby. Hostess was very welcoming and attentive. Ordered the salmon sandwich and grilled avocado sandwich as well as the kale smoothie. Everything was delicious. Really glad we got to try this place.“

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

“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!“

“Always on point wood the good eats“

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

“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.“

“Delicious and reasonable sushi. We order for takeout and it is always freshly prepared.“

“Great food! fast service for carryout!“

“Very Delicious and Tasty 😋“

“Great place to hangout and good sushi“

“Ordered carry-out from the Vernon Hills location and loved it! Fantastic quality ramen, flavorful broth and still hot after getting it home. Miso Ramen and Taiwan Ramen are fantastic, but beware that single pepper icon, because it’s no joke! (And I say this as someone who grew up eating spicy food 🙂) Delicious, but intense! I would LOVE to see a milder version of the Taiwan Ramen (or at least a way to adjust the heat, like the Spicy Miso), because the flavor was truly amazing and addictive.“

“Best Pizza in Evanston. The dough, the unique ingredients. I. Am.Hooked👌“

“Habibi In is as good as it looks! The servings were so generous and everything was delicious. The falafel was my favorite dish and the best I’ve had in the Chicagoland area. The staff was so friendly and welcoming.“

“Ate there for the first time tonight. I am vegan and my husband is an Omni. Chef Bill came out and waited on us personally, and gave us menu recommendations, all of which were delicious! The ambiance was so relaxing and peaceful; it was a nice respite from a busy day and I didn’t want to leave. Reasonably priced as well: shared appetizer, two teas, two entrees, and two desserts was $60. Will definitely be back for many more dinners!“
