Vegan Restaurants near Peru

“Visited for the first time this week! Absolutely loved the dishes we had! You could taste the freshness of all the veggies and the combinations were unique and delicious! Will visit again when in the area!“

“Every time we come in we are greeted by a friendly team member. Our service has been great each time. Thankful we have an olive garden so close to home for when you have those breadstick cravings 😅 everything came out promptly and was the perfect temperature. The lunch portions were the perfect size! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to her tables, making sure if we needed anything refilled. Can't wait to go again.“

“I don't know who made my food today but bravo it was delicious“

“Went to dinner at Uptown last week with a couple of friends, and everything was great as always! The restaurant was pretty busy for a Tuesday night, but we were seated right away without a reservation. Our server, Tracy H, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Uptown is definitely one of the best restaurants in the Illinois Valley. The food is always consistent, and the service is excellent no matter how busy they are. Whether you're visiting or new to the area, Uptown is a must-try. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I stopped here for lunch on a long road trip. Had a very good experience with the owners/staff, very polite and committed to customer welfare. Unfortunately they do serve meat and dairy, but there are some good Vegan options that are explicitly labelled, like their veggie burger, so I'd recommend visiting them. The interior is very well decorated and unique too, they have a cool 'cubby hole' table that's very cozy.“

“Arrived around two o’clock on a Monday afternoon. It was a warm and beautiful fall day so we chose to sit outside. It was busier than normal for a Monday, but we weren’t in a hurry anyway. The wait staff worked hard. I ordered the breaded pork tenderloin. My wife ordered the chicken strips. Each entree came with fries. Mine came with lettuce, onion, tomato slice, and pickles. Unfortunately, there were so many french fries that most of the onion, the slice of tomato, and the pickles were all buried, as you can see in the photo. I didn’t even realize they were there until I had eaten some of the fries. The fries were kind of bland, there was no seasoning on them at all. The breaded pork tenderloin was delicious and quite large. The chicken tenders entree was more than enough for my wife, so we brought it home along with half of the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. Bottom line, I would eat there again, but I only gave it four stars because the french fries covered up the toppings for my sandwich. Attention to detail people!“

“My partner and I went here on Saturday night and were looking forward to the buffet and make your own stir-fry. Upon entering the restaurant, we noticed that the buffet side and stir-fry options were not open and we then decided to dine in and eat off of the menu.

I had the spicy garlic beef with fried rice, a pork eggroll, and spicy wonton soup. Everything was absoultely delicious and I enjoyed everything that I had.

My partner had the Four Seasons entree with white rice and a pork eggroll. He enjoyed everything he had as well.

We also got an order of sweet and sour chicken to go for snacking and that was great as well reheated in the oven later that evening!

Overall, this place is a gem and I wish they would have more business to reopen the buffett and stir-fry stations!

We will be coming back here again for sure!

Please go out and support this local business!“
