50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Wilmette

“I had the German pancake and with 100% recommend if you don't want a lot then order the baby Dutch you won't regret it. I asked for strawberries with mine.“

“We had a great meal of Calamari, steamed mussels, pasta dish, and a cherry tart. We ate outside on a perfect evening so what's not to like. I highly recommend for casual dining. I thought the wine prices were a little high but that was the only negative.“

“My family and I got several bowls from Koya. We loved all of the customizable toppings it offers as well as the complimentary miso soups and cookies that come with the bowls. The ingredients were fresh, and portions were pretty large. The food was very reasonably priced.“

“Excellent Ramen. Excellent bartender in Helen Try the Mango Tango Vegi Roll.“

“Always great and fresh sushi here. Keep in mind this isn't a sit-down spot and is strictly a take out place. Not much options if you were to walk in as you are required to order ahead (which can take some time ~ buffer at least 60 minutes ahead)

Parking: Somewhat difficult depending on time. The free parking lot doesn't have a lot of space.“

“Akai Hana has been in business for over 30 years, and the steady traffic means the sushi is fresh and safe, offered at a good price. However, the ambiance is lacking, with an outdated, cafeteria-like vibe and cheap-looking menus. It’s a solid spot for a quick, no-frills sushi meal, but not the place for a special dining experience.“

“Now let me tell you it’s hard to please a person like me with some quality fast food. I walked into Panera today after not eating Panera since my bro ate a piece of plastic here in 09, I can say I’m definitely coming back. I absolutely slobbered down this chargered lemonade. I also gobbled down some delicious creamy soup. Let me say if you need some energy after being on your knees all day get the charged lemonade! Everyone here is nice this is a great place! Love the creamy soup swishing in my cheeks#panera is awesome everyone come here!“

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

“the best vegan restaurant on the north side!“

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

“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!“

“Photos from ~10:30 on a Friday night: perfect late night dinner substitute
Not gonna rob you, huge single slices, open well past when you should think about going home.
**consider the mac’n’cheese pizza, will change your life!“

“Amazing breakfast spot that was a random find while in the area. Great service and really cute atmosphere. Kids meals are free with adult purchase & the portions of my son’s teddy bear pancakes were huge! Actually portions of everything is huge. The churro French toast was incredibly delicious and included as a side to my omelette…small upcharge well worth it!! If ever in the area again it will be a must to to revisit!“

“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! 😉“

“Excellent food, superb wait staff, excellent atmosphere! We had an absolutely fabulous dining experience!!“

“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.“

“I can’t comment on what I don’t know but I do know that the food is delicious and the service is wonderful! The restaurant is very cozy and clean. I recommend either location! I have never been disappointed.“

“We went last night for the first time… Great menu options, food was delicious, portions were perfect, staff was really nice. I had the Grilled Salmon, he had the Braised Pork Shoulder…definitely recommend both.“

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

“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!“

“Wonderful meal while on our van Galder day trip to a concert. Wonderful service, food and atmosphere. They even packaged up a tiramisu for our bus driver!“

“Great visit and good tasty food“

“Very tasty sundubu, delicious sides, and good service.“

“After a mishap with their online ordering system, the owner went above and beyond to make sure I still had a vegan meal for Christmas and my birthday! I live out of town but usually order every time I visit my sister in Chicago. I've never had any complaints, but I'm very grateful for this particular meal that I get to eat tomorrow. Thank you, Kitchen 17!“

“Fantastic food and service! Have been a few times, and it never disappoints!“

“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!“

“We've known about Elephant & Vine for a while and just got around to eating there. It was super yummy. The menu is limited but the food is great. I had the mammoth burger. The Elephant sauce was the star for sure. My honey had the Korean BBQ chicken sandwich which was amazing. He definitely ordered better. We also had the buffalo cauliflower wings. The sauce was great not too spicy, very smooth. The ambiance was nice, modern but welcoming. The service was also great. Our order came out quickly so the fries and tots were warm and crispy. We will be back for sure.“

“Service was spectacular, incredibly friendly staff. Please put at least a 30% option on your tip machine haha

Every element of the ramen bowl was so tasty and seemed to be given special attention. Made ya feel good in your heart and soul to eat it!

Can't wait to come back :>“

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

“Friendly atmosphere, good fast service and good food too.“

“Good location, great service and FANTASTIC FOOD! A breakfast place with a Latin twist. The chorizo hash is incredible. Simultaneously gooey, crispy, salty, savory, just heavenly. Granola dish also punches above its weight. Great discovery before heading over to Wrigley Field for a behind the scenes tour .“

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun“

“Amazing find! Worth the drive. Been wanting to find/try a vegan bakery. Had seen this store come up when searching for options. Today made the drive there. So worth it!!! Choc Chip scone is delicious; good texture, plenty of chips and excellent tasting. Also purchased cinnamon roll. After heating, just incredible! Frosting super delish, dough was great. Anxious to go back, would like to try cupcakes, empanadas and pie. Store is super cute!!! Also, the owner/manager was at an event, not at store today. However, family member there (Mom I think). What a sweet, kind, friendly professional “filler in”. Service is everything!“

“Eravamo in 4 a cena e siamo rimasti soddisfatti sia del cibo che del servizio . Il locale era pieno di gente ma la cameriera Maria ci ha serviti velocemente e in maniera simpatica e professionale. Le pizze che abbiamo mangiato sono state ottime. Ristorante consigliato.“

“I awoke this morning, filled with regret and resentment. I nearly stayed under my supple, cozy sheets. Yet, I prevailed. I stumbled upon this Elegant establishment. I needed something greasy and practical for a hangover. I also needed to watch the Minnesota gophers beat up Rutgers (do they even have a mascot)? I ordered the double smash burger, and went to work. The service was quick, very quick, which made me believe the burger would be subpar. My first bite awoke me. I was so back. Every following taste left me with childlike joy, much like a young Jack Slunecka frolicking through the South Dakota prairies. I can not recommend this establishment more. Thank you Parlay, not only for giving me strength. But, giving me the motivation to carry on, and make the world a better place. I Love you so so much.“

“It a classic French Bistro with a wonderful menu and excellent service in the heart of one of Chicago’s friendliest neighborhoods!!“

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

“good food and good service“

“Cashew Nuts Combo was amazing!! Large portions and the soy chicken recipe is alarmingly good. Highly recommend 🥰“

“Absolutely Wonderful Puerto Rican Dining Experience! This restaurant offers a beautiful ambiance that perfectly complements its creative, fresh, and incredibly delicious food. The portion sizes are generous, and the staff is warm and welcoming. I especially appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of vegan and vegetarian options. The Arroz Con Gandules is a standout—rich in flavor and an absolute must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“It's wild that food this good can be this cheap. Dollar-for-dollar it is one of the best places to eat in the city. Also a great spot to grab hummus or babaganoush - the babaganoush is legit extraordinary - to go and eat at home. Cash only, not a lot of seating.“

“we came here because of tiktok and went to the field museum afterwards!

i have a very low tolerance and hardly ever indulge (due to not liking how anxious id get). a huge thank you to the super kind employee that not only educated us on delta 8 but also recommended i add cbd to my lemonade—it gave me a much better experience! definitely plan on coming back! ✌️“

“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!“

“Mensch’s is outstanding. Great atmosphere, excellent food, always good service.
Try the Big Macher or Pastrami Reuben if you like Pastrami. The Veggie Bagel and the Matzo Ball Soup are terrific! Sweet tooth: Chocolate Babka 😍
100% recommend to stop by for take our or dine in!! Worth the wait.“

“Wonderful staff and amazing food. I’ll definitely be back! 🌱“

“I can’t stop thinking about the Pork Milanese at Chilim Balam. Hands down one of the top 5 dishes I’ve ever had.

It was the perfect combo of savory, crunchy, and fresh. The pork was rich and flavorful, and then you get these bright hits of strawberry, cucumber, and herbs that just make the whole thing pop. Such a perfect summer dish!“

“Amazing food, great hosts and amazing service!!“

“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.“

“Khepri duo Salad was delicious“
