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.“

“Stopped here for lunch one day when I was near NW and had a great experience. The food (ham and cheese sandwich) and cream of mushroom soup were excellent. Service was attentive and helpful. They have a great selection of wine and you can buy and consume with your meal. Will definitely be back!“

“This is a great spot for quick and convenient sushi takeout. While there isn’t indoor seating, the quality of the food makes it well worth the visit. The sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared quickly, making it perfect for grabbing lunch or dinner on the go.“

“Wow!!! What a treat. The CYO bowls are my way to go because they let you decide exactly what you were going to get. If you don't want to go to the create your own route they have eight signature bowls that you can choose from. They also have a Bento Box that you can choose from or create on your own as well. For kids they offer a kids box for $11 which offers chicken beef tofu all Teriyaki style orange style or tempura. They have a ton of different sides from sushi rice to house salads to edamame to gyoza. What I really like so is the sunset cup, as it's a half a bowl with all the fixings at half the price.

This place is very solid and the prices are on point as the servings are enormous...

Plus the fact that you get free parking right outside and makes it a very easy option for lunch or dinner.“

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

“The greeter seemed to not wanna be there, possibly from the attitude of the other staff, while she was trying to get us setup another dude jumped in and interrupted and took over. Figure out who does what.
I also found some bogus transaction on my card from this day, and the only time anyone ever took my card from me was from this restaurant I ended up with an uber charge but I DRIVE MY OWN CAR! this is the only time I had anyone else touch my card this day so is someone back there taking card information? has anyone else experienced this from this place? check your transaction history if this is a trend its gonna be a problem, if not perhaps a different vendor is doing it, eitherway its unproven yet so it doesnt affect my rating, if someone does get a bogus charge after going here, can you post it on a review so we can see a pattern.“

“A little bit of an Oasis in this area, were people come to feel a little bit at home at the same time. Away from home.
The quality of food is superior than most other places that you can get without necessarily going into. I like a 3 star restaurant or more.“

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

“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!“

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

“Great staff, absolutely delicious food in a warm welcoming atmosphere. can't recommend them enough.“

“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!“

“Lovely spot with attentive service. The lamb over the eggplant puree is sublime. Loved the zucchini fritters. Would have preferred if the fish was whole rather than a filet and if they were going to leave the skin on, to prepare it crispy and served skin side up so I'd doesn't sit in the sauce where it will get soggy. But everything was delicious and all the servers and bussera were great!“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“best falafel and lentil soup i had in chicago by far. cheap, fast, and rly yum. i can't have the pita bread that comes with the soup so they throw me an extra falafel everytime. great place & P.S. its cash only! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-18“

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

“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!“

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

“The food, drinks, service and recommendations were excellent. We were celebrating a birthday, and everything from the Oaxacan tlayuda to the Cornish hen with mole and the margaritas made with mezcal from the owners’ hometown in Oaxaca made for a great meal.“

“Jo Jo and the staff are what keeps us coming back a not to mention all the vegan goodies on the menu. The corn chowder is phenomenal and we love the ube buns!!!“

“Stopped by for dinner before heading out for the night and grabbed one of Dimo’s creative slices plus an order of fries. The pizza had a really good balance of crispy and chewy, and the toppings didn’t feel skimpy. The vibe was casual and very Wrigleyville, which fit the night perfectly. Service was quick and easy, too.“

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

“Celebrated my wife’s birthday here with three other families, as we were in Chicago between baseball tournaments. Not only was Coda di Volpe able to accommodate a same day reservation for a large party, but they went above and beyond, from personalizing menus with a birthday wish, to adding a special touch on dessert. With four teenage boys in tow, the menu provided ample carbs and comfort for them while we enjoyed a broad sample of the offerings - all were very happy with their meals! Cocktails and wine selection was also on the mark. Kudos to Jeremy and his staff. We came all dressed in white and he told us he knew he wanted to do something special for our party… they knocked it out of the park! Looking forward to coming back to Chicago and making a beeline for this restaurant… a no-brainer.“

“good food and good service“

“How could a bar cure my aversion to celery?!? I’m not sure, but it happened. I met a friend here, and after a fun couple of hours sampling the epic novel of a beer list, we went for the moule frites. I was mainly interested in the frites, especially when I saw the celery on the mussels. But I did try them, and their broth. The broth!! It was otherworldly. After a few bites, I realized the magic ingredient had to be the celery. And the rosemary, thyme, onion, and probably a beer brewed by the Belgian monks. Go here, people.“

“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.“

“I recently was visiting Chicago and as a habit, I searched for Best Gluten Free bakery and discovered Defloured. What an amazing place. As a Celiac, finding good GF baked goods is rare to find. Wow what a selection. I purchased a chocolate cupcake, two love pucks, cinnamon rolls, poppy lemon bread, baguette, and aNutella sandwich cookie. Everything was really delicious. I mean world class quality. I now plan on making regular visits to Chicago so I can load up and fill my freezer with possibly the best GF baked goods in the U.S. I’ve tried a lot.“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“I highly recommend this place if you love ramen as much as I do! The food quality and taste were incredible. I started with unsweetened oolong tea and takoyaki, followed by Goku Tonkotsu ramen, I chose the non-spicy option, and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I would give this place a Michelin star if I could! 🍜✨“

“Family friendly restaurant with food choices for everyone but the made fresh pasta was the best part!“

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

“We waited fifteen minutes for a table, just for another group of the exact same size to show up and be immediately sat before us. We didn’t say anything cause it was busy, and we were waiting right outside (which we were told is okay), so they probably forgot we were there. Just something to keep in mind if you visit during a rush ;)

Other than that, the pho seriously lives up to its hype. It was worth the wait. Everyone at the table agreed, and I was with some folks who know good pho cause they live near Little Saigon in CA. The flavors were balanced, it was more savory than sweet which I enjoy.

I also had a lemon soda for the first time here and it was pretty good; very sweet and sour.“

“The food here is really satisfying. I took some non vegans here and they seemed to enjoy it was well! We got some milkshakes, which were really good. We tried to wings. I wish they were a little smaller, but still good. My sandwich was the best I really loved it. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-23“

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

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

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

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“If I say one thing it's "I don't go to restaurants for healthy food" which is usually true, but Loving Heart is definitely health forward but still surprisingly delicious. The mango smoothie is super creamy and the Buddha bowl is nice, I like the addition of the apples which I did not think I would say but it works surprisingly well. If you're watching your health but still wanna go out to eat, I'd pick Loving Heart.“

“Great visit and good tasty food“

“Stopped in for lunch. The salads were excellent, gumbo delicious, and the corn bread is out-if-this-world amazing!“

“I've dined here multiple times within the past two years and not only is the food extremely delicious but the staff here is upbeat, friendly and always delivers a five star attentive service to whomever dines in here.

You simply walk up to a computer screen where you can choose from a list of soup, appetizers, main courses like bimbap, bulgogi beef, scallion pancakes and other traditional Korean dishes.

I usually order a simple soup that's extra spicy with assorted vegetables, rice cakes and an egg. You can add extra vegetables, cheese or an extra egg to your order too.

The chefs were quite busy this evening with tons of pick up take out orders but I personally prefer dining in here and you also get an opportunity to watch the chefs cooking in the kitchen.

This evening one of the chefs pointed out assorted delicious sides at the counter that I had never noticed before. Basically you can help yourself to as many sides as you'd like before your meal arrives and they were extremely tasty.

Definitely a fun time and I love spicy Korean cuisine when its prepared with love.“

“The food, atmosphere, and the staff were amazing! We celebrated my nephews birthday there and I can't wait to go back and bring some friends!“

“After a recent experience in an establishment not to be named, the whole experience at Happy Camper was a wonderful time.
From the heated entry, prompt and friendly greeting at the host stand, it only got better.
We were quickly seated nice and close to TVs to watch some NLCS playoff baseball (unfortunately sans Cubs). Our server was right there with waters and seeing if we had any questions. She was awesome! It's obvious they are well equipped and ready to provide a great experience. Drinks were brought out super fast. I am a big fan of the 32oz Vodka Lemonade.
We had the loaded skins, chips and salsa for appetizers. The salsa was delicious and chips were on point. The loaded potato skins were absolutely delicious! Almost like a mini loaded baked potato. So good!
Then, we had a pizza that I would not order if it weren't for my daughter loving ricotta. The Nadine Pizza with pepperoni, ricotta, basil, marinara and hot honey... and i must admit the hot honey was my biggest question mark, but it made the pizza incredible!
This will be on my radar next time I'm in town for sure!“

“Beyond delicious!! First time there and can’t wait to go back!!“

“Excellent service and attention from the workers there. They knew the menu well and gave great recommendations. Food was delicious and it was Iike eating at my mommas house. The drinks were amazing and love the decor. It was like being in Puerto Rico. Will visit again“

“We discovered this wonderful restaurant through a search for something unique with great food. The result didn’t disappoint. We had four different shared plates (all their suggestions) that were all spot-on delicious. Just outstanding. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was top notch. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in the Chicago area. Highly recommend!“

“Fabulous food! Pleasant surroundings, and friendly staff.“

“Went there while back home visiting family and ABSOLUTELY LOOOOVVEEDD the food, atmosphere and service!“

“A must try spot! Great food, coffee and atmosphere! Definitely recommend!“
