Baba Yega Restaurant

$$ | Montrose

An excellent choice for vegetarian cuisine, this eclectic bungalow in the Montrose neighborhood serves an avocado-and-mushroom-topped veggie burger plate that has been popular since 1975. Named after a Slavic witch, Baba Yega offers an award-winning weekend brunch, and full bar as well. Enjoy people-watching out front under the shade of a century-old oak tree, or dine on the covered patio before a waterfall and herb garden.

Bouldin Creek Cafe

$ | South Austin

A vegetarian-only restaurant might sound bland at first, but even local carnivores frequent this hip South First neighborhood café, home to some of the best meat-free dishes in the city. Friendly servers can help newcomers navigate the rich bevy of vegan and gluten-free options, whether it’s a maple latte and plate of zucchini migas, a tofu and broccoli salad, or a draft beer to pair with their fajitas Italianas, made with roasted portobello and zucchini strips and chipotle pecan pesto. The lively gathering place always seems to be buzzing, from brunch crowds to late dinner rushes.

Pharm Table

$$$ | King William Historic District

On a mission to reinvent health food into something more flavorful and inspiring since 2015, Pharm Table's chef-owner Elizabeth Johnson takes a plant-forward approach to anti-inflammatory cuisine. The restaurant uses locally sourced produce with no dairy, refined sugar, or processed foods anywhere on the menu. To that end, they also  incorporate smaller portions of clean animal proteins with an emphasis on nutrient-dense foods.
