Best Vegan Restaurants in Lake Minnetonka

"That term is no longer an oxymoron, thanks to the revolutionary stuff happening at Herbivorous Butcher in Northeast Minneapolis. I’ll never forget the first time I ran into these guys at a local farmers market. They were serving up “BBQ Ribs” that looked, tasted, and even smelled just like the real deal!"

"– 3 p.m., Sundays, April 25 (check Facebook for updates)1729 N. Second St., Minneapolis. As you can guess by the name, this bi-weekly farmers market is all vegan, featuring players in our local plant-based world."

"Appetizers include BBQ jackfruit fries, cauliflower wings, and nachos with cheeze sauce and walnut taco meat. Favorite main dishes include the Mac attack burger with buffalo mac and cheeze and the boolin buffalo cauliflower-based chicken wrap. The dessert menu includes the Trio big chocolate cookie, vanilla cake with strawberry sauce, and sweet potato pie."

"Sure, there’s a decent number of plant-based restaurants these days. But how many plant-based Soul Food restaurants have you ever seen?. Yeah, Trio’s rocking a menu that will make even the most devout meat-eater jealous…"

"Finally, over in Whittier, check out Trio Plant-based, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 59 reviews on Yelp. You can find the vegan and vegetarian spot, which offers comfort food and more, at 610 W."

"the herald angels sing – glory to this vegan and gluten-free cafe and bakery!. Among the best vegan restaurants in Minneapolis, this bakery serves up delicious bagels, sandwiches and baked goods. Plus they dish out a weekend brunch for the hungry and/or hungover."

"An all-vegan bakery in the Minneapolis neighborhood of Uptown (or White Bear Lake), you’ll find an array of goodies like cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, vegan poptarts, brownies, and more. I’m a massive fan of their homemade poptarts, cookies, and bars — which change regularly!. On two separate occasions (this is a must-stop for me when I’m in the area), I’ve gotten a snickers cookie — packed with chocolate, caramel, and peanuts — and a s’mores bar!"

"In south Minneapolis is this totally vegan bakery and they’ve got plenty for you to choose from including many gluten-free options. For owner Shelia Nelson, baking vegan goods started off a just a hobby, but as she kept getting more and more request decided it was finally time to open up a store front. Vegan East has an assortment of tasty treats, but what will impress you the most is just how beautifully decorated the cakes and cupcakes are."

"A vegan bakery and cafe with locations in Uptown, White Bear Lake, Northeast Minneapolis serves up vegan cakes, cupcakes, cookies, bars, rolls, and cheesecakes. Gluten-free treats are often available as well as holiday cookie decorating kits and stunningly decorated seasonal dessert options."

"Khyber Pass is low-key still one of St. Paul’s tastiest restaurants. Always go for the nightly special: Whatever it is, get it. If you’re looking for Middle Eastern cuisine, Khyber Pass delivers every time the deep, arousing flavors Afghani food is famous for."

"More (relatively) cheap fish tacos can be found at Uptown's Muddy Waters. At $8 for two, they're pricier than some of the others, but they also come fried as lager tempura and served with slaw, red onions, and crema."

"Chef/owner Mykela Jackson runs a Tuesday night takeout pop-up out of Tori 44, with affordable fare that changes weekly (she posts the menu on her Instagram page,@keikoskitchen) but might include collard greens, mac and cheese, cornbread, candied butternut squash, fried chicken (made with oyster mushrooms) and Key lime pie. Next up: opening a wellness grocery store with a plant-based community kitchen. "So I can host pop-ups for other food entrepreneurs within my space," she said."

"The Tao has a small juice bar and deli in front of its natural foods store. Daily sandwich and soup specials are offered, along with a great selection of books, herbs, vitamins, and health and beauty products. Tao is located next to an eco-store."

"During the unrest in the wake of George Floyd’s killing, this restaurant became a touchstone for the city. It turned from serving food, to acting as a collection point for neighbors in needs. While it has long since returned to serving its incredible jerk chicken and coconut rice, the eatery remains an example of its one love philosophy."

"Pimento Jamaican Kitchen specializes in Jamaican street food. The menu packs some serious heat and is quickly served. It's just as tasty for take-out as it is to grab a seat inside this little tropical oasis in the tundra."

"This fast-casual restaurant located near the Minneapolis College of Art and Design is the real deal. The jerk chicken is roasted for a full 24 hours, and it shows. The spices are bold, and the meat is juicy and tender."

"The words “corn pancakes,” are a savory sweet trigger to anyone who has ever tasted one at Maria’s Cafe. A sweet little neighborhood gathering spot, the menu has plenty of other eye-opener options, but those pancakes are non-negotiable."
