Ask and you shall receive. Recently we told you where to find the best summer cocktails, frozen treats, brunch, seafood, rooftops and burgers. One of our readers requested a list of the Best Meat-Free Options.
I asked the writers of Capital Cooking for their selections. Comment below to let us know what you think!
Lauren’s Pick: Beuchert’s
Saloon has some incredible veggie dishes.
Hannah’s Pick: Zaytinya is my absolute fav for veggie food.
Lauren
Rosalanko’s Pick: Busboys and Poets does
a fabulous job catering to vegetarian and vegan eaters, as well as having meat
options for meat lovers as well. For all
meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner they specifically mark if something is
Vegetarian with a VG, and Vegan with a V. They have a few tofu options and
vegan quesadillas and nachos. For breakfast, a few options include egg wraps
and vegan egg wraps, that are really good!
Kathy’s
Pick: Sweet Green and Pizzeria Paradiso is a favorite of mine - they
offer meat free pizzas and allow you to substitute their cheese for a soy/dairy
free alternative called Daiya.
Melinda’s Pick: Muse Café
Tom’s Pick: Sunflower Café
in Vienna, VA. They do mock meat dishes that are really tasty.
There's another branch in Falls Church. Worth a trip out there for those
who never leave the city.
Amanda’s
Pick: Bangkok
Golden in Falls Church does Meatless Mondays and offers great vegetarian
choices of both Thai and Laotian cuisines.
JoLynda’s Pick: Pure Pasty Company in Vienna, VA has some of
the best vegetarian options for Cornish Pasties and veggie soups.
Including a curried veggie pastie and cold creamed cucumber soup.

only, but it's DC's only raw-food restaurant.

What a beautiful feature -- all these dishes look gorgeous and delicious. Wish I could try them all. Perhaps I'll have to do that. : ) Thanks!
Thank you for your fabulous suggestions!
WOW - Thanks for this great article and beautiful photos! Hope to see many of these places at the upcoming DC VegFest!

This is a wonderful article, thanks for sharing some of these delicious places to eat! My favorite places are Bus Boys and Poets and Everlasting Life Cafe (they have the best vegan mac&cheese I've ever tasted)!
Good to know. I still haven't been to Everlasting Life Cafe, but Rachel loves it. I'm happy there are so many good options in DC. I'm sure there will be more as restaurants continue to realize the demand is there.
