Today we're going to get over the conception that meatless meals are composed of tofu stuffed with tofu served atop of tofu. Take a deep breath and forget about the hippie vegetarian stereotype. Good. Now let this map be your teacher to Miami's best vegan/vegetarian dishes. From a raw cheeseburger (yes, you read that correctly) to hearty Indian food, Miami's meat free meals are satisfying for everyone, not just veggie heads.
So what, Maoz Vegetarian is an international, quick-service franchise? We're suckers for good falafel and Maoz has got 'em! This vegetarian and vegan-friendly chain hails from Amsterdam bringing delicious falafel to Miami. Choose either a falafel sandwich or salad and top it with hummus, Babaganoush, avocado, and plenty more! Our suggestion? Try the Belgian fries and dip them (generously) in the garlic sauce.
Although the acclaimed Sublime Restaurant & Bar isn't technically in Miami, the Frito Misto is good enough to excuse such technicalities. This vegan appetizer is cauliflower at its very best: deep-fried, bathed in sweet chili sauce, and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Choices Cafe is all about... well, choices (you saw that coming, didn't you?). Their menu offers an extensive variety of vegetarian, vegan, and even raw options. While their organic juices and smoothies are ideal for the health-conscious, we're all about the heartier Gentil Lentil Burger: a lentil and beet patty with sauteed onions, lettuce, tomato, and Daiya cheese on an Ezekiel bun. Oh, and make sure to save room for their dairy-free/raw desserts!
This Southwestern/Western inspired restaurant is sure to appease both veggie heads and meat lovers alike with healthy AND substantial options. Our favorite vegetarian dishes include the Vegetarian Chili, Posse Taco, and Vegetarian Chipotle Black Bean Burger on Sourdough, but the Grilled Marinated Eggplant Con Queso (pictured) takes the cake: grilled eggplant topped with a Manchego, cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheese blend served with saffron rice, grilled portobello mushrooms, baby asparagus, fresh avocado, pico de gallo, and a spicy red pepper pesto.
While not completely meat free, The Café at Books & Books does include an entire vegan section in their menu. We suggest you dine al fresco in their beautiful outdoor seating and enjoy the Organic Tofu & Wild Mushroom Stir-Fry, tossed with green beans, carrots, and Asian dressing and served with couscous.
A cheese burger that's totally vegan and raw? Dreams do come true. Green Wave Café isn't in Miami, but it's certainly worth the drive for its famous interpretation of the American classic. A raw vegan patty, “cheese” sauce, and all the fixings come together on your choice of either onion or almond bread.
This tiny gem in Miami's MiMo district is known for its elevated take on comfort food, including meatless fare (huzzah!). The Veggie Plate is a vegetarian's dream embodied as any four items from their Veg Chalkboard for a mere $16. Sauteed kale, roasted beets & goat cheese, roasted artichoke hearts, buttered baby bok choy, and watermelon ccumber salad are only a few of the featured options. With over 20 veggie sides to choose from, the combinations are plentiful!
The Beet Salad at Michael's Genuine is hard to beat (get it?), with kalamata olives, quinoa, pistachios, mint, shaved red onion, and yogurt dressing. You won't even be tempted to add any meat to it!
You are only allowed to name your restaurant after yourself when your food is damn good, and Hakin's vegetarian and vegan Caribbean-inspired goodness is. From Jamaican Veggie Patties to Coconut Curried Sauteed Vegan Salmon, Hakin knows how to work a meatless meal. His “No Bull” BBQ Ribs Sandwich is a fantastic rendition of the traditional, with vegan BBQ seitan strips, red peppers and onions on a crunchy whole wheat baguette.
Sure, there's a lot of meat at Tongue & Cheek but there's also the rye gnocchi with summer squash, confit tomatoes, and citrus coriander cream. A seasonal dish that's incredibly satisfying yet light.
Yes, we know that you know all about the Shake Shack, and its glorious fries and frozen custard. YUM. But did you know they also serve a vegetarian burger? The 'Shroom Burger is an awesome alternative for those opting to eat meat free. A golden, fried portobello mushroom filled with melted muenster and cheddar cheeses, lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce on a fluffy bun? Sign us up!
At Green Bar & Kitchen healthful food is a serious philosophy, not just a hopeful New Year's resolution (oops). It's also delicious. The Coconut Grain Bowl looks as good as it tastes, with brown rice, quinoa, carrots, coconut oil, coconut flakes, white cabbage, kale, ginger, garlic, scallion, kaffir lime leaves and red pepper. Phew! You feel healthier just reading that, don't ya?
The good folk at LoKal claim their Veggie Burger is good enough to “make a caveman convert,” and we believe it. Made of oat bran, brown rice, beets, and prunes served with traditional toppings, this burger isn't just for vegetarians.
This surprisingly veggie option at Yardbird is bound to blow you away: grilled cauliflower takes the main stage as faux-steak alongside hooch onion marmalade (sweet, boozy goodness) piled on a soft bun, served with pickles.
What vegetarian doesn't dream of Indian food? The endless meat free options, fluffy basmati rice, and golden naan perfect for scooping saucy goodness. Bombay Darbar's Malai Kofta is entirely comforting AND vegetarian, featuring vegetable and cheese croquettes cooked in a creamy cashew sauce with nuts and raisins.
