Vegetarian Food in Atlanta

One of my favorite things about Atlanta is how much variety there is when it comes to vegetarian food. From fully plant-based restaurants to Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, Thai, Indian, tacos, pizza and casual spots with great vegetarian options, these are places I’ve personally tried and would actually recommend.

Where I Eat

Fully Plant-Based

  • Vegan · Reynoldstown

    La Semilla

    780 Memorial Dr SE, Atlanta

    A fully plant-based restaurant serving modern Latin cuisine, with a Latin, Cuban and Mexican-inspired approach across the whole menu. One of the vegan restaurants in Atlanta I’d point every vegetarian visitor to first.

Ethiopian Favorites

Ethiopian food is one of my favorite options when I want a meal with plenty of naturally vegetarian choices. You’ll often find lentils, split peas, greens, vegetables and other plant-based dishes served together with injera, which makes it especially easy to try several things at once.

  • Vegetarian-Friendly · Ethiopian · Johns Creek

    Ethiopiques Cafe & Restaurant

    One of my Atlanta-area picks when I’m craving Ethiopian food.

    A great Ethiopian option north of Atlanta with lots of veggie-friendly choices. Ethiopian cuisine is especially good for vegetarians because many of the traditional dishes are centered around lentils, legumes and vegetables.

    Desta Ethiopian Kitchen

    I love Ethiopian food when I want lots of veggie options instead of being limited to one vegetarian entrée.

    A popular Atlanta Ethiopian restaurant and another great choice for vegetarians. There are plenty of lentil, vegetable and plant-based options, making it easy to put together a filling vegetarian meal.

Mediterranean + Middle Eastern

  • Vegetarian-Friendly · Middle Eastern · Mediterranean

    Jerusalem Bakery & Cafe

    A place I personally like and would recommend.

    One of my Atlanta-area favorites for Middle Eastern food. It’s an easy option for vegetarians thanks to dishes and sides like hummus, falafel, baba ghanoush, salads and other veggie-friendly Mediterranean staples.

    The original West Midtown location for Neapolitan-style pizza from wood-fired ovens, in a casual atmosphere. It’s not a vegetarian restaurant, but there are vegetarian pizza possibilities.
