50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Franklin Park

“My wife, daughter, and I stopped by early this morning and it was great to find this hidden gem. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious, and prices were more reasonable than several other Mexican restaurants in the area.I had the Chilaquiles (without meat or additional onion) and it had just the right amount of taste and spice. My wife had the Huevos Rancheros which she liked but were a bit too spicy for her. It was her first time trying them. I found them D-lish (I love me some spice!). My daughter had the breakfast burrito... it had chorizo, scrambled eggs, pico de gallo, and 1 or 2 other ingredients.There was plenty of parking and a small outdoor seating area as you walk in if that's your vibe. Definitely will be coming back to try out the rest of the menu. The hours are limited though so you'll have to plan accordingly.“

“We love the breakfast sandwiches here they are plentiful and delicious, we have them at any time just cause we love them so much, the owner is super nice and always so welcoming and knows his regulars and what they like, they have specials and are fast with your food. large enough place to eat and relax for a bit!“

“Celebrated our mom's birthday dinner and everything from the atmosphere, staff and food was excellent. I always drove by but had not gone in to try and I'm so happy I did. It's definitely my new go to restaurant and they deliver! I didn't get great pics of the food, but here's a couple.Parking: The restaurant is in a small shopping strip but there's plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: My kid loved the chicken tenders and fries.“

“The mango Italian ice is AMAZING. Service is very fast and portions are huge for the price. They were more than happy to sub ingredients for me. I don't usually eat meat so they replaced the meat with my requested vegetables.Dietary restrictions: They were more than happy to modify dishes for me. I don't usually eat meat so they replaced the meat with my requested vegetables“

“I will definitely come back for the carne asada torta that tasted charboiled with the soft bun. Also, the warm and soft lengua tacos with the green salsa. They pack the tacos with lots of meat and 2 tortillas each. Horchata tasted homemade with a fine grain and obvious cinnamon flavor. Overall, everything was well made and flavored.“

“It was good to find them now that I'm in FP. The food was good and I don't recall them being so expensive. I had (2) Burritos which were really good but small. And a Nacho with meat on it. $50+ dollars and it was really good but I'll find somewhere else to get my ?? fix. It was not worth the cost.“

“My parents used to frequent this restaurant 20 years ago and it was always the spot for italian seafood, extremely popular with the Italian community. Fast forward to now and my mom hadn't been here (nor I) since my dad passed.Three of us came for dinner recently and we enjoyed the grilled seafood, pasta with calamari, clams, mussels. Flavorful sauce. Mini panzerottis were fantastic. Seafood salad was finely chopped (unusual) and would of been better as chunky. Dinner was good. Our bill of over $200 with three glasses of wine seemed very pricey..Not sure my mom would return, but service was very good.“

“Two GREAT employees last night! First is Claude. Made a surprise rum drink from scratch and served it himself. Could not have asked for a better cocktail. Second is Andrew. Very thoughtful and was right there for everything with suggestions and service. They made for a very GREAT time.“

“One of the best, if not THEE best burger in Chicago“

“I really enjoy this restaurant. The food is delicious and the waitresses efficient and helpful. Great place to try . Don’t let the construction in front dissuade you there is plenty of parking.“

“This was our first visit to Burt's, and the pizza was excellent. We made a reservation, and the pizza was ready shortly after we arrived. We ordered sausage and mushrooms. The crust was very crunchy, and the cheese bits around the edge were delicious!“

“Best pancakes in the world!“

“La Parra is an authentic restaurant. Each time I go, I try something different, because I know they won't disappoint me. Everything tastes great and the staff are extremely attentive.“

“Was there for a birthday. We were seated inside not on the patio. When the monsoon type storm hit the staff did an amazing job accommodating those that were on the patio. The city-living branch of our family thinks it's well worth the trip out here to LGP. A wonderful restaurant.“

“We each got a veggie lunch special . I had the tofu in a red sauce it was best i literally ever had . The price was more than fair for the amount of food ! It was so well seasoned and cooked perfectly . The rice was so fluffy and amazing . I was also loving the crispy bread and dips as an appetizer that’s given before you order . Such a nice place to eat I highly recommend this place . Mild was mild it had just the right amount of spice . The hot was making my date sweat but he asked for hot and he got it lol Google and pre game the menu , if you are unsure what everything is incase you’re new to this type cuisine . But I assure you it will all taste good! Will definitely be back again !“

“The meal here was pretty good and our server, Lucas, was a notch next to perfection. He helped with questions we all had. He made sure our drinks never got low, and all with a great attitude.The foods we're all good for the most part, just salt on fries was way too much. Our friends enjoyed their meals. My burger was a bit short of the mark, as they could not make it how I wanted it done. We might go back for another take of the menu.The desserts were delicious and topped off the meal.Parking: Stay away from the pigs in a blanket, as just smoked sausage wrapped in crust, but greasy sausage.“

“Shavaonne is one of the sweetest and nicest servers I have come across“

“Got here before 5pm and the place was empty, which was nice. Got seated right away and after reviewing the menu, went with Hokkaido Cha-Shu Ramen and small order of Karrage.Chicken was perfectly fried, only had few pieces and took the rest home because I wanted to enjoy the ramen. Now, I'm not a fan of miso ramen, but their version was better than what I had expected and had in many other joints in the states. I was bit lost with the two potato wedges they threw in there and the cha-shu was bit dried unfortunately.Service was awesome, water got filled w/o me asking and food came out quickly. The place got busy after 5pm and by the time I left, all the tables were occupied. Would recommend you visit before the dinner rush.“

“I love the owner & I truly enjoy their food. They make their restaurant very homey, & the food is immaculate to me! I enjoy their service & the loaded fries & the black bean bbq burger is awesome. I love that they have variety of vegan options! Keep it up guys!!!“

“TNT an exceptional new series of food, drinks, and entertainment. The owner is the highlight for this black owned establishment! She’s who truly set the tone for this beautiful decorative restaurant. Be sure to try the delicious lamb chops seasoned to perfection all while complimented with thee most creamy garlicky mashed potatoes. Not to mention their Mac n Cheese doesn’t fall short of tasty and cheesy.If you haven’t yet be sure to check em’ out tell ‘em’ Nells sent you!“

“First off, the service was excellent. Michael did an amazing job. He knew the menu from front to back. He spoke loud enough so everyone at the table could here him even in a noisy, crowded restaurant. He deserves a big shout out! The food came out quickly and was presented in a very nice manner, congrats to the food runners. The food was absolutely delicious, congrats to the kitchen staff. Over all it was a great Mothers Day choice and we will certainly be back and not just for a special occasion.“

“We were at a holiday/retirement party. Large group. We were well cared for. I highly recommend them for a date night, happy hour or a large party!“

“Tony’s pulls no punches when it comes to late night or early morning dining. I’ve never seen such a variety of options from a 24hr restaurant which makes it the clear choice as they have little something for everyone. This is where I’d put a photo of one of my meals…but I ate it too fast to get the chance.“

“Great food and service is so friendly ❤️“

“Unbelievable food. The Kabuli Palaw had some of the best lamb I’ve ever tasted. Meaty, incredibly tender, deeply spiced roasted flavor but still juicy. Fell off the bone with a breath. The rice was fluffy and fragrant, while the carrots and raisins provided a sweetness to cut the richness. A light side salad to add freshness and a chickpea curry for some creamy side made for a well-rounded meal. Super friendly owner, very warm and welcoming. Will be coming back for sure.“

“Our server Anna was perfect. The ahi tuna salad that I ordered had a generous amount of tuna and very wonderful avocado slices, along with lots of other ingredients. The three people with me loved their choices also, especially the Neat burger with an egg on it. We shared carrot cake with caramel and a lot of nuts and the huge piece was more than enough for three over-eaters. This is place to pop into for a casual, delicious meal.“

“Quality food, cooked perfectly but a little on the salty side. Perfect for that guy who salts his food before tasting it. The lamb is amazing. So delicious! The wait staff is attentive but the restaurant in the casino could use a little more space between the seats. Kind of like an airport restaurant meets a movie theater?“

“We made a reservation, arrived on time, were told our table would not be ready for 15 min. There is no where to wait at the restaurant (no room at the bar and we had someone under 21 with us and there is no place else to wait where you are not in the way. We chose to wait outside. Why bother making reservation if the table is not ready? There were several open tables, too and upon return 15 min later those same tables were open! It's just very frustrating and this is the second time something like this has happened. If it happens again I am not so sure I will be as open to returning.“

“I am not all about vegan but this gem in the neighborhood is really good food!!!“

“This was my first visit to the bakery and it was packed. However, it's not my first experience. Never disappoints and worth the trip from Elgin!“

“The Greek chicken was very good, the chicken organti was very good, the gyros were very good and the beef and chicken kabobs were very good, the flaming cheese was very good as was the service from Joseph. We were a little nervous at first because the host/owner came to the front desk numerous times and said just a minute, but eventually, everything was great in a very loud restaurant. We will go back four people four dinners 1 bottle of roditys and 1 appetizer with tip under $200“

“We were a group of 8 to celebrate a big birthday. Our server, Carmen, was super good about checking on the timing of ordering the various courses. We were not rushed and the swank space contributed to making the meal very special. The lobster risotto is divine, definitely shareable after appetizers and the generous salads included with each entree. Other diners enjoyed the duck special, the whitefish, and a really good rib eye. Nice for a special occasion or any time you want to have a great meal.“

“Delightful food choices that are always tasty“

“We've been to Libertad many times and always love it! The food and drinks are consistently delicious (so glad the hummus is back...and warning that the shrimp is spicy!) We enjoy sitting in the covered patio and will be back again soon! Highly recommend this cute Skokie gem!“

“Food is unique and tasteful.“

“Highly recommend!!!! Such a delicious place! We had the Mondello Salad with Chicken, the Margherita pizza, and the Tiramisu. The portions are massive, the quality is fantastic, super cute look and decor, and the prices are some of the best we've seen recently! All in all a 5 star place! The owner was around and super accommodating & kind to the guests. He also spoke Italian with some folks - which always signals true authenticity. We love to support small businesses and loved finding this wonderful spot. We were starving on our drive back and decided to venture out along the road and found this diamond in the rough gem thanks to some great Google reviews!“

“Delicious food! Especially nice on a cold day. I appreciated that there was even a vegetarian item on the menu (a huge potato pancake with mushroom gravy), which was delicious. We also shared some sauerkraut & mushroom and potato & cheese pierogies, which were also great. Also great was the mulled wine. They serve a lovely sourdough bread with an interesting spiced spread, but heads up to vegetarians -- the spread is bacon-based. But again, excellent bread. (As you can see, deliciousness was the theme.) The exterior of the restaurant is a little unassuming but the interior is like a cheerful cabin. Would definitely recommend.Vegetarian options: Babcia's pancake, which is a potato pancake with mushroom gravy, served with 3 types of cold salad. There are also meatless pierogies: sauerkraut & mushroom and potato & cheese (ask to be served without bacon garnish). There are also some salads on the menu which are vegetarian. I don't believe any of these dishes are vegan, though at least one of the salads could probably be made vegan if the cheese was left off.“

“Phenomenal breakfast. Brought our two toddlers and they loved the scrambled egg plate and smoothies. Very good omelette sandwich and avocado toast. Highly recommended.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free toastKid-friendliness: Super friendly staff and comfy booths“

“i used to come here when i was working nearby back in 2019. not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is super friendly. after a few visits i brought a date here and the waiter talked me up to her (in Korean), which i really appreciated haha.i would always go for the dolsot bibimbap. sent friends here years later and they said the bbq was amazing, couldn't stop raving about the place.definitely go to Chungkiwa if you're looking for delicious and authentic Korean food!“

“Great food with great service. Don’t miss out on this family owned restaurant in Downers Grove. We love i!“

“I’ve been comin here for years, and the flavors and consistency have been on point.Nothing wrong with the quality of food but more so the lack in portions they aren’t giving anymore for the same price. I used to weigh the food when I came home for meal preps and there is a drastic change in the amount of meat per dollar spent. It’s no longer worth it.“

“Had lunch there today and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed with the service. The food was excellent but that's it. Asked for 2nd drink and never got it. Water was never refilled until we were through eating. When first ordering our wine we had problems. I will continue to eat here and hopefully this is a one time occurrence.“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“I decided to have french toast because of the attractive pictures on here. I tried the monthly special ube french toast. The sweet cream sandwiched between the toasts and the ube sauce were delicious. It looked very artistic too! I also like how the toasts were not drenched in syrups. My boyfriend had the smoked salmon plate and he enjoyed it too. This restaurant seems very popular as I had to wait in line for around 15 minutes on a Sunday morning before getting seated. Glad the waiting area had chairs so I didn't have to stand in line. This place is right across from Advocate Lutheran General hospital where my boyfriend will be working at. It was our first time here and he was suggesting coming here again!“

“So good. Delicious, tasty and all kinds of yummy. Everybody at the restaurant was so nice and generous. I highly recommend this place. We come to the area once a year from Canada and I think we’ll have to make this an annual dinner.“

“Wow!!! Where to start? Complimentary valet parking, A wonderful accomplished singer in the bar area. She was delightful and the perfect genre to settle back to a wonderful meal with her singing in the background at a volume level that was perfect to enjoy conversation and her songs at the same time.. The food ... perfectly prepared, visually appealing in presentation and delicious. The wine list ... very nice. The service ... we can't wait to return.“

“Ate there for the first time tonight. I am vegan and my husband is an Omni. Chef Bill came out and waited on us personally, and gave us menu recommendations, all of which were delicious! The ambiance was so relaxing and peaceful; it was a nice respite from a busy day and I didn’t want to leave. Reasonably priced as well: shared appetizer, two teas, two entrees, and two desserts was $60. Will definitely be back for many more dinners!“

“This place is filled with passion. You can see it from their service, food, and attention to detail. I never loved any restaurant like this. So good! It is so underrated and it really deserves a Michelin star. Stars! Thank you chef for such a wonderful experience!“

“Great theater, orchestra and talented cast, singing and dancing. The actresses including the burlesque dance scenes were perfectly cast. Couldn't relate to the story line of this play (guys and dolls) well enough to recommend it, but would love to see the actors in another play to showcase their substantial talents.And hope drury can pick more timely subject matter.“

“Love the drinks & food! Very cozy & classic!“
