50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Harwood Heights

“We love this little neighborhood gem!!! Jackie is the best waitress we've ever had there... maybe one of the best we have ever had since moving to Chicago almost three years ago!!!“

“Excellent food and service!! Highly recommend!“

“Tried it for the first time - the starters, flatbread, and main courses were good on the whole and with good flavor profiles. Our baked Alaska was nicely presented but didn't have as much strawberry or rhubarb flavor as we hoped, it was bland. It's probably the most upscale vegan place price-wise. Service was friendly and efficient too - fyi we went on a Thursday, no problem getting a reservation. We will go back, though to try some of the other dishes, may try a different dessert too. Whether you are vegan or not, this a great place for dinner and also a nice place to take guests.“

“Have been twice and my experience has been great“

“This place is the best. The food is to die for. I have been to Boonies several times now and i have yet to have a menu item that i haven't absolutely loved. The service is fantastic and the atmosphere and playlist are great. I can't recommend this place enough!“

“Fantastic pizza. Best I’ve had outside of Italy. You can literally taste the freshness in the ingredients! It looks like these folks don’t cut any corners. The burrata is unreal, I’m practically drooling writing this. Please order the burrata if you go.“

“I am late writing my review but I had to write it !! I visited provare chicago On july 8th !! From start to finish this restaurant gets 5 starts . The decor was nice and set a perfect atmosphere for a great night . We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated within 5 minutes of being there . Once seated the wait staff began their introduction's on drinks and popular menu item's. After my party ordered drinks and appetizers a gentleman came over (not sure if he was the manager) and introduce himself and made sure we were having a great experience. Appetizers were amazing!! We couldn't wait for dinner!! Our entrées we just as good if not better ! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! When we didn't think the night could get even better the entire wait staff and the gentleman that came over before stopped and recognized my friend for her birthday and brought over a birthday surprise!! I live 307 miles and this place was definitely worth the drive !!!“

“We went Easter Morning for brunch and it was quite busy. The staff were not affected by the crowd, they were happy and very pleasant. The food was amazing. I would definitely recommend dining here. I know we will be back next time we are in Chicago ❤️“

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“We went last night for the first time… Great menu options, food was delicious, portions were perfect, staff was really nice. I had the Grilled Salmon, he had the Braised Pork Shoulder…definitely recommend both.“

“This is a no frills, cash only spot, but don't let it fool you. Some of the best food around at super affordable prices. The service is top notch as well. The people running this place clearly care about the food and service they provide!“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience“

“i am so grateful for such a wonderful evening at lula cafe! i went with a friend last night and the service, the food, and the atmosphere truly were all five stars. the staff were just so lovely, it felt as if i'd been coming for years and was a cherished regular. we started with the baked feta and it actually came with more than enough delicious sourdough to enjoy it with. you ever notice how a lot of places will give you something delicious to dip, but you run out of something to eat it with? haha clearly lula cafe wants you to just eat and have fun - they take care of the rest. my main was delicious and the ricotta ice cream with chocolate and cherries? i could have eaten a litre. thanks again!!“

“Papaya Salad, Grilled Squid, Crab meat fried rice.“

“Very impressive drinks and menu. A modern twist to Mexican food definitely 5 stars. Waiter was amazing at guiding me what to choose based on my traditional Mexican entrees I enjoy. Margaritas were AMAZING!!!!“

“Great food.There is much more space on the inside than it looks.Servers were polite.Nice calm lighting and atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. May be difficult to navigate a bit. Other more accommodating entrance may exist.“

“Customer Service & food was amazing!!“

“Great neighborhood spot, great wine selection. Service by Conor was superb. Thomas the server assistant, was so warm and friendly. Those are keepers. Have not tried the wines, but I am French and a sommelier, the wine selection looks great, will come back for that. Highly recommend.“

“Eravamo in 4 a cena e siamo rimasti soddisfatti sia del cibo che del servizio . Il locale era pieno di gente ma la cameriera Maria ci ha serviti velocemente e in maniera simpatica e professionale. Le pizze che abbiamo mangiato sono state ottime. Ristorante consigliato.“

“As Islanders living here, this place is a piece of of home. Onolicious grinds!“

“A not so hidden gem as of late now that reviews are catching up with the imaginative menu and exceptional dining experience Community Tavern has been consistently providing over the past several years. Menu is full of unique dishes… elevated dumpling and noodles are a signature. Beautifully plated and generous- but not overly. Cocktail menu is fun, with zero proof options that are spot on. Save room for baked Alaska. Oh, and ambiance is chic but allows the focus to be where it belongs. On the food. Upscale West Loop experience in modest Portage Park for a lot less and no pretense.“

“My guy and I dined there last night and I can only say that every aspect of this visit was, on a scale from 1 to 5, a 10. Atmosphere, service, cleanliness, promptly being seated AND served with a reservation, courteous waitstaff, and last but not least...every dish we tasted was superbly plated and tasted amazing. We had the restaurant week special with 3 entrees. We chose the pot roast, blackened salmon w/creamed spinach, honey chicken with fried pound cake, short ribs /mashed potatoes, shrimp n grits. Well done! We will be coming back!“

“I'm a sucker for Heritage's Happy Hour Oyster for a while so had to circle back for the restaurant week. The whole experience was giving East meets West as it covers a good range of dishes/inspired cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised with how each courses was planned out, with very balanced flavor combinations, leaving me full but not uncomfortably stuffed. My favorite we're definitely the tuna crudo, braised beef and fiancier, hopefully that make the official menu one day. Overall great experience and the downstairs speakeasy space makes it so fun to eat and catch up.“

“Didn't eat here but I wish I would have after where I did eat lol. A very nice neighborhood pup, lots of character and with lots of beer selections as well. The bartender was very knowledgeable and willing to let u try a small sample of anyone of the beers u were curious about. Definitely would go back but next time definitely eating there. ?“

“Did a self guided pizza tour of Chicago last week. 12 spots in 3 days and Pequod’s lived up to the hype. Hands down the best pizza in Chicago. Thick fluffy crust, sweet but spicy sauce, plenty of cheese, and the pepperoni seemed to be hand cut for our pizza. If you like incredible pizza with the hole in the wall feel, this is the place. The spot on Clayborn is the perfect pizza spot. Sit at the bar, sit at a table, overall staff was awesome, and the Pizza is incredible!Thanks Pequod’s!“

“Amazing food! Loved flute seared tuna sandwich, can’t wait to go back.!“

“Great service and delicious food;)“

“Quaint, charming and delicious. Service was wonderful. Absolutely the best French Onion soup, ever. We give it 5 stars. We’ll be back!“

“Some of the best ice cream you will ever have and so many options. The atmosphere is so much fun. The service is 10 out of 10 well no more like 100 out of 10. The lady working there was so good she is the definition of what customer service is.Just heads up, cash only but there is an ATM there.“

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“Wonderful service and excellent rolls!! Overall great experience“

“Just incredible. There are no words for how impressive this bakery is. The owner is an absolute angel, the desserts are insanely delicious and the aesthetic is perfect. This is my go to for any special occasions. I even have non vegan friends/family that request Pie Pie for their birthdays. I cannot recommend supporting this business enough. My personal favorite flavors are banana split, chocolate strawberry, and nutter butter.“

“was here a couple of days ago, and this place just never fails to please. the steak sizes are not huge, but perfect size for a meal. it is truly family owned, mama has been here everytime i've been here. it is clean, service is attentive, and the drinks are honest. and hopefully they never change the comfort and ambiance as that is really the best! once you have been here, you'll never forget it and will come back. the only complaint that i have is that the flat iron steak had too many tendons (?). the rib eye and the new york were perfect. order those. and do get the shrimp appetizer, that is just fantastic. if you're coming with friends, any table will do, but if you're coming with a special person, try to get one of the screened in tables for more privacy. this is one of the few restaurants in chicago that offers that. and so you know, this place is extremely comfortable and easily accessible.“

“Small interior, but very nice outdoor patio space to eat at. Started with the chicken pot pie. Nice crispy crust and a great balance of peas, carrots, and chicken. Great flavors but the chicken was a little overcooked messing with the overall texture of the pie filling. The reason I came was to try a sweet pie and ended up getting the chocolate pud’n. The pudding and cocoa whipped cream had perfect consistencies with the pudding being slightly thicker. Dark chocolate curls on top being a nice touch and everything being encompassed by the crust which reminded me of brownie brittle. The slice was not overly sweet but gave me all the chocolate flavor I needed. Can’t wait to come back and try some of their other sweet pies as well the mushroom pot pie.“

“The beer selection was fantastic and felt very rustic and cozy inside. fantastic space“

“Best Sandwiches in Chicago!!!“

“First time there today, but I'll be back again soon. The coffee milkshake was so good, as was their cheezy bread! Can't wait to try more!“

“great food, great ambience, amazing host!“

“amazing food and great tea! I will definitely be back“

“The food is amazing: tasty and healthy. I love it. Thank you for also baking the Masala biscuit for our dinner.“

“Good food , good gem and good friends…..?“

“First time there today, but I'll be back again soon. The coffee milkshake was so good, as was their cheezy bread! Can't wait to try more!“

“This place is our new favorite for a casual brunch/lunch. We've been a few times now; the food is always out of this world good, we love the setup and service, and enjoy peeking at the grocery & bakery items — we'll have to try those next.“

“One of the better Deep dish places in town. If you want to try it and see if you like it, this is one of the few places that does it by the slice. They also have a sandwich shop included along with a salad bar and a smoothie operation too. All in all it's a good neighborhood place. This is not a destination place pizza IMHO. But if you are in the wicker park bucktown area, and want Deep dish, here's a good option, as most pizza places in this hood are the thin crust variety.ETA: No longer offering slices, bummer ?. And for the owner's reply: being endorsed by the noted hack, Steve Dolinsky, is not a mark of honor you seem to think! Still remains a good neighborhood deep dish pizzeria.“

“Best pancakes in the world!“

“Amazing dine-in pizza spot. Unique pizzas by the slice means everyone can try something different. Their pulled pork pizza is the best slice I've ever eaten, bar none. Cheese curds are delicious too!“

“I love this place! The food is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing and the art - you have to come by if for no other reason then to check out the original art! Top-notch… I’ve had a margarita here before as well and there are also great- I can hardly ever find a decent margarita. I highly recommend this place.“

“Mom and I stopped here for lunch while in town for a concert. Food was absolutely delicious - my rice was perfect and the lamb kabob was great. Mom loved the chicken shawarma. The portions were large and price reasonable. People were very friendly. If we lived nearby I would come here all the time and I'm keeping it on my radar for any future Chicago visits.“

“I can’t comment on what I don’t know but I do know that the food is delicious and the service is wonderful! The restaurant is very cozy and clean. I recommend either location! I have never been disappointed.“
