The best vegan restaurant in Minneapolis goes to a locale that’s, well, not quite a full-fledged restaurant. The ingenuity and quality, however, make this place truly spectacular. This vegan butcher shop (yes, you read that right) keeps a variety of plant-based meats in stock along with vegan cheeses and other typical deli fares. Stop by to get slices of vegan meat and enjoy a hot sandwich while you’re there.
Elegant and trendy might describe this restaurant, but the dishes they serve here are totally unpretentious and globally-inspired.

Tasty sandwiches and nutrient-packed salads are standard here at Seed Cafe, a local family-owned vegan joint. Head here to delight your sense and tantalise your taste bud with the array of sweet and savoury vegan dishes they’ve got on the menu. The light-filled restaurant feels so cosy that you’ll certainly stay for seconds.
Comfort food, soul food, whatever you want to call it, it’s hard to deny that even vegans sometimes get cravings for homemade mac and cheese or even Spaghetti-O’s. Trio Plant-Based aims to cure those cravings by offering up some of the most delicious plant-based comfort food in the state.
Namaste Cafe is the place for vegans looking to indulge in Indian and Nepali cuisine in the heart of Minneapolis. This quaint cafe offers quality vegan cuisine and a pretty extensive menu that includes lots of dishes you can request vegan if you’d like. It’s best to head here really hungry, as you’re going to want to try one of everything.
Okay, so like the No. 1 restaurant on this list, Vegan East isn’t technically a full-fledged restaurant, but upon biting into one of their scrumptious plant-based cupcakes or cheesecakes, we think you’ll agree with us that it deserves a spot on this list. You’ll find the best vegan baked goods and desserts at Vegan East. But, they’ve also been known to serve other tasty treats, such as vegan hot dogs.
What would the Twin Cities be without fantastic burgers? Vegans shouldn’t have to miss out on the chance to try famous Minneapolis burgers, which is why the chefs at Hell’s Kitchen designed the Impossible burger. Plant-based patties combine with quality ingredients to form one of the best vegan burgers in Minnesota. Make sure you request it totally vegan, as they have different kinds of buns for those who don’t consume any animal products.
