We all know that sometimes you just need a reset—maybe after a wild weekend or to kickstart a healthier routine. By choosing to go meat-free for a day (or more), you’re not only doing your body a favor but also helping the planet. So, whether you’re a lifelong veggie lover or just curious, here’s a roundup of vegetarian options at restaurants that’ll have you feeling energized and inspired.
Simply South
1001 MacArthur Park Dr. | (972) 787-6884
It opened in 2024 and was named among the top 50 restaurants in America by the New York Times. Simply South pays homage to the numerous spices, herbs, and vegetables cultivated in India. One of the standout offerings at Simply South is the thali, a traditional Indian meal that consists of a variety of dishes served on a single platter. The thali allows diners to sample multiple flavors and textures, making it a delightful way to experience the cuisine.
My Thai & Vegan
6550 N MacArthur Blvd., #150 | (469) 399-0738
The My Thai & Vegan menu offers a range of plant-based Thai dishes that celebrate the rich flavors of the cuisine. While they do provide meat options for those who choose, the vegan menu is crafted without fish sauce, oyster sauce, or artificial flavors, using less sugar and sodium. They also offer gluten-free options to accommodate all dietary needs.
Bam's Vegan
2301 N. O'Connor Rd. #C | (972) 600-9488
Brandon Waller launched Bam’s Vegan at the Dallas Farmer’s Market, where popular dishes included jackfruit nachos and tacos. Now, you can enjoy your favorite dishes at home.

Siena Cafe
8704 Cypress Waters Blvd. #190| (972) 462-1726
When it comes to starting your day on the right foot, finding a breakfast spot that offers delicious vegetarian options can make all the difference. Siena Cafe’s take on the classic egg benedict features grilled tomato, spinach, and avocado. Delicious, just like their fluffy waffles from the griddle with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
Zeytin Mediterranean Grill
114 E John Carpenter Fwy, Ste 100 | (972) 887-2000
Zeytin Mediterranean Grill offers a delightful array of vegetarian options in Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. Start your meal with cold dips like hummus, babaganoush, and cacik, all served with warm pita for dipping. Then, customize your own Zeytin rice bowl by choosing your preferred protein and sauce. For the vegetarian twist, opt for crispy falafels served over fragrant saffron rice.
