Whether you’re craving vegan pizza, burgers, soup, pasta, salad, or pastries, they have it all.

The Green House, 1427 Military Cutoff Rd., Unit 106, Wilmington, NC 28403

Located in East Wilmington, The Green House focuses on reaching the highest standards in both dining experience and environmental sustainability. Everything is environmentally friendly, from the 100% vegan, 100% gluten free (including pastas and breads) menu, to the light, modern, plant-filled décor — right down to the plaster. In an outdoor seating area (which the owners plan to turn into a greenhouse), they grow their own herbs in aeroponic towers, and other ingredients are sourced locally where possible. Enjoy a multi-course meal based on expertly prepared vegetables and clean proteins: a starter such as a mushroom board with marinated mushroom salad, a spreadable mushroom cheese, and oyster mushroom ‘bacon’, followed by salads or soups, an entrée such as braised and seasoned eggplant ‘steak’ served with parsnip-potato puree and roasted asparagus, and a dessert such as chocolate cake. And pair this with an offering from the all-vegan natural and biodynamic wine list, or intentionally crafted cocktails, whether alcoholic or ‘Zero Proof Conscious’.

V.L.C. Vegan Eatery, 504 N. Alafaya Trail, Ste. 113, Orlando, FL 32828

A family-owned restaurant with chefs “Papa Wu” and “Mama Wu” running the kitchen, VLC Eatery in East Orlando aims to bring “Vegan.Love.Care. (VLC)” to its customers. Jim Wu (Papa) began his plant-based lifestyle 15 years ago but has been cooking for over 40 years, and he brings that passion and experience to the Asian Fusion menu, which caters to a variety of appetites (offering small plates, a la carte, and combo platters) and tastes. The sushi rolls (some of which are gluten-free) are customer favorites, as are the dumplings. “Chick’n” is used in many of the dishes, but tofu and an abundance of vegetables are also staple ingredients. The dessert menu is intriguing, with tempura vegan ice cream and tempura vegan “cheezecake,” or you may choose to finish your meal with a thai tea or matcha latte.

Wasota Vegan Paradise, 701 East 53rd St., Austin, TX 78751
