In order to cover all that we have already been to since we moved here 2 months ago.. we decided to list out all of the restaurants we've visited and what we had. Disgustingly, we found out we have been to 50 restaurants! Some more than once! Anyway, here is a list of places we've been and whether/what we would recommend for vegetarians, keep in mind we always order egg whites when eggs are involved and we drink our coffee black:
Hey Cupcake - RECOMMEND! Pumpkinator.
Home Slice To go - Do not recommend (We have not tried the original) - have now, still don't recommend.
Alamo Drafthouse - Recommend. Artichoke Pizza, butter beer, caramel custard. - spaghetti squash, asian salad, tofu sandwich.
The Highball - Recommend. We went for the Yule ball, the veggie burger was pretty good, the butter beer was delicious.
Magnolia Cafe, South Congress - Recommend. Only go before 7AM for the best service and food, try the LOVE veggies, some of the best coffee in town, they will substitute tofu for eggs.
Veggie Heaven - Recommend. There are about 50 combos of greatness, service sucks.
Magic Wok - Recommend! The General Tso's is some of the best tofu we have tried, especially cold the next day.
Torchy's Taco's - Do not recommend.
Taco Cabana - Recommendish. Good salsa bar, average bean taco.
Jackalope - Recommend. Very good/large pizza.
Guero's - Recommend. Pretty good mole sauce, excellent Don Margaritas.. sometimes, food is average, queso is awesome.
Tacos la Guera's (Bright orange building on South Congress) - Recommended. Some of the best breakfast taco's we have had yet, interesting choices, authentic, and very cheap.
Taqueria a la Charra (on Lamar) - Recommended. Even better breakfast taco's, get the egg and potato.
Dominican Joe's - Do not recommend.
Joe's - Recommend. Very good granola, not very good taco's, OK coffee.
Genuine Joe's - Do not recommend. Food is OK and coffee is not very good, veggie friendly though.
Mozart's - Recommended. Pumpkin Cheesecake is to die for, the rest is not amazing, college kid service. - not recommended for vegans.
El Sol y La Luna - Recommendish. Not the greatest atmosphere or service, empanadas were pretty good, best mexican martini we've had.
El Mercado - Recommended. Great happy hour from 4-6PM, pretty cheap, they have a vegetarian section and they have vegetarian rice and beans. - no longer recommend cause food sucks :(
Mr. Natural - Recommended. Delicious mole, all vegetarian, authentic, very healthy mexican food.
Spiderhouse Cafe - Recommendish. Some of the best atmosphere in town, not the greatest food or drinks, the cucumber margarita is not as good as it sounds.
Kerbey Lane Cafe - Recommendish. We have been there many times at 3 different locations and we have had good and bad experiences, pretty good coffee, delicious BBQ tofu, great vegan pancakes, they will substitute tofu for eggs. Don't believe people about the migas, they are not that great.
Arturo's - Recommended. Definitely the best migas in town, the thai veggie sandwich is not as good as it sounds. - not recommended for vegans
Madam Mam's - Recommended. Only because it has a large selection of good sounding vegetarian stuff, although the black colored noodle dish was not good.
Shakespeare's Pub - Not recommended. They don't have food but just wanted to mention how bad their long island iced teas are.
Bone Daddy's - Recommendish. They have almost nothing for vegetarians but it is a really cool atmosphere to watch the game and have a domestic beer.
Jim's - Do not recommend. It is pretty much Denny's.
Denny's - Do not recommend. - their hashbrowns are vegan so they can be recommended again :)
Sagra - Recommend! The most amazing tasting food you will ever try, you have to order things without the meat but it is still delicious, try the sagra pizza, the eggs sagra, the polenta bowl and the lasagna del inverno! - the vegan menu is not as amazing but the truffled mushroom panini and mixed veggie pasta are still legit.
Dog and Duck Pub - Recommend! They have one of the best veggie burgers we've tried, be sure to order the burger of your choice with the homemade black bean burger.. the regular one is not that good. The best burger in Miguel's opinion is the Black and Bleu (ask them to blacken your veggie burger), and in Shannon's opinion is the pineapple mango burger! They also have a huge selection of beers and other vegetarian British food.
Austin Java - Recommended. Very good cranberry scone, not very good coffee, very good pumpkin spiked latte.
Doc's Motorworks - Recommended. They have a pretty good burger, the peppercorn and torta burger are good.
Max's Wine Dive - Recommendish. Maybe if you are bringing a meat eater along cause supposedly they have the best fried chicken in the world but the grilled cheese was only OK, the tomato soup was good though and obviously they have an amazing wine and beer list.
Fado Irish Pub - Recommendish. They have very little for vegetarian's but the best Guiness pour in town.
Parkside - Recommended. Great atmosphere and service, sit on the patio for a beautiful view and the butternut squash ravioli appetizer is tiny but reallly good.
Peche - Recommended. It is very authentic and right next to a live music venue, the gnocchi was great, the creme brulee not so much.
Chilantro - Recommended. They have the choice of tofu in almost every delicious entree they serve, this is a trailer, the fries are not as good as they look.. the taco's are.
Shady Grove - Recommended. The noodle salad is awesome, the hippie burger is pretty good, they have live music out back.
The Gingerman - Recommended. Very large beer selection, the empanadas are pretty darn good.
F. N. Goode Burgers (behind The Local) - RECOMMENDED. The best veggie burger we've tried to date, it is homemade. Get the chili burger.
La Boite - Recommended. The best almond croissants of my life, the macarons are pretty good, the sandwiches are alright, good coffee. - not recommended for vegans.
Texas Chili Parlor - Recommended. Pretty good chili baked potato and pasta salad, biker bar type atmosphere (as in Harley's).
Zax's - Recommended. Very good bruschetta, the fig and goat cheese was the best. The polenta with blue cheese is kind of strong but pretty good, the artichoke pizza was good, large beer selection. - not recommended for vegans, veggie burgers kinda suck.
Aussie's - Recommended. Very laid back beach atmosphere that reminds us of Florida, the food was not that great or healthy, we had the veggie burger, chips and salsa and about 5 pitchers of beer.
Taste of Fire - Recommended. Little red trailer on Barton Springs, amazingly healthy, fresh spring rolls. Apparently, her special is a vegetarian dish that is not always on the menu, haven't tried it yet.
Crepe Mille - Recommended. Miguel was not that happy about his omelet crepe (he forgot to order whites only) but we were both amazed at how good the Cremini Mushroom Crepe was, the flavor is ignited with a spritz of the lemon, bad coffee. - not recommended for vegans.
The Main Event - Recommend. Best Don Margarita's ever! The vegetarian food options are not that great but then again neither are the meat eater options, this is a place for fun only.
Roppolo's Pizza - Recommendish. They had vegetarian options but the pizza was bland and they are not nice about picky vegetarians that don't want the meat pizza touching the veggie pizza. - not recommended for vegans.
So we can't remember all of the names of the restaurants, more may be added when we do! Isn't this sad? It amounts to going out to eat more than every other day. It doesn't even include places where we only had drinks.
