The 10 Best Vegetarian Restaurants In Wisconsin
Best known for bratwurst and fish fries, Wisconsin is not the easiest place to be a vegetarian. Vegans may also find it difficult to find a restaurant that meets their dietary restrictions in the self-proclaimed Dairy State. Vegetarianism and veganism is becoming more popular however, and an increasing number of these restaurants are popping up around the state. Here is a list of the 10 best vegetarian restaurants in Wisconsin.
Café Manna
Café Manna was one of the first restaurants in Wisconsin to serve an entirely vegetarian menu. It is also very environmentally friendly, being the first Certified Green Restaurant in Wisconsin. All of the dishes served here are made from scratch and created using the freshest seasonal, locally grown foods. Ingredients that come from organic or sustainable farming practices are used whenever possible and the restaurant uses a reverse osmosis water purification system. Café Manna also provides a number of vegan, gluten-free, soy-free and raw options, ensuring that everyone will find something delicious here, no matter their dietary restrictions.
