Best Vegan Restaurants in Highlands Ranch

"The Lowdown: This may be the ultimate date spot due to its euphoric atmosphere of tables surrounded by tree bark and draped by curtains and lanterns — an ‘urban aspen grove.’ Suitable for a date of two or a double date — due to its amply spaced booths. It feels like an exclusive club and bar but it has award-winning food to match. For starters, the delicacy that is roasted bone marrow ($14) or the grilled squid ($14) with charred broccolini are good choices."

"Beatrice & Woodsley is the most artfully designed dining room in Denver. Chainsaws are buried into the wall to support shelves, there’s an aspen growing through the back of the dining room and the feel is that of..."

"To share some of the best food in the country with a beloved, book a table at Beatrice and Woodsley. This restaurant focuses on seasonal and local ingredients, so the menu is alway..."

"Sputnik is the place to go in Denver when you want a delicious breakfast or brunch without the meat. The breakfast burrito topped with stewed black beans and vegan cheese is delicious and filling, and the quesadilla with macaroni and “cheese” and a side is tasty, too. You’ll also love the veggie fajita with purple kale topped with avocado, and the Israeli falafel sandwich makes for a satisfying meal as well."

"The location operates as a bar and as a restaurant that doesn’t have a lot of traditional bar food. Instead, this eclectic joint offers more vegetarian and vegan alternatives. You can feast on rice bowls or Israeli falafel while enjoying the perks of a full espresso bar and free Wi-Fi."

"American , Vegetarian"

"The fact that this fast-casual pie parlor was founded by the guys behind Frasca Food & Wine makes its price point all the more surprising: From the famous Mais with ham, corn, and crème fraîche to the Supreme with pepperoni, sausage, onions, and peppers, not one 11-inch option cracks the $10 mark, and on Mondays, Margherita pizzas go for $5. (Three other locations in the Highlands, Central Park, and Hale spread the wealth.)"

"Meta Burger is perfect for those who still might occasionally crave meat but want to stay true to their plant-based lifestyle. An all-vegan restaurant, Meta Burger has a large menu with various burger and sandwich options, all housemade with a soy-based “meat” patty, veggie patty, or “chicken” patty. Their Flatirons burger, topped with shaved brussels sprouts, shallots, grilled mushrooms, and vegan gouda cheese, won Best Burger in America at the Seed & Wine Festival in 2018, and you’ll see why when you order one for yourself!"

"This plant-based burger joint puts a healthy spin on your classic American fast food. To make their burgers, they use soy ground beef from Hungry Planet, which they turn into patties and season in-house. Meta Burger opened in 2018, however, it has already earned much recognition and praise from happy customers."

"MetaBurger now has 2 locations and, LUCKY for us, we live only 10 minutes from their newest location in Edgewater. Their burgers are SO GOOD—and they have a huge variety of toppings and combinations to choose from."

"Great little eat in our out restaurant with character and great brauts and dog options. Also has a tofu option. I had the Reuben with tofu and onion rin..."

"Standing way out from the poké pack, Turtle Boat has endeared itself to Denverites with its decidedly different approach to the Hawaiian sensation. Virtually everything on the menu, except for the fish, is vegan and gluten-free. That includes three alternative proteins—organic tofu and tempeh as well as the house creation, made from ancient grains—served over rice or locally grown mixed greens."

"From the outside, Tarasco's looks like any other taqueria on Federal Boulevard, squat and nondescript, wedged in between auto shops and check cashing stores. It looks like your average taqueria from the inside, too, albeit an especially homey one: yellow and red with lots of colorful folk art—ceramics and masks and humorous signs in Spanish—and souvenir postcards beneath glass-topped tables. But one glance at the menu, and you’ll see things a little differently."

"Since the day this jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring shrine to Japanese cuisine opened in 1985 in Platt Park, diners have waxed poetic, often waiting for hours on the sidewalk to snag a coveted seat in the stunningly appointed space. And it’s easy to see why: Owners and brothers Yasu and Toshi Kizaki source impeccably fresh fish from Japan and then masterfully create painterly mosaics that are as breathtaking to eat as they are to ogle. If you can score stools at the sushi bar, you’ll get dinner and spectacular knife skill theatrics."

"Pearl St. With 4.5 stars out of 1,776 reviews on Yelp, the sushi bar, bar and Japanese spot has proved to be a local favorite."

"Standing way out from the poké pack, Turtle Boat has endeared itself to Denverites with its decidedly different approach to the Hawaiian sensation. Virtually everything on the menu, except for the fish, is vegan and gluten-free. That includes three alternative proteins—organic tofu and tempeh as well as the house creation, made from ancient grains—served over rice or locally grown mixed greens."

"1.7 miles and over 3,400 steps per lap This park is for those of you in the South Denver area. Enjoy lots of grass and a play structure along with an almost 2 mile path."

"Stop by Green Mountain Brewery near Morrison Road and South Kipling Parkway. This neighborhood pub specializes in European and American style craft beers. It’s kid-friendly and dog-friendly, and you’ll often find the outdoor seating area packed with people when the weather’s nice."

"Old 121 Brewhouse is just south of Crazy Mountain off Wadsworth. This neighborhood brewery is a cozy hidden gem with regularly rotating taps. Along with seasonal and experimental beers, Old 121 Brewhouse has a few flagship beers that are always available."
