Vegan Catering in Minneapolis & St. Paul

Brasa Premium Rotisserie is a vegan-friendly Southern and Creole restaurant at 600 E Hennepin Ave in Northeast Minneapolis, with a second location in St. Paul, priced at $$. While known for rotisserie meats, Brasa's vegetable sides and plant-based options are destination-worthy on their own. The yams with bourbon and brown sugar, collard greens, corn maque choux, and black-eyed peas are all prepared without meat products (confirm when ordering). Build a vegetable plate of any three sides for a satisfying meal. The cornbread is phenomenal. Perfect for dining with mixed groups.

Everest on Grand is a vegan-friendly Indian, Nepali, and Tibetan restaurant at 1278 Grand Ave in Saint Paul's Summit-University neighborhood, priced at $$. The menu spans three culinary traditions with abundant vegetarian options. Start with momos stuffed with cabbage and ginger, or try katahar -- young, green jackfruit buds with potatoes and spices. The vegetable thukpa (Tibetan noodle soup with snap peas) is comforting perfection. A whole roster of vegetarian curries pairs beautifully with warm naan or roti. The Grand Avenue location is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a winter evening meal.

Himalayan Restaurant on Lake Street delves into Indian, Nepalese, and Tibetan cuisine with extensive vegetarian offerings. Start with kothe—steamed momos that are pan-fried and served with savory tomato-cilantro chutney. The chana masala and creamy Kathmandu curry are standouts, best paired with aloo paratha or extra-buttery naan. Save room for desserts like kheer (rice pudding) and mango pudding. The warm, family-run atmosphere and generous portions keep the neighborhood coming back.

Lulu EthioVegan is a 100% vegan Ethiopian restaurant at 12 E Franklin Ave in Minneapolis's Elliot Park neighborhood, serving plant-based interpretations of traditional Ethiopian dishes at $$ prices. Chef TG Feyisa brings heart, heritage, and serious culinary skill to her exclusively vegan Ethiopian restaurant. Traditional dishes are reimagined with plant-based ingredients: beef tibs become tender rosemary mushrooms with peppers, doro wot transforms into crispy shimbra asa (chickpeas in berbere sauce). The sampler platters are perfect for sharing, featuring sambusa (lentil-filled pastries), foule (crushed fava beans), and hearty lentil stews. Everything is scooped up with airy injera flatbread. The cozy Franklin Avenue spot is ideal for sipping ginger tea or telba (Ethiopian flaxseed drink).

Lutunji Abrams is best known for her peach cobbler, and her vegan version with flaky coconut oil crust is equally sumptuous. This Elliot Park bakery specializes in all kinds of vegan treats, many of them gluten-free: coconut macaroons, cashew milk ice cream, and Oreo 'cheezecake.' Savory options include plant-based omelets and croissant sandwiches. Lutunji's warmth and dedication to craft shine through in every bite. A hidden gem that deserves more attention.

Grand Avenue's beloved Mediterranean kitchen serves filling vegetarian fare that satisfies meat-eaters and plant-lovers alike. The falafel here is hard to beat—crispy exterior, fluffy interior, perfectly spiced. The roasted veggie bowl is a close second, heaped with zucchini, squash, cauliflower, chickpeas, and red peppers on fragrant saffron rice. Don't skip the hummus, especially the 'fancy' version topped with fried chickpeas and a drizzle of olive oil. Casual atmosphere, generous portions, fair prices.

The Herbivorous Butcher is a fully vegan butcher shop and deli at 507 1st Ave NE in Northeast Minneapolis, open Tuesday through Sunday, selling handcrafted plant-based meats, artisan vegan cheeses, and ready-made deli sandwiches. It made history in 2016 as America's first vegan butcher shop, founded by siblings Aubry and Kale Walch. The Korean BBQ ribs are the most-ordered item: smoky, tender, and convincing enough to convert skeptics. The Italian sausage snaps with a proper casing bite and works in pasta, pizza, or grilled on a bun. On the cheese side, the aged cheddar is sharp and crumbly, the havarti melts clean, and the pepperjack delivers real heat. The deli counter serves ready-made sandwiches -- the Italian sub with house-made salami and provolone is the Northeast favorite. Q: Is The Herbivorous Butcher fully vegan? A: Yes, 100%. Every product in the shop -- meats, cheeses, sandwiches, and grab-and-go items -- is completely plant-based and animal-free. Q: What should I order at The Herbivorous Butcher? A: First-timers should try the Korean BBQ Ribs and the Italian Sub. For cheese, the aged cheddar and havarti are the top sellers. The deli counter is the fastest way to eat on-site. Q: Is The Herbivorous Butcher open on Sundays? A: Yes, Sundays 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Tuesday through Saturday hours are 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Closed Mondays.

Trio Plant-Based is the first Black-owned, 100% plant-based soul food restaurant in Minneapolis. Founded by Louis Hunter after six years on West Lake Street, Trio relocated to Midtown Global Market (920 E Lake St) in March 2026 and is now part of the East Court food hall. The menu is rooted in comfort: buffalo mac & cheese, slow-cooked collard greens, jackfruit barbecue ribs, and hearty burgers and wraps — all fully plant-based. This is the kind of soul food that doesn't require compromise; every dish is built to satisfy. Trio has always stood for more than food — it's grounded in resilience, community, and healing, values that Louis Hunter has centered from the start. Midtown Global Market is a vibrant multicultural food hall at the heart of the Lake Street corridor. Trio fits right in: accessible, community-focused, and one of the most meaningful vegan spots in the city.
