Coal-fired pizza with a serious crust and creative toppings. Black Sheep offers vegan cheese on any pizza and has vegetable-forward options that shine without meat. The char from the coal oven adds incredible flavor. Try the seasonal vegetable pizza or build your own with their quality toppings. The North Loop location has industrial character with exposed brick and an open kitchen. Multiple locations serve the same quality pies. Great for groups with mixed dietary needs.

A burger-focused restaurant that takes its vegan option seriously. Red Cow's Impossible Burger is cooked perfectly and served with the same care as their beef burgers. Truffle fries, salads, and appetizers round out the vegan offerings. Multiple locations across the metro maintain consistent quality. The North Loop spot has a sleek, modern atmosphere perfect for after-work drinks. A great choice when dining with meat-eaters—everyone finds something to love.

North Loop ramen shop with an excellent vegetable-based ramen option. The Veggie Ramen features a rich mushroom broth, perfectly chewy noodles, roasted vegetables, and tofu. Yakitori skewers include vegetable options—the charred shiitake mushrooms are exceptional. Small plates like edamame and pickled vegetables round out the meal. The cozy space gets packed, but solo diners can snag bar seats. Perfect for a warming bowl on a cold Minneapolis evening.
