Vegan & Vegetarian Dining at Providence Restaurants
If you're one of the growing number of Americans who prefer a plant-based diet, you probably know all the best vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Providence. But did you know that a wide variety of other Providence restaurants also have vegan-friendly options on their menu?
Plant-Friendly Pasta
If you're in the mood for Italian, head to Cassarino's Ristorante on Federal Hill for one of their vegan meatball or Beyond Meat Italian sausage entrees. Or check out Trattoria Appia — their Fungi al Garganelli features house-made pasta with a wild mushroom ragu. Other pasta dishes can be made with a vegan preparation on request.
Meatless Mexican Menus
Also on the Hill, Don Jose Tequila's Restaurant offers great Mexican dishes like veggie enchiladas or veggie burritos, which you can enjoy on their cozy private patio. For more Mexican choices, check out Xaco Taco in the Jewelry District. Their Coliflor Frita Taco (tempura-fried cauliflower) pairs well with any of their vegetarian side dishes. Even better, they have a $3 taco special every day from 3–5 p.m.

Veggie Burgers
You can find a veggie burger at many of Providence's restaurants and bars. We recommend 110 Grill's Beyond Burger, The George's Veggie Burger, and Harry's Bar & Burger's Veggie Black Bean Burger, just to name a few.
Plant-Based Pizzas
Pizza lovers, we haven't forgotten you. Try the Vegan at Flatbread Company or stop by Mother Pizzeria at Track 15 for a slice of their RI Party Pie. And, since most of their beers are vegan-friendly, you can enjoy a 'Gansett and a plant-based Pesto Flatbread on the patio at Narragansett Brewing Company.
