Orlando Restaurants Serving Vegan and Plant-Based: My Dining Wish-List
Eating plant-based in Orlando is not as hard as I thought it would be. Orlando is on trend when it comes to plant-based dining, with whole restaurants serving only dairy-free vegan foods.
Other restaurants serve a happy mix of vegan and non-vegan since often not everyone at the table eats vegan or has dairy allergies. Or for whatever reason, not everyone has the exact same food needs. Or tastes.
And even fast food places and chains offer Impossible meats and at least one plant-based option. (Even if it’s veggie only.)
Here is my list of restaurants I’ve targeted as my top plant-based places. I haven’t visited them all just yet, but I’m slowly working my way through, with fork, camera, and pen in hand! (And a trusty book by my side.)
Vegan restaurants
Bolay, Winter Park
Dandelion Community (or sometimes Communitea) Cafe
Dixie Dharma, Orlando
Ethos Vegan Kitchen, Winter Park

And in a class of its own, Walt Disney World, which has added 400 plant-based items to menus throughout the Florida parks and resorts. And then topped that by adding Impossible to its menus, too.
Solo Dining
I’ve always seen eating out as a treat, either with people or by myself. I do both, but there’s something unique about taking yourself out to eat with no other company than a good book. I like it so much I wrote a short story about it. And I automatically scope out each eatery for good solo dining comfort.
I’m sure these lists are incomplete. Comment below if I left your favorite off. Or let me know of any new ones about to open.
