vegan friendly in grand rapids

This might give you a start.

 

Spot on with vegangr.com. Brick road pizza is the best place ever so if you're in the mood for a pie that's where you need to go. We love Grayson's crossing too that has a good selection of items that can be prepared vegan as well.

 

Brick road has sucked pretty hard the last few times I've eaten there. Picture soggy oily uncooked tofu on crust. It has been great at different times too but not recently. They do often have great beers on tap.

Both Bartertown and Cult Pizza do a much better job of vegan fare and food in general IMO. The guy who wrote the brick road menu left to open bartertown, and where I feel like often the cooks at brick road don't give a shit what they put out at bt and cp standards are higher. Both are local farm to table too. They don't serve beer but will let you bring bottles in. If I was you I'd hit up marthas or Sicilianos beforehand, check out the two places menus (they're right by eachother on Jefferson) and pick whichever sounds better.

If you want good food, go to bt or cp, if you want good drafts go to brickroad.

 

http://happycow.net I use this whenever I am out to find vegan or vegatarian restaurants. Also you can you use barnivore.com to see if certain beers are vegan or vegatarian. I hope this helps.

 

The Electric Cheetah is a great choice! It is right by Brick Road Pizza so if you cannot pick you can get take out and head to the Meanwhile next door. I do not believe they open until 4:00 so it would not be a Lunch. There is also a great Thai place across from Meanwhile so you have a big variety of vegan food and good beer within a few blocks!

Stella's Lounge had some vegan choices when we were there a few months back. And it's pretty close to all those Short's taps at Pyramid Scheme.

 

Cherry Street Deli is right across the street from Brewery Vivant. With as good as the food is at Vivant, I am equally as happy to eat at Cherry St, damn good sandwiches.
