Vegan Restaurants in Denver (2025)
Watercourse Foods
Vegan restaurant · North Capitol Hill
Since 1998, Watercourse Foods has been Denver’s plant-based standard-bearer, turning comfort classics vegan with real craft. Recognized by PETA as a city-defining staple, it pairs a full bar with scratch desserts and a community-first vibe.
City O' City
Vegetarian restaurant · Capitol Hill
Capitol Hill’s daytime-to-late spot where everything defaults vegan—think seitan wings, BBQ mac wraps, and lion’s mane katsu. The menu makes the plant-based focus clear, and its role as a gathering place keeps it woven into Denver’s culture.
Somebody People
Restaurant · Overland
A stylish South Broadway essential for fully vegan, Mediterranean-leaning plates and natural wines. Praised by 5280 and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, its weekly Sunday Supper tasting menu captures the kitchen’s creativity and fan-favorite desserts.
Wellness Sushi
Japanese restaurant · City Park
Denver’s first fully plant-based sushi shop reimagines classics with konjac shrimp, eggplant “unagi,” and rich ramen. Lauded on Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat and covered by local news, it’s a standout for technique and originality.
Bang Up To The Elephant
Vegan restaurant · Capitol Hill
A tropical, 100% plant-based playground serving Caribbean-leaning plates and cocktails. A Westword favorite for years, and BusinessDen recently noted the restaurant’s continued growth—proof this independently owned spot remains a Capitol Hill original.
Vegan Van
Vegan restaurant · Park Hill
From food-truck cult favorite to daily service, this Latinx-owned spot slings scratch-made crunchwraps, seitan breakfast sandwiches, and monthly pizza nights. Included in Westword’s vegan guide, it’s fast-casual comfort with serious local love.
Gladys Restaurant
Restaurant · Spivak
Chef-driven, seasonal vegan small plates from former Fruition chefs, now expanded into a full-service space at Edgewater Public Market. Officially reopened in July 2025, it remains a metro favorite for thoughtful, local produce‑driven cooking.
Town Hall Collaborative
Bar · Baker
From The Easy Vegan team, this fixed patio stand serves regionally inspired vegan hot dogs and Italian ice. Covered by Westword and rooted in community events, it’s a fun, casual stop on a Denver plant-based crawl.
