Creative vegan comfort food with huge portions and cocktails
"A Las Vegas–based vegan comfort-food concept targeting a Royal Oak location, known for indulgent, deep-fried plant-based skillet dishes like faux “chicken” and “Philly Cheesesteak” that have drawn both excitement and playful concern about their heavy, heartburn-inducing nature." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Plant-based diners can get their fill of vegan fare at the Modern Vegan, a trendy, brightly lit destination for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With vegan Buffalo ranch chicken wraps, cheesy fries, and vegan burgers loaded with pesto and avocado, the Modern Vegan specializes in comfort food meals and hangover fare. And it’s open until 10 p.m. for grabbing cocktails, beer, and kombucha." - Janna Karel
"Conveniently located for UNLV students with an extensive menu, this trendy vegan restaurant does brunch right with vegan poutine, plant-based mac and cheese balls, and french toast bacon grilled cheese. Lunch is also served with giant burgers, buddha bowls, and even a vegan lobster roll, and for dessert try the “Holy Hell,” which is peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, or deep-fried banana bread." - Katie Swalm
"Located about a mile from the new downtown-style venture, this all-vegan restaurant is back open daily and offers dine-in, curbside pickup, and carryout service from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It serves as the original project of the restaurateur couple now expanding to the eastside and is positioned near the intersection of Naples and University Center Drive." - Bradley Martin
"A new vegan spot serving breakfast, lunch and brunch with a massive menu of roughly 100 dishes, open Thursday through Monday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Located across from the Double Down Saloon and sharing a parking lot with a 7-Eleven, it offers a wide range of price points and themed drinks — $7 12-ounce smoothies named for Strip hotels, $4 12-ounce milkshakes (add protein for $2), $4 wellness shots, $8 fresh-pressed juices, and $9 cocktails. Starters (about $10) include breakfast potato skins, cheddar bites, Canadian poutine, avocado toast, and stuffed deep-fried tomatoes. Breakfast mains such as vegan eggs Florentine, biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles, skillets, omelets, waffles, pancakes, and crepes generally run around $14, while lunch features fish tacos, green coconut curry, spaghetti and meatballs, penne primavera, $13 sandwiches and burgers, and $8 soups — overall a casual, value-oriented destination for plant-based comfort food." - Susan Stapleton
