What is the best vegan restaurant in Seattle?

Harvest Beat if you want a tasting-menu experience built from local produce, Sushi Samurai if you want precise Japanese food made without fish.

Where can I get a vegetarian brunch in Seattle?

Cafe Flora in Madison Valley has kept a proper vegetarian dining room going for decades, and The Wayward Cafe in Roosevelt does vegan brunch classics.

Is there vegan sushi in Seattle?

Yes. Sushi Samurai on Queen Anne is fully plant-based and treats rolls and nigiri seriously.

Do I need to be vegan to use this Seattle guide?

No. The guide is plant-forward, not plant-only. Order what you like, but the vegetables here can stand on their own.

Gillian McKeith's guide to healthy restaurants in Seattle.

Written by Gillian McKeith

Seattle is not a place I expected to become a stronghold for plant-based eating, but the Pacific Northwest has always taken food seriously, and now it shows.

Harvest Beat does a proper five-course plant-based tasting menu, sourcing from local farms and foragers. Cafe Flora has kept a Madison Valley vegetarian dining room going for over thirty years. The Wayward Cafe in Roosevelt serves all-day vegan comfort food, Sushi Samurai on Queen Anne proves fish-free sushi can be precise, and Moe Vegan brings soul food to the plant-based table.

My standard is the same here as everywhere else: real ingredients, mostly plants, organic where it is possible, and no money changing hands for a listing.

I'm Gillian McKeith: television presenter, creator of the global hit show You Are What You Eat, writer, nutritionist, and the editor behind this guide.

I judge kitchens on the things that actually matter: real ingredients, honest sourcing, vegetables cooked with care, and food you feel better for eating.

Nothing on this page is a paid placement. Restaurants cannot buy a recommendation, and any listing marked as sponsored is labelled as such. If a kitchen slips, it comes out of the guide.
