Veggie Restaurants in Eugene!



I was surprised to find out that there are actually quite a few vegetarian/vegan friendly restaurants in Eugene and they're good!

Oh yea and fun fact!-- Portland, OR has the most vegetarian/vegan friendly restaurants in the country!

Here's a Few Fully Vegetarian/Vegan Places:

  • Cornbread Cafe (1290 W 7th Ave, Eugene, Oregon)-All vegan
    • I love this place, it is a vegan soul food restaurant, they have really good "philly cheese steaks", "fried chicken", and "french dips"
  • Garbanzo Grill (Food cart outside Ninkasi)
    • I just tried them and they have amazing veggie burgers! They use a really good vegan sauce and caramelized onions...yum!-Mostly Vegan
  • Lotus Garden (810 Charnelton St, Eugene, Oregon)-All vegan
    • This is a chinese place, I haven't been here yet but its on my list. They have "fried shrimp" and of course chow mien and different "breaded chicken"
  • Viva Vegetarian Grill (Food Cart-12th Ave & Willamette St, Eugene, Oregon)-All vegan
    • This is another one I haven't been to so I'm not sure how it is
  • Govinda's Vegetarian Buffet (1030 River Rd, Eugene, Oregon)
    • I was surprised to find out that it is mostly indian food, but it actually was quite good and also has a salad bar. It was also very cheap!
  • Morning Glory Cafe (450 Willamette St, Eugene, Oregon)
    • I've only had breakfast here and they make their own soysage, but I wasn't a huge fan of the taste- it tasted like gingerbread, but everything else was good.
  • Pizza Research Institute (530 Blair St, Eugene, Oregon)
    • Really good vegan and vegetarian pizza! It also has a lot of live music and good drafts.
Here's a Few, More Than Vegetarian Friendly Restaurants (I say more than because now days almost all restaurants have vegetarian friendly options)
  • PrimeTime Bar (1360 Mohawk Blvd  Springfield, OR )
    • I only put this on there because that have a really good house made veggie burger! surprising right?
  • Holy Cow Cafe (2222 E 13th St, Eugene, Oregon )
    • Haven't tried this one yet but it does serve meat but has many vegetarian alternatives as well
  • Go Healthy Cafe (3802 W 11th Ave, Eugene, Oregon )
    • Really fresh and delicious food like quesadillas, burritos, bowls, salads, and has tempeh and tofu substitutes
  • Laughing Planet (760 Blair Blvd, Eugene, Oregon )
    • Mostly burritos and bowls etc. and they are good! they also have tempeh and tofu substitutes and also probably one of the best cesear salads I've ever had and its vegetarian!(vegan without the cheese)
  • Cornicopia Bar (207 E 5th Ave Eugene, OR)
    • Has multiple vegetarian/vegan options and a really good black bean quinoa burger topped with salsa and guac yum! They also have live music
  • Cafe Yumm! (many locations)
    • Good bowls and wraps
  • Keystone Cafe (395 W 5th Ave Eugene, OR)
    • Haven't been here yet but it has breakfast along with other things and many vegetarian alternatives
-Those are the ones that I'm most aware of, but they're all good and even if your not veggie you should try them!!

  1. The Holy Cow Cafe on campus is 100% vegetarian and has been for the last 16 years.. The restaurant on Willamette is a flexitarian restaurant with some chicken and fish choices of the best quality and local too. But is still mostly vegan. And all organic and local. The real deal.
