If you’ ve previously dismissed veggie-based foods, it might be time to take another look. In the last few years, consumer interest in plant-based eating has shot skyward, with products like chickpea puffs and quinoa crisps infiltrating supermarkets and 100-percentplant restaurants taking off nationwide. Of course, Baltimore is no exception. This city has long had a strong vegan presence underscored by two major annual events— Vegan Restaurant Week( typically held in February and August) and Vegan SoulFest( typically held in August).
From dairy-free creameries to farm-to-table food stalls, it’ s easy to eat meat-free in Charm City. Check out some of our favorite spots below, where the POV on vegan and plant-based dishes is less crunchy, more creative.

A smattering of small plates and a selection of organic, sustainable wines round out the offerings. Located in Baltimore’ s iconic Inner Harbor, Double Zero is the perfect place to end a day of exploring the National Aquarium, paddle boating on the water or taking a scenic Water Taxi ride. 414 Light St.
