Kyma offers a plethora of vegan options.
1. YEAH! Burger
This Westside and Va-Hi joint is crafting its own vegan menu, including (of course) a burger of black beans and brown rice, with vegan provolone cheese, avocado, arugula and a vegan bun. 1168 Howell Mill Road, 404.496.4393; 1017 North Highland Ave. NE, 404.437.7845
2. Dough Bakery
Though they offer everything from dairy-free melty queso to breakfast biscuit sandwiches, Candler Park’s Dough Bakery may be best known for their veganized versions of sandwiches like roast beef and chedder and the Cuban. 100 Hurt St. NE, 404.380.1400
3. Kyma
A Buckhead staple, this eatery has the market cornered when it comes to inventive seafood and Mediterranean eats. Lesser known is their substantial menu of mix-and-match vegan apps that create the perfect meal—like eggplant stew, oven-roasted baby beets in a potato-garlic puree, and quinoa with toasted pine nuts, scallions and lemon. 3085 Piedmont Road NE, 404.262.0702
4. Village Pizza
Think pizza’s off the table? Think again: This Cabbagetown pie place will bring you a piping hot slice of their Village Vegan specialty, made with spinach, ‘shrooms, onions, green peppers and soy versions of pepperoni, Italian sausage and cheese. 186 Carroll St. SE, 404.586.0040
5. Green Sprout Vegetarian Cuisine
Nestled on an unassuming strip of Piedmont Avenue, Green Sprout’s mostly vegan menu will satisfy all your Chinese food cravings, from sesame “chicken” and hot and sour soup to Kung Pao and crispy soy “fish” fillet. 1529 Piedmont Ave. NE, 404.874.7373
