Our local food scene is as vibrant as ever, so it’s no surprise there are a slew of local chefs serving up fresh, vegetarian bites across town. From juices to scrumptious salads, here are 18 restaurants serving up meat-free fare in Greenville.

Casual bites

Southern Pressed Juicery, Multiple locations | Our fave is the Dragon’s Blood Bowl — or if you prefer something warm, order the Pad Thai Zoodles.

Pita House, 495 S. Pleasantburg Dr. | Try this: Vegetarian Plate — a combination of hummos, falafel, baba ghannouge, and tabouli salad. Be sure to bring cash — Pita House doesn’t accept credit or debit cards.

We Got the Beets, Food truck | Try this: Sushi Sandwich — jackfruit with savory hoisin sauce and coleslaw, mixed with rice and wrapped up in a sushi roll. We can roll with this.

For the vegan carnivore

Farm Fresh Fast, Multiple locations | Vegetarians, vegans, and herbivores will be happy here.

Sun Belly Cafe, 1409 W. Blue Ridge Dr., Ste. 2905 | Healthy meal prep made daily — featuring a selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. The colorful summer dishes look *chef’s kiss.*

Adventurous eater

Purple International Bistro & Sushi, 933 S. Main St. | Believe it or not, vegetarian and vegan sushi is out there, and it’s delicious. Bite into the vegetable rolls.

Aryana, 210 E. Coffee St. | Aryana has a designated vegan and vegetarian section on the menu for lunch and dinner. Plus, there are a few offerings you can make vegetarian by removing an item.

Comfort food

Cantina 76, 103 N. Main St. | Try this: The veggie taco — with veggie refried beans, pico, lettuce, grilled onions, cheese, and chipotle ranch. Make it vegan by opting out of the cheese and ranch.

Naked Vegan, 311A McAlister Rd. | This spot offers Southern comfort food without the meat.
