Until a few years ago, vegan options were usually an afterthought on most restaurant menus. Restaurants provided meat and dairy-free dishes to accommodate vegan diners, but not as much time or thought went into those offerings as the majority of the menu. But as veganism has become more popular and chefs have taken pride in vegan cooking, Omaha’s restaurants have started offering some fantastic vegan options. Here are 8 restaurants that serve incredible vegan-friendly plates.
Veg.Edible
Veg.Edible is serious about food sensitivities and lifestyle choices, as everything that comes out of this kitchen is vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free (except coconut) with soy-free options. With a menu of burgers, melts, tacos, and loaded fries, Veg.edible flips diner classics on their head by using Beyond meat, jackfruit, and tofu chick’n. Plus, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with all kinds of gluten-free baked goods, including owner Stacie Van Cleave’s famous cookies, milkshakes, and cake slices.

Blue & Fly Asian Kitchen
Blue & Fly Asian Kitchen is unique in that the first half of the menu is filled with Americanized Chinese dishes like Mongolian Chicken and Broccoli Beef… but this restaurant really focuses on its traditional Chinese dishes that owner Joe Cong brought with him after starting his chef career in China. These include vegan options like Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Ma Po Tofu, and a delightful Candied Sweet Potato for dessert.

Amsterdam Falafel & Kebab
The menu at Amsterdam Falafel & Kebab might be small, but the flavor is not! The falafel (balls of ground chickpeas that are breaded and fried) are crispy, salty, and delicious, and you can get them served on a salad, on a plate with hummus, or stuffed inside a pita with one of Amsterdam’s four signature vegan sauces.
