Chicago restaurant recommendation. Went to The Warbler last night and while their menu is omni, there were tons of vegetarian options.

  1. I sure wish more restaurants were like that. You’re lucky to see a veggie burger around here. That grilled tofu and butternut squash falafel look tempting.

  2. This looks very good, but, isn’t it also pretty normal? At least where I live, the amount of vegetarian options in any good restaurant is pretty similar to this.

    Love this! I hate when Italian restaurants have meat pre-added to pasta dishes

  4. This looks pretty normal to me. I mean unless you’re at a steak house or something. I would’ve expected a big city like Chicago to have restaurants that cater to vegetarians. My city is no where near that size and our options are awesome.

  5. Quesadilla on western! All the soy based meats you can imagine, the carnitas are so good. Hours are weird sometimes so call and make sure they will be open before you make the trek.

  6. The vegetarian entrees that aren’t just a veg burger are great – although also what the fk they’re charging $4 more for tofu than a meat burger that’s obnoxious

    Ask about that soup, often soups sound vegetarian yet are made with a chicken base or broth

  7. Purple Pig is also fantastic. Great for carnivores and veggies both, had some of the most delicious broccoli I’ve eaten in my life.

    It looks good. Unless my omni spouse wanted to go there, I’d probably skip that place, though. The first thing I look for when going to a restaurant, especially in a city like Chicago, is proper labeling for veg/food allergies. There are so many options out there, not sure why they won’t add a V or GF to their menu if items meet that criteria.

  9. Not sure I’d ever feel good about giving money to an omni restaurant unless there was no other option, and I feel like in a big city like Chicago there’s always a better option.

  10. Not Chicago but Winnetka (suburb 35 minutes north) has this very good vegetarian place called spirit elephant. Definitely worth a try!
