I wanted to get my sister a gift certificate for the best vegetarian meal that she could have in the Washington, DC area. Price is not an issue. Any suggestions? It does not have to be a vegetarian only restaurant, she just needs to be able to order something off of the menu.Best vegetarian food in the Washington, DC area?
Sunflower in Vienna and Falls Church is top notch!
The Vegetable Garden in Rockville is pretty good, and so is Yuan Fu, just a couple miles north of there. I like Vegetable Garden because 1) it's across the street from a Metro station and 2) it has a great $16.99 meal deal. I like Yuan Fu because 1) the menu is far more extensive and creative and 2) they have a wonderful sizzling rice soup. Both are all vegetarian restaurants.
There's also a fairly new place in Arlington called Toscana Green, which is not all veg, but does have vegan options, which are clearly marked on the menu. I just ate there today with my boyfriend, and it's the sort of place where I would want to have a special meal. It's right near the Court House Metro station.
Sunflower (in Falls Church and in Vienna) is also a good place.
In DC, there's an Indian place called Nirvana near the Farragut North and West stations. It's an all-veg place.
It's not at all fancy, but there's a vegan bakery/cafe called Sticky Fingers near Columbia Heights. They have some really good cupcakes, and it's good for a really casual meal. I wouldn't call it the best, but it is pretty good for what it is.
Hope this helps.Best vegetarian food in the Washington, DC area?
Along with the very good suggestions above, do check out Upudi Palace in Takoma Park, Maryland for vegetarian Indian cuisine and Java Green (1020 19th Street NW and who will reported be opening a second restaurant on 17th Street NW). Sadly, the high-end Vegetate (1414 9th Street NW) is closing.
For dedicated vegan restaurants, Crystal Vegetarian is the best in the Washington, DC area. It's located by Seven Corners in Falls Church, VA, just off Route 50.
