There may be hundreds of Rhode Island restaurants but only a handful that cater specifically to vegan diners. If you are a Rhode Island vegan or are traveling through Rhode Island, don't feel lost in your quest for food. A number of options exist for you where you will not have to feel uncomfortable asking about ingredients and other details associated with your eating choices.
Crazy Burger
Don't be fooled by the name. Relax at this beachside shack and watch the waves roll in as you enjoy a selection of fresh vegan dishes. Crazy Burger also serves a lengthy list of fresh juices. Soy milkshakes, tofu scrambles and pancakes are popular vegan options. Locals will even tell you to try the vegan quesadilla if they are not vegans themselves. That particular dish has developed quite a cult following. Take your non-vegan friends to Crazy Burger. This restaurant caters to everyone in a fun and clean atmosphere.

Melanie's Vegan Eden
Melanie's Vegan Eden is a totally vegan restaurant that you can enjoy with friends and family. It even takes the care to set out toys and games for kids to keep busy with. Try a large variety of mock meat dishes in a thriving environment that is small yet cozy at the same time. There may be long waits on weekend evenings, but many will tell you that the wait is worth your time.
One interesting fact about Melanie's is that it claims to serve "the best vegan cheesecake in the universe." Locals and tourists have written about this unique dessert online and in many food magazines.
