Stone Soup
Stone Soup, on College Street, is definitely not a run-of-the-mill vegan restaurant. Stone Soup offers a weigh-your-plate buffet as well as a dine-in vegan and vegetarian menu. From maple-glazed tofu to squash soup and home-made bread, vegan and vegetarian food options at Stone Soup are flavorful and intriguing. Choose from a vegetable shepherd's pie, several Indian dishes, a turkey melt, or just load up on the greens at the salad bar. Portions are plentiful and are sure to fuel you up for your next mountain hiking adventure. Word to the wise, though: Stone Soup only takes cash, so leave your plastic at home.

Bueno Y Sano
Although not a restaurant completely devoted to vegan dining, Bueno Y Sano, also conveniently located on College Street, makes vegan dining with your non-vegan friends a cinch. They roll up generous-sized burritos with the typical fillings of chicken and steak, but vegan options include fillings such as grilled portobello mushrooms, fresh spinach and garlic, and chickpea with red curry. You can also cross cultural boundaries by trying the East/West Burrito filled with stir-fry vegetables, rice and tofu complete with home-made Asian plum sauce drizzled on top. Delivery and pick-up are available, so for those on the go, south-of-the-border vegan dining is made easy.
