Eating meat-free hasn’t always been easy, but in Fort Worth, it’s a piece of (vegan) cake.
Our local food scene is as vibrant as ever, so it’s no surprise there is a slew of local chefs serving up fresh, vegetarian bites across town. From plant-based pizza to scrumptious vegan tacos, here are 15 restaurants serving up meat-free fare in Cowtown.
Menu items are inspired by blue zones, so take your pick of items like the Panama Bowl — a dragon fruit-and-mango concoction topped with banana and granola. Merge onto the boulevard of fruits and greens with the Venice Boulevard bowl.
The healthy eatery in University Park Village features made-from-scratch meals and customizable options of bowls, wraps, and salads that can be made gluten-free.

I’m not the type you’d usually spot in a hardware store, unless maybe they had cats. Yes — you heard me right. Cats. Which is why Poly Hardware on Vaughn Boulevard just made it onto my to-do list.
