Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

At Le Cellier, I had a good pumpkin or squash ravioli there once. Again, their vegetarian entrees are seasonal, so it's worth checking ahead ... and often. This last time, I had the poutine (shared) and a salad. That plus the bread was enough for me. It's not health food, but it was good.

Glad to know the poutine at Le Cellier is vegetarian (I'm assuming you checked with the chef). In most places I've been the gravy is made with beef/beef stock making it non-vegetarian and I'd love to try it.

I think it's a stylized, foodie poutine. No gravy (at least not the way I think of "gravy"). Here's the description from the menu:

Le Cellier Poutine Fries - Canadian Cheddar, black truffle and red wine reduction $9.00

And no, I didn't check with the chef. I tend to "let it go" a bit when I'm on vacation. I can tell you it tasted very jammy and wine-y and not at all beefy, but I don't know beyond that.

Here's a pic: http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Poutine-500x333.jpg

According to this, the reduction is not vegetarian, though I don't know what it contains. http://www.disneyhipsters.com/2013/03/le-celier-quinoa-potato-cake.html

To go one step further, I don't know if the cheddar is vegetarian. I do look for non-animal-rennet cheeses at home (Seaside is a favorite), but again, I tend "let it go" a bit when on vacation.

Apologies if I misled anyone.

At HDDR as long as it is noted on your reservation you don't need to call ahead. They have a standard plate of pasta and veggies but they are also flexible since they stock lots of foods for the buffet at Trails End. They made me my own salad, stir fry squash, and a baked potato on our last visit in addition to the items I could eat from their regular menu.

I recently booked HDDR for our August trip (booked online) - do I just call the regular Disney dining phone number to have a note put on our reservation?

Also, do you happen to know what options they may have for a vegetarian child? My DD6 might eat the pasta & veggie plate, but my DD2 won't touch any type of noodle. (Or will they not offer anything different for the 2yo since technically she's supposed to share from the adult's plate?)

Is it possible to get vegetable enchiladas at la Cantina de San Angel?

Is it possible to get vegetable enchiladas at la Cantina de San Angel?

The Cantina is quick service, and I don't see enchiladas on the menu at all.

So, I doubt, but I'd love it if someone would post here and say that I'm wrong!

At San Angel Inn, I did have a vegetarian platter or something like that once, and I *think* it may have had an enchilada on it. That was years ago, though. I would think they'd be better equipped to prepare something like that, though.

At the Cantina, I had the cheese empanada once. It was just ok.

You have picked great places!

At Cali Grille - DON'T order the vegetarian entree - order the "Vegetarian Unplugged". Let them know he's not into mushrooms or whatever. The chefs will give you various side dishes or creations - 4 of them. Super fun. My server actually recommended that over the listed entree. It is not on the menu, but it well known. I am so self-conscious, that I was nervous to mention it. I needn't have worried. They won't bat an eyelash.

I did not have great luck at Cali Grill ordering the Vegetarian Unplugged light on the mushrooms. I don't really care for mushrooms - I will eat around them if there's just a few, but I don't like them to be the bulk of the dish (which for a vegetarian, they sometimes are.) I got a Veg Unplugged dish with mushrooms in (I think) 3 of the 4 items. However, our server also got my drink and salad order wrong that trip, so maybe she just never communicated my mushroom dislike to the kitchen, now that I think about it...

I am 100% with you on the mushroom thing! So sorry that happened to you. I don't think mine had any mushrooms.

While we were at Universal last week we went over to Sanaa for dinner one night (Universal closed early for Gradventure and I'm staying at AKV in October). Just wanted to say it is definitely an awesome experience for vegetarians and vegans (my omni mom also enjoyed it). They have separate vegan and vegetarian menus and the waitstaff and host/hostess were very well trained in the different dietary needs and ingredients. Told them that I was a vegetarian at check in and they had the separate menu when seated. The waitress then said there had been some recent changes to the menu so if I had questions she would go check. They did not offer to bring out a chef but it would have been completely unnecessary given the separate menu and waitress's knowledge and helpfulness.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I recently read that the spaghetti and meatless meatballs are no longer vegan at 50's prime time café. Apparently they now have egg in it.

 

[sleepymouse]

Is the vegetable burger at SciFi any good? What is it made of? I would love to take the kids here for the experience but am not excited about the menu. Thinking we should maybe just do dessert there.

Where did you read it?

 

[lauracitawita]

Where did you read it?

It was a twitter post by @vegdisneyworld

They posted a pic of the regular menu and a pic of the allergy menu. It's on the allergy menu, but it says it's not ok for people with egg allergies.

Anyone have pany thoughts on the veggie items at the Wave?

My wife (vegetarian) really liked the curry at The Wave. We are eating their again on our trip this coming October, along with Boma, 'Ohana, Chefs de France, Via Napoli and Raglan Road.

My dad and I are vegetarians and my mom is vegan. I'm trying to decide on ADR's. Between Boma, Kona, and the Wave, what do people think is better for breakfast? And between the Wave and Kona, what do people think is better for dinner? I really had a good experience at the Wave the last time I was there for dinner. In addition to the vegetarian curry on the menu, they said they could make any of the entrees for me using tofu instead of the listed protein. And the tofu was well cooked and well seasoned, which can be hard to find. So I'm wondering if we should do that again for dinner or branch out and try Kona.

 

[bumbershoot]

Well, at the Wave for breakfast they will make the grits without the bacon in it. Since Tillamook is almost 100% safe for (ovo lacto) vegetarians, that would be good for you and your dad. (only one cheese with animal rennet from Tillamook and it's not the one they use in the grits) Not sure about for your mom, though. As an ovo-lacto who doesn't like to stuff herself with Tonga Toast anymore, I prefer the Wave over Boma and Kona.

This is wonderful news, and I'll be adding the Wave to our ADRs now. We're pescatarians, but eat mostly vegetarian.

I did not know this, and we live about 2-3 hours from the Tillamook Cheese factory. Interesting, thank you.

I was vegan the last time we went to Kona for breakfast and had vegan mickey waffles with fruit. Personally, I don't get the Kona hype.

I'd say Boma for breakfast and the Wave for dinner.

Boma is great with vegetarian/vegans for either breakfast or dinner, so I would definitely do it one of the two.

Great feedback, thanks! I currently have a breakfast ADR at Boma and a dinner ADR at Kona. So I think I'll just switch out the Kona dinner for dinner at the Wave.

I would definitely go with the Wave for dinner. We were at WDW in April and Kona for dinner, which used to be a favorite, was one of the worst meals I had that week - greasy noodles and tasteless tofu and because one person in our group requested only broccoli and onions in her stir fry, that is all the rest of us got. I will not be back. The Wave was quite good, way better than Kona. The Wave also has a great vegan lunch option with their tofu wrap - one of the best lunches I had the whole week we were there.

That's unfortunate about your dinner at Kona, thanks for the heads up!
