And for vegans and vegetarians, we’ve got you totally covered. Here’s where you can find some of the tastiest vegan and vegetarian food in Western Montana.
MISSOULA
Veera Donuts
This eccentric, all-vegan doughnut shop on Missoula’s Hip Strip is hip to flavor. The doughnuts are so good even non-vegans approve. You can’t go wrong with The Veera (the housemade French toast doughnut), but with over two dozen options, you’re in doughnut heaven no matter what. You’ll also find gourmet pop tarts, scrumptious breakfast sandwiches and local coffee.
The Green Source
Also on Missoula’s Hip Strip, embrace the green life at The Green Source, doing their part to make Missoula a healthier, more vibrant community with 100% organic smoothies, fresh-pressed juices, raw, live food made with local ingredients, energy bowls, coffee drinks and more. Try the Buddha Bowl with a Flathead Cherry Smoothie or some fresh-pressed “Glow” juice.
Five on Black
Quick and delicious, build your own Brazilian bowl at Five on Black. Pick out your base of rice and/or greens, grilled veggies, sides and sauce—like the spicy coconut or mango barbecue—and sit back and savor. With two locations, one in downtown Missoula and one on the South Side, convenience is covered.
Masala
Nosh some seriously authentic and seriously delicious Indian flavors paired with local ingredients at Masala. Choose your own adventure with rotating curries and vegan mainstays like chana masala, dal and vegetable korma over a bed of brown rice, white rice or kale—and don’t forget the chutney and naan.
The Top Hat
The Top Hat mixes local flavor with local music, and their menu caters to everyone, including the dairy free, gluten free, vegans and vegetarians.
