I have been a vegetarian for a while now. By “a while,” I mean before it was cool or trendy. In other words, WAY before you could find vegetarian recipe reels on social media.
At the beginning of my vegetarian journey, eating out was difficult at best. Now, thanks to many celebrities embracing the plant-based lifestyle, it is more mainstream. Thankfully, more vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants are popping up in our area.
Here is a list of some of my favorite vegetarian-friendly restaurants in the Pensacola area.

Try Something New
Even if you aren’t a vegetarian, I encourage you to try some of the dishes these amazing restaurants offer. I have been introduced to so many different types of cuisine through my plant-based diet.
I would love to hear from other local vegetarians about your favorite go-to restaurants in our area!
I need to do a girl’s night and check out End of the Line again! I love that place and haven’t been in years. Great article with some great local eats.
Do you know of any restaurants that offer organic plant based foods?
I have been diagnosed with cancer and am choosing not to do chemotherapy, but to change my way of eating. So far it has made me feel so good, but would love to go out and be served food sometimes!
