Austin is the most eclectic city in the great state of Texas, so it’s not surprising that vegan food has found a foothold here amidst the taco shops and barbecue restaurants. The Vegan Yacht is a favorite spot among the meat-eschewers of Austin, and their menu offers a bounty of healthy, flavorful food.
The top-selling item here is the “Freeto Burrito,” a pile of organic tempeh chili and corn chips wrapped in a flour tortilla. It’s an awesome take on a Tex-Mex classic that is guaranteed to fill you up. Other favorites include the mock chicken wrap with carrots, avocado and sprouts in a grilled flour tortilla and the organic cold-pressed pineapple kale lemonade, which can quench even the biggest thirst. Portion sizes are said to be enormous, so plan to arrive hungry.
