Vegan meals aren’t all celery sticks and tofu. The best vegan fare can fool—or convert—meat eaters, but they require creativity, versatility, bravery. That’s what you’ll find at Native Foods Café. Founded in Palm Springs in 1994, the chain is now America’s top fast-casual vegan restaurant, serving fresh and memorable international cuisine. From tempeh and seitan to cheese, sauces, drinks, dressings, and desserts, everything is totally plant-based, made fresh daily. Locals find it hard to pick favorites from the big menu, so check the site and drop in for a new perspective on vegan cooking. You’ll find slick, modern tastes for the whole family.
Prices are a bit higher than comparable restaurants, but that reflects the fresh ingredients and from-scratch process. Service is top-notch.
