Chicago, IL
Best Vegan in Chicago.
Harry's top 10 vegan spots in Chicago score 65–87 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$$.
Harry judges vegan food as food, not as an apology for something else. The kitchen has to cook vegetables like it chose them — char, acid, salt, texture — rather than auditioning imitations of meat. The best vegan restaurants don't ask for a handicap, and here they don't get one.
Ranked by Harry Score, closest vegan matches first. The Harry Score is a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
