Austin Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurants
Austin is a hippy-dippy, vegan-friendly city, so naturally, I had a period where I was on a quest to find vegan food done right. This is food that makes you forget you're not eating meat and/or dairy.
Often times, I would find places with hiked up prices and mediocre food. Vegan/vegetarian food should be less expensive than meat. I would also find meat substitutes that had sodium levels well above a normal person's daily intake.

I've raved about this place many a time. It's vegan food that doesn't taste vegan. It just tastes good. |

The food tasted like it was microwaved after being in the freezer for a few years. The salsa was good though. |

An inexpensive Asian vegetarian restaurant. Good for when you're in a pinch for food. I hear it's closing though. |
Yes, because of proximity . |

This makes me not want to ever eat raw vegan food. It's presented well, but doesn't taste very good, and it's quite pricy. |
