Dallas Restaurant Guide for Organic, Vegan, & Plant-Based Eats

November 29, 2020

Living in the Lone Star State, plant-based food options can definitely feel pretty limited, as BBQ sometimes seems to be the #1 food group! With the rise of organic and clean eating making waves from major consumer packaged good companies to at home meal-prep services and fast-casual restaurants, Texas seems to be catching up with the wellness trend and I couldn’t be happier about it! I rounded up my Dallas vegan restaurant guide so you know where to grab a healthy bite. Since moving back to Texas from California earlier this year, I wanted to make sure this guide was updated. I’m working on a new Austin Vegan Restaurant guide next so keep a lookout.

food restaurants DFW dallas vegan organic vegetarian

This list is what I consider some of the most health conscious restaurants available and range from grab & go juice bars to nicer, sit down options for date night or family dinners. Not all of these restaurants are 100% plant-based but all of them do tend to feature at least some vegan friendly options. These are definitely the places I frequented most often when living in Dallas. I hope this is a helpful resource so we can all continue to support local restaurants!

Dallas Vegan Friendly Restaurant Guide

 

Brewed + Pressed (Locations: West Village & Downtown)

Half coffee shop half juice bar with an uber cool aesthetic. Very Instagram worthy. Choose from their grab & go pre-packaged vegan foods! And take it from me, their Cali Shake is to die for.

True Food (Locations: Preston Center & Plano)

California born chain & “sit down” style restaurant with everything from organic vodka to a mean tofu brunch burrito… oh and did I mention organic vodka? Suitable for vegans, vegetarians AND grass-fed meat eaters! Note: they offer the BEST Bloody Mary I have ever had (again, ORGANIC. VODKA. ok I’m done). Slight upscale environment great for brunch, lunch meetings, or family dinners.

Flower Child (Locations: Inwood Village, Cedar Springs, Preston, & Addison)

Newer sister restaurant to True Food now with a few locations spread through the city. A key difference is the ordering process here where you order at the counter and food is brought to your table.

Taco Deli (Locations: Slyvan Ave, Walnut Hill, & Plano)

Austin based company available for breakfast to a late lunch (they’re only open till 3pm!) Counter ordering again here as well and the Freakin’ Vegan taco is a fan favorite! Very fast casual style.

Juiceland (Locations: Slyvan Ave & Lovers)

Again, an Austin headquartered company who has planted roots here in Dallas right next door to Taco Deli! Mind-blowingly delicious and made-fresh to order juices, smoothies, and “shots” along with pre-prepped on the go snacks.

Spiral Diner & Bakery (Kind of in between Kessler & Bishop Arts District)

Funky spot for organic & all vegan dining with 50’s diner style. Lots of vegan comfort foods here and all 100% vegan. I see why there is always a waitlist when we venture over there for a weekend dinner because their Pasta Primavera with brown rice noodles, homemade marina, and pesto is killer. Locations in nearby cities Denton & Fort Worth as well.

The Gem (Locations: University Park & Forest)

This fresh pressed juice & smoothie shop has a modern feel and an awesome background story that hits close to home as the owner believes in fighting cancer with nutrition!

Kozy Kitchen (Fitzhugh)

The ultimate BYOB spot with an extensive menu for takeout, breakfast after a quick weekend workout, or kozy date night.

Southpaw’s Organic Grill (Locations: Preston, Uptown, & Downtown)

Perfect for a quick work week lunch or casual takeout. I don’t believe they are entirely organic, but hey, I’ll take what I can get!

Sundown at Granada (Lower Greenville)

Hands down favorite spot for a fun night out! The boozy drinks are fab and the quinoa burger is my jam. They also have live music on the weekends, a fabulous little rooftop patio, and are right next to The Granada music venue, so you can grab a bite before a show.

Buda Juice (Locations: Mockingbird & West Village)

This is a strictly grab & go spot. Great for juice cleanses! I also love their homemade almond milk.

V-Eats (Trinity Groves)

Plant-based versions of classic American food- burgers and more.

 

Ok that’s it for now until the next update! The only thing I didn’t include was a good Mexican food option which is definitely a DFW highlight with all the amazing tex mex choices- but sadly most are SO unhealthy haha. If I had to recommend one, I’d go with Mesero. And of course if you’re in a real pinch, there is always Whole Foods Market.

So, did I miss anything? What is you all’s favorite healthy spot in or outside of DFW? Let me know so I can add it to my master list!

🕯 Are candles toxic? Let’s talk about clean c 🕯 Are candles toxic? Let’s talk about clean candles 101. I have to admit, I actually got the idea to do this post when I was researching which candles to buy for myself this past pandemic-y year! I looove the ambiance a nice candle creates. So cozy! 

But after being at home all day everyday, it became even more clear to me that making sure our homes are clean and chemical free, and that we are supporting our immunity, is of utmost importance. Afterall, we breathe the air in our homes almost 24/7 and our indoor environment is one of the biggest factors in overall health. 

Why Conventional Scented Candles Are Toxic:
You might be shocked to hear that they contain all this nasty shit...

-PHTHALATES THAT DISRUPT HORMONES
-ASTHMAGENS THAT CAUSE ASTHMA
-CARCINOGENS THAT CAUSE CANCER
-OBESOGENS THAT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN
-NEUROTOXINS THAT AFFECT MOOD AND BRAIN FUNCTION

Peep my insta stories today for some great alternative CLEAN and SAFE candle options!!

And read the full post at DANIONTHELOOSE.COM.

PS if you’re someone who is trying to switch to a less toxic lifestyle this year, I would LOVE to connect with you. I know it can be sooo overwhelming so would love to support you in this journey! It’s effing a lot to take in but also so fun. Shoot me a DM! 

XO, Dani
CLEAN GROCERY BRANDS WEEK 4! It’s all about brea CLEAN GROCERY BRANDS WEEK 4! It’s all about breakfast foods in this one. Here we go:

@onedegreeorganics is my go to-to cereal and oats brand. I have the HARDEST time finding a cereal that does not have cane sugar and other added crap AND that is also gluten free. But One Degree fits the bill. Their grains and oats are sprouted too which is key for optimal digestion.

@sakaralife Superfood Granolas- not technically a brand you can find in the grocery store but you can order on their site! I wanted to include because I looove recommending their granolas with almond milk to the women I health coach. You truly will not find higher quality ingredients! (ps code “XODANIELLE” gets ya 20% off).

Wildwood Organic tofu in place of scrambled eggs. Now look I know tofu freaks people the fuck out. And I get it. I avoided in the first like 3 years I was plantbased because I just didn’t know how I felt about it or how to cook it. But boy has that changed. DM for some recipe ideas if you want to give this a try!

@hilaryseatwell organic veggie sausages. I am obsessed with these things and have a real addiction. I like that they are made with legumes like lentils instead of any soy or imitation meats. I also feature them in my Green Girl At Home vegan newbies e-book for a “sausage biscuit” type recipe. 

@simplemills pancake and muffin mixes have such clean ingredients and are gluten free so def give them a try for a healthier try at baked goods for breakfast. Also in my recipe e-book for “pancake muffins.” so good.

Last but certainly not least is @foodforlifebaking gluten free and vegan breads and english muffins. Don’t know what I would do without this brand. For avo toast breakfasts and so many other things! DM me for a tip on the english muffins though because they can be super hard to unfreeze and figure out when you first buy them ha!

Which one of these is your fave? XO, Dani
