Lupita's Cantina 209 Louisiana Ave., Perrysburg OH 43551 lupitas-mexican.com We love the Carlos family of restaurants in the Toledo area as he always has clearly-labeled vegan options. We hadn't tried his newest addition, Lupita's Cantina in downtown Perrysburg, and so were excited to try it this past weekend. Lupita's Cantina has three labeled vegan options: vegan street tacos, vegan enchiladas and a vegan taco salad. You get to chose your vegan protein, with two options: veef (imitation beef) picadillo or grilled zhrimp. We got the enchiladas with veef and the taco salad with ..read more

Shukodo Kitchen 27072 Carronade Dr, Suite D, Perrysburg OH 43551 shokudokitchen.com We were excited to find out that Shukodo Kitchen had a new vegan sushi menu and made a visit to check it out.

Shukodo means “dining room” in Japanese and there is a shared kitchen approach, with several types of menus within the same dining establishment. Bento Box is no longer on the menu, r ..read more

Chili Mustard Onions 3411 Brush St, Detroit MI 48201 https://www.detroitcmo.com/ We had curtailed our travel for much of the pandemic and so we were excited to finally try Chili Mustard Onions, an all-vegan restaurant in the heart of Detroit.   This is a take on Detroit Coney Island restaurants except that everything is vegan.  And so think: dogs, burgers and fries.  We had The Big Mock and the Chik'un Parm Sub. The sub used a breaded and deep-fried Quorn cutlet and plenty of great marinara sauce, smoked vegan provolone and cashew parmes ..read more

Nourish Juicery and Kitchen 636 W Adrian St, Blissfield MI 49228 www.nourishjuiceryandkitchen.com We had a lovely lunch at Nourish, a cafe that is 100% vegan, with all its products soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free (of course) and refined sugar-free. They have mastered cooking and baking in their style and so we found no compromise in taste. They have a cooler of entrees and snacks goods for take-out or dine-in. We chose a mixture of items including a Buffalo mac-and-cheese, an Asian noodle salad, a mixed salad with beets and blueberries and a curry ..read more

The Mindful Table 4155 Chappel Drive (Levis Commons), Perrysburg OH 43551 https://www.atthemindfultable.com/ We enjoyed getting Mindful Table items when they were selling them from Churchill's but are absolutely delighted that they have their own storefront in Levis Commons with a much wider array of items for purchase.  Everything that they sell is vegan and everything is gluten-free. We know that a lot of our readers are allergic to gluten because we are often asked if items that we post about are gluten-free. We have been several times to get take-ou ..read more
