Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Memphis Magazine and Memphis Flyer. Updated July 2026.
City Silo Table + Pantry · East Memphis
City Silo makes vegetable-driven food approachable through grain bowls, sandwiches, smoothies, and clearly marked plant-based choices. Memphis Magazine names the local concept in its Vegetarian and Vegan field. Build a meal around one composed bowl rather than treating the menu as a collection of substitutions, then add a drink or smaller item with a different texture. The East Memphis location is the selected identity for this two-location brand.
Global Café · Crosstown
Global Café brings immigrant and refugee food businesses together inside Crosstown Concourse, with vegan choices emerging from several distinct culinary traditions. Memphis Magazine includes the cafe in its Vegetarian and Vegan results. Walk the counters before ordering, then combine dishes from more than one kitchen if the current menus allow. The point is not a single house style, but a shared space where several cooks retain their own voices.
Imagine Vegan Cafe · Cooper-Young
Imagine Vegan Cafe serves an entirely plant-based comfort-food menu in Cooper-Young, translating familiar burgers, sandwiches, entrees, and desserts without animal products. The Memphis Flyer profiles the restaurant and its buffet roots directly. Choose something that shows the kitchen's comfort-food approach rather than defaulting to a simple salad, and leave room for dessert. The casual room makes it useful for families and mixed-experience groups.
Rawgirls · East Memphis
Rawgirls focuses on cold-pressed juice, raw plant-based meals, snacks, and portable food from its Poplar Avenue operation. The Memphis Flyer documents the founders' sale to a successor owner and the continuity of the Rawgirls name rather than a closure. Pair a juice with a substantial prepared item so the visit shows more than the beverage program. The current parking-lot address matches the operational Google identity.
RP Tracks Restaurant & Bar · University District
RP Tracks is a neighborhood bar with a serious vegetarian history, especially its barbecue tofu and broad meat-free selection. Memphis Magazine names it in the Vegetarian and Vegan field, while the Memphis Flyer specifically describes the tofu as a vegan-friendly option. Order the barbecue tofu in a format that keeps its texture visible, then add a vegetable side. The restaurant is not vegan-only, so confirm current preparation details when needed.
