Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Gastronomic SLC. Updated July 2026.
All Chay · Rose Park
All Chay translates Vietnamese comfort dishes into a fully vegan menu without narrowing the experience to salads and substitutes. Noodle and rice plates, banh mi and pho provide several meal formats, with herbs, pickled vegetables and savory broths carrying the flavor. The Rose Park dining room is informal, and the range makes repeat visits easy even for diners who arrive with one favorite dish.
City Cakes & Cafe · Midvale
City Cakes & Cafe gives vegan baking a full pastry case rather than a token shelf. Cakes, cupcakes and daily treats include gluten free options, while the cafe menu extends the stop beyond dessert. The current Midvale location works for a quick sweet, a casual meal or a celebration order, with plant based ingredients treated as the kitchen's foundation rather than a special request.
Vertical Diner · Central 9th
Vertical Diner recasts an American diner menu in fully vegan form. Biscuits and gravy, breakfast plates, sandwiches and comfort food staples carry the familiar abundance of the genre while avoiding animal products. The Central 9th room is relaxed and useful throughout the day, especially for groups that want recognizable diner formats without having to negotiate a mixed conventional menu.
Vegan Bowl Restaurant · West Jordan
Vegan Bowl Restaurant extends the fully plant based Vietnamese approach of its sister restaurant, All Chay, into West Jordan. Brothy noodles, rice dishes and familiar Vietnamese formats make the menu substantial, with vegetables, tofu and seasonings doing more than imitating meat. The south valley location offers a direct route to a complete vegan meal rather than a collection of side dishes.
Zest Kitchen & Bar · Downtown
Zest Kitchen & Bar has operated as a fully vegan restaurant since 2018, pairing plant based food with cocktails in a downtown setting. House made vegan cheeses add richness without relying on packaged stand ins, and the menu moves between brunch, bowls and composed dinner plates. The bar component makes Zest useful for an evening meal as well as a daytime vegan stop.
