Five Vegetarian-Restaurants in Mishawaka, Indiana

Even experienced vegetarians are sometimes hard pressed to find something to eat. This is especially true when going out to eat at local restaurants. Whether you're a new vegetarian or just want to take a vegetarian friend out to dinner, this list will give you options to cater to your vegetarian needs. Luckily Mishawaka, Indiana has plenty of vegetarian friendly restaurants. Here are five of the most vegetarian friendly restaurants in Mishawaka.

1. Red Robin

Located on North Main Street in Mishawaka, Red Robin is a very popular burger restaurant. Now, a burger restaurant may not seem like the most vegetarian-friendly place in the world, but Red Robin allows you to substitute a garden burger or boca burger in any of their specialty burgers. This is particularly good when you're out with a group of friends and don't want to feel like an outcast.

2. Olive Garden

Italian restaurants are usually safe bets when considering the dietary needs of vegetarians. Though not vegan-friendly (vegans are vegetarians who don't consume eggs or dairy), the Olive Garden offers many cheese based pastas, as well as minestrone soup and an excellent salad. I highly recommend the Ravioli di Portobello, which is one of my favorite vegetarian dishes of all time.

3. Hacienda Mexican Restaurant

The Hacienda Mexican Restaurant at the 100 center is one of my favorite restaurants in Mishawaka. The main appeal is it's vegetarian version of its famous wet burrito, but it also offers vegetarian fajitas, cheese quesadillas, and bean burritos. I really can't say enough about this restaurant; go read my review for a full description.

4. Taste of Asia

Although not much to look at, Taste of Asia is one of the best Asian eateries in Mishawaka. Located in a plaza on North Main Street, this small restaurant is filled with flavor. Like most Asian restaurants, you get a large serving for a small price and plenty of vegetarian and vegan friendly dishes.

5. IHOP

Pancakes are one of my favorite vegetarian meals, and IHOP's cannot be beat. Crepes and waffles are also available, and a variety of fruits for topping. If you feel like something a little heartier, they also have some delicious vegetable omelets with mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes.

When searching for a vegetarian-friendly restaurant in Mishawaka, it's very important to have a variety of choices. I tried to include a variety of cuisines, as ethnic food is often more vegetarian-friendly than American food. Enjoy your meals!
