Green Sprout, on Piedmont Avenue, is mostly vegan. Located in a shopping center across from Ansley Mall, the space is quite Spartan and scrupulously clean. The menu features mostly Chinese dishes, done with meat substitutes made of tofu and soybeans.

While not 100% vegetarian, The Flying Biscuit cafe has long been a favorite with vegetarians in the Atlanta area. With two locations, one in midtown near Piedmont Park, and one in the Candler Park area,
this restaurant made its reputation on its biscuits and the breakfast menu. But don't pass on trying the Love Cakes, made with seasoned black beans.

All of these restaurants feature moderate prices; Green Sprout, in particular, would fall in the inexpensive range.
