There's never been a better time to eat vegetarian or vegan in south Florida. The many restaurants listed here make it easy to find healthy, delicious and animal-free meals from Key West to Palm Beach and cities in between. With the choices we make at each meal, we can help stop cruelty to chickens, pigs, cows, fish and other animals raised for food.

Organic, raw vegan cafe. All dishes homemade daily. The menu at Green Wave Cafe features many creative dishes, such as a raw burrito wrap, pizza and Pad Thai. The Vegan Cheese Burger is popular, but we preferred the Lettuce Boat Tacos (homemade guacamole and salsa, along with a rich pate and Mexican cheese sauce). Entrees come with a soup or salad. Make sure to try the desserts! Visit their website for details of classes and special events. Located in the Plantation Village shopping center, just west of the Turnpike. Open for lunch and dinner. Closed Monday.
