Dear Reader, I started LouisvilleVegetarian.com about two years ago as a way to support restaurants, local growers, and local vegetarians. I am now very busy with other projects. Among other things, I am writing a book about going solar. I am having trouble finding the time to keep this site up to date. But I... Continue Reading →
Best vegetarian pizzas in Louisville
This one is easy. That’s because the best pizzerias for vegetarians are also the four best pizzerias, period. The Post The Post ripped into Louisville about four years ago with an unbeatable formula: excellent pizza at affordable prices and off street parking. The restaurant took over a veteran’s post and has incorporated that legacy into... Continue Reading →
Dope lunch at Morels
I confess to being a little unnerved when I walked into Morels and saw the neon “future is fake” sign. I would have said the future is very real food that you grow in your own backyard. Or buy from a farmer’s market or fresh stop. That said, and setting vegetarian philosophies aside, lunch at... Continue Reading →
Naïve is pretty crafty
The first thing you notice about Naïve, a relatively new restaurant that’s opened in the hot Butchertown neighborhood, is the mostly white, airy atmosphere. It’s a delightful place to hang out. The bright digs and cleverly crafted, light cuisine have already won a loyal following in Louisville’s midtown. Trendy crowd here Naïve is basically a... Continue Reading →
Shreeji, the White Castle of Indian Restaurants
I had high expectations of Shreeji, the newest vegetarian restaurant in Louisville. Hindus and other Indians have developed a great vegetarian cuisine. After all, they've had centuries of religious strictures against meat eating to work on their recipes. But Shreeji was a disappointment on a number of levels.
Underwhelmed at Bar Vetti
I was really excited to go to Bar Vetti because the Google Maps reviews made it sound like THE place to go. We entered through a lobby that smells like a swimming pool. Unless there is actually a pool in the building, they need to back peddle on the bleach. The best thing about the... Continue Reading →
Blissfully vegetarian at Havana Rumba
Just because I'm going vegetarian doesn't mean I'm going to live like a monk. So Havana Rumba is the ticket when I want a good vegetarian meal without the deprivation. It had been one of those days that screams for the immediate sedation of a margarita. And, luckily, it was happy hour, so I scored... Continue Reading →
Dinner by the fire at Gordon Biersch Brewery
Gordon Biersch Brewery and Restaurant turned out to be the answer. The wind was kicking up and the evening was turning cool. But I still wanted to have dinner outside on a beautiful sunny day in Louisville. And, as usual, I wanted to eat mostly vegetables. So we ended up at Gordon Biersch Brewery, prominently located...

Falafel House: Best vegan food for your Louisville dollars
We entered hungry, and left only $25 lighter (including tax and tip). I had the veggie plate which is a fabulous assortment of hummus, baba ganoush, dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with seasoned rice), a green salad, and three falafels. The veggie plate is, in my opinion, the most beautifully presented thing at Falafel House. It's... Continue Reading →
