Vegan Friendly Restaurants Near Treasure Island, FL — A Non-Vegan's Honest Guide


 

Full disclosure — I am not vegan. Not even a little bit. ๐Ÿ˜„ But my guests are, and after two vegan guests in a row asked me about plant-based dining options, I put together this list. The St. Pete area has a genuinely impressive plant-based dining scene — there is no shortage of incredible options! Have a recommendation we missed? Email us at funshinepropertiesfl@gmail.com — our vegan guests are counting on you! ๐ŸŒฑ

Good Intentions — Downtown St. Pete
๐Ÿ“ 1900 1st Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL 33712
My vegan friends absolutely love this place. Gourmet vegan options in a charming Grand Central District setting, with weekend brunch. Bonus: Spitfire Comedy Club is right next door — think "Whose Line Is It Anyway" style improv comedy. Dinner and a show! ๐ŸŽญ

House of Vegano — Downtown St. Pete
๐Ÿ“ 1990 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33712

Pepe's Cantina — Downtown St. Pete
๐Ÿ“ Downtown St. Petersburg
Already one of our personal favorites for the birria and margaritas — but manager Carlos tells us they're genuinely proud of their vegan options too. A great choice when dining with a mixed group! ๐ŸŒฎ | pepescantina.com
