Grand Rapids has some really cool family owned vegetarian and vegan places! This discussion is to share locations, ideas, and experiences with others in the Grand Rapids area. :)

Hey fellow Grand Rapidians! I am from G.R., but recently moved to Austin Texas. I was traveling for a while and was so excited to return to find cool, vegan yummies at a bar! A BAR!!!!! I have to say, though, Marie Catribs has the best veg burger EVER!!!!

I'm from GR but currently live in San Diego. Will be moving back to Michigan this summer. I LOVE the vegan stuffed french toast at Marie Catribs and the pizza & breadsticks at Brick Road Pizza Co.

Jillian... I think you're thinking of Stella's! :)


Sanchez in GR is changing their menu in the next few months to add vegan options! I bet they will be DELICIOUS!!!

Kate - OMG Thank you so much for posting this!!! This is the best news ever! I am from GR but have been living in California for the past 8 years.. I've been vegan since June of 2010 and have been lucky to have a lot of vegan options here in San Diego... I'll be moving back to GR in a few months (June 2011) and I've been so depressed thinking about how I won't have a lot of options for dining out. I'm so excited to hear about Bartertown.. can't wait to check it out when I'm back in town! =)
