Tasty options

Nice vibe. Had the vegan nachos--really tasty cashew cheese and veggies without needing fake meat. The Beyond burger was good, but could use a slice of tomato. Excellent fries. Minto oreo chocolate cheesecake was more like a mousse, but very tasty. Would definitely go back.

Pros: Tasty food, Well labled vegan options, Great service

Yummy Takeout

It was very rainy today, so I was glad to be able to order online, take my food back to my hotel, and have a cozy evening. The buffalo seitan sandwich was delicious, especially with the vegan ranch on it. I definitely felt like the amount of fries I got was adequate, but I do think the prices were a tad steep.

Pros: Lots of options, Nice vibes, Tasty food

Cons: Somewhat pricey

The best vegan food in Burlington

Went here for brunch and it was great! The Buffalo seitan sammie was incredible, side of greens was perfectly paired. And then got the vegan breakfast loaded potatoes which were also fire. Service was great and atmosphere was cute. Highly recommend

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Tasty food, Good drinks

Cons: Isn’t the easiest to get in with a stroller

Takeout this time.

Ordered the burger for takeout. No tomatoes available but was able to add red onion and a pickle. Didnt like the dressing that came with the greens, would get fries. Would order the burger again. Atmosphere looked inviting, hope to go back again and eat in.

Several options

Casual but full service restaurant with friendly staff. Several vegan options listed on menu. We tried just a few of the Small Plates options. Black bean fritters, green beans, and bok choy. Good flavors and we enjoyed the experience. The all-veg restaurants in Burlington are superior but this is one of the better omni places.

Vegan-friendly, great atmosphere

Staff was quite friendly. Restaurant was lively while still had seating without reservation.

Appreciated that they had many vegan items, and they were clearly marked on the menu. Got the grilled sausage sandwich with Beyond Meat bratwurst and greens. Enjoyed the fresh ingredients and flavors!

Decent options

Their menu is clearly marked with vegan and GF items and they definitely have a handful of delicious looking vegan choices. I got the large plate of cauliflower but it was a bit under cooked and still hard in the stem parts (which I get takes much longer than the florets). All and all the flavors were good and it was a fair amount of food. Staff was nice but only as much as they had to be. For the price it isn’t out of this world but I’d be willing to go back to try one of the other vegan options.

Delicious food & Drinks

I would gladly eat here again! So many labeled vegan options with lots of variety of dishes. I got a more expensive cauliflower steak and my husband opted for a casual sandwich and we could pick our own dinner vibe! The drinks were also fabulous. I wish I could give this place 5 stars! Oh and the vegan nachos were DELICIOUS!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Labeled vegan options , Delicious flavors and varieties of vegan dishes

Cons: Not entirely vegan

Decent vegan options

We had the burger and nachos. The sauce on the burger was a bit odd, not our favorite. The nachos had a house made cashew cheese, I would have preferred a regular vegan melted cheese instead. Not terrible, but menu could use some work.

Pros: Vegan options labeled , Fries were good

Cons: Not much offered , Not super friendly environment

Lots of vegan options with unique choices

The Daily Planet is one of the few omnivore restaurants that really puts some thought and effort into their vegan options, as opposed to the “here’s your plain salad and veggie burger, now get out” approach that so many other restaurants opt for. Instead, you’ll be a bit more warmly greeted by a menu that’s around 30% vegan or so, with those options clearly marked. They’re good options, too: cashew-based alfredo with vegan parm, cashew cheese sauce nachos, buffalo seitan, a vegan muffuletta (!), and others.

I went for the cashew alfredo and was really happy with it (can’t say no to anything that includes Brussels sprouts), and had started off with the seared cauliflower with pickled beets and tomato pumpkin seed hummus was also a solid choice. The cauliflower could’ve used a bit more crisping, but the hummus was so good that I can forgive cauliflower that isn’t exactly my preference. My omni company got something non-vegan I don’t remember, but they raved about it, so it seems like a great option if you’ve got a mixed group.

As for atmosphere, it’s somewhere in the realm of hip eclectic casual — a good fit for Burlington — without venturing over into hipster pretentious territory. The wait staff were all super pleasant and the full bar features a large and well-selected draught beer selection, plus a menu of cocktails and mocktails. Between food and drink, you’ve got enough choices to please most people without being too much. Certainly worth checking out if you’re in town!
