Vegetarian/Vegan Table Service Meals in the Parks

Table service restaurants at Walt Disney World are a vegetarian's dream. My experiences have ranged from "good" to "outstanding". As a vegetarian, I never had any trouble finding something appealing either already on the menu, or available simply by omitting an ingredient or two. However, as a vegan, all of my best meals were items *not* found on the menu, but specially offered up when I mentioned my situation to the staff.

The following chart will give you some ideas of the more "veggie friendly" options, but keep in mind that each experience is unique. Mentioning your dietary needs when you make priority seatings will increase your options. I encourage every vegetarian and vegan to "speak up", and be prepared to eat well. Any full-service restaurant is happy to accommodate your special dietary needs - just give them a call ahead of time.

Liberty Square	Liberty Tree Tavern	classic American lunch or dinner, with characters appearing at dinner only	Dinner is family-style and meat-centric; lunch has veggie options.
Fantasyland	Cinderella's Royal Table	dining in the castle - reserve early for the character breakfast; see breakfast, lunch and dinner menus	Breakfast is not very veggie-friendly unless you choose the yogurt-and-cereal option. Lunch and dinner veggie choices are very limited. Atmosphere is great, though!

The Land	Garden Grill	family-style character lunches and dinners; see menu	The standard menu is meat-centric, but they should have a "vegetarian option" available by request - or come for the ice cream social between 3 and 4!
The Living Seas	Coral Reef	seafood restaurant - watch your lunch or dinner swim by!	There are actually a couple of veggie options on the menu for those of us who prefer our food to lack fins.

Canada	Le Cellier Steakhouse	Canadian steak house serving lunch and dinner	Good veggie options, especially at lunch.
United Kingdom	Rose & Crown	English pub food by the World Showcase Lagoon; have lunch or see IllumiNations during dinner	The English are not known for their vegetarian food, but there are options here, especially if you like curry.
France	Bistro de Paris	pricy bistro upstairs from Chefs de France; see menu	No veggie options on the menu except a salad, but if your heart is set on it, call ahead and make a request.
	Chefs de France	classic and contemporary French lunches and dinners	Several veggie choices at lunch and one at dinner - one of my favorite WDW restaurants.
Morocco	Restaurant Marrakesh	couscous galore, and a belly dancer to boot, at lunch and dinner	Largely a meat-focused menu, but there is vegetable couscous available (not vegan).
Japan	Tempura Kiku	tempura and other Japanese specialties; see lunch or dinner menu	They do have vegetable tempura, and also a chilled tofu dish.
	Teppanyaki	Japanese steak house where food is prepared and cooked before your eyes - lunch and dinner	If the sight of meat and fish being cooked bothers you, stay away! There are veggie options, though, similar to those at Tempura Kiku.
Italy	L'Originale Alfredo di Roma	branch of the famous restaurant in Rome where Alfredo sauce was invented; lunch and dinner menus	Plenty of veggie selections, but perhaps a little pricey for pasta, especially at dinner.
Germany	Biergarten	German family-style buffet; see menu	Meat, meat, and more meat, plus potatoes, spaetzle and sauerkraut. Call ahead to see what they can do for you, though.
China	Nine Dragons	basic Chinese comfort food at lunch and dinner	Surprisingly meat-heavy menu, and doesn't earn highest marks among WDW visitors. Also beware of hidden ingredients such as chicken stock, and fish paste in almost every dish.
Norway	Restaurant Akershus	classic Norwegian lunch and dinner buffet	I had my doubts about finding enough to eat here, but there was plenty and everything was delicious! I recommend giving it a try - it's an especially good bargain at lunchtime.
Mexico	San Angel Inn	charming setting inside the Mexico pyramid, serving authentic Mexican lunch and dinner	A "small" vegetarian menus is available if you ask - two dishes that can be made vegan by request.

Hollywood Blvd.	Brown Derby	contemporary American fare in a beautiful setting from the golden age of Hollywood; lunch and dinner menus	Plenty of veggie options; the woodland mushroom appetizer is to die for. At last check, on standard vegan dish was also on the menu.
Echo Lake area	50's Prime Time Cafe	homestyle comfort food in a kitschy, '50's style kitchen atmosphere; see menu	A vegan pasta dish and several sides are on the menu. My experience has been great - they really try to please and will prepare dishes not found on the menu.
	Hollywood and Vine	buffets at lunch and dinner	Plenty of veggie options at any time of the day.
New York Street	Mama Melrose's	Little Italy-style Italian restaurant with a range of basic to adventurous options; lunch and dinner menus	Don't be deceived - this is not just a pizza joint. The minestrone and the portobello mushroom appetizer are fantastic. There are plenty of veggie choices. I've heard at least a few options can be made vegan by request.
	Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre	sit in your car in an indoor "drive-in" and snack on basic American fare; see menu	Quite a few veggie options here beyond basic hamburgers, but many folks just come for the atmosphere and a milkshake.
