Plant-based eating has never been more exciting and Milwaukee’s vegan and vegetarian restaurants are at the forefront of a food movement that is redefining what meatless cooking can achieve. Jackfruit tacos with smoky depth, cashew-based cheeses that genuinely impress, grain bowls packed with colour and nutrition and desserts so good you will forget they contain no dairy. These kitchens prove that leaving meat off the plate opens up a world of creativity rather than closing one down. Milwaukee’s plant-based scene is thriving and delicious.
