GREAT veg/vegan friendly spot

By choice and chance, I ate dinner here all 3 nights of my recent trip to Saint Paul. The first night I had planned it; the secound night, we returned because it was so darned good; the third, our other reservation didn't work out, so we came back and were happy yet again.

The menu is good for omnivores as well as vegetarian and vegans. The food is creative and tasty. The wine and beer lists are extensive. For the dessert minded, there is a display case of desserts, muffins and savory baked goods at the entrance.

To add to the charm, there is a lovely back garden, as well as sidewalk tables out front. What's not to like?

Pros: Excellent food, Good for all: veg/vegan, gluten-free, omnivores, Outdoor dining

good vegan-friendly option

French Meadow has several good vegan choices and I appreciate that vegan items are clearly marked on the menu. The tempeh chorizo tostada was good. Service was friendly.

Vegan on the menu!

Delicious vegan food on the menu. I've had the classic vegan breakfast many times. They also have a bakery with a selection of vegan cakes and pastries, as well as dairy free options for their drinks. The staff have all been very friendly and familiar with veganism.

Pros: Friendly staff, Vegan marked on the menu, Good quality food

Cons: Few breakfast options

Nice breakfast location

On a weekend brunch-time, it was quite crowded. We were able to walk right up to chairs at the bar to eat, so no waiting (otherwise 25min). Very high ceilings and crowded so quite loud, but still nice.

The "classic vegan breakfast" was a simple fare of hash browns (the shredded kind, nicely crisped), faux sausage patties (I am guessing Gimme Lean brand) and tofu scramble (a little too heavy on the turmeric, a tad dry and light on any veggies). Still, we were happy to be eating breakfast out and not have to worry about vegan choices.

The rest of the menu looked like there were some creative options for a "next" visit-- vegan and/or easy to convert to such. We didn't look too hard at the bakery selection to see what vegan options were there. Next time.

The bartender/waiter was very attentive and friendly. Décor was rustic wood, brick and nicely done.

Tastiness In St Paul

French meadow in minneapolis is one of my favorite restaurants and now they are in saint paul. They largely have the same great menu of vegan and non-vegan options all clearly labeled in addition to a smaller selection of the vegan baked goods. Some of my favorite dishes are the spa salad, healing plate, tempeh tacos, and classic vegan breakfast.
