The menu at Life Vegan proves that even if you're cutting meat out of your diet, you can still get the tastes you crave. You'll find vegan takes on appetizers that would seem at home at any neighborhood bar, like nachos topped with guacamole and dairy-free cheese. Built in the historic building formerly occupied by Fanny's World Famous Restaurant, Life Vegan keeps the spot's quaint, warm decor, which jives with Southern dinner specials served with soul-food sides such as mac and cheese, potato salad and kale greens.
