People choose a vegetarian diet for many reasons. For most people, eating vegetarian is a way to be healthier and to avoid chemicals or hormones used in animal foods. For others, eating this way has more to do with animal rights, environmental concerns, or religion. Interestingly, vegetarians are inclined to live healthy lifestyles even outside of mealtime. In general, they exercise more frequently and tend to live longer than non-vegetarians. Because the number of vegetarians in the country is growing, food manufacturers and restauranteurs have started to follow suit. A wealth of vegetarian-friendly options on restaurant menus makes being a vegetarian today much easy and more delicious than it has been in the past. Here is a list of the best vegetarian restaurants in Baltimore, Maryland, that you must try for a foray into veggie dining.

Posted by Melissa Trotman on Wednesday, 11 July 2018
The restaurant is, in essence, a modern lunch counter, tucked at the front of the Mom’s Organic Market in Hamden. The food you are served is a delight to the eyes and taste buds! It’s a vegetarian/vegan cafe with made to order fresh ingredient meals served in a compostable bowl/box. You can go a la carte and create your own bowl (from the pre-trimmed and ready to eat items in view) or choose one of the various daily specials. Everything is prepared fresh in house from the marinated cauliflower “steak”, to the assortment of dressings/sauces added to your completed bowl.

9. Paulie Gee's Hampden
First Fridays In Hampden! | before, or after, you visit and spend money at our local merchants, who stay open later...
Posted by Paulie Gee's Hampden on Friday, 2 November 2018
Some people are confused/disappointed by the fact that it’s not a typical American pizza place where you get a big pizza to share and choose your toppings. Instead, the serving is more of a traditional Italian pizza where pizzas are individual-sized and have set toppings and are ordered by name. The service is prompt, friendly, and accommodating. This is a great place to take kids too. They also have a very lively bar scene. The outdoor seating is pleasant and comfortable.
