vegetarian restaurants in baltimore

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.

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.
