Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Bull Run

"Komi owners Johnny Monis and Anne Marler formed their pitch-perfect pivot nearly a full year before COVID-19 shut down much of the District. Happy Gyro, the mostly vegetarian pop-up that allows Monis to channel formative years he spent in his parents’ Greek-American pizza shop, first replaced the premium tasting menu at Komi in 2019. On and off since March, it’s given Monis and Marler a takeout operation where they can peddle quarantine-friendly goods such as crunchy thin pizzas with toppings that keep customers on their toes, ice cream and gelato fully worth the $15 price tag per pint, all kinds of wines and European ciders, and even a Happy Gyro pocket T."

"Johnny Monis is gathering quite a following for himself in his tiny Dupont Circle restaurant. Komi’s low-key dining room, a straight shot from front window to kitchen window, is home to some of the most adventurous eating in the city; the youthful chef is essaying New American cuisine with nods to his Mediterranean heritage and whatever else strikes his fancy. But neither he nor his staff of personable, fashionable servers is lacking in discipline; just as his talent is for showcasing unusual ingredients without showboating, theirs is for putting guests at ease with the ever-changing menu."

"Komi offers an exceptional dining experience for anyone willing to splurge a little for an excellent meal. There are no printed menus at this restaurant. Instead, there is a set multi-course dinner including light dishes, pasta, a family-style entrée and desserts."

"Equinox prides itself on its commitment to the organic, sustainable food movement that’s currently sweeping the nature. Using ingredients sourced within 100 miles of the restaurant itself, the menu takes its inspiration from regional gastronomic traditions. The Sunday brunch at Equinox is entirely plant-based, or vegan, so you’re in for a unique culinary experience."

"What would you think of a place where Bill Gates, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and Larry David have all eaten?. That place must not be just pretty but pretty, pretty, pretty good restaurant. Equinox is not totally vegan, but the gourmet plant-based menu is long and irresistible."

"Shouk shook up the idea of eating a plant-based meal — at least in DC, where there weren’t many vegan options for a long time. Leaning on Israeli and Middle Eastern culinary traditions, these flavor-packed and satisfying pitas and bowls are well-assembled and totally satisfying ($9.75). The cauliflower version features the cruciferous veg tucked into a pita with tomato, scallion, tahina and parsley."

"Here’s an example of a Fast Food spot that offers pickup: Medium Rare in Virginia Square."

"It’s easy to find a variety of Indian vegetarian options, but finding unique and inventive twists on the typical curries is much harder. Indique does just that, and does it really well. The morel vegetable stew, rich and creamy coconut milk gravy, cauliflower pecorino kulcha, and sweet potato chaat are all flavor explosions."

"Indique offers Gulab Jamun, a milk solid donut hole drizzled with honey and served with vanilla ice cream. This melt-in-your-mouth dessert comes out piping hot with a super-soft texture and a hint of rose flavor. You might even catch a hint of cardamom in the ice cream."

"Built around a custom wood-burning oven and featuring stunning views of the Alexandria waterfront, Ada's on the River draws inspiration from the ingenuity of Ada Lovelace, one of the greatest mathematicians of the 19th century. Led by Maryland-native Chef Randall J. Matthews, Ada's menus feature a..."

"But because it was getting late we opted to sit indoor at the bar, but I will definitely be back to…”more. Offers takeout and delivery"

"DC's best meditation spot has to be the West Potomac Park, the area between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. It includes the Tidal Basin, which shimmers pink when the beautiful cherry trees bloom around March or April (according to spring's whim)."

"This is a national park adjacent to the National Mall, west of the Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument. Major attractions in the area include Constitution Gardens, the Reflecting Pool, the Vietnam, Korean, Lincoln, Jefferson, World War II, and FDR memorials."

"Green Spring Gardens, spanning about 31 acres, is a historic garden featuring a plantation house constructed between 1777 to 1784."

"Looking for a classic slice of Americana that you and the kids can enjoy?. Head to Johnny Rockets where you will be transported back to the 1950s. Kids can chose from several different meals including hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders and grilled cheese."

"Founded in 1856, Old Ebbitt Grill is the oldest saloon in Washington, DC. The restaurant’s convenient location near the White House means you won’t have to travel far to eat good food. The restaurant’s atmosphere is family-friendly and people of all ages will be intrigued by the famous dinner guests of days past, including President Teddy Roosevelt, Alexander Hamilton and many more. The Hamilton is a recently opened restaurant near the White House designed to honor Alexander Hamilton."
