If you're a vegan in Austin, Texas, you're in luck - this city is home to some of the best vegan restaurants in the state. And as the team at Alpha Boat Rentals, we love spending our days out on the beautiful waters of Lake Travis, but when we're not out on the boat, we can't get enough of Austin's delicious vegan food. Here are some of our favorite spots and what you should order when you're there.

  1. Bouldin Creek Cafe: This cozy cafe has a delicious selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes, and the outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying a meal in the beautiful Austin weather. Be sure to try the vegan migas, which are made with tofu scramble, black beans, avocado, and salsa. The jackfruit tacos are also a must-try - the jackfruit is slow-cooked in a homemade BBQ sauce and topped with avocado, slaw, and vegan ranch.

  2. Counter Culture: This trendy spot serves up tasty vegan comfort food, and the atmosphere is funky and fun. The seitan wings are a favorite - they're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they're tossed in a delicious spicy sauce. The bbq jackfruit sandwich is also a must-try - the jackfruit is slow-cooked in a homemade BBQ sauce and served on a toasted bun with avocado, slaw, and vegan ranch.

  3. Arlo's: This food truck turned brick-and-mortar restaurant serves up vegan burgers and tacos that are so tasty, even meat-lovers will be impressed. The bac'n cheeseburger is a standout - it's made with a Beyond Meat patty, vegan bacon, and vegan cheese, and it's served on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, and special sauce. The curried cauliflower tacos are also delicious - the cauliflower is coated in a flavorful curry sauce and served on a corn tortilla with avocado, slaw, and vegan sour cream.
