Table service restaurants at Walt Disney World are a vegetarian's dream. Experiences have ranged from "good" to "outstanding". As a vegetarian, you will usually finding something appealing either already on the menu, or available simply by omitting an ingredient or two. However, as a vegan, some meals were items *not* found on the menu, but specially offered up when mentioning vegan dining.

The following chart will give you some ideas of the more "veggie friendly" options, but keep in mind that each experience is unique. Mentioning your dietary needs when you make priority seatings will increase your options. I encourage every vegetarian and vegan to "speak up", and be prepared to eat well. Any full-service restaurant is happy to accommodate your special dietary needs - just give them a call ahead of time.

Magic Kingdom

Land Restaurant Description Comments
Main Street, USA Crystal Palace all-you-can-eat character meals; see lunch or dinner menu Reputed to be the best character dinner for vegetarians.
  Plaza Restaurant sandwiches, salads and ice cream, including a veggie sandwich; see menu Nice old-fashioned ice-cream parlor.
  Tony's Town Square Italian lunches and dinners with quite a few veggie choices (more at lunch than dinner) There's a Lady and the Tramp theme here.
Liberty Square Liberty Tree Tavern classic American lunch or dinner, with characters appearing at dinner only Dinner is family-style and meat-centric; lunch has veggie options.
Fantasyland Cinderella's Royal Table dining in the castle - reserve early for the character breakfast; see breakfast, lunch and dinner menus Breakfast is not very veggie-friendly unless you choose the yogurt-and-cereal option. Lunch and dinner veggie choices are very limited. Atmosphere is great, though!

 

Epcot - Future World

Pavilion Restaurant Description Comments
The Land Garden Grill family-style character lunches and dinners; see menu The standard menu is meat-centric, but they should have a "vegetarian option" available by request - or come for the ice cream social between 3 and 4!
The Living Seas Coral Reef seafood restaurant - watch your lunch or dinner swim by! There are actually a couple of veggie options on the menu for those of us who prefer our food to lack fins.

 

Epcot - World Showcase

Pavilion Restaurant Description Comments
Canada Le Cellier Steakhouse Canadian steak house serving lunch and dinner Good veggie options, especially at lunch.
United Kingdom Rose & Crown English pub food by the World Showcase Lagoon; have lunch or see IllumiNations during dinner The English are not known for their vegetarian food, but there are options here, especially if you like curry.
France Bistro de Paris pricy bistro upstairs from Chefs de France; see menu No veggie options on the menu except a salad, but if your heart is set on it, call ahead and make a request.
  Chefs de France classic and contemporary French lunches and dinners Several veggie choices at lunch and one at dinner - one of my favorite WDW restaurants.
Morocco Restaurant Marrakesh couscous galore, and a belly dancer to boot, at lunch and dinner Largely a meat-focused menu, but there is vegetable couscous available (not vegan).
Japan Teppan Edo

Teppan Grill and Sushi items. Menu

If the sight of meat and fish being cooked bothers you, stay away! Edamame.
  Tokyo Dining

Tempura
Menu

Edamame, Tofu, Bento Box
Italy Tutto Italia Lunch and Dinner Menus Pasta, meats and fish
Germany Biergarten German family-style buffet; see menu Meat, meat, and more meat, plus potatoes, spaetzle and sauerkraut. Call ahead to see what they can do for you, though.
China Nine Dragons basic Chinese comfort food at lunch and dinner Surprisingly meat-heavy menu, and doesn't earn highest marks among WDW visitors. Also beware of hidden ingredients such as chicken stock, and fish paste in almost every dish.
Norway Restaurant Akershus classic Norwegian lunch and dinner buffet Food is average at best, main draw are the Characters
Mexico San Angel Inn charming setting inside the Mexico pyramid, serving authentic Mexican lunch and dinner A "small" vegetarian menus is available if you ask - two dishes that can be made vegan by request.

 

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Area Restaurant Description Comments
Hollywood Blvd. Brown Derby contemporary American fare in a beautiful setting from the golden age of Hollywood; lunch and dinner menus Plenty of veggie options; the woodland mushroom appetizer is to die for. At last check, on standard vegan dish was also on the menu.
Echo Lake area 50's Prime Time Cafe homestyle comfort food in a kitschy, '50's style kitchen atmosphere; see menu A vegan pasta dish and several sides are on the menu. My experience has been great - they really try to please and will prepare dishes not found on the menu.
  Hollywood and Vine buffets at lunch and dinner Plenty of veggie options at any time of the day.
New York Street Mama Melrose's Little Italy-style Italian restaurant with a range of basic to adventurous options; lunch and dinner menus Don't be deceived - this is not just a pizza joint. The minestrone and the portobello mushroom appetizer are fantastic. There are plenty of veggie choices. I've heard at least a few options can be made vegan by request.
  Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre sit in your car in an indoor "drive-in" and snack on basic American fare; see menu Quite a few veggie options here beyond basic hamburgers, but many folks just come for the atmosphere and a milkshake.
