Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Gatlinburg

"The menu at the Bistro changes pretty regularly, which certainly has its pros and cons—I will forever miss the vegan gingerbread waffles and Hoppin' John that used to grace their menu—but they always have something vegan and are great about making substitutions. Luckily, most of the sides are vegan. When I'm feeling particularly indulgent, I get the flash-fried Brussels sprouts as an appetizer."

"Bistro seemingly has it all – history, great food, a cozy and intimate wood-and-brick interior and a hip owner in Martha Boggs. While legions of downtown restaurants have come and gone, Bistro has been an urban staple since 1980. Housed in the fourth-oldest building (circa 1820) in Knoxville, the Bistro offers three seasonal menus featuring locally sourced vegetables and products."

"Those in search of a meatless meal don't have to exert too much effort sifting through menu selections for suitable items. At Bistro at the Bijou, they have a separate menu for vegetarian and vegan diners. The lunch/dinner lineup runs the gamut, from white truffle fries and a house salad to veggie burgers and a sweet potato kale wrap."

"On our final morning in Knoxville, we had several options for breakfast—Makers donuts and Status Dough being two worthy contenders (and spots you absolutely must try if you have a sweet tooth), in addition to my regular, tried-and-true haunt, Tomato Head—but I can never resist the crepes at French Market, which has relocated from Gay Street to the other side of the square and, ultimately, won out in a battle of the breakfast foods. I still don’t regret that decision one bit!"

"A great place for dinner in Market Square is Tomato Head, they have yummy pizzas and a nice range of sandwiches, salads, and sweets. Read More – 12 cool things to do in Knoxville Tennessee"

"If you’re more in the mood for a pizza, salad, or sandwich, try The Tomato Head in Market Square. It’s right near your next stop anyway."

"Located far from the center of Whittier, Taco Bell is a really good low-priced Fast Food Restaurant. You can get Mexican food in the Fast Food Restaurant. Taco Bell is a a great place for Family-Friendly Dining and Late Night Dining."

"My visit to this Old City chef-centric eatery set the tone for 2019, which wound up taking me to a number of what would generally be considered haute cuisine restaurants. Rebel Kitchen’s evolving menu showcases regional farmers and producers — an approach reflected in superb dishes like Dover sole with fingerling potatoes and spinach as well as the Painted Hills beef hanger steak, which is prepared sous vide style for 24 hours before being immersed in liquid nitrogen and flash-fried before serving. House-made breads and a delicious bowl of lentil soup completed our culinary tour."

"The Wild Plum Tea Room is an amazing place to have lunch in the Arts & Crafts Community. Named one of the top 10 restaurants in the state of Tennessee, this unique cafe features scratch-made food in an idyllic natural setting. Be sure to make reservations at The Wild Plum at least 24 hours in advance."

"Hailed by many as producing the "Best Cupcakes in Knoxville," you can't go wrong with the confectionery heaven that is Magpies Bakery. Chocolate strawberry, red velvet, vanilla mocha, creamy caramel and chocolate caramel will make your choice difficult; or, simply get them all!. Pies like chocolate cream, chess, apple, blue ribbon pecan and blueberry are available as well as cookies, cheesecakes, banana pudding, baked loaves and even wheat-free cupcakes."

" It’s a fitting slogan for Magpies­, reflecting the decadent goodness in their locally-sourced, from-scratch baked goods available at the shop in Happy Holler. Owner Elizabeth Smith and baker Peg Hambright create some delectable pies, like the apple, cherry, and pecan offerings you see here."

"If you're reading this in time, make this next destination an immediate, top priority. During the first few weeks of July, a dazzling sunflower display explodes at Forks of the River Wildlife Management Area . This seasonal sea of yellow swaying in the breeze is one of Knoxville's most stunning unsung sights."

"A few more Sunflower photos because they are in bloom and looking spectacular right now. You might like to see this Adorable Sunflower and dog photo session"
