People keep asking me where to eat in Estes Park that has vegan type offerings, so I am going to start an ongoing post of restaurants and what they offer in keeping with a plant based diet. I don't eat out that often simply because its usually a salad (where ingredients may or may not be fresh) or a mushroom, which I don't like. Hopefully, this will help some of you in making food decisions and showing how I "pick and choose" things to make a meal. (this drives my husband and family completely crazy!!)
If you are a restaurant owner and have something to add, or I have made a mistake in the menu, please let me know, just leave a comment and I will change it. Some items I have not personally tried, but selected from their menus.
Wild Rose Restaurant - Vegan Scale - 1 carrot
Appetizers - Not much of a selection, but you could go with the French Onion Soup and gourmet greens (hold the feta). They also say on their website they offer a salad bar!
Dinner - Nothing under the dinner column, but I notice on the menu they offer "Garden Veggies, seasonal veggies and wild rice" as accompanements, so they could probably be combined for a meal. ***
Pasta - There is a vegetarian pasta offered, be sure and ask to omit the feta. Looks pretty good (except for mushrooms!)
Sandwiches - They have a vegetable burger, made with Oats, brown rice and mushrooms patty on a sesame seed bun. Also soup and salad for 8.95, served with a french bagette. **
Note** They also have a club sandwich served on wheat bread, you can always ask if they have an avocado or some hummus they can use to replace the meat offered. Sometimes they will do this and that makes a great sandwich!! Never hurts to ask!! Although your dining partner may hide under the table while your asking!!
Note *** I first ask at any restaurant if they will "make up a meal", and then what the price will be, they almost always have to go ask, and sometimes come back with a price so outrageous its more than the entree! So I always check first!!
