This is the only dedicated, 100% vegetarian restaurant in Madison, WI. 90% of the menu is vegan, but they offer real cheese. Some of their menu items are really delicious, but other items fall short.
DEVIL WINGS -
So good! I always ask for extra buffalo sauce in lieu of ranch.
RAW TACO PLATE -
Delicious! Their walnut chorizo bursts with flavor and their creamy cilantro jalapeƱo dressing is the icing on the raw taco cake. I would definitely order this again.
VEGGIE LOAF DINNER -
I've been looking for a great vegan meatloaf. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of their walnut loaf version.
SOUTHWEST FILET -
Delicious! I omitted the pico de gallo and added some of their chipotle remoulade
ROASTED RED PEPPER CORNBREAD -
Good taste, but my piece was a little hard.
MACHO NACHOS -
I don't like cheese. Didn't like it before I was vegan and I don't like vegan versions. Usually, I can still get some awesome tasting nachos sans cheese. This was not the case at Green Owl Cafe. They were boring and lacked flavor. I wouldn't get them again.
SANTE FE SALAD -
I felt like I paid $11 for a head of iceberg lettuce with a few sprinkles of veggies. This salad was a joke and my wallet was the punchline. It is over-priced and I would not order this again.
CHERRY CHEESECAKE -
Sweet and decent. Not the best vegan cheesecake, but it's ok.
Despite me not loving everything that I've had, I can't give them less than 4 stars. The good items are great and they get an extra star for being the one and only dedicated-vegery in this town. I'll be returning here on my next visit to MSN.
