3 new restaurants make it easy to be meat-free in Salt Lake City

(Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune) Seasons Plant-based Bistro is one of three new vegan/vegetarian restaurants that have opened recently in Salt Lake City.

The restaurant options for vegans and vegetarians continue to grow.

In recent weeks, three Salt Lake City restaurants have opened that cater to those avoiding meat and dairy. Here’s a snapshot of what to expect at Boltcutter, Seasons Plant Based Bistro and Veggie House.

Boltcutter

(Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune) Boltcutter, at 57 Gallivan Ave., is one of three new vegan/vegetarian restaurants that have opened recently in Salt Lake City.

From the same owners as the Buds vegan sandwich shop, this restaurant serves appetizers — think buffalo cauliflower ($8) and street corn ($6) — as well as salads, tacos and burritos ($7-$10) filled with choice of marinated seitan, tempeh, mushrooms or Buds’ famous barbacoa jackfruit. 57 Gallivan Ave., Salt Lake City. Open 5 to 11 p.m.

Seasons Plant Based Bistro

The menu here is inspired by a French/Italian bistro with fresh breads and house-made semolina pasta as well as specialty entrees like the portobello steak served with whipped potatoes and mushroom demi-glace. Appetizers and small plates $4-$10, entrées $13-$15. Wine and beer also available. 1370 S. State, Salt Lake City; 385-267-1922 or seasonsslc.com. Open Tuesday-Saturday 4 to 10 p.m.

Veggie House

(Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune) Veggie House, at 52 E. 1700 South, is one of three new vegan/vegetarian restaurants that have opened recently in Salt Lake City.

At this fast-casual restaurant, diners can get all the Asian specialties — from lettuce wraps and stir fries to pot stickers and noodles — without meat and dairy. It’s also affordable, as everything on the menu is under $10. 52 E. 1700 South, Salt Lake City; 801-282-8686 or veggiehouseut.com. Open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday noon to 7 p.m.
