Cute place with good food - Edit
This is a nice little restaurant near St. George Street with a vegan friendly menu. Everything was clearly labeled and many items can be veganized. They have both house marinated tofu and tempeh to choose from. The server was also knowledgeable about the vegan options. Very good food!

Delicious - Edit
The Floridian has very clear vegan options. There isn’t a vegan only dish, but most of the items on the menu clarify if you can request it vegan or not. The food is delicious (I had the steak “tofu” frites). The flavors are unique and I would definitely recommend!

Very knowledgeable staff - Edit
They normally have some sort of vegan soup special and then I know for sure that they have a black bean and sweet potato burger on the menu.
Read moreI like coming here because I know that if I ask for something to be vegan then I’m well taken care of. Whenever I decide to have a night out on the town …. My partner and I always go here.

Not clearly labeled, but great options - Edit
Our server was very knowledgeable and helped point out which options were easy to adapt for vegan. They clearly explained what was changed to make each dish vegan. The Citrus Beet Salad was a great flavor combination that I would normally go for. Also agree the chips and dips appetizer and left full and happy!

Used to be better - Edit
I used to LOVE it here. Like I brought every person that came to visit here, I thought it was perfect. Good vegan options and something for everyone. I even went here the night I got engaged. About a year ago there was a piece of chicken in my vegan curry meal which just really threw me off and I didn’t want to finish my meal. They were apologetic and mistakes happen, I get it. After that, I went maybe 4 more times and the food was not good. One server would tell me a certain dressing was vegan and then the next time I went the server said it was not vegan. The one salad option had baby spinach with dirty super long stems, mushy as heck blueberries, chickpeas that tasted like they were right out of a can, and not fully cooked sweet potatoes. I don’t recommend that bowl. I hope they add some more vegan options in the winter.

A Vegan Happy Place - Edit
Excellent vegan choices! It's worth the wait. Our servers were incredibly helpful with vegan requirements. The chef knows how to properly prepare (blacken) seitan and tofu (my wife is a plant-based chef, so the bar is high!). Good quality food! We will go back!

Many great vegan options! - Edit
This place has multiple vegan substitutes for main entrees (sub tofu) and has various salads for which you can add tempeh or tofu. I had the fried green tomatoes - request as vegan and they remove the cheese and give you a special sauce. I also had the golden curry with tofu and it was delicious!! Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly, service was timely, and everyone left satisfied!

Best meal on vacation! - Edit
We shared the chips and dips and LOVED the inclusion of fresh veggies along with chips. I had the curry with tofu and it could not have been better. It was much lighter than the usual curries I have and perfect for a warm evening. We waited 45 mins for an outside table and it was worth it, sitting in the lovely side section. Server was great and helpful. We have two more nights here and might go back!

Must check out - Edit
This restaurant has a very charming atmosphere and very clean. They are not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant but they have a lot of vegan substitutions/ options. We started with the chips and dip and wow was that good so simple yet a ton of flavor. Freshly made potato chips are my favorite. I ordered the golden curry with tofu and it was the most flavorful vegan dish I've ever had. It blew me away. My husband ordered the pasole with tofu and that was delicious also. And because we ordered vegan style they charged less for the dish. All in all you should check this restaurant out.

Love the Floridian! - Edit
We have been here many times and the food never disappoints. I had the Chips and Dips for an appetizer. Great hummus and black bean dips with lots of vegetables for dipping. For dinner, I had the vegan Steak Frites using blackened tofu. They state the dish can be made vegan on the menu. The flavors were outstanding. Finished up by bringing home vegan carrot cupcakes. Once again, delicious

Way above my expectations! The server was excellent and noticed that i said “oow” when she mentioned a vegan special. She came back and explained all the vegan options without my asking. Very impressed. The food was amazing. we ordered the hummus appetizer. For entree i had the golden curry which was out of this world. Would give this place 5 stars.

Great vegan options and delicious food - Edit
There were several items on the menu that had the following caption: "Can be prepared vegan or vegetarian" which was really great. I had a soup and the hummus/black bean dip veggie platter and both were delicious. Everyone in our group was very impressed with the food. We ate on the patio, which was nice (it's on a quiet street, but centrally located in the historic district) and the service was great.

Delicious and great location and patio - Edit
Their gimlet was delicious. My son got the kids fried tofu with carrot sticks. They made him a delicious vegan aioli. I had the winter salad with tempeh with an amazing nutritional yeast dressing and my husband’s tempeh burrito was amazing. The server was super knowledgeable about veganism and he was superb. Would rate 5 stars.
