Yes, Indy has a lot of steakhouses. But that doesn’t mean plant eaters are out of luck. We tracked down the best dining spots for vegans, vegetarians, and their allies.

The glazed tofu and jicama slaw sandwich on crusty baguette—a fine vegetarian approximation of the banh mi—from Duos Kitchen (2960 N. Meridian St., 317-508-8614). Recommended side: the spicy collared greens.

Millersville Cafe Market (5490 N. Emerson Ave.) kicks off its summer season on June 2.
