The vegetarian bistrio of St. Pete is inspired by the traditional cuisine of the Middle East. Their Pita Bread is phenomenal and their desserts, like the lemon and saffron buttermilk pie pictured above, are truly divine.  |  Meze 119, 119 2nd St N.

The Lemongrass Tapas offers unique flavors you won't find just everywhere. Their fried rice is heavenly when complimented by a plate of Yakisoba. For more Thai goodness, check out the veggie and tofu dishes at Sab Cafe, Nitally's or Bangkok 9.  |  Lemongrss Tapas, 310 Central Ave.

Inspired by the absence of The Globe Coffee Lounge, Community Cafe had its grand opening back in January, and ever since has made a commitment to serving St. Pete healthy artisan dishes. Mandy's Avocado spread is the perfect compliment to a Veggie Cafe Wrap. Recently opened Mickey's Cafe & Organics also serves yummy veggie items.  |  Community Cafe, 2444 Central Ave. 

La V

La V implements their own sauces and spices with mint leaves and spring lettuce to invigorate and brighten every plate they serve. The Tofu Rolls are highly recommended. If you can't get enough Asian deliciousness, try the yam sushi roll at Sushi Inc.  |  La V, 441 Central Ave. 

Square 1 Burgers

Square 1 Burgers might not be the first place you think of when it comes to vegetarian delights, however their awesome Very Vegan Veggie Burger comes with avocado, hummus, and a special vegan patty that took three years to perfect… nom on St. Pete! The other "can't miss" veggie burgers in town are at The Burg Bar & Grill and Crowley's.  |  Square 1 Burgers, 3942 Tyrone Blvd. 

Bodega

Bodega has omnivore appeal, but their tofu sandwich and platter will fill your soul with flavor nirvana. If you're lucky, you might catch the specialty, Florida-made tempeh which is quite arguably the best sandwich in town at any location, meat or plant alike. Oh yeah, plus Maduros and Con Leche… 'nough said. A close second in the sandwich realm is Lonni's Mango Breeze… so yummy!  |  Bodega, 1120 Central Ave. 

BellaBrava

No photo could do adequate justice to the warm, crunchy eggplant fries at BellaBrava. They've got the vegetarian hookup with White Bean Hummus, Tomato Bisque, Bella Bruschetta and thier house Misticanza. Plus, the Vegetali pizza made in their special Woodstone Oven is New World #delizioso!  |  BellaBrava, 204 Beach Dr NE.

Rococo Steak

Believe it or not, chef Richard Potts at Rococo Steak eats vegetarian "nine times out of ten." He was raised on a farm and understands how to cook a mean veggie. Because of this, there's a secret vegetarian and vegan menu that is available so that no palate goes unhappy. Plus, their baby beets salad, kale chips and truffle fries will have your taste buds a singin'.  |  Rococo Steak, 655 2nd Ave S.
