In the Texas Hill Country, never let it be said that comfort food isn’t at the forefront of our hearts, minds, and stomachs. We hold entire festivals and celebrations around it! But for those who aren’t necessarily omnivores, and those that refrain from consuming all things which are animal by-products (milk, eggs, or cheese) we haven’t forgotten about you. Vegetarians and vegans have some great healthy, not to mention tasty options for dining in the Hill Country, including places that have put their own meatless spin on classic comfort food dishes, a few of which are listed here.

Counter Culture is situated in Austin and serves “…internationally inspired vegan comfort food which is made daily on the premises.” And you can’t beat that. What started out as a food truck, now caters to vegetarians and vegans alike but is also popular with those who have a love of meat. They serve meatless, dairy-free and raw foods which are made from scratch and they do so with organic, fair trade and locally grown food from area farmers.
