Move over meat; it’s time for vegetarian dining to shine. Whether you’re trying to cut down on meat, or it’s completely off your table, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) provides many options beyond typical tofu every day. Our region offers a bounty of gastronomic joys, and SEA is now also serving up herbivorous perfection.
Every dine-in or grab-and-go eatery at the airport offers a vegetarian option. Where there are burgers, there are also Impossible or Beyond Meat alternatives, but we’ve got more than mock meat to choose from. Here’s a roundup of some of the best.
Meatless in Seattle
The broad choice of food in the Central Terminal offers menus for every diet and palette. Follow the big green sign to Evergreens, which provides healthy, convenient and delicious meals on the go. From signature salads, wraps, and grain bowls, to seasonally-inspired selections, Evergreens makes it easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle while traveling. To order ahead, download the Evergreens Salad app for Apple and Android, skip the line, and earn rewards.
Take a turn into the recently expanded C Concourse for a whole new world of flavor. BBQ joint Nanny’s is bringing the best for all dietary needs, not just catering to the carnivores. The stars of the show are the vegetarian corn ribs. These quarters of corn cob are given the full elote treatment so you can have the same finger-licking mess that unites rib lovers everywhere. If you’re trying to keep it tidy, you can’t go wrong with the all-day breakfast, where even the meat forward dishes can be subbed for vegan sausage.
For veggie fare with a French flair, head down B Concourse to LouLou Market and Bar. Share burrata with your travel partner for the creamiest fresh cheese and dreamiest roasted tomatoes. Then keep the caprese for yourself while you take in the al fresco inspired atmosphere.
Floret, located at the beginning of the A Gates, is a favorite for those seeking all organic vegan and vegetarian food. If you’re in a hurry, the espresso and grab-and-go counter makes for quick service without compromising on quality. Despite not being listed anywhere, Floret’s “secret menu item” and fan favorite specialty drink is an oat milk lavender honey latte. If your schedule allows it, savor your dining experience on the sit-down side of Floret for a vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free menu that changes regularly to serve the best of the season. From salads to cinnamon rolls, everything is vegetarian!
Plant-based and headed abroad
If you’re traveling internationally, you are likely hopping on the train to the S Concourse. Herbivore eating is anything but bland at Moe’s Indian Kitchen where half the menu is vegetarian. The chickpea curry is savory and satisfying and the laksa noodles give broth a good name. Moe’s veggie samosas go down a little too easy, but we’re not complaining.
Nom noms in the north
Perhaps you’re flying with Alaska Airlines and instead find yourself on a train to the recently renovated N Concourse. First stop, Bambuza Vietnam Kitchen, with a sit-down restaurant and grab-and-go selection. Bambuza intertwines Vietnamese flavors with vegetarian dishes such as the tofu Banh Mi sandwich or vegetarian salad rolls, both with crisp vegetables, sautéed tofu, and peanut sauce.
If you want something more casual and quick, Caffe D’arte is the spot. Caffe D’arte is a coffee shop with an elevated menu of pastries, sandwiches, and pizza made fresh to order. You can choose a grilled portabella mushroom sandwich, salad, or even a vegan pizza with a cauliflower crust.
Whether you’re following a singular veggie craving or herbivore eating every day, come to the airport early and hungry and enjoy a fresh, flavorful vegetarian meal. If none of these picked your fancy, find even more options on our interactive map below.
