A Celebration of Flavor, Style, and Community
In a city known for indulgence, The Modern Vegan has carved out a niche that is vibrant, unapologetic, and full of life. This Las Vegas hotspot redefines plant-based dining, fusing comfort food with a contemporary, energetic atmosphere.
More than a restaurant, it’s a destination, a place where flavor becomes celebration and every guest feels part of something exciting.
The menu is as ambitious as it is alluring, boasting over 100 plant-based dishes. Iconic favorites include the legendary Chicken & Waffles, golden and crisp with an irresistible balance of sweet and savory. The Mac Attack Burger, crowned “Best Meatless Burger in Las Vegas” four years running, continues to draw acclaim, while the Buffalo Cauliflower Wings convert even the most skeptical diners. For the adventurous, the Game Changer delivers a playful take on indulgence: a deep-fried bacon double cheeseburger, crafted entirely vegan. And for brunch, few dishes surprise and delight like the Crabcake Benedict, a revelation in plant-based luxury.
Seasonality keeps the experience fresh. This fall brings a pumpkin-spiced tiramisu and butternut squash ravioli, offering cozy flavors with a Modern Vegan twist. November ushers in the much-anticipated Bobbi, a holiday-inspired sandwich layered with turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce, embodying comfort in every bite.
Even the bar program reflects creativity, with cocktails highlighting local ingredients to keep the experience dynamic.
Community is woven into the fabric of The Modern Vegan. From high-energy brunch collaborations with groups like Vegas Girls Events to lively drag brunches, comedy nights, and themed gatherings, the restaurant thrives on transforming meals into shared experiences. Accessibility also remains a priority, with eco-conscious delivery and takeout packaging ensuring that the Modern Vegan spirit travels beyond the dining room.
Sustainability underscores every detail. Compostable containers, paper straws, and thoughtful waste-reduction practices complement the plant-based menu, reflecting a holistic approach to mindful dining. Even the beverage program reflects this ethos, pairing indulgent plates with wines, cocktails, and champagnes that surprise and delight. A crisp Freixenet alongside Truffle Mac & Cheese, or a spicy margarita balancing a rich comfort dish, demonstrates how elegance and playfulness coexist effortlessly.
Happy hour at The Modern Vegan has quickly become one of the Strip’s best-kept secrets, running weekdays from 4 to 6 PM. With two-for-one sides, half-off beverages, and irresistible specials on apps, burgers, and sandwiches, it’s a chance to indulge without restraint.
For those seeking a culinary experience that is at once inclusive, innovative, and indulgent, The Modern Vegan is not just a restaurant; it is a statement. Here, plant-based dining reaches new heights of creativity, proving that luxury, flavor, and sustainability can live on the same plate.
