People usually visit this vegan spot on in the Financial District to try the plant-based Mexican staples, but the burger is worth a visit too. The Rosaburger patty is made from a mix of rice, black bean, and beets. Served on Wonderbead, it almost tastes like a takeout burger, but healthier.

Brought to the city by the same people behind Kupfert and Kim, this West Queen West restaurant has a few standout patties if you’re looking for something meat-free.

Burgers here are always amazing, period. It’s no surprise that even the veggie burger is on point. The Grazer is a panko-crusted portobello mushroom, stuffed with feta and cream cheese. They also offer the Holy Vegan burger at their store by St. Clair station.
