Loving Hut

Bring your vegan friend to Loving Hut, a plant-based restaurant in Williamsburg, and watch their brain explode over the many, many menu options. You could go the Asian route with dishes like alfalfa rice rolls with jicama, bean curds and assorted veggies ($5), curry udon noodle soup ($8), pad thai ($8) or General Tso’s tofu delight with baby broccoli ($14). You could also get a vegan burger topped with “facon” and vegan cheese ($9), butternut squash risotto ($11) or an artisan flatbread topped with arugula, olives, sun dried tomatoes, portobello, crimini, oyster and shiitake mushrooms ($10). There’s even a whole section of the menu devoted to vegan mac and cheese with chipotle peppers, mushrooms, caramelized onions or creamed spinach (all $8). Loving Hut also makes fresh juices ($6 for a small, $7 for a large) and smoothies ($5) on site and don’t forget to save room for vegan desserts like carrot cake ($7), cheesecake ($5) and a selection of donuts that changes daily ($3).
