Best Vegan Restaurants in Saint Paul

Initial inspection was pleasant. When you enter the restaurant, you'll see it's well appointed with mostly natural materials (namely stone walls, funky glass vases, and a very pretty open kitchen). The service was attentive, but not overbearing. The only low was the filet tenderloin. While the sauce was delicious, and the visual was amazing, the meat itself didn't quite make the mark. Otherwise, the appetizers and desert were all amazing and performed. In the end, I would highly recommend this as a great fine-ish (not quite casual, not quite fine dining) dining experience.

We absolutely loved the Vegan Valentine's Dinner at the Howe. The food was delicious and the drinks were yummy and well-suited to the pairings. The range and amount were great, and the service was outstanding. We love to go to the Howe because they understand vegans and have great options for us. Our only concerns on this night was the cost -- which I guess couldn't be helped because of the amount of food and drink, etc. and also the room was very cold. Luckily we were near the fireplace. All in all it was a wonderful experience.

I am in a wheelchair normally. We arrived with a reservation during a snowstorm. There was handicapped parking listed on the website and it was open and easy to use right by the valet parking. My husband went in and they seated us right away in a very handicapped accessible area. I did not need to use my wheelchair it was so nice. The wait staff is superb. The bar staff really knew their stuff. Wish more wines on the menu that were not from California. The food was superb. This is a very special occasion restaurant my family has been to for years for family birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversaries. It never disappoints. It was hard when they closed to remodel but when they reopened, we were back and it was a beautiful space. My family was in St. Paul. We are in Cambridge and we still drive there.

Really enjoyed our experience at 1881! 2 couples celebrated Valentines night at the Union Depot! Service was good, and the food was very good! Free parking indoors made it even better, considering the snow falling outside! We will go back again!

The restaurant is lovely, the food is delicious, and the service is absolutely fantastic. We celebrated my daughter’s 22nd birthday on this visit. The server was incredibly kind and attentive and went out of his way to make her feel special.
