Alice & Friends'

This casual vegan restaurant in Edgewater, with motivational quotes like “share the world with all beings” on the wall, is probably exactly what your non-vegetarian friends expect a vegan restaurant to be like. The Asian-inspired food is great - for example, the seitan skewers, marinated in turmeric and other spices, are moist and flavorful. Plus, they have a fantastic shrimp substitute (add it to the spring rolls). The fact that you can BYOB also doesn’t hurt.
