27 Vegetarian Friendly Restaurants in Old Town Scottsdale and surrounding areas!

My sister Janet came to visit last week, which also happened to be her birthday.  While I could recommend plenty of restaurants, she's a vegetarian and it was important to me that there were lots of good options on the menu for her too.  I asked my community on Nextdoor.com and was so thankful for the many helpful responses on vegetarian friendly restaurants near the Old Town area.  It was such a great list, I felt it needed to be shared.  So here we go!  In no particular order:

Old Town Scottsdale:
1. FnB - a classy joint, think Farm to Table.  I'd recommend making a reservation here.  We went for her birthday, on a Wednesday and the restaurant was booked.  We did get to sit at the bar though and just LOVED it.  Other notes from fellow neighbors: FnB Chef Charleen Badman is the Wizard of Veggies. Order a lot of sides to share—there is nothing quite like it. And owner also put Arizona wines on the national map.
2. The Herb Box - if you haven't been here in the last year, note that it moved across the street to the old 5th & Wine location.
3. Cornish Pasty - tons of vegetarian options!
4. Barrio Queen - my personal favorite Mexican restaurant.
5. Original Chop Shop (also there is an Arcadia location)
6. Malee’s Thai Bistro - delicious, vegan and vegetarian options.
7. Kaleidoscope juice bar - they also make smoothies,  avocado toast & vegetarian breakfast burritos.
