The Owlery Restaurant

We spent a couple of days in the Bloomington/Nashville, Indiana, area and were thrilled to find a hip GF and vegan friendly place a short walk from our hotel. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. The menu was packed with delicious sounding healthy items we could eat. I chose a bowl and my wife picked out sweet potato fries and veggies with hummus dip. All were very enjoyable, and the portion sizes were huge. Highly recommend for diets of all types.

Small eatery serving vegetarian and vegan dishes. The Owlery offers outdoor seating in the heart of a food and shopping district. I ordered the pesto portobello sandwich which was amazing! The slaw was unique and savory. The server was pleasant and food came out fast and fresh.

The Owlery gets its inspiration from the Harry Potter series. Pictures of owls blanket the walls everywhere. The place serves good vegan food.I ordered the vegan Reuben sandwich with poutine fries.The Reuben is made with fried tempeh: sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, and vegan or swiss cheese. Tempeh is made from cooked soybeans and has the texture of meat. They managed to copy the taste of corn beef very well. The poutine gravy was very thick very and reminded me of French onion soup that was a little salty but flavorful. The cheese curds were creamy and just okay.If you're in the Bloomington area check this place out.

Another great win in Bloomington! I'll preface this, I'm not vegan or vegetarian but a few people I was traveling with are big fans so we tried this and I was not disappointed. Ambiance-wise this was great, we walked in and it's a very welcoming atmosphere. Its modern, upscale and really lovely inside overall. Personally one of my favorite aesthetics. The food, wow I didn't know vegetarian food could taste like this! I think we all got a bowl of some form and it was outright wonderful. Flavorful, well spiced, and light which was a great addition usually when we travel we end up eating heavier than I like to so this was a genuine treat. Last let's wrap up with service, there's something about the Midwest people are super friendly and I'm not used to it. I certainly won't complain though it's nice. Our server was polite, peppy, and plesant the whole time! She was attentive throughout the entire dining experience refilling water, making sure we had what we needed and best of all not hovering like crazy. I've been to a lot of places where the wait staff hover and it just annoys me, not here though! All in all, super well done vegetarian place, delicious food, and wonderful service and atmosphere. Well done, a well deserved 4! See you next time I'm in town.

We were recommended the nachos and it did not disappoint. It came with corn chips, vegan or cheddar cheese, cashew queso, black beans, pico de gallo, shredded romaine lettuce, pickled red onions, creamy cayenne-lime sauce. The cashew queso was the best part, with great flavor. The fries (regular and sweet potato) were also favorites at the table. The sandwiches were underwhelming. The BLT tofu bacon sandwich was dry. The server was friendly and attentive. They got pretty busy during Saturday lunch hours. There wasn't a dedicated parking lot so we found street parking nearby.

I feel sort of evil giving the only overtly vegan-supporting restaurant in town a three-star rating, but they haven't climbed out of their rut. We did another takeout to see if food has improved, and it's just OK. We should've avoided the mac & cheese side. It's pretty flavorless if with vegan cheese. The macadamia-coconut encrusted tofu has reasonable flavor but it tasted as though they hadn't changed their fry oil in a long time. The prices are exceedingly high for the social creds one gets from this veggie/vegan restaurant. They just aren't worth it, in our opinion. We want to support meat-free eating, but the flavor and prep have to be up to modern standards. You can tell when a chef's budget and soul is in their cooking, and it doesn't feel that way-- and it was at one time, the one to beat.

Great spot for vegans and vegetarians. Very filling. Nice staff. Indoor and outdoor seating.

I was skeptical because I am FAR from vegetarian. But my boyfriend knows I'm picky these days about restaurants and ingredient lists, so we thought we'd give The Owlery a try. I loved the inside of the restaurant! It was very small, but clean and well-maintained. Didn't care for the indie music, but that's purely personal taste, and I'm not the target demographic anyway. I had the Mushroom Banh Mi sandwich, and WOW. It was probably on my top 10 list of best sandwiches I've ever had. It so spicy that it was literally painful, but I didn't stop because the flavor was SO good. I took the jalapeños off the second half, and that turned the spice down a lot. $16 sounds crazy for a sandwich without meat, but it was so good, I actually think it was worth it. 5/5 stars, will be returning with friends and family.

I had a half serving of poutine with sweet potato fries and real cheese curds, and a vegan brownie for dessert. Everything was delicious. The server was the friendliest person ever and they gave me great tips on how much to order in relation to my appetite. My only complaint was that they don't serve decaf, which would have been great with the brownie.

When I first walked in and found out, it was a vegan restaurant. I almost turned around and went out. However I was very nicely met by the young man that waited on me and described several things on the menu, which I chose one of the tofu type salad that was actually very good. To my surpriseIn a nice casual setting and the price was good!I would definitely go here again
