Many associate Sevierville, Tennessee with Appalachia living with its stunning location within the Appalachian Mountains. As such, it might not be a place that you naturally associate with quality vegan and vegetarian dining. Au contraire! This charming mountain town actually has a lot of fantastic restaurants that embrace plant-based cuisine either in part or in full. This makes Sevierville an excellent vacation spot for those seeking meatless and dairy-free meals.
Still don’t believe us? Just take a look at the following snapshot of some of the very best vegan and vegetarian eats located right here in Sevierville, TN:
Healthy Balance Meals
Healthy Balance Meals | 313 Court Ave, Sevierville, TN 37862
Healthy Balance Meals is a small restaurant located within a bustling strip mall right in between US Highway 441 and Court Avenue. Healthy Balance Meals has a unique take on restaurant food as they have your traditional sit-in dining area with its menu, but then they also have what is called a Take Home Meal menu. This latter menu features foods that they make on-site and then frozen for customers to take home to reheat for home or work. This Take Home Menu features bulk items, making it easy for families to grab a ton of goods at an affordable rate to enjoy in their vacation lodgings.
But let’s get back to the vegetarian highlights! Healthy Balance Meals is not fully vegan and vegetarian, but they do offer some really delicious non-meat and non-dairy meals. Vegans can enjoy items like the Veggie Wrap which features organic spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and red peppers with a creamy pesto dressing. For vegetarians, there are plenty of options like grilled cheese, cheese and bean burritos, and more.
Curry N More
Curry N More | 903 Parkway, Sevierville, TN 37862
Curry N More is a popular eatery with a location just south of Sevierville’s downtown district on US 441. Being a curry house, this place certainly is known for good Indian dishes, but don’t typecast it as just an Indian restaurant. Curry N More lives up to that second half of its name by featuring a menu full of traditional dishes and those influenced by other cultures like the British, Portuguese, and Arabic culinary scenes. Their menu is also conveniently split between vegetarian-friendly entrees and non-vegetarian entrees.
Curry is, naturally, the most popular type of food on the menu at Curry N More and vegetarians will have plenty of savory options to choose from. There’s the Paneer Butter Masala featuring a creamy and mildly sweet gravy that’s been made with butter, tomatoes, cashews, pander, and special spices, and the very popular Algoo Gobi featuring cumin-tempered potatoes, spring onions, garlic, ginger, and asafetida that we definitely recommend for those looking for a big and delicious vegetarian meal. Don’t forget to pair your meal with one of their homemade breads, such as the Garlic Naan or Cheese Kulcha.
