Westby is a small town in Wisconsin with a population of around 2,200 people. Named after a local man who served his country during the Civil War and later established the first general store in town, the city has a charming look. You can walk down Main Street and feel completely at home as you shop for antiques and check out the local scene. While the town doesn't have any restaurants specifically devoted to vegetarian and vegan dishes, you will find a few restaurants that offer healthy and delicious meals for those who don't eat meat.
Make your first stop in town at Borgens Cafe, which is a
locally owned restaurant that is popular among residents of Westby and
neighboring towns. The restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch and
dinner. When you tuck into a plate of thick and fluffy Belgian waffles, you
won't mind if those sitting nearby dine on bacon or sausage. Borgens Cafe has a
full service soup and salad bar available for lunch and dinner guests. You'll
find plenty of soups that don't feature meats on the bar. Make sure you stick
around for dessert too. The restaurant offers homemade cookies, pies, muffins
and even scones.
One of the best places to eat in town is the Westby House
Inn & Restaurant, which also operates as a bed and breakfast. Its menu
features some great dishes for those who don't eat meat. You can opt for the
soup and salad combination that comes with homemade rolls that are fluffier and
softer than any you had in the past. The Asian garden salad is another top
choice. This salad features savoy cabbage, carrots and other large vegetables
mixed with sliced almonds and topped with a slightly sweet and spicy dressing,
The Westby Central Express is something of a one stop shop
for residents of this little community. It functions as a gas station,
convenience store, motel and restaurant. While house specialties include fried
cheese curds and other deep fried items, there are a few vegetarian and vegan
friendly options on the menu like a vegetable omelet served with toast, bagels,
large salads and even sundaes with homemade ice cream. If you eat fish, you'll
find even more options on the menu.
Though Westby, WI doesn't have any specialized vegan or
vegetarian restaurants, it is home to restaurants with some veggie dishes on
the menu.
