Vegitarian/Regular Restaurants?

My husband has a vegitarian friend coming to town next month. He wants to eat somewhere "kansas city-ish", but neither of us know of any vegitarian restaurants (that also serve meat dishes for us to eat). When I think of KC, I think of BBQ! Any suggestions?

What can I do next?

What about Jerusalem Cafe? It is in Westport and has fantastic food. It's not exactly "Kansas City" food, but it is a staple in midtown KC.

I love J. Alexander's vege burgers! I've even gotten them "to go" and cooked at home when we had vegetarian relatives visit.
All of the other suggestions are great too. My personal favorite is the Blue Bird Bistro but since I live WAY south, I have to plan to get there. Yai Yais also has great vege options and is locally owned and operated.
What about Jaspers? Maybe a little pricey but definately a KC landmark.

Good Luck.

Eden Alley on the Plaza. Completely vegan/organic. Not been there personally, but my massage therapist raves about it. She is a health nut.

Most restaurants have at least one or two good veggie options.

Jerusalem Cafe is great.

Bluebird Bistro (17th & Summit in KCMO)is a locally owned place, great veggie options, with a few meat options, everything is organic. It can be a little pricey, but a cool place to check out. Here's their site: http://www.bluebirdbistro.com/

Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill (39th & Bell in Westport) is another great option. Locally owned, and you can make your own food or order from a menu. The veggie soup is FANTASTIC!

The Blue Moose (71st & Mission in Prairie Village) has some good options, you can order a bunch of yummy vegetarian sides and combine them into a meal.

75th Street Brewery is locally owned and a KC landmark. They have a few vegetarian options, a good pasta, an OK veggie burger, and a few other sandwiches/entrees. Plus, you can taste test some local brews!

Houston's (though not locally owned...) has a great veggie burger, my favorite. There's one on the Plaza.
