Best Vegan Restaurants in Highland, IN

It's no exaggeration when I say that my dining experience at Maple Tree Inn was one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had! My niece and I couldn't believe this was our first visit, especially after hearing so many great things. This place is incredibly popular, so I definitely recommend making reservations. After checking in, we waited less than five minutes and struck up a fun conversation with two lovely ladies who were also first-timers. It was the perfect start to the evening. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and inviting, with Mardi Gras beads and colorful carnival masks throughout the restaurant that give it so much character. Our server was fantastic. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but he was friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations made choosing from so many tempting options much easier. Now let's talk about the food... EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious! 😋 To kick things off, I ordered the Creole Voodoo Zombie, and my niece had the Hurricane. Both cocktails were fantastic and set the tone for an amazing meal. My niece is an excellent cook herself and has dietary restrictions, so dining out can often be disappointing. That's what made this experience even more special—she genuinely loved every bite. We started with the crab cake appetizer and the BBQ shrimp appetizer, and both were packed with incredible flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the blackened ribeye, swapping the broccolini for the collard greens (worth the $3 upcharge!). The steak was perfectly cooked, and those collard greens were phenomenal. My niece chose the blackened red snapper êtouffée, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Even though we were completely full, we couldn't leave without dessert. We choose the Mississippi Mud Turtle Brownie topped with marshmallow fluff and the strawberry shortcake. Our server suggested pairing the brownie with a butterscotch liqueur, and I'm so glad I took his recommendation- 10/10

This place is incredible, I would come back a million times. The hummus and the lamb shank were so delicious. Drinks were unique and so tasty too. Sit on the roof during nice weather and watch the sun go down while you eat. No complaints. 10/10

Absolutely wonderful experience! The service was excellent from beginning to end. The staff was incredibly attentive, and the manager even came by personally to greet our table, which was such a nice touch. The food was delicious with plenty of options to choose from. The brunch selection was excellent, the tea was amazing, and the mimosas were honestly the best I’ve had in a while! The atmosphere was just as impressive as the food. The restaurant was spotless, beautifully decorated, and the authentic decor created such an immersive and memorable experience. Everything from the ambiance to the service made the visit feel special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, great drinks, and a beautiful dining experience!
