Fellow Traveler: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Fellow Traveler is a vegan bar and kitchen on South Broadway in Englewood, Colorado, and every food item on its ordering menu carries a vegan label. A vegetarian can order anything. The restaurant pitches itself as vegan grub, sexy drinks, and good vibes. The menu backs up the grub part with comfort food built on soy curls, tofu, mushrooms, and Impossible patties.

Start with the sandwiches, which cost $18 each and come with house-cut fries. The Double Onion Cheese Burger stacks smashed Impossible patties with grilled onions, cheeze, dill pickles, and burger sauce. The Banh Mi pairs marinated tofu with mushroom pate, pickled vegetables, and sriracha mayo on a toasted baguette. Buffalo of the Sea fries buffalo-marinated oyster mushrooms and dresses them with remoulade. The Philly piles marinated soy curls, roasted red peppers, mushroom pate, and queso into one sandwich.

Shareable plates run $13 to $14. The Chili Cheese Croquette comes with morita and pasilla bean chili and a jalapeno and charred scallion crema. Tom Kha Cauliflower gets a sweet coconut sriracha sauce, and Loaded Asada Fries top house-cut fries with asada-marinated soy curls, green chile, queso, and avocado crema. Mains include Cheesy Potato and Chorizo Tacos with house soyrizo for $14, Panang Fried Rice for $17, and the Deep South Broadway Burrito, smothered in green chile for $17. Biscuits and Gravy costs $17 and comes under sausage gravy.

Brunch runs Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., on top of the regular menu. The Full English costs $17 and loads a plate with tofu, home fries, smoky seitan, a sausage patty, grilled tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, and buttered toast. Avocado toast with vegan feta costs $13, and thick-cut French toast costs $12. For dessert, Darlene’s Downeast Chocolate Cake is vegan and gluten free, finished with oreo butter cream and a peanut butter glaze.

The bar pours classics like the daiquiri, negroni, and sazerac next to seasonal cocktails. A zero-proof section covers drinkers who skip alcohol, including an n/alort, a Malort without the alcohol. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the dining room only. Weekly specials include three tacos for $7.77 on Tuesday, dine-in only, and $1 off amaro pours on Wednesday. The restaurant makes no claim that its beer, wine, or spirits are vegan, so ask if that matters to you.

Allergies need a conversation. The kitchen is not certified free of any allergen and cooks with nuts, seeds, gluten, and soy, so tell your server before you order. Many dishes carry a gluten-free tag. If you pay online by credit card, expect a 3 percent fee on top.

Kitchen hours are Monday through Thursday from noon to 8:30 p.m., Friday from noon to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pickup and delivery orders go through the restaurant’s site. Catering requests go to [email protected].

Go on a Saturday, order the Chili Cheese Croquette for the table, and split a Double Onion Cheese Burger.
