If you’re flying out of, or landing into, the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and are now trying to find out what the vegan options are in the airport – you are in the right place!
In this guide, we’ll show you what’s vegan and where you can find each one inside the airport.
The Ronald Reagan Airport Dining Page has a cool feature that allows you to sort all of their restaurants by filters. One of those filters is vegan.
If you know something we don’t, please reach out to us and let us know so we can update and improve this guide!
Vegan Options at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
On some of the chain restaurant locations, you’ll notice a link to our dedicated guide for that restaurant. Click on any of those links to see the full list of options at that particular chain. Be aware that airport menus can vary.
Pre-Security
District Bar (Terminal A Gates 1-9)
This is the first of the locations we were just talking about. They pass the ‘vegan filter’, but we’ve not yet confirmed what on their menu is vegan and how it needs to be ordered.
There is a Cauliflower Wrap on the menu that looks promising, but again, we’ve not confirmed yet.
National Hall
Dunkin’ (just outside of Gate B)
No vegan donuts, but multiple bagel selections (like Everything and Cinnamon Raisin), Avocado Toast and Hashbrowns makes Dunkin a decent choice.
Dunkin’ also now offers both Almond and Oat Milk (though at an extra charge) which makes many coffee combinations possible.
Ben’s Chili Bowl (just outside of Gate C)
A VeggL user let us know Ben’s Chili Bowl offers vegan options! They have a vegan chili and offer a choice of Beyond or Impossible burgers. We suggest verifying your vegan options prior to ordering.
Thank you for this recommendation, Tori!
Chick Fil-A (in between Gates C and D)
You can always go with the Waffle Fries if you’re just looking for a quick snack to hold you over to your destination. If you’re wanting something a bit (okay, a lot) more healthy then the Kale Crunch Side is vegan as well.
Finally, this will require a bit of modification and is not available at every airport location, but a modified Cool Wrap is actually really delicious. If it is available, order it with NO chicken, cheese or avocado lime dressing. Grab some Polynesian Sauce to dip it in.
Starbucks (just outside of Gate D)
Plenty of coffee drinks & combos you can create with oat, almond, soy or coconut milk. We have a list of Starbucks options broken down by hot & cold drinks plus modifications.
And don’t forget they have a few food options. Look for the Chickpea & Avocado Protein Box, a bagel (plain, cinnamon raisin or everything), Strawberry Overnight Grains or Oatmeal. They also have plenty of snacks. Check the ingredient lists.
A Gates
Custom Burger (on your way to Gates 1-9)
The name pretty much says it all. We have not confirmed yet which of their burgers or sides are vegan and what substitutions (if any) are needed but this is supposed to be a vegan-friendly restaurant according to the airport’s website.
Just looking at their menu, they have a vegetable burger and a mushroom burger. We’re guessing one of those (or both) may be their vegan option.
Dunkin’ (on your way to Gates 1-9)
No vegan donuts, but multiple bagel selections (like Everything and Cinnamon Raisin), Avocado Toast (with Roasted Tomatoes) and Hashbrowns make Dunkin a decent choice.
Dunkin’ offers both Almond, Oat Milk and Coconut Milk (at extra charge) which makes many coffee combinations possible.
Reservoir (on your way to Gates 1-9)
A restaurant with vegan options according to the airport’s website but no menu items are notated as being vegan. The ones I would suggest asking about is the Steel Cut Oatmeal, Veggie Quinoa Burger, Fruit Plate and Quinoa Salad.
If you stop by and learn more, please let us know!
B Gates
Dunkin’ (on your way to Gates 15-22)
No vegan donuts, but multiple bagel selections (like Everything and Cinnamon Raisin), Avocado Toast (with Roasted Tomatoes) and Hashbrowns make Dunkin a decent choice.
Dunkin’ offers both Almond, Oat Milk and Coconut Milk (at extra charge) which makes many coffee combinations possible.
Cava Mezze Grill (Gate B16)
Cava is a combo of Greek and Mediterranean inspired flavors served in bowls and pitas.
It’s a fast casual, build-your-own type of spot. We recommend checking out our full Cava Guide for all available options, but there are plenty of them including falafel, harissa and hummus just to name a few.
One word of advice: If they say something is spicy, believe them! I love spicy food and have had my eyes watering on more than one occasion at Cava.
Lickity Split (Gate B17)
Lickity Split is a grab-and-go kiosk with vegan options according to the airport’s website. If you find any specific options, please let us know so we can help the next vegan traveler coming thru the airport.
Starbucks (Gate B18)
Plenty of coffee drinks & combos you can create with oat, almond, soy or coconut milk. We have a list of Starbucks options broken down by hot & cold drinks plus modifications.
And don’t forget they have a few food options. Look for the Chickpea & Avocado Protein Box, a bagel (plain, cinnamon raisin or everything), Strawberry Overnight Grains or Oatmeal. They also have plenty of snacks. Check the ingredient lists.
C Gates
Dunkin’ (Gate C23 & C32)
No vegan donuts, but multiple bagel selections (like Everything and Cinnamon Raisin), Avocado Toast (with Roasted Tomatoes) and Hashbrowns make Dunkin a decent choice.
Dunkin’ offers both Almond, Oat Milk and Coconut Milk (at extra charge) which makes many coffee combinations possible.
Big Bowl (Gate C25)
Big Bowl is an authentic Chinese and Thai restaurant with vegan options according to the airport’s website.
A VeggL user let us know Big Bowl offers a vegan menu item called, Emperor’s Tofu and Vegetables. Thank you for the info, Christopher!
Taylor Gourmet (Gate C25/27)
A VeggL user let us know that Taylor Gourmet offers a vegan Cumberland Hoagie with falafel, tahini dressing, and veggies. Thank you for the info, Luca!
Lebanese Taverna (Gate C27)
Lebanese Taverna is a local Lebanese chain with vegan options according to the airport’s website. Their menu looks promising but nothing is notated as being vegan. Ask about their hommus veggie wrap, falafel wrap, falafel salad and hommus veggie cup.
D Gates
Dunkin’ (Gate D35 & D45)
No vegan donuts, but multiple bagel selections (like Everything and Cinnamon Raisin), Avocado Toast (with Roasted Tomatoes) and Hashbrowns make Dunkin a decent choice.
Dunkin’ offers both Almond, Oat Milk and Coconut Milk (at extra charge) which makes many coffee combinations possible.
& Pizza (Gate D40)
If you’re not familiar with & Pizza, they are a ‘create-your-own’ pizza place similar to a Blaze or MOD Pizza.
In addition to the dozens of fresh veggies you would normally expect, they also carry a vegan sausage, vegan mozzarella and a spicy chickpea topping that is ridiculously good. Yum!
Kapnos Taverna (Gate D37)
Kapnos Taverna serves classic and coastal-inspired Greek dishes with vegan options according to the airport’s website. If you find any specific options, please let us know.
Wow Bao (Gate D37)
Wow Bao serves various Chinese cuisines with vegan options, again, according to the airport’s website. If you find any specific options, please let us know.
Washington Pour Bar (Gate D43)
Capital City-themed gastro pub inspired with vegan options, again, according to the airport’s website. None of the menu items are notated as vegan. They offer guac or salsa with chips. And we suggest asking about their Beyond Burger.
E Gates
P.F. Chang’s (Gate E47)
Options and preparation may vary by location. Let your server know you are vegan. Ask for more information on the ingredients used in the following options before ordering.
Our favorites from P.F. Chang’s are their Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps, Ma Po Tofu and Buddha’s Feast.
Peet’s Coffee (Gate E48)
Peet’s offers coffee and non-dairy milk options. They also offer 2 vegan sandwich options but we have been notified by multiple VeggL users that airport locations typically do not carry their vegan sandwich options. We suggest asking just in case.
Our vegan guide
for Peet’s would be good to cross-reference when ordering.
Elevation Burger (on your way to Gates 50-59)
Burger restaurant with vegan options according to the airport’s website. None of the menu items are noted as vegan. They offer an Impossible or Veggie Burger with Classic Olive Oil Fries so we suggest asking about those. Don’t forget to ask if the burger bun is vegan as well.
According to a VeggL user, the Impossible Burger comes with dairy-free cheese so we’re hoping the entire thing is vegan. We are trying to confirm this. Thank you, Luca for this extra info!
If you learn more, please let us know!
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Bites (Gate 59)
The last restaurant the airport says offers vegan options with none of them notated. After a quick menu glance, we suggest asking about the Avocado Toast, Hummus & Pita, Marcona Almonds, Spanish Olives and Market Vegetable Skewers.
