Vertical Diner, Vegan restaurant in Salt Lake City, United States
Vertical Diner is a vegan restaurant in Salt Lake City that serves plant-based comfort food, from burgers and breakfast plates to buffalo-style tenders. The menu is built around organic ingredients and includes a wide range of gluten-free options.
The restaurant opened in 2007, built on the experience of an earlier vegan dining spot its founder had run in the city. It arrived at a time when plant-based eating was beginning to find a larger audience in Salt Lake City.
Inside, a room called the Jade Room pays tribute to the former Jade Cafe that once occupied this spot for decades. Guests who look around can still pick up on small details that connect the space to its past life in the neighborhood.
The diner sits east of downtown Salt Lake City and is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It tends to draw a steady local crowd, so arriving outside of peak meal hours can make the visit more relaxed.
Vertical Diner serves its full breakfast menu all day, which sets it apart from most other spots in the city. This means pancakes or tofu scramble are just as available at dinner time as they are first thing in the morning.
