Casual vegan and pescatarian restaurant, Local Green sits right on the edge of West End in Vine City, where it led the health food movement in the former food desert. During lunch, you’ll find the small, brightly lit space full of AUC students and neighborhood regulars. The menu carries rapper-themed options like the Bubba Sparxx BBQ jackfruit sandwich that deliciously pulls off the taste and texture of pulled pork. And the salmon sliders with a citrusy herbal sauce is another satisfying item that makes this place a great go-to for groups with different diets. The smoothies get in on the fun too, with names like Cell Therapy and Kryptonite (shouts out to Goodie Mob and Big Boi).
