Nevada: You Can Bet on These Dairy-Free Dining Options

Last Update in February 2023! We’ve created this ever-growing guide to restaurants, bakeries, cafes, ice cream shops, and stores in Nevada (from Reno to Las Vegas!) that are friendly to dairy-free diners. It’s a collection based on research and reader recommendations (send yours!) that’s divided into restaurants & shops by city (first) and major chains found throughout the state (second). And we’ve started a section for specialty dairy-free foods produced in this state.

We Update Continuously! You can ignore the original date on this post going forward. We update the information below whenever we’re alerted to a new recommendation, change, or closure.

• Veggie House ⭐️ – Chinese food is often filled with dairy-free options, but this vegan restaurant in “China Town” just off the strip is a different experience.
