These are in no particular order – trying to choose a real No. 1 would be wayyyy too hard. But we’ve got flavorful vegan favorites from the OGs of Orlando veggie dining (like Garden Cafe and Singh’s Roti Shop) to the new kids on the block (like Leguminati and Market on South). —Jessica Bryce Young

BBQ jackfruit sandwich at Market on South 2603 E. South St., 407-854-3330, marketonsouth.com The meaty chunks of jackfruit in Carolina BBQ sauce are eerily similar to pulled pork, and the kale slaw and cashew mayo add crisp and cream, but the pièce de résistance is the candied lemon zest scattered over the top. Pure genius. Photo via Yelp user Sameer K.
