There’s plenty for vegetarians to choose from at this eclectic little French-style cafe. In the way of soups, they have barley vegetable and a gloriously rich tomato basil. Vegetarian entrees include the Mediterranean flatbread, vegetarian hot sandwich, spinach pochette, Mediterranean pasta, tomato basil pasta, quiche florentine and more. For breakfast you can enjoy potato galettes, oatmeal, omelets, and French toast.
Used to have a Downtown location, but that’s now closed.
Sidewalk or patio dining: No
Pedestrian Access: Poor – Camp Bowie out past I-30 isn’t the most friendly walking neighborhood.
Bicycle Access: No bike routes or lanes or trails, no bike parking. Camp Bowie is high-traffic. Difficult all around.
Transit access: Depending on where you’re coming from, the T bus routes 2W, 27, and 32 could all take you there/nearly there.
Car access: Parking in front.

UNO’s menu is ridiculously huge, and spans far further than just pizza. But if you’re craving deep-dish Chicago-style pizza, this is the place to go. They have three or four vegetarian deep dishes, as well as two vegetarian flat-bread pizza. Their non-pizza items include a roasted veggie soup, grilled vegetarian sandwich, veggie burger, and salads. UNO also has a gluten-free menu, which includes a gluten-free tomato and mozzarella flatbread pizza.
Sidewalk or patio dining: No
Pedestrian Access: Excellent
Bicycle Access: Downtown is quite bikeable, but two things to watch out for: high car traffic on weekends from suburbanites who might not know what to do about a bike on the street, and typically skimpy Fort Worth bike rack selection.
Transit access: Downtown is the convergence of all of The T’s bus routes – the system map can help in untangling them. Also, Molly the Trolley (a bus made up to look like an old trolley that runs a simple circulator route through Downtown) is extremely easy to use. Ride it and you’ll be helping get us a real streetcar.
Car access: Parking on street and nearby garages
