This Unique Restaurant In Nebraska Will Give You An Unforgettable Dining Experience

Some people might have thought that opening a vegan restaurant in the heart of beef country was a little crazy. But the accolades earned by this restaurant - and its ever-growing popularity - have proven the idea brilliant.

Modern Love, located in Omaha, is the state's only full-service, fully vegan restaurant. To top that off, it's owned and operated by nationally renowned chef, activist, columnist, and author Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Before you dismiss the idea of eating a meal free of any animal products, check out what Modern Love has to offer.

Modern Love Omaha opened in August 2014 .

The restaurant occupies a tiny building at 1319 South 50th Street.

Isa Chandra Moskowitz, originally from Brooklyn, relocated to Omaha for this new adventure.

Modern Love's motto is "Swanky vegan comfort food," which hits the nail on the head.

If you've never eaten vegan, you might have some preconceived ideas of what vegan food is like. If you're picturing bland or weird, Modern Love's tasty dishes will change your mind.

This isn't rabbit food - the menu isn't packed full of salads and wheatgrass juice.

This stuff is hearty, filling, and - most importantly - delicious.

Gourmet, in fact. The flavors are complex and subtle, combining to create flavors rivaled only by the finest eateries.

The menu changes monthly and revolves around locally-sourced ingredients.

The restaurant works with nearby farms to source ingredients, helping the local economy thrive.

Even strict meat-eaters have been wowed by the dishes served up here.

There are times when it's hard to believe that nothing on the menu contains meat, dairy, or eggs.

The menu is full of familiar dishes, however.

Burgers, tamales, chili, corn fritters - these are things you've probably eaten your entire life, but retooled to be tasty without the animal products.

And yes, there's dessert. Amazing dessert.

Even the vegan "ice cream" is incredible, and that's hard to pull off. The pie menu rotates, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the dessert menu.

This thoroughly unique restaurant has earned a spot in Open Table's Top 100 Restaurants in America.

And that's not just among vegetarian or vegan restaurants. Modern Love is among the top 100 of all of the restaurants in the country.

This is a unique dining experience, to be sure, and definitely not one you'll soon forget. If you want to give Modern Love a try, you'll need to plan ahead - it's unlikely you'll get a table in this popular eatery without a reservation.
