Did you know that the Melting Pot has a four-course vegan menu at select locations? Each location is locally operated and owned so it's not a fully national option, but many locations, including Longwood do offer this upon request. The Longwood Melting Pot vegan fare was so good that I decided to have my wedding rehearsal dinner there! What is so amazing about this offering is that it includes both sweet and savory courses. Continue below to learn more about this amazing hidden gem!

In Conclusion...
If you're vegan, a visit to the Melting Pot is a MUST! There really are so few situations in life where you can get vegan fondue of both CHEESE and CHOCOLATE varieties. The middle courses are okay but the beginning and end really seal the deal for me!
