Vegetarian food can be astoundingly good for sure. I do have veg meals a few times a week, especially after finding an amazing Indian place nearby. Beyond meat cravings, I can't replace many meals with veg because no matter how much I eat I'm hungry again in half the time without meat in the mix. As you say veg can be cheaper to cook, but besides my local Indian place good veg food seems to only be available at overpriced restaurants.

Definitely it can feel like restaurants are taking the piss charging the same for a vego main despite much much cheaper ingredients being used.
My partner used to have the same complaints about vego food! The right recipes can be just as filling (a lot you come across incidentally may be designed to be “healthy” and therefore lower calorie). If you’re interested, “Flavour” by Yotam Ottolenghi is full of really excellent vegetarian food which is filling and isn’t very demanding on your cooking skills. But unavoidably, it does take more time to make a passable meal than a meat dish.
