50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Raleigh

“Stopped at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. If you're a vegetarian your options are really only salads or the butternut squash ravioli, but don't let this deter you from coming. The butternut squash ravioli was the best ravioli I've ever had. It was rich and creamy with the perfect mix of mushroom and sweetness from the squash. The marinated avocado salad was delicious as well. I don't usually like blue cheese but it was very mild in this dish. The people I was with ordered the pot pie which they said was great. The service was also great and everyone was extremely friendly. Would 100% recommend.“

“AWESOME! Best Indian Food In RTP hands down!“

“My man and I went here last weekend for the first time. From the time we entered until we left, we had a phenomenal experience. Our waitress Meredith was attentive, poised and very friendly. The other staff were friendly as well.We ordered calamari for appetizers and salmon+seafood pasta for our main courses. We also had refreshing mocktails. EVERYTHING was delicious and flavorful.The icing on the cake was dining on the rooftop terrace. Although we went during the day, the vibes were definitely there and the views were amazing. We will definitely be back here soon.“

“Wow! I was encouraged by the reviews; however Michael made our experience one to remember! He was attentive and genuine. We were celebrating my bday so we started with dessert!! The best benets ever!!! The oysters are fresh and perfectly charred. Gumbo was one for the books. Do not hesitate to eat here!“

“Hands down favorite restaurant in the Triangle. Incredible dishes all flavorful, a variety of fish, chicken, pork and veggie. Highlights are the lettuce cups, papaya salad village style, curry and salmon. Love the spicy Khiew cocktail, and purple sticky rice for desert.“

“Made us something not on the menu and it was on the house! Waitstaff was very friendly :)“

“While visiting Raleigh, we stopped in to this delightful hot honey chicken eatery. I had the Carolina Reaper. Advice: Get the sauce on the side. It is a spicy devil. My everlasting love for eternity got the classic, which we split, of course. We shared fries with 2 different aioli sauces. We also shared a side of Mac and cheese. A little dry but quite tasty. No drinks or desserts this time, but I'm sure we will be returning.“

“The Bamba fries are great and so is the Taco Bamba. The 'Ol Dirty Basket quesadilla and the mulita birria was good but slightly one dimensional. The consomme was overpowering the meat. The Queen Bee taco is really different from the rest of the flavors and is definitely new age.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tonight was our first time trying Torchy's and it will definitely not be the last. Awesome vegetarian options that packed a ton of flavor. Mike and the entire team were so patient with us as we asked questions and had a sincere interest in ensuring that we were happy with everything. thank you all for an outstanding experience.“

“Food is fabulous and a wall of spirits, too, in case yours needs a lift! Their featured cocktails are delightful. It's almost always Wabbit Season for me! ?Vegetarian options: There are only a few, especially if you are GF. The beet salad is super, though. I also like their grain bowl.“

“I really enjoyed my first time at this food hall. It’s completely different from Morgan st food hall in terms of the atmosphere and food options. Its not as crowded and its not as much noise around you. I was pleased with the space. There is indoor seating with upstairs options and outdoor seating. Food was prepared fast and tasted great“

“I am so glad I came back here! If you like paneer, please try it here! I have been disappointed at so many other places that I had started to think I didn't really like paneer any more. But this experience reminded me of what I love in paneer!“

“Had the best meal ever, again! I'm never disappointed when I eat at J Alexanders. The wait was an hour, so we sat at the bar. Emily took care of us with another handsome (African-American) man (wish I would have gotten his name). They were both so attentive and detail oriented. I can't say enough about my favorites offerings... ThaiKai Salad, Steak and Frites (perfect temperature) and the Carrot Cake. The service and atmosphere are wonderful too but will take second place to the fabulous food.“

“Me and my boyfriend came here for our first date on Saturday 04/20/24, our waiter was Matthew. Service was Spectacular! My boyfriend’s favorite Italian dish is chicken Alfredo and even though it wasn’t on the menu, our waiter had the kitchen make it for my boyfriend which was so nice! I ordered the gnocchi but unfortunately they had just ran out so I opted for the 4 cheese ricotta ravioli and it was absolutely delicious. Both dishes was 10/10 Fantastic. The bread and garlic butter was sooo good. Me and my boyfriend both decided this restaurant will definitely be one of our top 5 spots to have dinner when he’s home from base. 10 stars across the whole board!“

“This is a great little spot! Some of the best and most authentic food from south of the border I've had recently. And a great authentic vibe/decor as well. The service was good and the place was very clean. They even have candy and drinks from south of the border!Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of table with chairs that can be moved to accommodate a wheelchair“

“This has to be my favorite spot for ice cream in Raleigh! I love seeing what the new flavors are every month because they're so creative. I really enjoyed learning about the story behind Two Roosters and that they source a lot of their ingredients locally like using bakery items from Sola. They also always include dairy free and/or gluten free options. It's in a great location downtown to spend an evening outside and an awesome neighborhood to walk off all the delicious ice cream you just ate!“

“Food was fantastic. atmosphere was great, service was top notch.“

“Best Traditional Indian Food in Town“

“First time ordering here — wow!!! Had the purple 2oz shot, brussel sprouts and meatless chicken sandwich. Served hot, seasoned very well, and great customer service. They just got added to our favorites.“

“I have enjoyed eating here every time I come to Raleigh during daytime hours. Their food items offer a wide variety of food choices and the amazing taste makes you question if your actually eating their healthy food selections. I also love the Juice Bar menu. I got the "Purple Haze" with vitamin shot and it is so yummy!“

“Romantic 32nd anniversary. Cocktails, dinner and service were perfecto.“

“Our meal was phenomenal. One of the best meals of my life. We ordered the spinach dip, mushroom vandouvan, spanakopita, brussels sprouts, and chocolate mousse cake. Every bite was amazing. The mushroom dish was especially decadent and I was delighted to see that it was vegan. We are trying to eat more plant-based meals, so we booked our anniversary dinner here and I am beyond glad that we did. We will certainly be back. 10/10 highly recommend.“

“Food here was amazing!! Service was really fast, and my avocado dosa was super good. My server Edwin was really nice and encouraged us to try new things, would definitely go back again!“

“Our experience at Seasons 52 was excellent, start to finish. Our server was courteous, well spoken and timely in attention to every detail. The food was delicious...good portions and well prepared. A perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, or meet with extended family and friends. Thank you.“

“A Place At The Table Raleigh is the greatest place not only to eat with all the delicious food (especially the Cinnamon Rolls), but also to volunteer since there is always something to do. I rate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I am at Glenwood often and love the main dining area and the atmosphere. The food is great especially the salmon.“

“This is my second time getting Pita Bowl for lunch and it is quickly becoming my new favorite lunch spot! I always order ahead of time and it is always ready within 5-10 minutes of my requested order time. The inside is decent sized with tables and hightop seating. There is outside seating as well. Everything comes out warm because it is made fresh and that translates into the amazing flavor! We have gotten pita bowls both times, one with chicken shawarma and one with shaved lamb. Both meat options were phenomenal, flavorful, and warm at pickup. All the toppings are delicious, many to choose from, and you can get as many as you want with no extra charge! The cilantro potatoes come out crispy and hot, so those are always a great topping. Dipping the warm pita bread in the garlic sauce and tzatziki is another favorite of mine here. Highly recommend and will be back for more lunches!“

“One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. We left in absolute awe.“

“I love the burgers here at Burger Village. There is something special about them that makes you come back again and again. The Burgers here are not ordinary but at a different level altogether. I would highly recommend this place. They also have a good collection of the draft beer.“

“Fun decor, interesting menu & tasty food. But best put of our experience was our server Katherine who was helpful, friendly & generally awesome.“

“A hidden gem with beautifully presented dishes, friendly and attentive staff, and the option to choose your level of spiciness, which is great for us as our family ranges from none to make me sweat. I particularly liked their navaratna korma, and boys couldn't get enough garlic naan. Can't wait to try their biryani.“

“Very delicious food. Always.“

“Ms. Tracy was wonderful and exceeded our expectations with tonights dining experience. She was very lovely and professional. We all three fully enjoyed the food and the service! We live a ways away but will most definitely be back for Tracy!Vegetarian options: availableParking: available“

“Great food! Great service! Great prices!“

“Excellent food at very good prices. On my list to revisit, when in the area.“

“The food at First Watch is always delicious and Justin is an excellent server!“

“We went for Mother's Day brunch, and appreciated that they offered a special menu but also allowed us to order from their standard menu. My daughter and I choose options from the special menu and were pleased with our chooses. The crab Benedict I had was one of the best I've had. Perfect poached egg coupled with the crab and Hollandaise sauce was an ideal combination.“

“It's my 1st time I'll really enjoy the food great location“

“This is my favorite stop when I’m in town. The owners and staff are amazing, the service is great, and the food even better! Having a one of a kind vegetarian menu this big is amazing. I just wish I was in town more often to try all the things! I was in for lunch a few days ago during a rush when they were short-staffed, and the owners stepped in to handle the surge. We had amazing service. Seriously the best all around.“

“Great family breakfast spot. Can’t eat enough bacon. Thanks Lathaniel for being a wonderful server!“

“Awesome meal tonight with the whole family and even got to meet the amazing chef Caroline! Our lifeling vegan kiddos loved being able to experience fresh mozzerella sticks and they totally devoured the Mac & Cheese (and they are total vegan mac snobs). The rizotto was perfectly creamy…probably my favorite thing of the night! We love supporting locally owned small (especially vegan!) businesses & Fiction truly knocks it out of the park. Special shout out to Lauren for being so warm & accommodating- hostest with the mostest tonight!Vegetarian options: All vegan.. good to goooooo!“

“I was blown away by the amazing team at Diced! Erica, Micah, Aries, and Charles not only work in great harmony with one another, they were all kind, knowledgeable about the menu options, engaging, and made sure to thank each guest for stopping in. The store was clean and food was fresh (everything looked like it was replenished regularly) and it taste wonderful! This was my first visit, but it most definitely will not be my last!“

“Yummy and fresh! Great atmosphere!“

“I loved this place so much so glad that they have were you can adopt the cats I love this place and miss my last visit“

“Super tasty and the staff was on point! Highly recommended!“

“A foodie's delight, Stanbury has set the bar high for any newcomers to the Raleigh food scene. They have some of the freshest seafood I have eaten in the area. They layer complex textures and flavors, and the balance of salt, fat and acid in every dish is near perfect. Their menu rotates, but the standouts during our last visit were the bone marrow, oysters minuet and the steak (when we went it was served with a mole/bbq sauce on the side...mmmm). Stanbury has been our favorite restaurant in Raleigh for over a decade, and I don't see anyone toppling them in the near future.“

“One of our favorite restaurants hands down! The food and service is consistently delicious!! Went in for lunch today and ordered an appetizer-asked for the sauce on the side because it was spicy but it came out tossed in the sauce. Our waitress was so apologetic about it and the manager came out and apologized and took it off the bill! We were completely blown away as my husband still ate the whole thing so we didn’t mind paying for it at all and really thought nothing of it. They really want their customers to be happy and really went above and beyond today! Our daughter also has a Peanut Allergy and the way they handle food allergies is amazing. This is one restaurant she feels confident eating at. Already looking forward to our next time back!! Thank you for the consistently delicious food, amazing wait staff and management!!!“

“Great service! The filet mignon tacos were amazing!“

“Poke Burri in Raleigh is a culinary gem that truly stands out in the vibrant food scene of the city. The owner, Agux, is a shining example of hospitality and customer service, going above and beyond to ensure that every patron feels welcomed and valued. The Super Bowl dish at Poke Burri is nothing short of amazing, a delightful combination of flavors and textures that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. If you're looking for a dining experience that not only satisfies your hunger but also warms your heart, Poke Burri is the place to be. Agux's dedication to his customers and the exceptional dishes served make this restaurant a must-visit in Raleigh.“
