50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Cleveland

“We have an absolutely amazing time every time we eat here! Perfect for a romantic, late night reservation with a group of 6 or less. Kitchen closes at 9 so get your order in- but the waitress told us right away so we didn't miss it! Great recommendations and waitress very knowledgeable about specials and favorites. GLUTEN FREE chicken breading options as well!!!!!! 10/10“

“Astoria is a fun place for brunch that I've been told is a good place to meet your friends from the far side of town. I'd definitely recommend reservations. The dining area is on the small side and there was a pretty big line when we left. That being said, the staff were really friendly, service was great, and I've been dreaming of that fried chicken. We had the full brunch beverage array - water, coffee, and a fun drink. The menu isn't huge, but everything looked good, and there are some intriguing boards I'd like to sample. I had the chicken and biscuit, and the chicken was fantastic. I'm sure the biscuit was good, too, but I was pretty honed in on the chicken. The skin SNAPS when you bite it! So good! The food was well seasoned, and the staff were really nice about letting us take our time, even on a busy day.“

“Amazing filet Mignon! Do not I repeat DO NOT add sauce as the meat with a pinch of Black Sea salt is amazing just the way it is. I’ve never had a beautifully cooked medium filet stay warm all the way thru the eating experience..Bottomline wow!“

“Fabulous French restaurant. Concierge at a local hotel tells me there's a good French restaurant within walking distance. In Cleveland? OK... I went in. Sat at the bar. Great service. Great bartender. Get a whiskey. I take a look at the menu. And then it hits me. I am sitting in some corner of Cleveland and this is a LEGIT good French restaurant. Really. Cleveland. And yes people I do know my way around French restaurants. From Le Bernadin in NYC to the French family kitchens to every sort of Parisian restaurant from high to low. I had a fabulous glass of Chinon wine, authentically French. The sommelier knew his stuff. A+ And among other things I tried the vegetarian cassoulet. And it worked, with a nice mix of sweet potatoes and mushrooms along with the classic cassoulet flavor. Inventive. Great menu, great wines and cocktails. Friendly staff. L'Albatros is terrific. Five stars. Congrats. *****“

“What a find! We were looking for a steakhouse close to Tower City and decided to venture out and try Batuqui. The intimate atmosphere and spectacular food, service and ambience make this a must-repeat on our next visit to Cleveland. Steak, lamb, and piping hot coalho cheese... I highly recommend this unique place for anyone who loves steak and anything else Brazilian.“

“The ambiance is superb, I highly recommend this restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Special thanks to varshi, (varshita). We all enjoyed your delicious(iftar)food (especially chicken haleem and biryani which was made by Chief adanan and thanks to fardeen for arranging iftar.“

“Fantastic dinner! We had one of the best caesar salads ever! The rosemary bread is so dense and moist and delish. The fettuccine with eggplant, garlic snd tomatoes was excellent! The calamari was cooked perfectly - so tender. Portions are very generous and we were full so we didn't get dessert. Service was excellent. Nice ambiance. Definitely eat here!! I will be back!!“

“Couldn't be happier to discover this gem a mere 10 minute walk from my office. Met a friend for early morning cupppa before starting our day. Great place to catch up - wishing we could sit and linger. Great selection of teas and of course yummy coffee specials.“

“We were in town for Final Four and happened upon this restaurant as we were walking back to the hotel. Will Bolduc and Owner Nick Kostis were so very welcoming and gracious hosting our large group. The service was top notch and the food was scrumptious. We were greeted by everyone there with heartfelt hellos and congratulations for the championship game. If you are ever in the area, this is an absolute MUST STOP for you! Thank you Mr. Kostis... as you said, BE KIND in everything you do... I will never forget how you made my Paopao family & I feel while we were there! Thank you!!!“

“Best pizza in Cleveland. These dudes know what's good. Clean. Real pizza. Perfect char on the crust. Perfect topping sauce ratio. Perfect dough that gets an amazing rise in the cornice and stays surprisingly thin where it should. Chewy, complex flavor, expertly done. This pizza should go compete in Italy... Like for real. Not sure if the two that are always working here are the owners but they are truly dedicated, talented, amazing dudes. The best. The absolute best. I don't know if anyone likes pizza more than me, but I do know I don't like anyone's pizza more than theirs. Please never change, guys.“

“The food was amazingly fresh and tasty. The service was excellent. The gentleman was able to guide me through my gluten free options. I highly recommend this place.Dietary restrictions: There are lots of choices for gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian.“

“I got a small salmon poke bowl the other day for $12 and it was fantastic! I agree with a previous review - they give a small portion of rice compared to the amount of toppings, but personally this is such a win because it always sucks thinking you got a big bowl of food only to find it half-filled with rice. I really appreciated the unlimited toppings for no extra charge too, because you can really customize it however you want! For being one of very few poke bowl spots in Cleveland, I was impressed with the quality and service Corner 11 provided. They were so nice, even when their credit card machine wasn't working, and the space itself is a decent size to sit down and eat, with a variety of regular, high-top, and outdoor seating options. On summer days I can see this being a great option to grab a bowl to go and heading across the street to hang out at Lincoln Park! As is most other restaurants in the area, this place is street-parking only, but it wasn't too hard for me to find a spot. I'll definitely be back to try out their boba and ramen and get myself another poke bowl when the cravings hit!“

“Top Indian restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of having, I’ve tried dozens of Indian restaurants in my life and this is up there to compare to. I had the butter chicken and Chana masala and it was so full of flavor. The butter chicken was so creamy and addictive I can drink the sauce and the chicken was so tender. Most places can’t cook their chicken breast correctly when they add it to their sauce but wow this was just easy to cut through with a spoon and just paired perfectly with the savoriness of the butter chicken. The Chana masala was flavor packed and I just can’t get enough, I legit ate myself into a coma. 10/10 must try like right now, go!“

“Best place for teen-hangouts, treating your kids, family-treats and supervised dates. Their Ice creams are of superior taste and quality. Freshly and locally produced quality ingredients are their USP. I like there Pistachio and Banana flavours the most.“

“Delicious food. We enjoyed the "chicken" & waffles and biscuits and gravy. The cold brew was also excellent. Sodas are made the old-fashioned way and are a treat. Whether you are vegan, vegan- curious, or just a fan of great food and service, the Green Kitchen offers wonderfully fresh chef-prepared food and personal service in a small, cozy plant-filled space.“

“We were in Cleveland for a concert, and found this little gem upon the recommendation of a very nice woman we met. Our GPS originally took us to the wrong establishment, but we were only a block off and found it quickly after the mix-up. Luis was our server, and not only was he helpful, but he was extremely personable. We will be back - both for the food, and for the warm and welcoming atmosphere therein.“

“The seafood risotto was delightful. Finally, a quiet restaurant where I didn't have to shout or constantly ask for my company to repeat what they said ( I am ~45 and have not lost my hearing yet). My companion ordered the pork dish and was happy with the fact that the gorgonzola was not overpowering. Good replacement for Luca ( used to be my favorite) as I have not been happy with them lately. Will go back. Hopefully, it is just as good next time.“

“Went to Midnight 20th anniversary and got my face torn off. Venua was cool bands were great! Loud clear and a great mosh pit!! Staff was courteous and cool, people take drinks outside and they have to yell at you for that we all know that, Overall!! 100% Place to go see a show in a middle sized venue.“

“Squash the Beef is SO DELICIOUS. I wish they had vegan food like this in San Diego, where I have to fly back to tomorrow. We got the jackfruit sliders, gumbo, and their kale lemonade! Check this place out if you are vegan or if you just love good food :)“

“Amazing walnut raisin levain. Delicious taste and plenty of walnuts. Street parking. The staff was friendly but didn't ask if I wanted my head sliced, I attribute this to them being busy though - there was a line out the door at 9am on a Thursday so get there early! Small seating area and coffee with oat milk offered.“

“Had lunch here with some friends and really enjoyed the cheddar soup. The pretzel wasn't great as I was hoping it would be softer and a bit more flavorful. The pierogies were also a bit different than I expected as they were a bit thicker noodle wise than I'm used to. The flavor inside was decent though. Also tried one of these beers and it was quite delicious.“

“Everything is great but sucked that I had to go back inside after leaving from picking up a take out order because they forgot sour cream. The lady said the quesadilla doesn’t come with it but I said it was on the menu. She went back and got a little blob of it but literally held it from me saying “I’m going to have to confirm that the menu says that or else I’m going to have to charge you.” Like cool story I guess I look like a liar. After they pulled the menu on their phones and said “I guess it does say that on the menu” I got my little blob. Y’all would have charged for this?“

“I got my food to go after I’d had a cocktail. The swinging benches across the street are a perfect place to sit and eat your divine tastes of FAT CAT’s … I had the salmon burger and Brussels sprouts and a Purple haze cocktail at the bar. The sandwich was literally perfect! The avocado was the perfect touch! Always a treat! Tastes and Travels gives FAT CATS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“In search of a diner in Lakewood, Ohio, I discovered this establishment. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. There were so many choices on the menu! As a first timer, my friend and I settled on the Chorizo Tacos and Breakfast Quesadilla. We added a blueberry muffin. The muffin was grilled--absolutely amazing! The food was prepared to order and exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a delicious spot for breakfast/brunch--this is it!“

“I needed to take a break from dairy and tried out their seasonal Vegan Chocolate Cookie Butter Ice Cream and it is, hands down, the best ice cream I've ever had, dairy or non-dairy! There were five people in our party and everyone was happy with their choices, which is unbelievably rare. I had to take a picture because less than 5 minutes after purchase, I was almost done. Generous serving size too! One scoop was enough to satisfy. I would walk from Queens, NY to get more. It's that good! ?Dietary restrictions: Great ice cream for vegans“

“This place is absolutely delicious! I tried the vegan version of the Philly cheese steak at best of the east and my goodness was it great. I realized tonight that I could go vegan it was the better and not greasy like the real thing . I will be ordering from now on!“

“Zoma is one of our favorite restaurants! They were takeout only during the pandemic but dine-in is now available again. They've redecorated with beautiful traditional art so we recommend eating there. Great to go with a big group of friends to share dishes. They offer incredible vegan options (adore the mushroom tibs and their veggie combo) and the staff is always friendly.“

“The food is great, the service is phenomenal, the staff makes you feel like family every time, and the overall atmosphere is very soothing and comfortable while remaining classy and sophisticated.Vegetarian options: There is a great selection of vegetarian dishes to choose from and you won't be disappointed no matter what you choose.Dietary restrictions: Dietary restrictions are highly respected and catered to.Parking: They offer complimentary valet.Kid-friendliness: High chairs are available and special kid friendly food options are offered.Wheelchair accessibility: They will always accommodate wheelchairs.“

“This place is adorable, from the hobbit-hole-esque front door to the hand thrown mugs that the beverages come in. It's a very artsy hang out down Murray Hill in Little Italy. The tea and pastries were delicious and really well priced. My friend and I each had a chai, and I had a piece of the baklava. The chai tea came out as a lightly sweetened chai latte, that was made from real tea. So good! We were charmed by the mugs and really enjoyed the interior and the vibes. This is the kind of place you can go with friends and stay for a while. I have the feeling this is a popular and underrated breakfast spot, too! I intend to come back after a class at CLE Yoga. Note - mostly street parking with an itty bitty parking lot in the back.“

“Townhall invites you into a world of love and exceptionalism. From the sushi, to the cocktails, & lastly the staff, everything & everyone is amazing. If you need a “for the girls” brunch, a night on the town dinner and drinks, or a quiet healthy lunch, Townhall provides it all. No matter the vibe they match. No matter the task they accomplish. Townhall is religiously perfect & forever my favorite! Ps: try the lobster fire roll and yellowtail hamachi!“

“The vibes are always great at Gypsy. Their "around the world" coffee passport drinks are a cool thing to work your way through if you stop in reguarly. Great, quick serivce, and a cool place to hang out if you are the type to get things done in coffee shops.“

“I love coming here for brunch! They have an amazing food selection and i'm always torn what to get. Their biscuits & gravy are amazing! The vibe of this place is very chill. The service is always great. Highly suggest you stop in here for brunch if you haven't already!“

“This place had a fantastic vibe. Visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this gem. Tried the wings not bad may try something else if visiting again. Service was great and staff very friendly. Wanted to come back for the comedy show but couldn't make it. Hope to return again. Good energy overall.“

“Best shaved ice I've ever had in my life. The buns are all soft and fluffy and comforting. I had the egg and turkey buns, the green onion bun and the mango tart, while taking a few bites of my friend's taiwanese shaved ice. I've been back a good probably 8 or so times since I began writing this review a couple months ago, and I can't stay away. Every time I go I grab a handful of warm, chewy buns and the taiwanese shaved ice with mango, strawberry, and mango jelly. The service is always quick, even when there is the occasional line to the door, and the buns are self service so you can just grab as many as you'd like and check out! I can not possibly recommend the shaved ice enough, in my opinion it easily beats out ice cream as the most refreshing summer snack.“

“I come here every year when I go to CL. It is absolutely fantastic. Every time the server is very friendly and kind. We order a make your own bowl and they have countless options to choose from with tags. The food is so so SO tasty and very filling. They have so many smoothies too and they are so good. Everything is a very reasonable and affordable price compared to other trash restaurants like Dunkin and Starbucks which take 6$ for one small drink made up of sugar and ice water. If i could give this place over 100 stars I would.“

“The food was delicious and the sizes were huge for the prices. I thought the pupusas were going to be small so I ordered 2, they're were humongous. Very tasty! Their sangrias were the best! I ordered an arepa de chorizo to go for my mother and she liked it. Definitely recommend this place for something different.“

“Food is very good but the drinks are even better! Bites & drinks are quite unique. Atmosphere is edgy. Do not lije how dark it is or how you can’t make a reservation but Katz knows his own secrets to success. I would recommend & go back again. Great for a date night!“

“We went for breakfast pastries and were almost overwhelmed with the delicious looking options. Luckily for us everything we got was exceptional, I don’t think you can make a wrong choice. After much deliberation the highlight for us was the sausage and cheese croissant! Definitely stop here, we will be back next time we’re in town!“

“The all you can eat makes the brunch amazing!!! I was able to try every single dish that was on today's menu and everything was amazing!!! Lemonade was also freshly made and it was delicious!!! I truly love the atmosphere and I couldn't stop smiling from how good the food was.. Food should make you Happy and Cheff Koko definitely is doing her thing!! Thank you so much for a great experience and we will definitely be back!!! Highly recommend people to try Conveniently Vegan!!!“

“I last came to Larder years ago back in 2018 or so and getting the Tuesday lunch special - $5 Chicken Sandwiches. I remember it being the best fried chicken sandwich I had ever had in my life - huge juicy thigh meat covered in a crunchy doubled fried exterior. Since then, Larder has been winning awards left and right. Since we were visiting Cleveland, I was so excited to visit Larder again and get their delicious sandwich. Unfortunately we came on a bad day - the previous night, a severe thunderstorm had knocked out the fryer and vents and Larder had to remove all of their fried items from the menu. They also were having oven troubles, so they ended up opening 30 minutes late. We got there over 30 minutes before they opened and a line of people started forming already. Pastrami Reuben ($18) - This is not your typical pastrami; this is thick, 1 cm cut savory salty pastrami, cut kind of like corned beef. The bark is still attached which is soft in some portions but crisp in others. ??? skome flavor??The meat is super tender and easy to eat. There's a thin layer of flavorful fat in some areas. There's cabbage slaw added on the bottom which adds a nice tang to balance out the fatty and meat of the pastrami. Thousand island spread on the top and bottom slices of bread adds additional moisture and sweetness. Everything is placed in the middle of two perfectly toasted slices of rye. Babka ($9) - Absolutely chock full of chocolate, the bread is pretty dense and rich. Pieces of crumbs easily flake off when you're eating this. There's some cinnamon mixed with the chocolate. If I'm ever back in town, I would get the chicken sandwich for the nostalgia.“

“We loved our brunch at Avo today! I came with a group of friends and kids before a Playhouse Square's A Christmas Carol, and our waiter was amazing! I think his name is Matthew and he got all 9 of our orders totally correct, even with some crazy changes the kids made. The drinks were amazing, portions were large and we will be back!! He even made sure to get our food and checks out quickly so we could make the show in time.“

“Love margaritas? Love guacamole? Love Momocho! Momocho is the place to go if you are looking for a modern take on Mexican, a flight of margaritas, or a flight of guacamole. Yes, I said a flight of guacamole. Try it. Trust me. My friend and I sat at the bar, which is full service. I had a flight of margaritas and chose the blood orange, hibiscus, and pomegranate. For our flight of guacamole, we tried the goat cheese, the crab, and the peppercorn. For some reason we thought we needed more food, so I ordered the chile relleno and my friend ordered the camarones tacos. Excellent, excellent food. I am going to have to return to Cleveland soon so I can come back here! If you haven't been: be aware that there is a parking lot, but it is very small and fits about 8 cars, so you may have to look for street parking. There is some outside seating, some inside, and a little at the bar.“

“This establishment does excellent work, the staff are highly knowledgeable about the cats in their care. Any questions were met with informed answers. They truly care for the cats of the cafe and it shows. Any medical or dietary restrictions are explained to prospective adopters to make sure that these cats are a proper fit. Plus the coffee drinks are excellent.“

“This is one of the most hospitable Hispanic restaurants in the Gordon Square Arts district! I would suggest going over the menu upon arrival...the music, energy and crowd can be a little overwhelming upon first visit. The servers cannot wait to meet you at the front door.The "Prickly Pear" is the most Deliciously Beautiful Drink they offer for a nice, relaxing"Turnt" before you eat.I've tasted everything on the menu...my favorite with the most"Bang for your Buck" is the "Chicken Chorizo Chimichanga'!“

“thank you - everything was delicious - food was fast and fresh. one of the best steak & cheese sandwiches we've ever had - onion rings & french fries perfect. lemon & chocolate cake was awesome. we will be back - both kids happy“

“Had a party of 12 and they were able to serve us reasonably quickly. We had the calamari which was pretty good and crispy. I had the bolognese which was okay tasted a bit bland compared to the other dishes. The chicken Marsala was also okay, the sauce tasted a bit too sweet instead of having a more savory flavor. The gnocchi with shrimp was probably the best dish as well as the mussels, clams, and lobster ravioli. Eggplant Parmesan also looked great and was well liked by the crowd. Overall the whole group enjoyed the food and had a fantastic time at the restaurant. Also the parking is free and is “valet” but we ended up parking the car ourselves, finding parking in the little Italy is impossible so this made life easy.“

“I get food from here at minimum once a week, typically closer to twice. This is my favorite spot to grab food in Hingetown/Ohio City. You don’t have to be vegan to love their menu. I am never bored, and all of the staff I have interacted with are chill and friendly. Very excited to see what they do in the new space!My favorite menu items are the Blue Juice (recent obsession), the bravocado sandwich, and the Buffalo springpea salad. I love that most of the sandwiches can be a salad as well for the days I don’t want the bread. Best and most filling salads.“

“Working with someone like Mrs. Anita Ephraim FX is a good experience and has yielded positive results for me every week. I invested my first $500 into bitcoin and Mrs.Anita FX helped me manage my account and i made $5500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first. Mrs. Anita Ephraim walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a … See more“

“This was our first time eating here. We were staying at an AirBnB down the road. My wife and I were immediately greeted by the new owner. He was very friendly and was kind enough to share some history of the place with us. We love what this pizza place is about and stands for. We only wished we lived closer so we could frequent it more often.“

“We went to Mason's Creamery on the Sunday before the eclipse and got Eclipse Shakes. So fun! The place was busy, so it took us a while to get our treats, but the crowd was in a festive mood and the servers were hustling, so we didn't mind the wait at all. We were lucky enough to snag an inside table for the four of us, which provided for excellent people watching. The Eclipse Shake itself was worth the wait, as we knew it would be. All of Mason's ice cream treats are top notch. This novelty shake was lemon cream ice cream blended into a shake and topped with black-dyed vanilla whip cream. Nom nom nom! It turned our tongues black, but it was worth it!“
