50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Cleveland

“As a visitor to Cleveland, I stopped here as the nearest microbrewery to my hotel, and couldn't be more pleased. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, the fish and chips excellent, and the beer. THE BEER. Every one I tried was very good. Check this place out if you're ever in downtown Cleveland.“

“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!“

“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“

“Started with my favorite Italian wine, salad and duck, finished with tiramisu and cannoli delivered by Chef Rafael. Enjoyed attention of our waiter, swift but not obtrusive, and relaxed atmosphere of dining room. Every part of meal delicious and generous portions. Added plus was chat with Chef Rafael. You can tell he loves to feed and please his customers.“

“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!!“

“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. *****“

“Incredible food! I got the flat wide rice noodle stir fry dish and it was delicious (banh pho xao). The noodles were cooked perfectly and not mushy. We've also had the ginger and scallion chicken and pho which were also great. I highly recommend the Vietnamese chicken cabbage salad, it's sooo good! We will definitely be going here a lot!“

“What an absolute treat. Some of their most popular dishes include the gravy and biscuit dish and the juneberry breakfast. I've tried both and they both are great, especially bc they're not too salty for someone who is Asian! In fact, the sausage used in the gravy/biscuit dish is one of the few things my boyfriend misses about Cleveland. If you're up for a surprise, please try the fruit plate. Sounded so simple at first, but the plating is beautiful and the flavors were delectable, balancing the saltiness of the other breakfast foods with a sweet fruit flavor.“

“I was busy in the Midwest my first time.Now it's somebody suggested Slymans. We DoorDash it and when the sandwich got there were 2 sandwiches.The thing must have weighed 10 pounds.It was huge so huge. We could have split half of one between the two of us period it's just the best most beautiful sandwich ever. The sandwich literally looked like a pile of meat wearing a tiny little toast hat. Shall we order it again the next day and the next day and the next day“

“The best chicken and steak sharwarma, hummus, falafel, baba, garlic sauce, salads, wraps and everything else they offer here in NEO period. Chicken sharwarma hummus is insanely good and with the fresh pita, garlic sauce and fattoush salad brings us back 3-4 times per month. Wonderful people who know us by first name. Highly recommend!“

“Steve’s was diner was my fav mom’s and pops place. But I been here a few times ever since Steve’s closed and this is my new favorite spot ! The food is delicious, they are kid friendly and even give out crayons and coloring pages which is so nice for kids to relax and color. The kids menu is nice and the kids meals are huge ! Breakfast is amazing. Larger portions. My new favorite spot. I will be taking my family here. Love Gabe’s and the employees are amazing and friendly !“

“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?“

“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.“

“An amazing Brewery with an Awesome Staff. A unique and special place in every way. If you enjoy craft beer, are a home brewer, or appreciate Cleveland History (or all of the above), this place is a Must See. Absolutely one of the coolest places in Cleveland Hands-down.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you are in Cleveland you must come to Society Lounge. Not only are the cocktails incredible, but the staff is even better. From the atmosphere to the interaction with bartenders you won’t be disappointed. Can’t speak highly enough about this place, and if you know a thing or two about a cocktail….you’d best stop here“

“My Favorite Italian Restaurant in town! Best food, wine, service and great atmosphere! Omg and did I mention desert ?! The most delicious! Valerio & Stella go above and beyond for their customers which they treat as a family! Highly recommend A +“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything is homemade. The salads are huge and a delicious mixture of fresh mixed greens and other items depending on what type of salad you choose. The mashed potatoes and gravy are both homemade and delicious. They have breakfast and lunch all day.It doesn't matter what you feel like eating, they will cook it at any time. Clean, good customer service and a friendly staff!“

“Went for a birthday dinner and I am happy she chose this place. This place was so good. A 5-star experience that I did not expect. Because of the location you would think it was just an average restaurant but this place is offering a fine dining experience. I loved my cocktail it was perfectly made. I ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer they weren't bad but they weren't great either. My entree was as seafood pasta. It was a little pricy but for the portion size and quality it was definitely worth it.i I will definitely go there again.“

“Such a hidden gem in the Cleveland area! The decor of Sabor is eclectic and quirky in a way that really makes you feel like you're in Miami. The food is flavorful with hearty portions. We got a side of fries with our Cuban, which were probably frozen French fries from a grocery store. Though the fries were probably not worth it, but everything else definitely was!“

“This place was AWESOME! Great service and the employees were top- notch!! Friendly and looking out for the customers! We don't live near the area, but my husband and I , just yesterday. We're thinking we might have to make a special trip to eat here again!!“

“Food and atmosphere are awesome but Hailey the bartender is a true gem! She’s fast, experienced, friendly and absolutely wonderful! I hope this establishment recognizes the rockstar she is. I will recommend to anyone this place! 5 stars!!!!“

“Recently discovered this little gem. My sister and I originally wanted to find some good wings around as the past few times we’ve ordered them from elsewhere we were not happy with the wings after delivery. We came across pizza fan on DoorDash and ordered the garlic parm and bbq wings. Omg they were PERFECT. So today we had to go back for more we couldn’t stop talking about these wings all day ? we decided to also try a chicken Philly to split. Again pizza fan did NOT disappoint. ? ? very very highly recommend. Service was great the store was clean the gentleman behind the counter were lovely. This is definitely a new favorite of ours. We will definitely be back again and again“

“I like their pizza, garlic bread with cheese , Chix wings & meatballs. I just looked at their menu. I have never had anything from here I didn't like. Tenders - yum - poppers - yum - onion rings/mushrooms -yum . My one & only gripe is the size of the sausage on the pizza. Wish it was bigger pieces. The pizza here is that 70's style pies I grew up on. There are 6 pizza places 1.25 miles near/from my house. Athens wins out. I have not tried the pizza place in the old Uppercrust Pizza spot. You cannot go wrong at Athens Pizza for satisfying food.“

“Great Gyro's, good fries,friendly staff, small but dependable. They also do corned beef, chicken philly, wing-Dings, etc... Call ahead unless you don't mind waiting..Vegetarian options: You may get lucky and find 1 or 2 options, but overall I would NOT recommend to vegetarians/vegansParking: Plenty of parking!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible, but not much room inside, and the counter is very tall...“

“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.“

“Cafe Roma reminds me of an authentic restaurant in Italy. It is a family owned and run business that serves reasonably priced Italian dishes. The Cavalli and meatballs are excellent. The lasagna is enough for two people. They even have Italian cookies and Cannoli. This is one of Westpark hidden secrets!“

“Hands down best pizza I had ever had! Got the large speck pie there and small diavolo to go. Blown away! Great service by the staff and truly was worth the wait! Not one bad thing heard from people telling me about this place. Best advice I can give, there will be a wait but wait for it anyway. Got there around 45 mins after they opened and it was about an hour wait for 2. The wait is all worthwhile!“

“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!“

“Almost perfect! Service was great - I didn’t love my initial cocktail and without being asked, the server wanted to replace it for me. The meal started out really wonderful with the dips and oysters were spot on. The cold noodles were probably our least favorite as there wasn’t enough sauce in it to keep it from being sticky in our mouth. Didn’t love the potatoes, either but I was near full at that point.“

“Etna truly is the most intimate, cozy place in Little Italy. You walk in the door, immediately feel the charm, welcome and warmth of the staff and the smells of the kitchen. The food is amazing, the wine perfection. I have traveled to Italy many times….Etna takes you there as soon as you walk through the door. ❤️“

“Came before league bowling for the wing's special. The number of different sauce varieties is very imoressive. I had the Thai Chili Garlic and it was awesome ! Just the right amount of sweet and heat! I tried my husband's garlic Parmesan and it was 'ok'. It was a bit bland for my liking, but he enjoyed. I also had a Bacardi lemon with Diet Coke. It was good and great special price. This is a sports bar - plenty of TVs with sports and news. Our server was the best - attentive and kind. Don't let this strip mall location deter you from trying. It's a nice hidden gem!!! Definitely recommend ! Looking forward to coming back!!!“

“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 was our first time dining at Heck's in Ohio City. My granddaughter and I had the mushroom ravioli. The dish was absolutely delicious. My other granddaughter had the apple and bacon omelette . She liked it a lot. The restaurant is in a great location and very quaint. Service was great. We will definitely return.“

“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!“

“Dante isn’t looking for laughs, it’s looking for gasps!Expect a creative, one-of-a-kind dining experience. Bank features on the interior are tasteful and help build a classy, sophisticated and vibrant atmosphere. Service is prompt and professional.Food is the money maker. Flavor pairings across the menu are magnificent. The crab cake/pork belly appetizer was the big hit across our group. For pasta, I enjoyed the carnaroli risotto, which was a light and fresh take on a traditionally rich dish. The classic bolognese (pictured) was terrific for those eyeing a more traditional dish.“

“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 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.“

“The absolute best breakfast place to ever do it!!!! Every time I go any where else for breakfast, I think to myself “gosh, this would have been so much better if I just went to Frank’s”Seriously, between the staff and the food- you can tell just how much passion and love is in this little casual diner. All of the staff makes you feel so welcomed and loved every single time you go inside. I will forever be obsessed with Franks!!!!!Vegetarian options: Highly recommended doing the breakfast burrito and adding falafel.Their hot sauce is home made and some of the yummiest I've ever had in my whole life .“

“Years ago when Hatfield's Goode Grub was just about to open it's location on Lorain Rd in Cleveland my spouse and I were walking by and we looked in the windows... the owner Ken Hatfield came out and invited us in to see the place prior to opening! He is such a wonderful man, very welcoming and friendly! We had a nice little tour and planned on going back asap, upon the official opening. Unfortunately we didn't make it there for years! Funny though that over those years, we saw Ken Hatfield on the food network and we would see the food-truck that they own around town. Recently we FINALLY made it in for brunch. OH-MY-GOODNESS! We were SERIOUSLY missing out! Not only is Ken Hatfield a wonderful guy but he is an amazing Chef and Hatfield's Goode Grub is one of my favorite brunch spots now! I don't think Ken remembered us from all those years ago, but he made it a point to come out of the kitchen during our visit and stop at every single table to touch-base with his guests. The food is amazing, the staff is attentive and the coffee will delight you! Check them out if you get the chance! You may even get to meet a real-live-(down-to-Earth) celebrity Chef!“

“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'!“

“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.“

“We were walking down W 25th and saw Old Angle Tavern from the windows facing the street. It looked like a relaxed place that had some people in it, but wasn't overlying crowded so we strolled in. I'm glad we did!We sat at the bar and were greeted by a friendly bartender. After some light conversation, we ordered some food. I got some wings that really hit the spot! They have a great Buffalo sauce that's flavorful and spicy. And they're ranch dipping sauce is clearly made in house...I've never had ranch that was that buttery and tasty! My dining companion enjoyed his salad and soup as well. Great atmosphere and music too! I'll be back!“

“Tabletop is a great place to go if you like playing board games. They have a large and diverse selection of games, so you can never run out of new games to play. They have a unique menu of tasty food, along with a great selection of drinks and cocktails. Their servers are kind, attentive, and very helpful in finding the perfect game for you to play if you're not sure where to start. They have some awesome events like trivia, RPG nights, and game clinics. I highly recommend going to Tabletop!“
