50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Calgary

“Some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life. We ordered at the south Edmonton location (probably more then we needed) but zero regrets! Still dreaming about the spring rolls and the curry! 1000/10! Wishing for an east coast location.“

“Love this place and the owner is delightful! Highly recommend visiting there �“

“Food is sooo good, especially the dumplings. I’m coming back for more today!!“

“This place is amazing. The food is top tier, no joke. You will not miss the meat if you’re a meat eater like me. Honestly my go-to for sushi and salad dressings. A gem more people need to know about! Very accommodating for food sensitivities and lifestyles. I wish I could give 10/5 stars. (I don’t have a pic to share bc I gobbled down my meal too fast)“

“I came into to Pachamama’s Soul Cafe wanting to try chitlins. As it turned out, it was one of those “nosering” joints. You know, where they look at you and you look at them, and you both figure it won’t be long for the door. Anyway, it looked nice. I tried out the swing chair. I looked at the menu. Usually, in these kinda joints the token meat item on the board was barely enough to feed a kitten. I don’t think it's fair. Most normal aka good restaurants serve a token meal for you. It looks rather flavorless if you ask me, but hey vegetarians are just omnivores who make bad choices. Most carnivores will eat a burger. Buy a George Foreman grill. You be you. I’ll be me. Leave the politics out of it. I looked at the modest menu. The smaller the menu, the better the food. There was a sign warning you that the food might take a minute. Another excellent sign of tasty food to come. You can have it good, have it fast, or you can have quality. Pick two. The place was busy’ish at 2:00 PM. Another excellent sign. Now I wanted to screw around with the staff for a while. I said “I don’t see any chitlins, is there another menu?” Eyes rolled. My wife chose the apple cheese sandwich, I had already chose the BLT Panini. But I wasn’t done screwing with the staff yet. They suggested I try the taco salad. I stared at the menu a bit. The staff looked at me and said “I think you’d like the taco salad. It’s not very spicy”. I told them that “that’s a shame because I like mine spicy”. At this point they start insisting that they can make it spicy. LIttle do they know if they said “Try the taco salad, it’s nice and spicy”. I would have just said “Oh no, I don’t care for spicy food”. Anyway, I looked at the menu. I tested the limits of her patience. She eventually asked the new fella to take over. I could tell he was new as his nose was pristine as mine. I kept screwing around until they had all caught on. I told them that “I didn’t think that they sold soul food and I better taste the soul or I’m gonna accuse them of the old bait and switch”. So me and my wife waited on their patio and enjoyed the complimentary dog. It did take a minute. But the time flew by as I watched my wife make a new friend. We swapped halves and there was soul in every bite. They gave us a couple samples. One was a beetroot humuus, bursting with both flavour and soul. There was an oatmeal square that had the sweetness dialed in perfectly. It made you want to eat more sweet without sweeting you out, if you catch my drift. They also brought a sample of a cauliflower soup with the word “emo” in the name. Jesus Christ, where do they get these people. Anyway I was fully feeling the love and looking forward to the soup. I look at my wife awestruck. She goes “yeah, I know, wow”. I went back into the restaurant and they asked me “Do we sell soul food?”. I told them “in every bite”. I told them they gave me “an itty bitty bowl with great big soul”. Was I hungry? No. My wife, no, she gave half her sandwich to the dog. I’m not sure about the dog. Probably. Was it a soul restaurant?. I say hell yeah, they sell soul by the bowl. Great place! Will I be back? Of course, I want a big bowl now.“

“Scenic views and great food, one of my fav vegan eats“

“I am definitely introducing this vegan cafe to the Chinese community... glad to know that they are given free lunch on every Wed 2 to 4pm to the community... so kind of them...“

“Best place ever, we brought our granddaughter her first time and Nan let her pick a cupcake free. We now take our granddaughter once a week for dinner there. Love the place“

“Cute little place and delicious food! ❤“

“The burgers were delicious but they were lukewarm, not even hot. Not sure if it was because there was only one person serving, although the place wasn’t crowded. Nuggets and hashbrowns were great. Would be happy to go back and try them hot.“

“Great vibe, food very good. We ended up ordering after a large group in the private room had so there was a fair delay between courses. Staff were professional but not warm. Food was very good. Maybe the best ribeye had in years. Excellent pepper sauce and frites Please note it was very loud and hard to have a real Conversation.“

“A nice place to visit with relaxing environment like eating and shopping“

“My daughter and I dined at 530pm yesterday, May 24th 2025. We chose to sit in the dining room. We were lead to a table by the fireplace under a great chandelier. The ambiance of Joey Crowfoot is lively and warm. Comfortable seating, perfectly sized tables, and excellent lighting. Our server, whose name I can't recall - tall dark and handsome and a theater major - was attentive and friendly. The food we had was absolutely incredible. We chose goyza dumplings to start which were so flavourful and perfectly cooked. My daughter ordered the hamburger and fries and even with her braces bothering her, she demolished. My blackened chicken with warm potato salad was hands down the BEST meal I've had in a restaurant in a long, long time. I will be dreaming of that salad until I can get back there again !!“

“Amazing food, low carb options that help us stay on track. We will definitely be back!!“

“pizza was absolutely delicious, crust was crunchy and toppings were amazing... We will be back most definitely.. Service was wonderful“

“Fish pakora is divine. Everything at this restaurant is super fantastic. I have never had a bad meal here. It is by far the best Indian food that I’ve ever had.“

“I came to the city to see a client and did not realize how popular this restaurant is. I needed a reservation same day and Shawn was amazing. He worked the schedule out to accommodate us!! Great experience Really appreciate the care and effort!!“

“Awesome vibe, great service, and amazing food. Highly recommend.“

“we are new in calgary and we absolutely wanted to try indian cuisine. we choose Lazeez for its good reviews and we were not disappointed. thank you 😊“

“Just had the chicken parm rose style and it was the most incredible dish I’ve ever eaten. Next time order it and you won’t be disappointed. You’ll crave it daily,weekly,monthly! My server was Nash and he was the absolute best server experience I’ve had!“

“We have been here several times. The staff were very friendly and efficient, and the service has been excellent. The food is delectable, tasty, and nicely presented with just the right balance of spices and heat. We just couldn't stop nibbling on the garlic naan bread and tamarind sauce. We were impressed with the cleanliness, the decor, and the pleasant atmosphere. It has become our favourite Indian Food restaurant in the City.“

“Food is great! I would definitely be coming back.“

“great service friendly staff and awesome ice cream“

“Just had dinner here with 3 friends. We all loved our meals which is an awesome experience! I had the west coast salmon which was spectacular, a friend raved about the burger and we even had desserts which were to die for.“

“I had dinner tonight at The Himalayan (17 Ave SW). It was my first time here, and only my second Nepalese restaurant I’ve been to. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and very kind. The restaurant is clean, and intimate. Parking isn’t ideal, but that’s not their fault! I started with the pork momos as an appetizer. They were excellent, but quite expensive ($16 for six regular-sized dumplings). The flavour was great, and they tasted very fresh. For my main, I had Chicken Dal Bhatt, which came with three small dishes of meat and curry and lentils, along with rice, naan and some side dishes. Each of the individual dishes had incredible flavour. They were also hot and fresh, as were the momos. The meal was served on a metal platter, and the small bowls were also metal. It was beautifully presented. As soon as I finished my main meal, the waiter offered me a chai and mango pudding (included in the meal). The chai was aromatic and spicy and earthy and amazing! The mango pudding was icy cold (also in a metal dish), and hit the spot at the end of the meal. For my appetizer and main meal, I opted for mild / zero spice. Everything was so flavourful I don’t regret this decision. However next time, I’ll live a little and try the medium heat. Overall, this was a 10/10 for me and I’m really glad I had the chance to try out this restaurant!!“

“If you’re looking for a brunch spot that goes beyond the usual, Namo Café Bistro is an absolute gem in Calgary. From the moment you walk in, you’re met with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a menu that offer plenty of variety and is consistently satisfying. Their halal options are also fantastic! Highly recommend!“

“Awesome deal for good vegan Chinese food. My daughter and I enjoyed the $13.50 lunch with curried noodles. It came with spring rolls and jasmine tea. There were multiple varieties of veggie meats yum“

“Inviting atmosphere as well as friendly staff and customers, everyone there seems to just be enjoying themselves thoroughly. That should say it all right there. If not though, my 3 friends and I left with clean plates and full bellies. Never an empty cup of coffee or water, and the chicken fried pancakes with garlic honey butter... 🤤 Eat and be merry ya'll!“

“Love the foods. I’m from Indonesia. Its my first visit to OEB n Calgary.“

“Delicious food, friendly staff🤩“

“I visited Shawarma Barlow with my wife and 3 small kids. The staff was absolutely amazing and the food was great!! I’m not sure if one of the staff was the owner but he did a wonderful job of taking care of us and my kids!!!“

“Melrose Cafe & Bar is a amazing cafe“

“I will buy some dessert for my friends here“

“I ordered the Classic Hot Fudge Sundae, Maple Pecan in a waffle cone, 49-Berry in a waffle cone, and the Melted Chocolate in a waffle cone. Everything tasted amazing! The flavours were rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced, and the waffle cones were super crisp. Really enjoyed the experience!“

“Namo is my favourite brunch spot ever! Their breakfast bowls are all amazing with the harissa lamb being my favourite. This location is small and cozy and can fill up fast in the mornings. Show up early or order out. This is definitely a can’t miss spot in the Calgary food scene.“

“From my first unforgettable encounter with The Black Apron to countless lunch meetings and a recent evening event for a group of discerning professionals, I am left utterly speechless by the unmatched excellence of Juan and Steve. Their culinary artistry, combined with a deep-seated passion for hospitality, has elevated every experience to a level beyond mere satisfaction. Their promise to "bring your palate happiness... satisfaction... bliss" is not just a vision—it's a guarantee. The evening they catered at my home was nothing short of extraordinary, where every detail was meticulously crafted to achieve absolute perfection. Juan and Steve, along with Luca, delivered an experience that exceeded all expectations, leaving an indelible mark on both myself and my guests. Their dedication, talent, and kindness have set a new standard in catering. Thank you for turning my wishes into a reality and for creating memories that will be cherished forever.“

“Also has a dairy-free option! Recommended flavors Chocolate Lava Cake & Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk.“

“the manager tonight at centre street N was amazing and it’s the first time I had Bow tie ! it is the best pizza I ever had! Thank you“

“Flipp’n Burgers is hands-down one of my favourite spots to eat! Every time I come here, I’m greeted with warm smiles and genuine kindness from the staff, and their service always makes me feel welcome. The food is absolutely amazing. Everything from the burgers to the sides is cooked perfectly and full of flavour. I got a Mushroom Swiss Burger, and you can really taste the quality and care in every bite. The place itself has such a great vibe, clean, cozy, and perfect for grabbing a meal with friends or family. It’s a place that combines great food, great service, and sincerity all in one. I highly recommend Flipp’n Burgers to anyone looking for a delicious meal served with kindness and heart. It’s always my go-to spot! 🍔❤️“

“Dairy Lane is an elevated cafe that does not disappoint on flavour and hospitality.

We quickly were led to a table inside, where after a short perusal of the breakfast menu we ordered.

I had the Mushroom Benny, with a side of chicken sausage. As you can see from the photo is was very well presented, and it also tasted great. The only difficulty I had was the knife I was given would not cut the English Muffin the Benny was severed on (I don't know if it was the knife or the Muffin, but the knife made quick work of the sausage so I'm leaning towards the Muffin) so it was way messier to eat than it had to be.

The service was 5*“

“We came here for a friend’s birthday and were served by an employee named Kait who was the absolute sweetest! Everyone who works at village is so nice from my experience but she went above and beyond, put sparklers in our friend’s birthday scoop of icecream, and even joined us in singing happy birthday 😇. Village also has the best ice cream in Calgary and that is the hill I am willing to die on lol!“

“Our server Perci was above and beyond incredible and he made our dining experience top notch. Broken Plate has always been a favourite of ours and tonight was no different!“

“My wife and I decided to have pizza on Friday Oct 15. We went to our favorite pub that makes very good Pizza but we found it to busy so we decided to order take out. We had a Bow Tie Pizza (Sage Hill) menu that we decided to try. We placed our order at 5:20 PM and were told the Pizza would be ready by 6:00 PM. I showed up at 6:05 PM to pick it up. The young gal at the counter told me our order had been missed and said it would be another 20 minutes and the Pizza would be on the house no charge. I told her I would wait the 20 minutes but wanted to pay for it. She insisted that it was on the house and to call her when we were in the parking lot and she would bring it to our Vehicle. So 20 minutes later we called and she delivered the Pizza to our Vehicle along with a $20 Bow Tie Gift card. We ordered the Beard of Zeus Pizza and it was Fantastic. The Crust the cooked chicken was very good. Can't say enough how we were treated by this Bow Tie Sage Hill location. We will be trying other menu items in the future. There were lots of people coming and going at this location which tells you the food and service is great.“

“The food was great and arrived quickly. Would definitely recommend.“

“My favourite restaurant and best branch. Never disappointed when I order from Jerusalem Richmond Rd. Always fresh, delicious and well prepared. One of the best things about this branch is even when you order delivery (portions and quality are as great as when you dine in) Also very welcoming when you dine in. Keep up the amazing work.“

“Had the salmon benny for brunch today and it was fabulous! Great hollandaise, wonderful salmon, tasty coffee. I'll definitely be back!“

“This place is AMAZING! Both my wife and I have Celiac. Everything is dedicated Gluten Free! And nearly everything also has a Vegan option as well.

I travel a lot for work and personal, and place Avatara among the TOP 3 pizza and pasta I’ve ever had across Canada and the United States.“

“Small menu but tons of good options. And the menu changes frequently so go back every season to try the new flavors. I had the Cajun chicken which came with crispy kale and mashed potatoes. I added prawns on the side for extra protein. My date had the steak, with broccolini and mashed. Everything was cooked perfectly. The only exception was that we wanted gravy for the potatoes and it was discontinued. Bring back the gravy!!!

Desserts were well prepared and tasty, better than most typical restaurants id say.

Service was awesome especially for how busy it was. Will be back again soon. Sooner if they add gravy to the menu.“
