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.“

“The food is fabulous & flavourful, as well as reasonably priced. The decor is charming. The owner, Christina, also charming. Lots of frozen vegan dim sum yummies to buy as well as sauces & hard-to-find Asian goodies! 10/10!“

“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)“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Tamarind Vietnamese Grill & Noodle House in Calgary. The food was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and honestly some of the best vegan Vietnamese cuisine I’ve had anywhere. The spicy noodle soup in the photo was rich, aromatic, perfectly balanced, and loaded with fresh vegetables, herbs, and house-made ingredients. Every bite tasted fresh and comforting at the same time.“

“Delicious vegan options. 👍🏻😋“

“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.“

“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“

“Delicious vegan options. 👍🏻😋“

“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.“

“Received excellent service by our server today. I was meeting there for a business lunch today and had excellent service, excellent food, and an all around excellent time. Thanks Joey's Eau Claire“

“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 !!“

“My husband and I had an amazing Sunday dinner at Cassis. We sat at the bar, and the bartender Audrey was very kind and wonderful to chat with, as was the owner. Welcoming atmosphere, and the steak tartare along with the fish special with champagne butter sauce was 10/10. Can't wait to come back on our next visit to Calgary.“

“The most delicious and amazing gluten free food 🥝 have had in ages! It tasted like home made comfort food!“

“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.“

“My daughter found this place online where a reviewer had indicated that Blue Star offered gluten-free and egg-free waffles. Unfortunately the waffles were not egg-free, but they did have a unique menu with lots of options. Our server Conrad had a very welcoming demeanor. After asking a few questions about the menu he took it upon himself to look into all allergy friendly options and even offered to customize some dishes. When discussing the options he made sure to have the discussion with my daughter, not me which I appreciated.“

“My husband and I had dinner last Tues. We have been here numerous times and it is always consistent. This location always leaves the best impressions! From hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, with beautiful presentation, and a wide variety wine list. Our server Chloe was the best. Her personality and always smiling made the experience even more pleasant.. Every restaurant needs service and meals like Joeys“

“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 😊“

“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.“

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

“Best burgers and shakes in the city, a must eat!“

“great service friendly staff and awesome ice cream“

“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!!“

“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“

“I'm not really an "ice cream person" - but the quality and flavour combinations that Marcus has contrived NEVER cease to amaze me. Often very long lineups for a reason (If you want to bypass the lineups, pop in and buy a quart (or 4 for a discount) and they'll serve you right away to pay for it, and you can enjoy at home. I have only found one other ice cream shop in my travels that comes close to rivaling Marcus, but one has to travel to the other side of the world to get it - Duck Island Ice cream in NZ - but that's a heck of a flight for ice cream that is almost as good as what you can get locally!)“

“the best in calgary. I love this place .“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Melrose Cafe & Bar is a amazing cafe“

“The menu options were so good that it was really hard for me to choose!! Staff were super friendly, especially our waitress, she gave us really good recommendations for where to go in town and what’s worth it/not. Restaurant was very clean, nice atmosphere, and my lamb burger was very delicious. I ordered a honey cardamon latte and I got another one for the road it actually so good. Absolutely would come again!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“We had a wonderful evening - great vegan options :)“

“We have been to this Cactus Club lots of enjoyable times. We therefore decided to go there for our 54th wedding anniversary last Wednesday. Food was prompt and excellent and the manager arranged for a welcome drink of prosecco. Nice touch. The service by Jackie R was a 10-out-of-10 and we will certainly pay a visit to this restaurant again in the near future. Five stars!!“

“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! 🍔❤️“

“Easily one of my new favorite little spots. The food and coffee hit the spot, and it’s a great place to vibe with friends. Massive shoutout to the amazing staff, too—they were super understanding and patient when I had some temporary card issues. Outstanding service and great energy all around!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing service from Cole. He made sure to know our allergies and avoid any cross contamination by getting a fresh scoop from the back. Some of the flavours contain pork gelatine and extract with alcohol, anyone looking for halal ice cream please make sure to inform of this, the staff is really friendly and cooperative to help identify the halal options“

“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!“
