50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Calgary

“Food was great, I have absolutely no negative to say about it. The Negroni is a must have, sangria was super, the baguette is the best in Calgary and the dry aged prime rib was amazing. Our server made us feel welcome, took a moment to talk with us and then guided us on our choices as well as wine pairing. Dessert was amazing as well: chocolate cream for one and creme brûlée for the other. We had an amazing birthday supper. The place is popular so the noise level goes accordingly but we were able to enjoy our conversation anyway so it wasn't drown into loud music. We will definitely be going back.“

“One of my favourite vegan restaurants! I loved the Edmonton location and was very happy to have one in Calgary now. It’s been a hit with all my friends I’ve brought, every dish is delicious! The service is very friendly and it’s a very calming nice space. Definitely try it out!

Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan

Dietary restrictions: All vegan! And gluten free options available too.“

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

“Amazing food! This will be a must for me anytime I’m in Calgary in the future.“

“I love the variety of different asian dishes served at Nans as well as their frozen section that displays other vegan options from local businesses like Canela. I would highly recommend trying their vietnamese subs, brussel sprouts, and their drumsticks!“

“Tamarind makes delicious vegan Vietnamese dishes like pho and vermicelli. They make their tofu in house daily and their food is delicious! I highly recommend their pad Thai. Today, they were giving out free lunch boxes that consisted of papaya salad, fried rice, salt and pepper tofu, bean curd and eggplant, along with a pumpkin tofu soup. Everything was delicious and I would highly recommend! They also can accomodate gluten free options as well ?.“

“Love the menu and the amazing owners. It’s always fresh and delicious and so healthy. I love the fixed tacos.“

“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)“

“The food draws you in and the staff keep you there for good reason. The overall vibe of the location is friendly and very chill. The staff are caring and attentive. The food is so on point. Takeaway is great; however, dining in adds that extra touch.

Parking: There's plenty of space to park.“

“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“

“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 stop at the Sherwood Park location almost daily for a mint matcha latte. The healthy choices are all delish, the location is always spotless, and the staff are friendly-- Madi remembers my order before I even say anything. My fave place.“

“Flew into Calgary from Toronto for a wedding. From the airport I beeline to Heart Choices to demolish their Khao Soi, and on the way back I detour to get their Lemongrass Chick'un Banh Mi for the trip home. Even my meat-loving boyfriend loved it.

I have tried endlessly to find similar quality and taste complexity in Toronto to no avail. Heart Choices truly is a destination in and of itself. Thank you for your dedication to serving DELICIOUS vegan food! Hope you consider expanding to Toronto :)“

“Cute little place and delicious food! ❤“

“Yummy vegan food definitely worth the visit! Great burgers wraps and Mediterranean bowl. Also the shake we got was a peppermint for Christmas and it was really good, quite rich though and sweet so we shared a medium but a small would have been plenty! Definitely going back!

Dietary restrictions: They are vegan, yeeeesss!“

“Pretty tasty fast food. Lots of options on the menu and ordering terminals give plenty of customisation options. Highlight was decaf mocha milkshake. Burger was a little bit cold and the vegan poutine was let down by the cheese, but otherwise meal was good. Still just fast food, nothing fancy, but convenient to have as an option when you want something quick and simple. Parking is available behind the restaurant and you can enter from the back door.“

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

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

“Unassuming cafe which has the most fantastic breakfast. Plentiful and delicious.
The hash dish has 2 poached eggs - cooked perfectly and so delicious. The belly buster breakfast has it all. The hash potatoes were hiding under those pancakes.“

“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.“

“Really authentic New York style pizza!“

“First time here and definitely will not be the last! Zika - Marko and the entire crew along with the special Elvis Event made the entire experience amazing. Authentic home made delicious food- served with love truly.

And the story of why Marlo’s kitchen came to be makes this place all that much more special and amazing. Highly recommend! Marko’s roll! White bean soup/ cabbage rolls and Bakalava so delicious!“

“Tonight I was in a party of 5 at my table. The group was my family with my sister as the visitor from Greece. Alivia was our server and she was so pleasant to us and so sincere with all of us. Her knowledge of the menu and providing us with reviews on the menu items was simply impressive. Our food entrees were absolutely fabulous and even my 87 year old Mom was raving about the service and food. We have frequented this restaurant a few times and tonight will remain memorable. Looking forward to our next visit to Joeys Chinook. Cheers, Bill Calgary“

“Thank you! Last night I dined with friends at Earl's--not my choice. Tonight at Joey's was a whole new experience--for the better, much better! Your prices were not inflated; they were reasonable (well, except the dessert was a bit pricey, but then I do not think I have ever tasted a more delicious dessert!) Albeit, we only had drinks and dessert. The waitresses we had the pleasure of interacting with were gracious, friendly and fun--just right! I wish I knew their names. All together the experience was amazing! Top notch! Koodos to Joey's and their staff at Crowfoot Crossing!“

“Love the vegetable anchored meals and healthy portions. ✨“

“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.“

“Wonderful service; excellent food, great flavours. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend.“

“I love this place so I don't want to give a negative review. But tbh the pictures are nothing like the actual meal, there's like one price of letter, things have gotten super scarce. Please take this feedback seriously, we love your place, but find it hard to keep supporting it.“

“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!!!“

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

“great service friendly staff and awesome ice cream“

“Late-night cravings? Freshii Mahogany in South Calgary is your go-to spot! Open until midnight (except Sundays), it’s perfect for those seeking delicious, healthy eats in a stunning ambiance. I highly recommend the Chipotle Cheddar Bowl, packed with rice, black beans, carrots, tomatoes, and a creamy chipotle sauce—it’s a flavor bomb! The СОВВ Wrap is another must-try, featuring a fresh mix of romaine, field greens, tomatoes, egg, bacon, and Greek yogurt ranch. Don’t forget to grab a FRESHII Green or Cocoa Peanut Butter Smoothie—both are delicious and perfect for the health-conscious. With most items under $10-$12, it’s an affordable option for a quick meal on the go. Freshii Mahogany is definitely a gem in Calgary!“

“Went for brunch on a Sat afternoon. Will advise to make reservations online to everyone as place is always busy. We had reservations so almost no waiting when we got there. We ordered multiple things. Crispy chicken, brisket bowl, brioche pancakes and pumpkin spice pancakes. Everything was on point amazing (service, food) their hollandaise sauce is absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend this place to everyone“

“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 used to buy maamoul cookies in Montreal and loved them. I purchased some today and found them even tastier than what I remember!!! Everything we got was delicious!! We will be back for sure !!! ❤️ Smiling staffs that were all really nice and helpful.“

“Best Cinamin Buns ever! Great for a Saturday morning outing.“

“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!!“

“great authentic Thai food. the Khao Soi is awesome!!!“

“This is my first time in Calgary and I was looking for a gluten-free breakfast. I found this amazing restaurant that has gluten-free dishes and bread! The staff were super friendly and helped me choose what to order. I'm definitely going to miss this place!“

“Absolutely mind blown with the food and service. The meats were cooked to perfection and so flavourful, it just melts in your mouth. The salads are made so beautifully and delicious. All staff members (hostess, servers, managers and bartenders) were super welcoming, kind and just great people. If I can give 10 stars, I would gladly rate this restaurant 10 stars. Definitely coming back! This place is perfect for any kind of special occasion. If you haven’t tried Gaucho, you are missing out.“

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

“I will buy some dessert for my friends here“

“I suspect this is the most acclaimed and recommended brunch restaurant in the city. They have a great variety of dishes, from traditional breakfast to bowls. The portions are ample and the flavors are exquisite! Try Namo, you'll love it!“

“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.“

“one of the nicest pieces of fish in the city! I love you Taj Kabob ♡“

“Melrose Cafe & Bar is a amazing cafe“

“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“

“Delicious home made burgers, complemented perfectly by their Flipp’N sauce. Huge portions, and fantastic customer service!“

“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“
