50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Edmonton

“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.“

“I love the chef beef sandwich, it’s so good!“

“Excellent vegetarian food, reminds of all indian flavors. Masala chaamp is to die for with rumali roti..It's a hidden gem 💎. Please must try you will love it.“

“I used to get the beyond burger from A&W. They no longer have it. I tried their new veggie burger and wasn’t a fan, so I decided to try Odd Burger for lunch. So much better! I really enjoyed my classic burger. The staff member was very friendly and kind.“

“My friend and I ordered the Taco Tuesday Special and the BacUn Famous Melt and Fries Supreme with strawberry milkshakes all of that was so delicious food the price was fair and the place was so nice and quiet 100% recommend for all my friends❤️“

“One of the best experiences in a restaurant I’ve had in a while. Loved the blackened chicken and the service was great.“

“Wonderful experience! The food was nice, server was beyond amazing, and the restaurant was clean! We had a problem with one dish and they took it back, actually looked at it(very impressed), and corrected it fast! Just wonderful!“

“Awesome unique flavours and a few of the staples will make sure the whole crowd is satisfied. The champorado is my favorite!!“

“You will have to admit, you're getting a great mix of Egyptian and Greek flavors here. Deserves the lengthy review. I believe the owners are a family, in operation for about 2 years and you can really tell from their warm conversations that love goes into the food. The attention is not just a great service experience but a natural feeling of the intention they pour into what is hard work and quality food. Don’t know if it’s fair to say “service” or “atmosphere” or if it should just be called “the passion” expressing itself but you feel the hard work and enjoy the food more. The atmosphere was beyond any expectations as a result. Overall, the experience feels very genuine, making this my favorite place to eat in Edmonton right now. I am compelled by my first time here to highly recommend Pharaohs Restaurant—it’s a must-try.

The menu is small but well-chosen, all of what you would expect and want to eat in the genre of three cuisines, so everything is made just right. We ordered the platter for 2-3 people, but honestly, it’s enough for three. They did warn us and explained everything clearly, that you’ll want to save room for dessert. We were too full to enjoy dessert properly because each dish was so good—you’ll want to savor each one! Still, that just means you'll have to come back and try more and fit dessert. The Italian is woven in and fantastic! It’s a true fusion that stays true to its roots, without sacrificing authenticity. I’ve had good Greek food and homemade Egyptian dishes before, but I didn’t expect them to blend together so seamlessly. This is not Michelin Star but not your everyday home cooking either.

I know I have hyped it up and I clearly enjoyed it but it deserves this level of extended review even just for the next aspect I want to highlight. The cozy, authentic vibe is hard to find after the pandemic changed how many restaurants operate, but this one really stands out as what I only now innately remember was an excellent dine in experience pre-pandemic. Almost would not mind being stuck anymore on Gateway and Calgary Trail knowing I can just eat dinner here! The options in this part of town have not disappointed and many deserve a visit - but this one most of all.

The Context:
4ppl (30-40yrs old)
Saturday 6:30pm to 8:45pm
Just meeting up with friends haven’t seen in a while.
Friend in the group chose this place based on Google reviews- I didn’t check prior, just their website.“

“Our family of 5 visited Edmonton for one night before we flew back to Toronto and Vincent (the owner) made our dining experience so much more memorable! The food was great and the service is 6 out of 5 if I could give 6 stars! Would definitely recommend to others!“

“I went with my family for the buffet dinner, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The variety and taste of the food were exceptional, and the service was truly outstanding. The waiter was attentive, courteous, and professional, ensuring every detail was perfect. My family loved it, and we look forward to coming back again #Ruby“

“I spend way too much $$ here on cookies... not because of the price but because they are soooo delicious :)

Your family or coworkers will love you when you show up with a dozen assorted!

And they have magic coffee cups, I drove 2 blocks with one on top my car and it did not spill !!!!!!

Check them out.“

“CRAFT Beer Market Edmonton is my go to for great beer and food in a lively yet relaxed setting. The interior is spacious with high ceilings, industrial accents and big screens showing the game. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable about the rotating tap list featuring dozens of local craft beers and international favourites. I started with the kung pao lettuce wraps and soft pretzel with beer cheese dip… both were delicious and perfect for sharing. For mains the ahi tuna poke bowl and crispy chicken sandwich were fresh and flavourful. Their seasonal cocktails and beer flights are also worth trying. The rooftop patio offers a wonderful view of downtown and the atmosphere is perfect for catching up with friends or colleagues. With attentive service, a diverse menu and a fantastic selection of drinks, CRAFT Beer Market never disappoints.“

“I am from Iran and we love tea.. this is the best tea shop in Edmonton. Without a doubt! They have amazing variety and great prices.“

“Kind ice cream is such a pleasant place to visit. The energy is light and cheerful. They have their regular flavors but also circulate others so it's always a surprise with every visit, you never know what they'll have! the staff make you feel right at home!“

“Love their food - great vegetarian options. Don't have to worry about having any meat in my meal.“

“Enjoyed a fantastic brunch @pip_yeg 10/10 recommend!! Eggs Benny was so flavourful and dynamic! And the strawberry Aperol spritzer was so refreshing☀️ BEST of all were the staff! Thanks for being so kind and inviting 🥰🥰.“

“as a celiac i’m am so happy to be able to go to rio vida and get freshly made food. i have been several times for the chicken pot pies, calzones (pepperoni and the chicken/cheese are my favorite) and the fried chicken sandwich’s are super tasty!!
thank you for being amazing. can’t wait to try more things and love that i can buy them frozen to make at home. ❤️“

“This was our first visit, but will definitely return. Friendly staff, great food and interesting drink specials. The large patio in the garden is a real bonus on a sunny day. Highly recommend!“

“Great selection of banh mi sandwiches. They make their bread in house, Fresh crusty buns for your sandwich filled with your choice of different types of meat and choice of fresh cilantro marinated carrots and cucumbers. Great value for under $10 better than Subway! Grab and go.“

“Absolutely amazing food! love coming here. The veggie combo is my absolute favourite!!“

“very clean, great atmosphere, friendly staff, great food!“

“The variety of items that if you would get anywhere it would damage your health. This bakery has deserts that are not only gluten free but won’t make you feel nauseous or sick just from eating 2 danishes. Screw Tim Hortons, crumble and other bakeries because this bakery is the best alternative for healthy sweets, lunch and dinner. I used to go to a donut shop and get some sweets every now and then . Since i discovered this last year i been coming here every week before work to get everything my wallet will allow me to get. Imagine eating a set of cookies and wishing for no effect to your health…are you imagining? It’s too good to be true right? Well not necessarily because this bakery is exactly that. You won’t regret it.“

“Had the pleasure of bringing my kids to the opening in Sherwood park. Loved it!! A lovely young girl helped us with the menu and I must say she was great. Emily was very knowledgeable and friendly to my boys. Highly recommended and will certainly be back!!“

“Located off of Whytes Road, this place is serving up some delicious local meats, from brisket, ribs, pulled pork, etc they've got it all.
Their brisket was tender and flavorful.
The pork ribs were smokey, and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
We order a side of Mac and cheese and two large pickles. Both a great side dish that complement the meats.
Service was superb, friendly and efficient!
Perfect place if you're feeling carnivorous!“

“Love, love, LOVE The Next Act!! They are soooooo good at doing gluten free and being safe for celiacs. My go to's are the jack mozza sticks, spinach dip and wings! Dedicated gluten free fryer, score!!!“

“We were on vacation in Edmonton and we really enjoyed your kosher baked goods. We tried the burger buns, hotdog buns, bagels, bread, the pita, strudel, muffins and donuts and everything was amazing, fresh and good. Thank you Rachel from Toronto“

“They were extremely accommodating! It was a special occasion and the food and company was extraordinaire ! Highly recommend ❤️Service was spectacular! Our waitress cut his arm he was bandaged up and continued on excellent waiter! He made it extra special! There was a mix up without reservation! Front staff really helped and were very accommodating ❤️Highly recommend❤️❤️❤️“

“Love eating here!! It’s our go to spot when we are either going through Edmonton or into town! A must Stop!!😊“

“We visited few days back with friends and throughly. we tried Noodle machurian combo, Choley Bhature, aloo paratha and Samosas. Nice ambience, curtious service, will definitely visit again!“

“I've personally been to this restaurant over 30 times since arriving in Edmonton 9 years ago, so yeah it's favourite. It's wonderful.“

“oh man. We tried Loma House for the first time last night. I'm newly(ish) mostly vegetarian, my better half is a carnivore. We had a bit of everything. I didn't tell him until after all of this was vegan. He said with food like this "I could be vegan!" To put this in perspective, this is coming from a man whose only wish for his birthday was some massive steaks. The food is phenomenally tasty!“

“Kind ice cream is such a pleasant place to visit. The energy is light and cheerful. They have their regular flavors but also circulate others so it's always a surprise with every visit, you never know what they'll have! the staff make you feel right at home!“

“If Willy Wonka opened a boutique ice cream lab in the heart of Edmonton, it would be Made By Marcus - Whyte Ave. This place doesn’t just scoop ice cream—it performs culinary alchemy.

I came in skeptical, left converted. Earl Grey? Sophisticated. Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk? Like summer had a love affair with a dairy farm. Mac and Cheese? Sounds like a dare, tastes like a dream. It’s the kind of flavour lineup that makes your taste buds question everything they thought they knew about dessert.

The vibe? Cozy, tucked down a charming alleyway like a secret worth sharing Staff are friendly, samples are encouraged (bless them), and the waffle cones are so good they deserve their own fan club.

If you’re tired of vanilla life, this is your scoop of rebellion. 🍦🔥“

“I lOVE their grick middle - also when they have anything pulled pork it’s always amazing. Then their cronuts are fricken fantastic one of my favs!!“

“Wonderful atmosphere. Great place. Booked Mother’s Day tea. Such a shock when we walked in. Beautiful dining area“

“fantastic healthy treats. it's so great to have a place to take the kids where I know they won't get sick. thank you for using real food ingredients!!!“
