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.“

“Odd Burger is by far the most affordable vegan restaurant in Edmonton. With the frequent 2-for-1 combo specials, half-off deals, app discounts, and $1.00 ice cream, my wife and I can both go out for dinner here and spend less than $15. Any other vegan restaurant in the city and we can easily expect a bill triple that amount. I am astonished at how well Odd Burger replicates the fast-food taste and atmosphere of the major chains. They have an extensive menu; I've been going regularly for over a year and have only tried about half of their offerings. There really is something for every palate here. I've also had good crossover success with my omnivore friends; they easily relate to the fast-food menu and find the food tasty. Also highly recommended are the Odd Burger frozen foods; they are available in-store and 7-11. (A few other places too, like Co-op I think). They don't really advertise the frozen goods in the Odd Burger restaurant, but they are available through the kiosk and app. The price is comparable to the common supermarket vegan meat, but I like the taste of Odd Burger's more. Also, Odd Burger is 100% Canadian while the supermarket vegan meats are often owned by American companies (even the ones that used to be Canadian). So yes, I highly recommend Odd Burger; it's my favorite restaurant in Edmonton.“

“Amazing Plant-Based Food & Great Service at Odd Burger (Ellerslie Rd SW)
We had an awesome experience at Odd Burger on Ellerslie Rd SW! We ordered the Vopper Combo with Greek Poutine, the Crispy Chickun Combo with Tater Tot Poutine, and a Mocha Milkshake everything came out hot, fresh, and super flavorful.
The food was delicious, and it was ready really fast too. The restaurant was clean and well-kept, and even the washrooms were spotless which shows they really care about the whole customer experience.
I’d highly recommend this location, whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or just looking to try something new and more sustainable. The menu has so many great plant-based options, and it feels good knowing it's all cruelty-free and 100% plant-based.
Love that it’s also a local Canadian brand definitely worth supporting! I’ll definitely be back and will be encouraging others to check it out too.
Keep it up, Odd Burger team! 🌱🇨🇦“

“Beautiful place great location amazing staff, delicious food. I am excited to return!“

“Fantastic service!! So glad we gave this restaurant a try during our trip to Edmonton!

Very friendly staff and the food was great too!
Our order came in very quick so we were able to get in and out with no wait time!“

“a large variety and so delicious!“

“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.“

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

“Loved the vegan pho!!! My new lunch spot“

“so many delicious options and we love it for thr GF and vegan recipes“

“Great food & friendly staff!“

“The service was amazing. Food was incredible. The lady was very professional and friendly. Combine 100 Stars. Excellent Restaurant 👍“

“Their meals are delicious“

“My friend and I had high tea! The food was delicious, the service fantastic and the atmosphere very relaxing and cosy. Highly, highly recommend Cafe Bel-Air!“

“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.“

“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“

“Delicious cookies that are egg-free, dairy-free, and nut-free. The service is outstanding. The staff are so kind and friendly. I have used their online ordering twice (once for a delivery and once for a pick-up). The experience was smooth and easy to use. They have new flavours every week. They are always a hit as a gift!“

“Very good breakfast experience excellent menu“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Food and dining experience is exceptional, Ambiance is very unique, with lush garden, lovely paintings“

“super friendly staff! cozy atmosphere! great pizza!!“

“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.“

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

“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. 🍦🔥“

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

“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!!

“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“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I’ve ordered from AUM Cafe several times now and all I can say is that not only is the food delicious, the owners really care. This is a rare combo these days I definitely recommend AUM Cafe based on my recent experiences. Awesome stuff 😊“

“My new favourite Pho place. The BEST costumer service, ever. Our food is always served so fast. I’ve tried a lot of Pho places and this one by far is the best. Great menu too. Definitely only going here from now on!😊“

“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!“

“I do not give out 5 stars across the board often . . . but this place more than deserves. Arguably one of the best spots in the city, this venue offers incredible small bites, expertly crafted cocktails, and service that’s truly top-notch. The ambiance is intimate and moody, yet perfectly lit—elegant without being stuffy, and exudes a cozy, chic, and effortlessly stylish vibe.

The small plates are flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. While the prices may seem steep at first glance, the quality and value are undeniable. This was my fourth visit, each time with a different guest, and I’ll happily keep coming back time and time again.“
