50 Best Vegan Restaurants near St. Albert

“I went to the cafe last Friday, Americano was so good served by wonderful, courteous and smiling Trinity. I love the Glasshouse Cafe: Excellent location, great coffee and outstanding service.“

“We were invited to an appreciation event at Central Social Hall by Buyer’s Choice and it was a great experience.
The venue is beautiful, well sized, and perfect for hosting events.
The food was delicious, especially the broth and the pretzel bites.
The staff were very kind and welcoming throughout the evening.
Great location, great atmosphere, and we truly enjoyed our time there.“

“We came here since we heard good things about it. Nice, clean, and welcoming spot with a bright, modern feel. The staff were cheerful, attentive, and quick to help, which made the visit pleasant right from the start.

KB & Co has a surprisingly large and varied menu, especially for a plant-based cafe, with plenty of bowls, wraps, smoothies, and healthy treats to choose from.
We tried the Smokey Caesar and the falafel dish. Both looked fresh and colorful, and the Smokey Caesar was especially flavorful — crisp greens, well-balanced dressing, and generous toppings.

The falafel, however, missed the mark for me. The falafel felt soft and mushy, and it actually fell apart easily, lacking the firm texture I typically expect. Additionally, it was rather mild in flavor and didn’t showcase the vibrant herbaceous notes that make falafel so distinctive. It wasn’t inedible, but it stood out as the one weak point in an otherwise solid meal.

Overall, though, KB & Co delivers fresh, health-minded food in a comfortable space with great service. I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu — just probably not the falafel next time.“

“I stopped by Chopped Leaf for lunch and was really impressed. The ingredients were super fresh, and everything tasted clean and flavorful. I ordered the Bangkok wrap, and the peanut sauce was amazing—rich but not heavy. The staff was friendly and helped me pick something I’d like, which was nice. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a healthy, quick meal that actually fills you up. Definitely coming back!“

“Such a wonderful bakery here in St.Albert at the Enjoy Centre! So helpful & accommodating....& everything is sooooo tasty! Highly recommend checking out Wild Earth Bakery!!“

“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 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.“

“Exceptional. Truly amazing food. The sauces steal the show to the point that it is easy to forget it is vegan, the ginger beef is deliciously crunchy, the kung pao chicken is hearty and warm, the chicken curry is décidant and earthy. Honestly everything we ordered came out really fast, service was great, family friendly environment. My first of many times here.“

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

“Great food & friendly staff!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Healthy portions. I started with Kim chi (and a side of rice because usually the Kim chi usually needs a starch to tame the spice). Well the Kim chi was delicious all by itself. I ate the rice anyway and basically spoiled my appetite for the color bowl. Lesson learned.“

“I love this place! The food is amazing here, and I always choose the buffet. I brought my friend here recently who also fell in love with the restaurant. I really love the low, dimly lit, ambient lighting. The music is nice, and is at a nice level so that you can still conversate. All of these things create a wonderful and authentic atmosphere. I have at times had waiters forget to bring stuff but, it can be understandable because it can get very busy at certain times. When a large event is happing it is especially loud. I've always tried to come on weekdays to avoid this but the food never disappoints regardless.“

“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.“

“Very good breakfast experience excellent menu“

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

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

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

“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!“

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

“The ice cream itself is super smooth and creamy and the portion sizes are more than fair for the price. I love that there is always something new to try which makes it exciting to come back again and again. The vibe is warm the staff are friendly and it just feels like a happy place to be. Easily one of my favourite ice cream spots and a place I will always recommend. It is a bit hidden behind an alley so you do have to take a small detour to get there but it is 100 percent worth it.“

“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 🥰🥰.“

“My wife and I love this place so much. They make the best sandwiches and they are to die for at a really good price. I recommend the lemongrass chicken sandwich. The staff are so friendly and kind :) they’re pretty quick on making them, it took about 5 minutes but it’s worth the wait!“

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

“MEAT is a well-known spot in Edmonton, and I’ve been here several times over the years. I usually go for the beef brisket or the ribs, both solid choices. I also recommend the mac & cheese or a jumbo pickle on the side—something about their mac & cheese just hits right every time, and clearly I’m not the only one who thinks so.

I will say the ribs can be a bit hit-or-miss. There have been times they came out more crispy than expected, almost burnt, while other visits they were cooked perfectly. It really seems to depend on the day.
Overall, still a reliable place to grab barbecue, and when they’re on point, it’s great.“

“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.“

“My celiac husband and I have gone here twice and we have been very pleased! Today we tried the chicken fingers, fries, and donairs. All tasted delicious! It is a relief to eat their products and not worry about getting sick! Staff are very kind and welcoming! We will definitely be back!“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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 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!!“

“We were a group of 14 plus two toddlers for Sunday brunch. Our server was one of the best i've encountered in a very long time. Happy, attentive, efficient, accommodating and energetic. Truly one of the best, large party servers I have encountered. The food was great and good value for money. Would highly recommend!“

“great people with great beer!“

“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!😊“

“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!!“

“The food is to absolutely die for, their wine selection is by far one of the best ive tried. I recommend anyone with a heightened palette to try every one of their appetizers. You will not be disappointed. Id give 10 stars if I could. Server is very very knowledgeable and super friendly. Felt like a friend!“

“quick, delicious breakfast and don't forget the Vietnamese coffee. so good.“

“Reservation went over the phone like the set up of how they get done, even arrived a bit late but spot was held for a additional 10mins. Sat at bar and was asked within 10mins of waiting so overall great response time and friendly/knowledge staff even new what to pair alcohol with food on a well organized and simple menu for the style of cuisine.
Appetizers well priced and great portions cooked well and elegant in presentation for a nice morden twist on a bar food classic. Main course was a chicken bowel which had heat and refresh or cool down with shredded zucchini to compliment. Will admitt slight down fall on over soy to the white rice base. Still came together in the end with the carrots off to the side again in shredded. Off to dessert. Note staff put a coaster on my drink very appreciated and shows that the bar is eyed out on safety to customers and clients atmosphere is great with play list and lighting even for starting dessert, ask for a drink off the menu and it was made had the b52 and tarmasue with ice cream was great to end the night. Overall good experience and well end. Will return .
Nice to have a recommendation from someone to check it out for my self as she to has great taste in places.“

“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❤️❤️❤️“

“I have been coming here for 15 years, and it is still one of my favourite pho places in town! With tons of vegetarian/vegan options, traditional and build your own pho, as well as the partner restaurant (Friends and Neighbours), this is an excellent spot for groups with various dietary needs. Pictured is the Buddha pho.“
