50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Scottsdale

“Phenomenal experience. Location, ambiance, food and service were nothing less than spectacular. Everything was outstanding. The food was exquisite and the service was incredible. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely and would make anyone’s dining experience even more enjoyable. This is by far one of the best dining experiences we have ever had.“

“Best vegan burger I've EVER had! Also had the loaded fried and chicken strips - all delicious. We would eat here all the time if we lived here.“

“Jacque gave us an amazing service! She’s very attentive and super helpful. The service was amazing, fast and we will definitely visit again. Thankyou jacque!“

“Another great experience last evening. Food and beverages were phenomenal as always (shrimp cocktail, yellowtail sashimi, steaks, sides). Our server, Taylor Guzik, was fabulous...knowledgeable, friendly, attentive...an absolute delight! Many thanks Taylor for the Anniversary deserts...decadent!! We always sit in the bar area to listen to and appreciate the fine musicians. Last night was no exception. Renee Patrick, Nicole Pesce and their drummer were as good as it gets. Many thanks!!!!!!“

“Supposedly a high end steak house, the only thing high end are the prices and egos of their management team. Many better dining alternatives.“

“I just spent my first time going to Ocean 44 and I must say, this is one of the best restaurants I had ever been to. When I took my wife there they really took care of us. Any questions we had about the menu they made sure they walked us through the whole menu so knew how everything works. They took care of us just as good as being at a life loan Doctors office. I definitely recommend this place and especially to take your date to.“

“First time visiting YC’s in Tempe. The Food was great with a large selection of veggies and sauce. The employees were very friendly and went above and beyond helping us. The manager was very friendly also and spent some time talking with us about our home state of Alaska. We now live just outside Casa Grande and would love a YC’s Mongolian bbq in Casa Grande area. There is nothing like this in our area.“

“The food was good, waitress very plesent. The place is super clean and welcoming. I ordered Spicy Basil Chicken 5 out of 5 spicy, it was delicious but not spicy, however, the chili spice on the table was spicy enough. Great place! Thank You!“

“We received a box of croissants as a gift from Andreoli Italian Grocer. The box itself was a masterpiece featuring the acclaimed Chef Giovanni Scorzo, showcasing the delectable items inside. These croissants melt in your mouth like a sweet delight when prepared correctly. If you’re looking for something extraordinary, I highly recommend this as a gift.“

“I've wanted to go since the place opened up and I finally got to go for my 6th year anniversary. It was better than I imagined! All the staff members were so incredibly nice! 🥹 I definitely need to come back again, maybe even take a sword home with me next time 😏
Also can someone ask the redhead for his hair care routine?? Their hair is more majestic than the horses 😂🩷“

“This Place Was Fantastic! Great Food & Quality Service!!!“

“Just decided to try this restaurant on a whim! Ordered the Chicken Tawook Plate with sides of Lentil soup & salad, all of which was delicious! I will be back!“

“Visiting friends from out of town, we had great food, wine and service! We had a great experience. Chris made it extra special. Thank you again!“

“Staff are quite friendly. They checked on us after serving every dish. Ambience is very welcoming. Love the freshener sticks they used in restrooms. However, the food is not so great. Paneer masala, Mango lassi and Indian salad were decent.“

“Amazing food, excellent service authentic French cuisine!!!!“

“we came down to the dirt expo and ended up in downtown Scottsdale. This place is an absolute must stop. Staff is awesome. Hands-down one of the best burgers I've ever eaten and their mango margarita was top notch.“

“I hesitate posting this, because it is not a huge place, and I don’t want to create a future wait for myself. This place is exponentially better than the best review you’ll read here. Best bison burger I’ve ever had (and being allergic to beef, I’m an expert on the subject!) The creativity of the offered toppings is fun and mouth watering to even think about, best pretzel bun as well, and if you think you’ve had the best gelato in Italy, what Blu Burger carries will make you return here on nights you’re simply looking for dessert. The sides are homemade and generously portioned as well. Both the hostess and our server treated us like long lost friends, which in today’s culture is rare. They clearly value their customers. Our first time here, but we’ll be regulars now!“

“We had a truly exceptional experience. The cuisine was exquisite, and the service was exemplary. The staff's attentiveness created an impression of exclusive service, despite the restaurant being fully occupied. This establishment is highly recommended for those seeking a premium dining experience.“

“The spring rolls were so fresh and the sauce...their homemade sweet &sour sauce sprinkled with peanuts, was amazing. Got the Gai Kua, waiter’s recommendation, over my usual Pad Se Ew and so glad I went with this. The flavors are like a party in your mouth. Also tasted the Shrimp and asparagus special, equally as good. And the portions...very generous! Wish I would have had room to try the mango and sticky rice...next time!“

“This place is amazing. Very good food , very very friendly staff, good music and the right level. The lighting was even perfect. The late night Seen is the best seven to close. Very easy-going very chill Tuesday night. The food is very good. The staff is super polite and it’s tucked away off the beaten path. How good the food is mixed in with the atmosphere. Hands-down, one of the best hidden little gems in Scottsdale. I don’t write these that much. I’m not drunk either. ;) but very good food and very nice people with a solid atmosphere!“

“Wonderful food and the presentation was amazing! Servers were very friendly and make sure you have what you need, even boxed our food for us! Ps save room for dessert the cannolis and the pumpkin cheesecake were delicioussss“

“We just opened a shop down the street from this restaurant. We decided to try it one day, and now we're hooked! We go once a week. Their surf and turf fajitas, nachos, and quesadillas are amazing!“

“Having dined here several times, I can confidently say this restaurant continues to impress where it matters most — the food. Each visit reaffirms its standing as a place that knows how to deliver bold, authentic flavors and a well-balanced dining experience. On my most recent visit, every dish from our table was spot-on, beautifully prepared, and deeply satisfying. The kitchen remains the restaurant’s strongest asset — consistently turning out vibrant, flavorful plates that celebrate Italian cuisine without pretense. The cocktails arrived promptly and were well-crafted, setting the tone for an enjoyable meal. The wine list deserves a special nod: it offers a thoughtful selection of Italian wines that are both excellent and reasonably priced — a rarity that regulars will appreciate. Ambiance can vary depending on the night. At times, the tables feel a bit tightly packed, and the noise level can climb higher than comfortable. This visit, however, was more balanced — the addition of live music created a warm, convivial atmosphere, and conversation flowed easily. Service, unfortunately, remains the restaurant’s weakest link. Our server spoke so quickly that explanations about the menu were rushed and unclear, and attention throughout the meal was uneven. While this lack of polish doesn’t overshadow the exceptional kitchen, it does detract from what could otherwise be a near-perfect dining experience. In short, come for the food — it’s worth it. The culinary team continues to deliver excellence on the plate, making this a restaurant that earns repeat visits. But with a bit more focus on service refinement, it could elevate from “very good” to truly outstanding. Bottom Line: ⭐ Food: 9/10 – Consistently excellent, authentic, and flavorful 🍷 Drinks: 8.5/10 – Strong cocktails and a well-priced Italian wine list 🎶 Ambiance: 8/10 – Lively, sometimes loud, but charming with live music 💁 Service: 6.5/10 – Rushed and inattentive; room for improvement 💰 Overall Value: 8.5/10 – Excellent food at fair prices Verdict: Go for the cuisine — and hope the service soon matches the kitchen’s brilliance.“

“Great sports bar with a good selection of food. There are tons of TVs, making it an excellent place to watch sports. Both the indoor and outdoor seating areas offer plenty of space, so it never feels too crowded. Overall, a fun spot to grab a meal, enjoy a drink, and catch the game.“

“Tasty food and love the big portions.“

“We always love meeting our friends and taking our guests here. I always get the pork belly and grits because I just don't find that everywhere. We had a relative with lots of food restrictions this time and they accommodated every need and she was very happy with her meal. The waitstaff is always top notch!“

“Rosati’s Pizza is easily the best tasting in Phoenix…Have ordered from them for last 20 years and have never been disappointed. Just wish the restaurant was closer… currently a one hour round trip drive…. but SO worth it.“

“We went tonight for the first time and the food was amazing. The service was phenomenal. Jocelyn was great. The food came out fast was hot and delicious.“

“Anytime me and my husband come to town we make it a point to visit Postino (Highland) as often as possible! They have amazing gluten free bruschetta boards and paninis! Great food for a great deal. The servers have always been incredibly friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come back the next time we are in town.“

“My family and I have been going to Randy’s for over 20 years. It was one of our favorites from our first visit, but the new owners have made it even better! We live out of state now, but Randy’s is still a must any time we’re in Scottsdale.“

“found out about The Stand about a month before my trip to Tempe and I've been thinking about it nearly everyday since. Made it there minutes before they closed today. I was expecting to be let down - nothing can live up to those expectations! But they exceeded it by miles! Bad thing is I only get to this area once a year!“

“Our favorite place since moving to Scottsdale! Authentic, charming interior, classy and the food is amazingly delicious! The Management and staff set the tone for the experience of dining here. Rentu (spelling ?) the General Manager delightful and personable and Cody our server for Christmas Eve dinner, superb. 5 stars all the way!“

“My go-to for lunch at work. Fresh and flavorful, lots of options.“

“We brought my daughter here for her 18th birthday. We had the lamb vindaloo, chicken tikki masala, and chicken biryani. The chicken biryani was delicious and spicy. It was my favorite. The other two were very good. I didn’t love the vegetable samosas- they were very dense.We also didn’t love the desserts. However, the garlic naan was amazing. Our server was super attentive and helpful. It was a fun find. However, the atmosphere was a tad more casual than I expected.“

“Amazing place!!! True Italian!!!!!“
