37 Best Vegan Restaurants in Durango

“Just had lunch at James Ranch a HUGE shout out to Grant!! Being a restaurant owner we're always "watching " employees. Great hire on him very well mannered ( yes ma'am and yes sir) I know personally good employees are hard to find and he's a good one!! The food was outstanding!! Highly recommend this place. We even visited the store and purchased apples, plums & peaches ❤️“

“Carver Brewing Co nails that laid-back Durango vibe without feeling lazy or generic. I stopped in and ordered the green chili cheddar burger with the JackRabbit Pale Ale, and that combo just works. The burger had real flavor, not just heat for the sake of it. The green chili actually tasted fresh and balanced, and the cheddar pulled it together without overpowering everything.

The JackRabbit Pale Ale was a solid pick. Clean, slightly hoppy, and easy to drink alongside the richness of the burger. Nothing overcomplicated, just well-executed.

Cathy took care of us and did a great job. Attentive without hovering, quick with recommendations, and kept things moving without rushing us.

If you’re in Durango and want something reliable that still feels local, this is a strong choice.“

“All around amazing. Management, food, service and ambiance. Thank you for a great evening.“

“Love this place! I’m a creature of habit, and Frieda’s has earned my loyalty. The grilled chicken asada is my go-to, and their coin margarita is outstanding. It’s my favorite little ritual here in Durango — great food, great vibes. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious! My favorite is Mixed Berry Crisp. 🩷“

“"🌟 Extraordinary Experience at Rupert’s in Durango! 🌟 Living with a rare form of celiac disease (#Only20kInUS), finding accommodating eateries is a gold mine! Today, breakfast at #RupertsInDurango was not just a meal, but a celebration of care & culinary delight! 🍽 Imagine my joy discovering a menu dotted with #GlutenFree tags! Yet, after a minuscule bite of my chosen dish, we realized there was a tiny mislabeling issue. Anxiety washed over me, but not for long... 🌈 Enter the superhero owner of Rupert's! With swift action and genuine concern, the mislabeling was corrected on all menus right there, on the spot. The unexpected bonus? Our delightful breakfast, infused with savory Bloody Marys, was graciously comped. 🎁 Not just an apology, but a demonstration of customer service excellence unfolded before our eyes, turning a minor hiccup into a memorable, heartwarming experience. #Ruperts not only amazed with their rapid & caring response but also with their efficient, friendly staff and delectable, speedy service. Each bite (post-correction 😊) was a symphony of flavors, validating Rupert's as a beacon of superb dining in Durango! Drop by for an unforgettable experience, where the food is as incredible as the people serving it! 🌟#MustVisit #DurangoDiningDelight #CustomerServiceWin"“

“Best BLT I’ve had in a long time. Clean fresh atmosphere. Budget friendly. Friendly employ.“

“We drove pass Durango and found this place, the steak is really good, I guess Colorado mountains area is just expensive since they have a lot of tourism all years round, we didn’t have reservation but was seated quickly. The waitress even brought my dog some water. Great experience!“

“This place knows how to cook breakfast and hands down knows how to use green chili. I highly recommend their omelettes, pancakes and most of all the green chili grits. Huge portions and super friendly staff. It’s a Durango gem!“

“Best cafe in Durango! Everything is made fresh everyday, their drinks are amazing, and incredible owners and atmosphere. Their sandwiches and quiches are to die for. Recommend to all of my family and friends!“

“The soft tacos and quesadillas are absolutely fantastic, and the margaritas are top-notch! They use a homemade lime mix, not an overly sweet premade one, which makes all the difference. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. I’m so glad we discovered this place—it’s definitely going to be a regular spot for us!“

“Great burgers and vegan options. Probably the best black bean patty I’ve had!“

“Good music, fun atmosphere, great cocktails and a solid menu with reasonable variety“

“I had a great experience that was facilitated by Roberto. He is an impressively talented bartender, and absolutely personable. You would be lucky to have him craft you a cocktail. I’m confident that he could please even the pickiest of drinkers. I look forward to being served by him again and seeing what he creates. Be patient if you are dining during busy hours. Quality takes time, and with Roberto you are pretty much guaranteed to receive a quality cocktail. Take this into consideration if your wait to receive a drink is longer on weekends or during dinner hour. You are paying for quality, not speed.“

“Yummy yummy! I’m never disappointed! This is my go to place!“

“I love the friendly vibe and the environmentally conscious businesses at the Smiley Building. It's just plain fun to go to work there!“

“Pet Peeve: when people speak in superlatives (especially as a former English teacher). That being said… my wife and I just shared the Beersalmic Chicken Melt; and it was the BEST sandwich I’ve ever had in my entire life. It left me speechless… which is one hell of an accomplishment! The Copper Cabra (Moscow Mule) was also fantastic. Last, but certainly not least… the service was top notch!! 10/10!! You won’t regret it!!!“

“I was visiting from Albuquerque and came across your bakery. had a couple croissants, amazing! I brought a loaf of four corners bread home, I'm hooked for life!!!“

“🍕🙂👍 Wesley & the entire staff are awesome!“

“Funny story, half of Durango was without electricity where we were staying and someone at the grocery store share that at the east end of town had electricity and this place had great food. It did not disappoint! The Guacamole was outstanding! Our carne asada burrito was delicious and the Hibiscus tea was perfect. The service was great!“

“Everything is delicious, but the Kathmandu Sekuwa is out of this world. I've been working my way through the menu to find what dish is responsible for that irresponsible aroma wafting into the streets. It's the Kathmandu Sekuwa, and it tastes as good as it smells. Excellent food, wonderful service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Very good and great price...“

“the staff was great, the pizza was awesome and also, had some much needed beer.“

“Yummy yummy! I’m never disappointed! This is my go to place!“

“The Best margaritas in town! Our server Irene and owner Tony were so informative and hospitable! Great service! We will definitely return! At first we weren’t sure because of the location in the mall but it’s a great little restaurant 😍 Don’t hesitate to try it!“

“We had the lunch special 11am to 3pm. $10 for a slice 5 different pizza, drink & salad. Option 2 was a slice of pizza, drink & choice of cookie or rice krispie for $7. It was a large slice, was so delicious. I Highly recommend to eat here. Even more amazing was the staff are polite & friendly.“

“Thai Kitchen was a great find in Durango! They easily accommodated my vegan and gluten-free diet, which I really appreciated. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu, and the food was absolutely delicious. It's not always easy to find a place that does both vegan and gluten-free well, but they delivered on both flavor and quality. I would definitely eat here again and highly recommend it to anyone with dietary restrictions or anyone looking for a great Thai meal.“

“Yummy food.great Service. Decent price. Good beer!“

“The atmosphere was so awesome and our waitress was great . The food on the other hand was WAY overpriced for what you're getting. Our steaks were tender but tasteless and were mostly grisle and the vegetables were inedible imo. probably won't return .“
