50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Bridgeport

“Met a dear friend from New York at Bloodroot for lunch. From the street the outside looked small, plain and not very interesting. As we walked through the gate to the “side door” we were greeted by the water view and a lovely outdoor seating area - for another day, too chilly today! We stepped in the door and were immediately welcomed by Noel. From that point on, we were cared for and fed by Noel and her amazing cooks and kitchen staff - thank you Carol, Lailla and Yordanos. The food was excellent, the decor of vintage tables & chairs, hanging rugs off the rafters (one designed and hand woven by Noel) and lovely photographs on the walls, was both elegant and homey. We wandered the book store and bought their cookbook. What a wonderful experience to share with a dear friend. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant experience to all those who love vegan offerings and enjoy an intimate caring environment. Excited to return soon.“

“อร่อยมากๆครับ บริการดีมากครับ ประทับใจมากๆครับ กดLikeเลยครับ♥️♥️♥️“

“We celebrated our marriage here. A small party of 22 people. Everything was perfect. The owner and servers were great to work with. The food is always excellent. Try the ostras con mofongo!

Update 8-31-25: We came back for our anniversary. We enjoyed the chaufa, house salad, steak skewers with yucca, saffron vegetable rice, and the fried plantains. They remembered us from last year and wrote happy anniversary on our dessert plates (tres leches cake and the churros). It was special and delicious as always.“

“Last night we were there for an early Birthday dinner for me! It's been a long time since we've dined at Ralph 'n' Rich's, but I will say that our food was delicious, & the service was superb! Brittany was our server, & she was awesome! I can't recall our busboy's name but he was great with bringing bread to our table, & refilling our water glasses as needed. I had the baby arugula salad special to start, & it was so tasty & the perfect beginning before having an old favorite of mine, linguine with white clam sauce. My hubby really enjoyed the Spiedina Romano which is a kicked up mozzarella appetizer that if he fully polished it off, he wouldn't have ate his Chicken Piccata then tangerine sorbet afterwards! Don't worry, we brought home leftovers to enjoy! Topping off things was a surprise singing of "Happy Birthday" when my tartufo came out! Reservations are strongly recommended especially for dinner, but Ralph 'n' Rich's is a gem that's had staying power in Downtown Bridgeport for many years. Go there & enjoy!“

“My boys took me here for the first time for an early mother's Day dinner,,the food was delicious,the drinks were on point and the service was great, 😃,we will be back soon, downtown Bridgeport 😲“

“I finally got to try Tasty Yolk and holy heck is this sandwich good!“

“Best food around, the chef really knows how to cook.“

“Stopped here for lunch driving from Newport to Philly on a Sunday. I think we got lucky and caught their last day of the season? Driving their from 95, we had our doubts, but great find. We enjoyed the burger and the fish & chips. Beautiful late summer day, enjoyed on their top deck in the shade.“

“Honestly the women who I assume owns it sense she’s always there, might be the most wholesome pleasant person I’ve met. Quick to draw you in with conversations and home vibe she puts into her restaurant. You can taste the pride in the food. Eye popping proportions too. Love this place“

“Sonia can Cook that's for sure😋😋😋 Highly recommended. I was 100% satisfied. Thanks a lot.“

“Outstanding falafel wrap! Maybe the best I have ever had!! Their fries are perfectly seasoned and sensational. A hidden gem!“

“i love how big the portions and it food is always delicious. I've never ordered something and didnt like it. for example this is the burrito size i got tonight. 😍“

“Diner vibes all around, good food, and Angie (our waitress) gets an A+. Please thank her for me.“

“On the way back to NYC from Foxwoods and decided to stop by Bridgeport for some Vietnamese food. The original Vietnamese restaurant we googled by Bridgeport led us to a location that was closed so we decided to stop by this place since we saw it also served pho among other things. We were very pleased with selecting this place after our initial viet restaurant wasn’t open. The food here is really good!! Kinda hope they can open one in NYC if they haven’t already! If not maybe I’ll make the trip up here again in the near future just for the food.“

“Authentic Jamaican cuisine prepared like no other Jamaican restaurant. Many Jamaican restaurants open and then close in a blink of an eye. Here today gone tomorrow. So why is ROOTSMAN KITCHEN still standing when others have fallen?
In order to compete for customers in a very competitive market you must be intelligent, creative and tenacious. Leroy has that X- Factor which has kept him in the lead for decades. Everyone I know that craves that Jamaican vibe along with the flavors that go with it always highly recommend ROOTSMAN. Long time residents of Bpt, who have relocated to towns up north, still take the drive to feast on Leroy's Pepper Steak, Oxtail, Jerk chicken, Curry Goat, Curry Chicken etc.
I personally feel that ROOTSMAN is the epitome of how meats should be prepared. Melt-in-your-mouth like hot butter on pancakes. Succulent, juicy, tender and so flavorful you'll wish your portion never ends! I hope my visits to ROOTSMAN never end either!“

“The mixed nachos have literally been the best Nachos I've ever had in my life... I've had them at least 20 times and they are always amazing“

“Amazing food and biryani!! Family friendly and authentic desi food“

“Yummy breakfast but sooo much food. I had a quesadilla with egg, cheese, bacon and hashbrowns. It came with salsa and sour cream. My husband had an omelette with mushroom, onion, cheese and jalapeño. The jalapeños were huge. He said it was good. Clean bathrooms also.“

“Wow.... how have I never been here before. I pass it all the time. I have to say, from the outside, it's not very inviting. Maybe they could use more windows so you can tell of they are open or not. I was going to Madison deli on the street, but decided to pop inside Paraiso instead. So glad! Ordered a shrimp quesadilla, not in the menu, but most places I've found are accommodating. I got the meal, which comes with rice and beans. I was gonna get a side of guacamole, but at $7, it was too rich for my blood. Figured I'd just enjoy what came with the meal. The inside is clean, quiet, you're not right on top of the next table. I was getting mine to go, but they are offering dining in. My plate came to 17.50. Got home. Cracked it open. A very decent portion. Heavy! I like that when I spend a lot! The quesadilla was on. The. Money! Fresh, ample shrimp. Gooey cheese. The rice and beans was tasty and fresh! Perfect texture of beans. And a fresh salad on the side with a sliced avocado. I was disappointed there was no guacamole, or even sour cream. Luckily I had my own dollop of daisy to add but I'll sadly have to try the guac another day. Either way im writing this F-U-L-L. I'll be back!“

“There food is the 💣 best pizza in bpt…“

“beverly’s is such a comfort spot. staff are always friendly & appreciative of customers. the interior is old school and nostalgic. the pizza is incredible!!! pictured is half cheese and half pepperoni/sausage. so reasonably priced as well.“

“Love this diner over all the rest. Too bad they close at 3 pm.“

“Love it. One of the few places worth going out to dinner. The food is delicious love the grilled octopus so tender! The atmosphere is relaxed no issue lingering over dinner with friends.“

“Food tastes great each time.“

“11.3.24 My 1st time visiting and eating Portugese food. The service was excellent. The food was flavorful and delicious. It was a bit loud with the screaming kids around us, but that just added to the atmosphere. If I loved closer, I'd be here again very soon.“

“My wife and I walk to this place all of the time. I especially like the chicken soft shell tacos. Because the shells are good and sticky (not everyone's preference, I know), and the ingredients are of high enough quality, and so well-prepared, that they don't have to over-douse everything in salty sauces to mask the awfulness, the tacos stay together well. They are also reasonably hearty tacos--not thin, not overpacked. In short, this is one of those places that understands that well-wrought simplicity is the best approach for this kind of cuisine--great for a quick, satisfying meal. The service is efficient and kind, too!“

“Went with my daughter ad we both ordered fish and chips. Order is picked up at counter. Fish and fries were both hot and crispy, with a large piece of cod. It was light and flaky. People at the counter were friendly and helpful. Sat on the dock area under a covering. Very nice experience.“

“Perfect neighborhood spot to enjoy the weather and whatever game is on.“

“Thank you Vazzy’s for catering the Trumbull HS Post Prom 2025! It was flawless-from menu planning to delivery! They made helpful menu suggestions to get the most out of our budget. They delivered on time and the food was hot, delicious and ready to be served! The kids most enjoyed the pizza, pigs in a blanket and quesadillas. Vazzy’s has catered the THS Post Prom for many years now and other events at THS too. See you next school year for Power-puff and Post Prom!“

“As first time visitors it was a little difficult to find but staff in the store were really kind and helpful. This is located in Azteca Market. It's in the back of the store.

The young lady who gave us our order did so with a pleasant smile.

The birria tacos were great. Definitely best enjoyed fresh however they still had a nice crunch after the ten minute car ride home.

The steak burrito was also very flavorful and filling.

We got two sides of rice and beans (one came with the burrito and the other as a side). Neither of these were anything to write home about. The rice was very bland and the beans were good but nothing special.

Will definitely be going back“

“Food is delicious and very short wait.“

“Clean interior, Well lit and inviting. The people were super nice, and generous with the portions. All the food was delicious. I especially liked the chicken, griot and the legume. And of course the Pikliz! Super spicy just how I like it 😊 Merci beaucoup!“

“Eu Amo La Poblanita ❤️🥰🤩😊🥳🙏🏻🍹🍾👏🏻 I love this place❤️the best Mexican food ever!!!! ❤️❤️Good food and a good place to have a good time 🥳🌹🤩🥰🍾👏🏻“

“Wife and I frequent Mr.Crab every few months and have nothing but kudos for the staff ,service and food. We usually order feast for two and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend this establishment when in the area.“

“My family swooned when I offered to go to Merritt Canteen for Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwiches on fresh, warm Portugese rolls with their SPICY chili. I cannot eat this sandwich without making the Mmmm sound, I don't even realize that I'm doing it. I also ordered a container of the chili to bring back home, ate breakfast like a happy king for a week.“

“This is my favorite Haitian restaurant . The people are nice and the food is amazing!!! The griot and pikliz are my favorite!! Everyone should check it out ! If this isn't the best Haitian restaurant in Connecticut it must be in the conversation. The ambiance isn't ideal for a romantic date, but the service is charming“

“Good food good service fast delivery the only place i order from“

“Great restaurant, amazing food and awesome service. If you need a reason to visit downtown Bridgeport, Connecticut, Thelma’s is a must!“

“By far the best diner I've been to, I had their triple Cheese Burger (Medium Rare) with fries. They cooked the burger exactly how I asked for it and the fries were both soft and crunchy, I also ordered disco fries and they were phenomenal. The staff was kind and made sure everything was all right with my order, and paying the bill was easy cuz they let you do it with a QR code and you can pay through that instead of having to actually like wait and pay or pay at the cash register in front. All in all an excellent experience and I'm definitely going to go back again.“

“My first time ordering food from this place and it was a 10/10! From the customer service, to the wait time, to the taste of the food/portion size/ price of the food, SOOO GOOD! I highly recommend the creamy alfredo linguine with grilled chicken. Comes with a roll (bread)“
