21 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Mystic

“The Shipwright's Daughter came highly recommended to us by locals we had talked with while vacationing in Mystic, and it did not disappoint. We booked a reservation for 7:15pm on a Saturday evening, and we were seated promptly at 7:15. From the hosts initial greeting, to our server first introducing herself at the table, every staff member made us feel welcomed. It was lovely. The cocktail my girlfriend ordered and the local draft I ordered were both outstanding. Our appetizers of Oysters on the Half Shell and a Yellowfin Tar Tar served on a Potato Pavé, were both so delicious, full of flavor, and beautiful. Our entrees consisted of the Zucchini Bucatini and the Duck Confit special, and both came out perfect. The seasoning, the cook of the duck, the plating were all immaculate. It's very clear the staff takes pride in their work, and make sure the guests have an outstanding experience. We finished with dessert, a Plum Sorbet Pavlova with a Peach Reduction, an Espresso Martini, and an Irish Coffee. We were finished with our meal and drinks and on our way by 8:20pm. All in all, it was the best experience I've had in a restaurant. The meals were phenomenal, the staff was top tier ( I apologize I can not remember our waitresses name, but she was outstanding), and the overall experience was more than I could have hoped for. If you are traveling to the mystic area, and you want to have an outstanding dining experience, this is the place for it“

“So very disappointed. Was there with a disabled person and treated terribly by customers and wait staff. Food was not good and service was terrible. Have been there previously and had a much better experience. I am not sure what changed but definitely will not go back or recommend this place if the same rude waitress is there. So very disappointed.“

“The food was very good! My husband and I shared the Lobster roll it wasn’t overly buttered , you can taste the lobster. The atmosphere eas nice and service was good.“

“Our server Randi was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She is a real p.lus for your business. The firecracker shrimp was amazing.“

“DELICIOUS, the oyster happy hour is Devine!! Split a dozen oysters and the chowder with my husband. The flavors are incredible. This was the best chowder I've ever had! It's not thick and soooo good omg. The Ghia mocktail and Best Day Brewing beer was also great after a long day of hiking.“

“A lovely bakery and coffee shop worth the visit

Sift Bake Shop is a really nice coffee shop and bakery. The coffee was great, and the baked goods were beautiful and delicious. It’s clear why it’s such a popular spot.

One tip: mornings can get quite busy, but later in the day it’s much calmer and easy to get whatever you want without the wait. Either way, it’s worth stopping by. We would definitely recommend Sift Bake Shop to anyone visiting Mystic!“

“We ordered take from from Rio Salado this evening and it was delicious. The manager (Katie) was a doll. She took our order and every request for substitutions or additional food was not a problem. The wait staff is personal able and the restaurant is lovely. We plan on ordering again and look forward to having dinner at the restaurant. So if your looking for delicious Mexican food served by polite staff in a nice restaurant, this is the place for you.“

“Absolutely wonderful! We did a lobster bake for six plus bought cod and shrimp. Everyone agreed it was the best they had. Everything was hot and delicious without being overcooked. The shrimp was so sweet. Great find will will definitely have them cook for us again!!!“

“Mystic Pizza has by far, some of the best pizza I've ever eaten. the staff was great and very friendly. Ask for Alex, she was wonderful.“

“We didn’t have the best experience for Valentine’s Day but we came back and had a much more enjoyable experience tonight ! Service and food were both great . We will be back 😀“

“Super delicious, fast service, cool decor/venue and prices are great! Highly recommend!“

“This is one of my favorite places! I love their cabbage grinders, so instead of shredded lettuce, I get shredded cabbage. It gives your grinder that extra crunch. Their grinder rolls are the best around here. They don't get soggy and they taste great!“

“Our first time visit to the area and Mystic Diner was recommended. We enjoyed their breakfast several mornings. Clean, friendly, attentive staff, many selections, breakfast all day, reasonable prices. Lots of desserts but didn't try any. They have a take out window. If it looks like they're packed and long wait, go in anyway, the place is huge. It happened to us and there were plenty of tables/booths available.“

“love love love this place! 😀 ❤ such a good environment with such good people!!! come in for great food!“

“Delicious food with the best staff!!“

“📅 09.16.25 WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews - EP.163 🍕 Mango’s Wood-Fired Pizza Co. 💎 'Big Al's 💎 Gem Spot' Old Mystic Village, CT This afternoon I pulled up to the Village of Mystic straight from BMW of Warwick in my new BMW M850i Gran Coupe to see if Mango’s could raise the B.A.R.R... because I was hungry. And they absolutely did. In fact, this spot just became a Big Al’s 💎 Gem Spot. Here’s how it all went down: 1️⃣ Wood-Fired Wings (Buffalo) - $15.95 BOMB! 💣 Eight perfectly wood-fired wings- crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with buffalo sauce that hits just right. The blue cheese dressing deserves its own shoutout 💣😎 2️⃣ Oma’s Real Meatball Sandwich- $17.50 BOMB! 💣 These wood-roasted, hand-rolled meatballs were full of flavor and smothered in rich pomodoro sauce, tucked inside toasted rustic bread with melted provolone and parmesan. It comes with potato chips and a fresh crunchy pickle. 3️⃣ Small Mango’s Mozzarella Pie- ½ Mozzarella/Funky Monkey- $19.95 💣 DOUBLE BOMB! The cheese half? The best cheese pizza I’ve had on this side of the Thames River, perfect crust, flawless sauce-to-cheese ratio. The Funky Monkey half? 💣💣 DOUBLE BOMB! The heat level was spot-on and the flavor combo was straight 🔥. Verdict: Mango’s brought the flavor, the service (big shoutout to my server Jessica, who was mad cool 😎 🙌🏾), and the vibes. This is officially a Big Al’s Gem Spot, and one I’ll be coming back to again. ☝🏾❤️ - Big Al Mayo “See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out”“

“Kendall was sweet & gave great service! 10/10“

“Outstanding hot quality food with large quantities, quick service, a diverse large menu, nice people, and did I say the food was great. I only give it a 4 because the day we were there, there were several flies that were bothersome. Not sure they can control that, but it affected the experience. But I’d for sure go back - just for take out.“

“Hands down some of the best food around, the pizza is perfect. Our new favorite place! We will be back!“

“Waitress was excellent. Food and drinks were wonderful as well. Decor was dark wood 70’s-80’s style but we loved the old school feel.“
