50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near South Glastonbury

“The food here is delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The owner is very friendly and the staff make the dining experience here a pleasure. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Stopped in for a very last minute birthday dinner. The staff quickly accommodated a large group (with kids) no problem. Food and service was excellent and the live music really made the night. We were very impressed. Thanks for a memorable night.“

“I never ever write reviews, but this place was outstanding and deserves it. My fiance and I went to a comedy night this past Friday. It was our first time going there, even though we live 6 min down the road.(I know, we've been missing out!) The bar staff was amazing in explaining the various types of wine, even allowing sampling before purchasing a glass. I've been to many wineries and the food/snacks are always overpriced. I love that you can purchase snacks here at a reasonable price AND they allow you to bring your own food-so fun! The atmosphere was cozy and just so beautiful. The show was great, we didn't stop laughing the entire time. We also met Toby and chatted with Karen and her husband,Larry? I believe. They gave us a quick history of how the winery came to be and they just seemed like the most genuine, nicest people ever. (Toby was the main attraction though!) We can't wait to go back again soon and try more wines/beers and join in the events that take place. It's such a beautiful, friendly place that is so welcoming. if you haven't been, run! Thank you everyone for the amazing experience.“

“Zaytoon Lebanese Restaurant in West Hartford with Ty. My first experience with Turkish coffee and it was superb. It's strong just like New Orleans coffee and Right up my alley. Our server was attentive, courteous, and efficient. He had a smile and a pleasant personality and was very helpful with the ordering. The food was hot and delicious. The lamb was a gift from the Greek gods. It was tender and seasoned and most flavorful with no gamey aftertaste. Everything you would want from a Mediterranean/Lebanese restaurant.“

“We hosted our 2 year old’s birthday party at Two Brothers Cafe and it was absolutely AMAZING! From the very beginning, the staff was so friendly, helpful, and easy to work with, it truly made everything stress free. The space was perfect for a fun family get together, and the atmosphere was just right. Every single staff member went above and beyond, and the food was absolutely incredible. We received so many compliments from our guests! We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate. Highly, highly recommend Two Brothers Cafe!“

“It was a culinary delight. I had the crispy duck leg. It was so tender on the inside. It was plated on passion fruit juice and seeds, and garnished with crispy rind of orange. It was such a joy to eat.“

“food was delicious waitress seemed a bit out of it.“

“Wow !!! A group of 4 of us were traveling through the area and needed a good place for Dinner …We called and made a reservation , the owner Al was very personable on the phone .We arrived for dinner and he had our name on table , and he introduced himself …We had a couple of beers while he explained the menu to us ….we Decided on a couple of appetizers and also a small pizza to sample before ordering our dinner . The appetizers arrived and were very good, but the star of the show was definitely the pizza , so much flavor … the crust was to die for light and airy and so much crunch in the crust !!!! Next was the Dinner - Chicken Francaise , Chicken Parm , Chicken Marsala , Fettuccini Carbonaro .All meals arrived hot and were Delicious …We also got to meets Al’s Daughter who was very personable just like her Father ….We wished we had this Restaurant in our community . Give this Restaurant a shot , you won’t regret it . Thank you“

“Amazing ambiance, incredible food, and friendly service. The bartenders make delicious drinks and the small plates are unique and phenomenal. One of my favorite restaurants.“

“Through the grapevine (social media pages I follow), we heard that Chef Van Hurd from Season 6 of Hell's Kitchen was now the executive chef here at Fire By Forge! So naturally, we pulled up to check it out! (Disclaimer: Chef told me that he was so new there that his featured items hadn't hit the menu at that time. ALSO, he's been long gone from there at the time of this review.) So anyway, here's how things went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right in Hartford, just a little on the outskirts is this gem. It's on Broad street a little out the way and there is a very small parking lot next to the restaurant, but street parking is also available. The outside looks very well put together and rustic. Once inside the restaurant is kinda split into 2 sections. You have the main section which is nice, open with high ceilings, bright red bricks, big windows, soft leather couches and all kinds of seating arrangements. If you walk past the bar you get into a smaller section, but it's kinda like a tunnel of tables. Lol. That tunnel of tables then opens up into what almost looks like a different restaurant, but feels like a space they expanded into. So there's plenty of places to sit, though I still encourage reservations! The atmosphere was lively and full of energy. This place also lets you know that it's a cooking school too! Amateur chefs can come here to learn knife skills and cooking skills as well! (This is just a small snippet of what they do, but I encourage you to visit the businesses website to learn more about what they offer.) Service: Here's my only gripe about this place. Right online it says "Happy Hour is from 4:30 PM to 6 PM daily and 8pm-9pm, except on holidays, events, or show nights." But like, when isn't there a show or some sort of event going at at The Bushnell or some nearby theater?! You have to literally call and check with the host to see if they're doing happy hour before you come because if you THINK you're in the clear, they can just say... oh there's a show tonight so there will be no happy hour. So that bothered me. Oh well. We still dined. Now for the good stuff! Let me tell you something about Suzie Johnson! She is the bartender here and she won BARTENDER OF THE YEAR in 2024 via the Connecticut Restaurant Association! She is a TREAT! She's full of personality, knows her stuff and is just a true pleasure. Food: First off was the Up In Smoke Old Fashioned. It had great, subtle sweetness up front, warm taste from the Up & Down branded bourbon, cold, smooth, not too harsh and of course, a bit smokey. As a courtesy to guests, they're served pickled carrots as palate cleansers instead of bread, crisps or anything like that. Clever. The first small plate I got to try were the Duck Mole Wings! These are described as "5 crispy duck wings with a tequila mole barbecue sauce, served with sesame seeds and pickled onions. These certainly looked the part! These were smooth, not necessarily crispy, extremely tender, hardy and just balanced. Mole is a very ingredient-heavy sauce and these were delicious. My 2nd drink was the Ghost Rider which is Up & Down bourbon, spiced Nightrider espresso, Licor 43 and an orange twist. This had a sharp cinnamon/hazelnut/nutmeg flavor/spice-y flavor. Very good and warming as well, even though it was a little sweet. Next up was the Knife Skills Soup! This is a soup compiled by the trainees and all the vegetables they've chopped in class! How cool is that?! It was a very thick vegetable soup, hearty, salty and warm. Next up were the Tostone Nachos! These were so fantastic. The pulled pork on top was so meaty, so tender and the queso fresco was lightly cheesy adding subtle notes to the hearty pork and carb-y tostone. This was my favorite thing of the night. My last drink of the night was the Sazerac. If absinthe is in the building, I must try that restaurant's version. This one was spectacular, but could've used more rye bourbon. The last thing we had to try was their Smash“

“Amazing food and friendly and attentive service! Anything we have tried here has been amazing. Always support local!“

“great selection, friendly service, super clean, informative, everything was delicious“

“I think Johnny should seat people in the order of the reservations. Not seat people he knows and be very rude when you ask him. We frequent this restaurant often, but after this experience we're done. I have written a letter to corporate regarding Johnny.“

“The beer is delicious and the food is worth a trip by itself. We had a large group and got a bunch of different pizzas. They were all home runs. Same goes for the wings. Been dreaming of the pizza since I left!“

“Celebrated our daughter’s birthday on Friday and everything was AMAZING! Our server, Jaden, was fabulous and our food was incredible!! Definitely a great experience!“

“Since a lot of these reviews appear to be old, clarifying 2 things: there are two locations (norfolk & hartford) run by Good Works Entertainment. The Hartford location used to have a bistro but does not any longer - they have chips and candy. The highly regarded Bears smoke house is across the street as is the convention center and hotel (that ay have a special rate if you ask). hartford location has nearby street and paid parking unaffiliated with the venue. Both feature a range of arttists so check one or both out with friends and family.“

“What a great restaurant with top notch service and amazing Italian food! perfect for a date night , we both enjoyed everything about Bricco! Can't wait to come back! Exceptional! 👌🏻“

“Absolutely loved our meal at Pietro’s Pizza. We ordered the classic cheese pizza, and it was perfectly baked with a crispy crust, great balance of sauce and cheese, and excellent flavor. The garden salad was fresh and crisp, with quality ingredients that made it more than just a side. The spicy Cajun wings were a standout—well cooked, flavorful, and with just the right amount of heat.

Great food, solid portions, and friendly service. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend Pietro’s to anyone looking for good pizza and wings in Hartford.“

“It Is My opinion that this is the best Italian Food in Connecticut. if you love Italian food you will love this restaurant.“

“I have been to this restaurant soo many times i cant count them on my fingers. This restaurant has been an eye opener for delicious korean food and has set a standard for what to expect from other businesses.

Over the course of 15 years i have had everything on the menu and i can attest that this is some of the best if not THE best place to get korean food that isnt your typical KBBQ.

The yuk hye jiang and all of the stews are amazing. I moved futlrther away otherwise i would be there all the time like i used to but i often ordsr the bossam and it is immaculate. Everything you would want for that dish which i will mention, almost no other places in CT do on a regular basis.

Lets keep this place busy and open, it is such an amazing institution, and the servers and chefs are a delight whenever you are there.“

“Great restaurant top to bottom. Appetizers, entrees, deserts, wine, drinks service…the best“

“Tasty food, but the service is lacking. My food came out wrong (the sever admitted it was wrong) and then she didn't key in a new entree so I had to wait 20 minutes before a new entree arrived. All of the other guests at my table were finishing up their food and they cleared everyone's plate as they put my fresh plate down. I felt very rushed. The service really took away from the dining experience.“

“Great service and awesome food!“

“We had an awesome experience this past weekend for my daughter’s birthday! Would definitely recommend!!“

“Authentic Vietnamese food with fresh and healthy ingredients served by super friendly staff. place is clean with a warm atmosphere. highly recommend.“

“Yellow curry and crab rangoons were absolutely delicious! Had enough curry for 2 meals, too. I got pad Thai mild spicy for my husband and it was okay. It was a little dry and not spicy enough, so if you want it spicy order your food hotter than mild spice! Will definitely be back for the curry and crab rangoons, though! Ordered online, so can't speak for service, but food was nice and hot when I arrived to pick up.“

“Clean Restaurant, Friendly n Welcoming Staff and Fantastic Food!!! I have No need to go to any other Restaurant cuz they have it All here..In my opinion, it's the Best Jamaican Restaurant in Hartford.“

“I would be there right now if they still had the chicken parm sandwich“

“This is a family owned restaurant which my husband I ❤️. The food was fresh and very good seasoning. The guacamole was the best we have had in a long time. This restaurant does not sell alcohol but if you want great homemade food this is a great spot.“

“I had the $60 special, all was delicious, had the petite filet and shrimp....best I've tasted! The ceasar salad that I was brought out was all bitter iceburg lettuce with hardly any green color, waitress replaced it with a green yummy salad next, no idea why they even served that colorless bitter iceburg lettuce to me first....but was remedied quickly, the waitress was great! Wasn't fond of the potatoes au gratin, had a really weird taste, and I couldn't eat them....asked the waitress and she said they changed them and have blue cheese in them now, and I hate blue cheese...so if you don't like blue cheese, do not get the potatoes au gratin...and I had the chocolate mousse for dessert...all in all, a terrific meal, the waitress was very good and accommodated everything we needed. I'd go back any day or every day if I could afford it!!!“

“Every little detail is beyond amazing…the decor, the food, the spirits, the hospitality. Like nothing I’ve ever experienced in Connecticut or anywhere for that matter.“

“Sarah at the Newington Outback is a wonderful waitress!“

“To all our loyal customers and new customers this month February 2026 with new administration we will try to offer a better service with the same or better flavor and the best attention come and try some new dishes thank you all for preferring cisco's Restaurant“

“We had our wedding at The Pond House Café and it was absolutely beautiful. The ceremony and reception were everything we hoped for. Our guests loved the food, the décor, the music, and the warm, welcoming vibe. The staff went above and beyond—Charlene, Diana, and Alissa took care of us with so much care and professionalism. Everything ran smoothly and felt special. We’re so thankful for the whole team. This will definitely be our go-to spot for future celebrations! 1000000/10 experience!!“

“I can believe we didn’t try this amazing restaurant until tonight. I can’t say enough about the excellent service and attention paid to our party. Top notch recommendations made for the best tasting meal I have had in a long time. We will enjoy this fantastic place many times in the future as our staple for high quality and superb food. Thank you for the exceptional evening and we look forward to joining you again in the very near future!“

“Hands down the best Indian buffet that I've ever had in the US. Thursday is their Dosa night where they have a live Dosa station along with South Indian staples served in buffet style. On the weekends they have buffet lunch ranging from Goat Dum biriyani to Haryali green chili chicken to their famous Tawa fish (amazing appetizer). If you're around Hartford or a student at UConn do yourself a favor and visit this place for their buffets. The restaurant is clean, they serve alcohol , service is excellent and the food is honestly to die for! I cannot recommend this place enough 👌🏼💯“

“A-Z everything here is great, from service to bar to food. A great experience all around!“

“Delicious food & great service! Highly recommend the Pho....it's the best I've ever had! We drive almost 40mins at least once a month to enjoy the food!“
