49 Best Vegan Restaurants in Stamford

“My husband and I recently hosted our baby shower for our first baby at Flinder's last weekend (3/21/26), and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. We hosted roughly 55 people and utilized the entire restaurant for our private event (restaurant buyout). From the onset, Ross and Eric (Mgr. + Assistant Mgr.) were incredibly friendly, responsive to all my questions via email, and agreed to meet not once, but TWICE in-person to ensure all details were accounted for, and that our requests would be accommodated. The event ran smoothly because of their professionalism and attention to detail. During the event, the kitchen, bar, and wait staff were incredibly attentive, kind, friendly, and honestly felt like part of the party the entire time. Our family and friends raved about the entire experience, including the service, the food, and the configuration of the space. We left smiling from ear-to-ear, and are incredibly grateful to everyone at Flinder's for helping to make our baby shower a great success!“

“This place is amazing, we have been using them for all of our catering needs for all our meetings and staff lunches, food is always fresh, tasty and have a variety of dishes which we love!! staff is always friendly and delivery person is always on time, food well packaged and always fresh and delish. Portions are always in great size and their variety on sides and salads are always a big hit. They are always super accommodating and always have great suggestions on dishes. My team is always happy with the dishes they provide.“

“We were visiting my brother and his family from Boston- they live in Greenwich and brought us here. The food here was so much better better than any place in Aniston. The environment was nicer than any Ethiopian restaurant I’ve been to. The service was excellent - they never let us run out of injera- and I even had a delicious cocktail. Wish this was in Boston!“

“Excellent! Been a while since I’ve been here and been a while since I’ve been in the northeast, so it tastes even better after being out west for so long.“

“Wellness shots, fresh juice, and açaí bowls! Everyone is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable!“

“Awesome time always. Staff always super welcoming and helpful. Service... excellent! LETS GOOOOOO!!!“

“will be back recommend this place loved the food great service nice atmosphere“

“I’ve been going to Mecha Norwalk, Stamford and Fairfield for years. I love pho and they have some of the tastiest pho here. The red oil dumplings are also delicious. The atmosphere is always fun yet laid back. Service is consistently friendly and attentive.“

“Zahra corner grill has Super fresh and delicious Mediterranean/ Lebanese food . I have been coming here for couple of years now, never had a bad experience. They also have a healthy variety of juices and natural sodas . Super friendly owners and super clean place. Not to forget the Arabic coffee and baklava !!! Love this place“

“Great place for good real food“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“They made us feel special last night. And the food was excellent t - Best I’ve had outside of Mumbai!“

“Quick appreciation post to Cobs Bread on High Ridge Road. My 2 year old son went in earlier and took a VERY long time to pick out what he wanted. The young lady helping us was so patient and kind with him. Once he picked out his treat, she told us that it was on her. So amazing. The young lady was wearing a Stamford High Mask. Hoping this reaches her parent or boss, what a wonderful young lady and amazing customer service! ❤️“

“The hibachi was amazing! We also had sushi and fried calamari were scrumptious.“

“We had a delicious meal of some of the best Indian food we’ve had in a long time! We had takeout and we’ll do it again soon. The lamb was particularly good.“

“Mariana is a wonderful server,efficient, kind, and always knows what we want. She refills my iced tea without being asked! Going to the diner is always a pleasure with her.“

“Thank 😉you, "Kevin," for my outrageously -fab Bloody Mary. 07/13/2025🧀🍅🥓🌶🧂🐔📸“

“the atmosphere was amazing, the staff was pleasant and very personable, the food was delicious and desert the chocolate bomb I believe that's the name was the perfect ending to a wonderful service also the waitress helped me pick out a non-alcoholic drink cucumber something I'm horrible with names that's why I haven't mentioned theirs because they definitely gave it I'm just horrible with remembering anyway....if you're in Stamford area go there you'll meet them tell them Emma sent you you won't regret it I live in New Jersey and will go back“

“really good chicken over rice and shawarma rice plate!! loved the green curry sauce“

“Ooooooooooh yeeaahh!! Been waiting for a place like this to come local! It's finally here and it's excellent! I order from this joint at least once a week. Love some lamb over rice. Keep it coming because we love it!“

“Great food and great service.“

“the best sandwiches in USA!“

“Service was a little clunky. Food was delicious. Cocktails nice. Overall, a pleasant visit.“

“Tutto molto buono e posto gradevole“

“Cake came out just like the picture I gave them. The inside was delicious. Contributed to my daughter’s baby shower being a success!!!“

“Si recomiendo a casa Villa por la experiencia , es una cocina seria y más que nada el dueño que sabe lo que está presentando para sus clientes recomiendo casa Villa“

“I had the pleasure of going there last night for first time and I highly recommend it...Amazing food, fresh ingredients, nice sized portions and the owner/staff are friendly, attentive and accommodating...The best, authentic Mexican cuisine food I’ve had ever and so reasonably priced...👍“

“Nice food, polite staff and large portions. They seem to do a busy take out service too, which is usually a good sign of repeat customers. I enjoyed a pineapple fried rice and chicken dish. Prices are reasonable for Stamford. Located on Bedford street which these days is a bustling center for bars and restaurants in Stamford.“

“Delicious coffee , wine and friendly staff“

“love this place ❤️, will recommend, food is great and the staff well maintained“

“always a smile to greet you with your order“

“I ordered Chicken Marsala and the chicken was raw. I did not notice until I'd already eaten a bit. I called the restaurant immediately and the man who answered had a very hard time believing that the chef who's been there for 30 years sent out raw chicken. I sent pictures to him. No reply. I am very sick today. I called the restaurant this morning and explained the situation again to a much nicer man who at least apologized and said he'd have a manager call me shortly when they got in. No manager has called. Nicks Pizza made me sick, refused to believe their chef sent me raw chicken...and I gave them plenty of time to make it right. With their lack of response or even care for this matter, I feel I now am left with no other choice but to post this review of my experience. I've been sick all day and have pictures of the pink/translucent chicken I ate from here to prove it. I am a long time customer however will never be back.“

“Taco-Mex served food at a party we went to and it was very fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and accommodating. Lots of choices and so yummy. Highly recommended.“

“It's one of my favorite Stamford pizza spot growing up. We went there today with my friend who was in town, The food was still good. New owners and I will try more and have more ideas if it's still the original that I grew up with.“

“Excellent customer service accompanied by great frozen yogurt choices and toppings. Absolutely delicious treat. I highly recommend this place to all. Well worth the trip . 😋💖“

“Great place to dine with a fun atmosphere.“

“My fiancé and I come here once per weekend to get coffee and breakfast and see our favorite employees, Angie, Maddy & Gary. These folks make it such a great way to start the weekend/morning and the coffee and food are always great! Would highly recommend checking this spot out if you are in town looking for a great start to your day.“

“I visited the chopt location in Stamford and the atmosphere was so welcoming. The service was excellent. The server Teajah was awesome. Since it was my first time. She explained all the toppings and ingredients to me.and made good suggestions .My salad was delicious! Teajah really made my first time experience great I will definitely be returning!“

“Always a wonderful catering experience for my office. Thanks, Laura + team!!“

“I’ve been coming to this place since I was a kid — I’m 31 now and still just as in love with it as ever. We even stopped by recently with the family right before a snowstorm, and it reminded me why this spot has always been special.

It’s a family business, and you can feel it. The owners and employees are super friendly, welcoming, and consistent. I first came here when I was 6 years old, and 25 years later, the flavor still impresses just as much.

That kind of consistency over decades is rare. A true classic that never disappoints.“

“It was a Monday like a Sunday since it was a holiday. Quiet. I pass it every morning but never see a spot. Today easy peasy -there was no one on the road at 8:30 am. So I went in and did two things I would not ordinarily do. Ordered a delicious latte and a pastry!! The guy who took my order was sweet and had perfect recommendations. I wanted to sit inside but I didn’t want to be alone. I sat in my car and held the cup in my hands and inhaled the aroma while I thought to myself. Next time I’ll come with a friend. Next time I’ll let the Lorca feeling last a little longer. Next time.“

“Edit: the last few months this place has changed, and not for the better. The pizza/pasta is not as good. Also the hours changed drastically. I used to come in a few times a week. Now even though I live across the street, they're not even on my radar anymore. I hope they can resolve whatever derailed them.“

“Very good solid choice for a casual moderately priced dinner. A little on the loud side, and the AC didn't seem Like it was working.“

“After a long wait the food comes then shortly after you get your drinks The food was good though“

“Phone number does not work.“

“Great Peruvian restaurant“

“Great experience great execution and good luck“

“We booked last minute for a birthday/book publishing party. Despite the weather (winter storm) we were accommodated with grace, professionalism, and great food and drinks! We will definitely come again when in town! Thank you for a great time!“

“Patisserie Salzburg is the kind of place you drift toward when the sun is out and the harbor air feels just right. Small tables outside, light bouncing off the glass, people slowing down for a moment. It is my mom’s favorite spot, and once you sit there with a coffee and something sweet, you understand why.

Step inside and it feels like you’ve walked into a full European pastry counter. The display stretches with croissants, fruit tarts, layered cakes, macarons, dense chocolate slices, and rows of delicate desserts that look almost too precise to touch. It is the kind of spread that makes you pause and scan twice. You come in thinking café, but it leans closer to a full bakery in both range and quality.

Then you notice it goes further. Behind the sweets is a full lunch lineup that could stand on its own anywhere in Stamford. Pizza slices with bubbling cheese, golden quesadillas, trays of chicken wings, baked pastas, fresh salads, dumplings, and soups. There is even a proper deli section with wraps and prepared foods that feel homemade rather than mass-produced. It is not trying to be one thing. It just does everything well and lets you choose your mood.

While there are a few locations, it still feels very much like a personally run operation rather than a polished chain. There is consistency, but also personality, and that comes through in the food and in the atmosphere.

The space itself is compact, but that is part of its appeal. It carries that European side street café energy, a little tight, a little busy, but warm and lived in. Nothing feels staged. It feels real.

The staff are friendly and efficient, but there is also a presence you notice quickly, the no nonsense “mama” running the place. She may not return your smile, even if you offer one first. But it does not come off as cold. It reads more like someone who has seen everything, knows exactly what she is doing, and stands firmly behind what she serves. There is something honest about that. In a town where many places try too hard to charm, this kind of quiet confidence stands out.

Patisserie Salzburg is more than a café, more than a bakery, and more than a lunch spot. It brings all of it together with character. On a warm day in Harbor Point, it is exactly where you want to be.“
