48 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in West Hartford

“I have dined here multiple times. It is always an elevated experience. Cora Cora is a good introduction to Peruvian food. Some of the dishes have adjusted flavor profiles and others are firmly rooted in their origin. A good place for newcomers to enjoy their first dive into Peruvian cooking.“

“Incredible experience eating here!!! We have a lot of dietary restrictions and usually have issues finding food to eat but our waitress Venisa and Chef Louis were absolutely amazing and were able to customize MORE than enough food for us, on a Saturday evening no less. Not only that, the food was to die for - especially the hummus, whipped feta, and grilled Haloumi over coals. Best Mediterranean food my family and I have ever had!! Would come here again 10000%Dietary restrictions: Jain options available (no onion, no garlic): hummus, grilled halloumi, whipped feta, labneh, etc.“

“love a good Gastro pub and Union Kitchen did not disappoint. Truly wonderful and friendly staff. genuinely nice people which is a refreshing surprise. The food was excellent. Stuffed Queen Olives and Whipped Ricotta toast were incredible. main courses Shrimp and Scallop risotto and the Lobster Rigstoni arrabbiata could stand up to some of the best italian and seafood restaurants. Atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming. would definitely visit again.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered a cheeseburger and when we got it, you can tell that they prepared it with fresh ground beef we were impressed. Everything was a little pricey but they justified it by how delicious and fresh the food was I will definitely go back again.“

“We held my sister’s bridal shower in The Barrel Room earlier this month. The room is already cute - and we loved bringing in just a few little touches to add to the space! The team is so easy to work with. Our guests raved about the food - we got a veggie platter, some hors d’oeuvres, and pizzas. We brought in some charcuterie cones from The Gathering Board (they delivered!) and some cupcakes and the team helped us swap things out during the party. Loved being able to hook up a Spotify playlist as well. Great beer and wine too! I know a number of guests bought some beer on their way out. Thank you!“

“My wife and I had our first dinner at Vinted Wine Bar tonight. My wife has had a good amount of experience at Vinted, but it was my first time there. Top to bottom... TRULY EXCELLENT!! We shared a nice bottle of Daou Cab while sitting at the bar, and started with the Whipped Hummus, with Crispy Scallion Cake. Best Hummus you'll ever eat, and the warm crispy thin cake slices are very delicious with the Hummus. Terrific! Then we split and shared 2 entrees: The Chicken Milanese, and the Vinted Prime Burger. Both, also super delicious. Rich, flavorful, perfectly prepared by the talented crew in the kitchen lead by the executive chef, and partner, Mike Voight. Ate every bite of everything. Lastly, for desert we shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. Holy cow, that is one incredible desert. Our bartender Chris was very helpful, friendly, and although busy had time to talk with us. And we found all the staff, extremely personable. Mike has a finely tuned ship in Vinted. We'll be back. #impressed“

“First time there with a friend had a great waitress gave excellent service and was well knowledgeable about everything on the menun and drinks. The food was amazing so shout out to the chefs in the kitchen every thing came out good and exactly how it was ordered... Keep up the GREAT WORK... DEFINITELY WILL BE COMING BACK...“

“I'm going to keep this short. What I'm about to say is a bold statement but I will stand by it until something better comes along (I doubt it will). My wife and I travel the US for work and have been to countless pizza joints in dozens of different states across the US and Dino's....well Dino's is the best pizza in the country. This place is so good that we have driven hours out of the way 3 times already just to eat the deliciously perfect pepperoni pizza that this fine establishment makes. Please support this place with your business because they deserve it!“

“This place NEVER disappoints. I’ve been coming here for over 20 years and have never had a bad meal. I’ve never even had an ok meal. It’s always incredible. Food is consistently fresh and delicious - from salads to entrees to pizza to dessert. The waitstaff is always accommodating and friendly. One of the best restaurants in the Hartford area.“

“Our meals were all very good. Our waitress was very friendly and good. It was very crowded and ordering, getting drinks and so on was rather slow but I'm sure it was due to how busy they were. The pop-up dinners they have been offering are an amazing value for delicious food.“

“Great service, atmosphere, and most importantly - amazing food! Highly recommend the scallion pancake roll with twice cooked pork, it was so good and our favorite dish. Dan Dan noodles also great. I'll be back to try the bao, the soup dumplings were good but not my favorite.“

“100% recommend if you have not eaten this type of food before please step out of your comfort zone everything was delicious I came here today for my birthday dinner before a concert with my two friends and was not disappointed! I will definitely be back“

“One of the best food places in west Hartford. Truly impressed with the chef’s talent. The flatbread was phenomenal- we got the wild mushroom which is drizzled in truffle dressing. An absolute must try, one of the best flatbreads I’ve had. The couscous is a staple and delicious but the prize went to the duck confit and wild mushroom ravioli. So much flavor, and the ingredients compliment each other very well in this dish. The only somewhat down side is that it is a smaller space, so you may require a reservation“

“This cute little spot has some good air fryer chicken wings and a great Hawaiian passion sunrise tea . It’s my fav . But if you’re looking for boba this isn’t the place . The black balls have no flat nor did the milk tea , I was disappointed but for a nice refreshing green tea this is a nice spot to go .“

“Great wait staff! Pros- Service was excellent! Many of food items were delicious- puff pastry, pate, panzanella salad, halibut, scallops, crème brûlée, chocolate mousse. Cons- tried to seat us at back table next to restrooms (common experience for older women); we asked for window seating and they accommodated. “Hamachi Crudo-Thai basil, peanut, strawberry”was over-sauced, sauce was heavy, had many jalapeños!; all disguised delicate flavor of fish.“

“Love this gem in West Hartford! Went to lunch here with family, and I had al pastor enchiladas with green sauce - amazing!The atmosphere is lovely with the Frida Kahlo theme. The service was prompt and efficient. A strong recommendation if you are in the Elmwood area.“

“We loved this place! Authentic Chinese food - Stephanie. The Chengdu dumplings and cold rabbit appetizers were fantastic! my son had the crisp pork belly, and I had the sliced smoked duck. Soooooo delicious! Can't wait to bring the hubs here.“

“So we came here today to celebrate my daughters graduation from UConn Storrs. Food was delicious and the service was unbelievable. So kind, attentive and accommodating. Can't wait to return the next time we are in West Hartford! A++++“

“Visit this place a few times a month, as it’s our favorite restaurant for date night. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat pretty much anything, and we both have plenty of options. My absolute favorite is the mushroom taco as well as the glazed pork belly and Baja fish taco! Don’t sleep on the street corn either. Tastes just as good as getting them from a guy making them out of his cooler on the streets of El Paso (I passed through El Paso on our way to Disneyland and this guy had a crowd surrounding him). Plantains are a nice sweet treat. Definitely check out their secret tacos!Dietary restrictions: Many options for strict vegans and gluten allergies.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu!“

“My wife and I had brunch here recently. The interior and atmosphere was amazing complete with cool photos, a bull's head decoration, and great music! The chorizo and ham with cheese was great, and I loved the perfect olive oil pancakes, and the desserts were soooo good, my wife loved the lava cake and I enjoyed the burnt cheesecake! I would definitely rate this place 10/10! If you can't make it to Barcelona, at least try this awesome authentic Spanish dining and bar experience!“

“Little “hole in the wall” type of place. We dined in but they do a ton of takeout because the restaurant is so small. I’m allergic to shellfish and the chef was very careful when making my rolls. We also ordered the vegetable tempura. All of it was delicious! Not a super fancy sushi spot, but highly suggest.Dietary restrictions: The chef was very cognizant of my shellfish allergy, always a worry at a sushi spot!“

“Huge pho selection and really generous portion sizes. Also a lot of other menu options and drinks — durian milkshake! I didn’t order it but was surprised to see that. They also have bubble tea and different types of spring rolls — we got pork and shrimp, delicious. Very quick and attentive service and clean dining area. Went at kind of a weird time on a Saturday afternoon and there were plenty of customers.Vegetarian options: There’s an entire vegetarian section on the menu.“

“I'm officially a big fan of Artisan and Chef Michael. Chef Michael catered a film we filmed in West Hartford and did a great job, so I thought it would be nice to take my wife to Artisan for our anniversary. We were not disappointed. The service and presentation was amazing and the specials were delicious. We will definitely return. Artisan has just made my top 5 list for fine dining in CT. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“

“We loved this place! Authentic Chinese food - Stephanie. The Chengdu dumplings and cold rabbit appetizers were fantastic! my son had the crisp pork belly, and I had the sliced smoked duck. Soooooo delicious! Can't wait to bring the hubs here.“

“This is easily the best pizza and bar in town. The pizza is an absolute standout--crispy thin crust and consistently delicious. The beer selection is solid and the staff is always so friendly. We are so happy they do trivia now on Tuesday nights!Definitely worth adding New Park to a must visit.“

“Not your typical take out! They offer gluten free items and flexibility for allergies. We drive over 45 mins just to come here. I've never had an issue, and I am pretty sensitive today gluten. Always a family hit. Not a lot of seating. It's more like your typical take out place. We always dine in because we drive so far .Dietary restrictions: They seem to get it! We have gluten, dairy and pepper allergies/intolerances. Gluten free items are marked, but you can also request items to be gluten free too. (Not everything, but a good percent of the menu). They swapped out bell peppers for me without a problem. Staff was friendly. I would suggest that if you get something that was automatically gluten free, just remind them you have an allergy, just to be careful.Parking: Parking is right in front. It's a tiny strip mall a ways away from the center of West hartford. I've never had a hard time parking, but it does seem limited.Kid-friendliness: Staff have always been super amazing with my kids. Alternative food options for picky eaters too. I would just warn there's a magnet on the soda fridge that says a cuss word, Incase you are sensitive to that.Wheelchair accessibility: Probably not the easiest, but not impossible. I wouldn't recommend eating in, as all tables seem higher than bar height“

“Haven’t been here in a while and my friend was taking me for lunch for my birthday. First and foremost our waitress Dawn was one of the most amazing waitress I ever had. She was so attentive and great sense of humor. Got our orders right out to us and the food was fantastic! The prices reasonable and I will be going back A+“

“Even if the food wasn't good, the service is a delight. A young girl seated us and waiting on us and was there for our every need. A lady, presumably the owner or someone as responsible, took our order and was able to make suggestions according to what we knew we liked. She even upsold me a dessert we didn't know we wanted and needed.The food was exactly what we wanted - healthful and flavorful and executed really well. The falafel was the most moist I had ever had and I hate to use the word fresh because of how it gets thrown around ..but everything was fresh and made in house.We're not from Connecticut, but we'll go out of our way to come back if we're coming down the road.“

“We had great service for a Friday night dinner. All of our entrees were fantastic which included huge salad and mac-n-cheese portions. My trio of sliders were great, too. I ordered the paloma and got it smoked which was a nice touch. I'm excited to return.“

“The staff/owners were super nice and friendly. Very interesting style of pizza. At first it looks like a traditional pan style, but the crunch is real, you could hear me bite into it a block away. Low hydration. Light sauce. Unfortunately the cheese is not very good quality - congealed quickly. Overall definitely worth a stop. This one will have you a bit confused but in a good way!“

“Sat at the bar and shared a couple of beers. Our bartender was very attentive, and checked up on us frequently. The bar area was clean and so was the bathroom. We came at an off time so it wasn’t busy. It was nice that day, they had the garage doors open with some tables sitting in that entry way. A bit too chilly for me, but some people were taking advantage of the fresh air. We didn’t have any food.“

“Love, Love this place. I am driving home from an RV vacation in FL and saw the billboard signs on I84. Decided I was going to find the place. So glad I did. Great pizza and fantastic staff. All were actually working and appeared to enjoy their job.“

“We came to celebrate our son becoming a state trooper. What a wonderful dinner we had. First and foremost our dinner service and server was wonderful. (Wish I remembered his name) first time and we will be back. Love everything about the place. ❤️❤️❤️thank you so.“

“My family went here for Hibachi (with the chef preparing food at the Hibachi table) and had a very good experience. The food was good and drinks were reasonably priced for West Hartford and strong. The chef was entertaining and put on a good show. The environment was nice but also kid friendly. There is a 20% service fee for dining in the Hibachi showroom as other reviewers have noted, however there is a sign stating that at the entrance and the server was up front about it as well, so it wasn't a surprise and does make sense given the extra service as part of the experience.I'll definitely come back in the near future!“

“I've been coming here for a while now. They do a good Chinese food/ fast food takeout. For whatever reason, many Chinese take-out places give me indigestion and I've been here at least 15 times and have yet to experience any of that. Orange chicken is my go-to dish. It cost $16, comes with a pint of rice and a fortune cookie. They're open on Xmas too. 4 stars. Keep up the good work.“

“Wonderful staff! Super friendly and fast service. We ordered the vegetarian appetizer platter and chicken madras. Both were amazing! We ordered the madras at medium and it definitely has spice to it even at that level. We will definitely be back!“

“The food is always delicious no matter what we order! The service is friendly and responsive; fast but you never feel rushed. Their food is fresh, rice is fluffy, vegetable are my favorite. When we ordered a shrimp dish, there were so many shrimp it made splitting the dish with everyone very easy. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is a pleasure going there.“

“From the yum yum sauce to the ginger dressing this place will be sure to please . Beautiful atmosphere and decorations . Located in the plaza with marshals . Must’ve and the lunch special is always a hit . 2 rolls for 12.75$ with a salad can’t beat that !!! Thank me later“

“Overall, it was a solid dinner out. Started with a Caesar salad which was pretty standard. Had full anchovies on top, so if that's something that creeps you out, be sure to ask for it without. Dinner was good-- I thought the seafood pasta could have used a little more flavor but it was still really good. Good portion size. The desserts are what really impressed me. We split two different desserts-- coconut creme brûlée and profiteroles. Those were both so good!! I'm not a big wine person but they only had one Riesling, which I thought was a little sparse since it is a wine bar. The one they had was perfect though! So maybe they only need one... I would go back to eat here.... It was perfectly lovely for a night out.“

“5 stars across-the-boardWait time - they told 20 minutes on a packed night, it was less than 15 minutes.Service - Melissa S. Was flawless, very caring while never smoothering us. Because of her alone, we're going to come back every 2 weeks. ( Just to keep it special )Cocktails - very intelligently crafted, they came out with the pie. normally I would deduct points for that, but when you looked at the finished product... Understandable.My fiance, ordered the pink drinkMyself, I ordered the spicy paloma.The pie - we order the trifling truffle pie, so just to give prospective. It's Neapolitan pizza, which translates to not very big...But the flavor this little guy was packing??? Could've knocked me out.Crust - little crunch, not dry and burnt, was still a little chewy.Sauce / cheese / toppings - perfect amount, incredible flavor ( HEY tell the chef I'm coming back there to kiss him )Third picture - so my Queen was full and holding out for dessert ?But I was still hungry, so I got the prosciutto ricotta toast.That toast... That toast!!! Was completely awesome, I told my fiance that I want one of these everytime I have sex ?I love this app I wanted as meal ❤❤❤ rockstar energyDessert - soooo the cannoli was out of this world perfect. The shell was super fresh, it didn't fall apart as soon as I bit into it.The filling ? you could have laced it with poison right in front of me, I would have licked my fingers Clean lol.It was so good I asked for a second order of them.Price - well worth it, we are both satisfied, and happy. You can check out the receipt for yourself if you don't believe me.We gave Melissa $100 and told her to keep the change.This place is awesome, it's truly amazing what they have managed to accomplish here.Thank you savoy team we'll be back soon enough!!!“

“First time going here and I ate very well! We were seated immediately and our server was kind. My friend and I enjoyed all of our sushi rolls! The gyoza was AMAZING, perfectly cooked. The dining area was clean with the perfect amount of lighting. Can't wait to go back! But, entrance area can use a remodel as it looks a little unkempt. I do wish parking was better here as it's on a main road with a very small lot.“

“For lunch a few days ago, I stopped by Max Burger. Max Burger is a popular burger joint in West Hartford, CT, and Longmeadow, MA. Max Burger is part of the Max group of restaurants like Max Fish and Max Downtown. I went to the West Hartford location. They offer freshly made burgers, sandwiches, and more! What I decided to order was the buffalo chicken mac and cheese, and I loved it! The chicken was mildly spicy and crispy. Although there was a wee bit too much blue cheese for my taste, it did help to tone down the heat. I would strongly advise going to a Max Burger if you're ever around the area.“

“Recent visited the blue elephant trail for a work dinner, accommodations were suitable for a group. Dining setting was a little bleak, atmosphere was somewhat relaxing but missed that specific ambiance to really make the experience pop. Menu was filled with a variety of Thai foods which was very satisfying to see, select dishes were very flavorful and as described. Foods appearance was exquisitely presented very saporous at that. The server was very polite, attentive and at times seemed a little nervous but overall friendly experience.Would recommend different setting style for a group/party for dine in experience. In conclusion the experience was very good would recommend for a good Thai food selection.“

“I've been coming to this place since I was 5, I bring my family there now still such amazing service. The food amazing everything is just amazingParking: Ample amount of parking.... this location is in a plaza with tons of parking, very well lit if it's a darker day“

“Absolutely positively LOVE this place. We got sat almost immediately, drinks came fast and with no confusion and before we knew it the food was here too ! Ontop of that the food is amazing and the staff was very friendly and still to the point Riley, Carlena and Lauren were amazing ! Give them raises. $$$“

“This is an old timey pizza and grinder joint. Mostly takeout with a few rudimentary tables if you want to sit down and eat there. The food is good. Fresh ingredients, cooked to order. The owner/chef is always ready to please and he provides good service to his mostly regular customers. Prices are very reasonable.“

“Chopt Salad is one of the best in the area! You are able to choose from a variety of fresh ingredients and was able to choose many different toppings resulting in a delightful meal. The general manager, well-versed in hospitality, provided helpful insights into salad choices, recommending the fantastic spicy jalapeño goddess salad. The attentive staff further elevates the Chopt experience, and I'll definitely be sharing my experiences to my peers!“

“One of the best Po boy, we ever had, the shrimp and lobster tail boil the spice was on point. Our only complaint was the salad, it was supposed to be Caesar salad and was not, iceberg lettuce Mexican blend cheese and tomato definitely not Caesar salad. The dressing was good.“
