50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Gainesville

“Out of this world vegan food! If you've been looking for a fierce vegan spot then baby you have to stop by!!!“

“The food and service were good, but every time we go to PF Changs in Gainesville, the portion sizes get smaller and smaller. We get less food for the same price. I understand that food costs are rising, but what we get is noticeably different each time.“

“Finally caught them in Jacksonville, I got the chicken sandwich and fries and it was excellent, can’t wait to try more menu items. Service was fast and friendly.“

“Wonderful Biryani from Gainesville!“

“We are beyond thrilled with the experience Tinker gave us for our wedding! They catered a beautiful buffet for us, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests absolutely loved the food! What made it even more special was the kindness and friendliness of the entire staff. They made us and our guests feel so welcome and taken care of, handling everything with such warmth and professionalism. I want to give a special thank you to Karen who was so accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process. Being able to celebrate right at the restaurant created the perfect atmosphere. We were able to relax in an intimate setting and truly enjoy our guest and wedding. Tinker truly went above and beyond to make our day stress-free and unforgettable. We are so grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend Tinker to anyone looking for incredible food, outstanding service, and a beautiful space for their celebration! Thank you again for everything!“

“The scenery and the food are amazing! Love the staff here.“

“Absolutely amazing service! I came here for the second time and took my friend who had never been for his birthday. All the staff members were incredibly sweet, especially our waitress Jimmy Bynum. He was incredibly social and also very polite. They even brought out cookies and a candle for my friend’s birthday. Even better that we happened to come at the same time as Coach Spurrier for dinner. Overall great staff, amazing food, and great environment.“

“We had a great dinner tonight and our server, Drew, was very friendly. She took the time to chat and talk about the food. 5/5!“

“Absolutely delicious! My husband and I had an amazing experience — the service was quick, friendly, and efficient, and the food came out fresh and full of flavor.

“Me and a buddy from work went for lunch and man this place was cool! You walk in it’s got that old school vibe, you’ll see in my pictures! Especially for me being middle-aged I love looking around at all the stuff. Now onto the food! Now I love me some pizza! I’m from New York, but I love to try everything because a lot of these places make all different kinds of pizza and I just love it! My Buddy had a curry chicken pizza and he loved it. Never heard of it before lol. I had bacon and ham and it was really good! I took a bunch of pictures of the pizza and the restaurant so check it out and definitely go try this place because I’ll definitely be back!“

“Love the GF cauliflower crust and the ability to build my own pizza and salad. Food is always delicious and the staff are very cautious on protection against contamination. Thank you, we really appreciate that! Sorry no photo, I devoured the pizza lol.“

“Amazing gyros! (+Vegan options!)“

“Happening place, very busy, staff was great and cordial, made some good recommendations. Very well prepared dishes, my daughters and I enjoyed the food very much. What could have been better? The air conditioning was running at full capacity and it wasn’t enough fresh air, specially at our table close to the open kitchen. It’s early August so it’s understandable. I’m coming back again later this fall!“

“Great selection of delicious ice pops. Lots of fun hearing the truck come around the neighborhood too. Little man was concentrating too hard on the flavor to smile.“

“Decided to try Gators Den for dinner and was pleasantly surprised at how great it was!! Had the burger, cooked perfectly. Also had the wings and they were amazing! Our waitress (Ashlynn) was equally amazing! Very attentive and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back and recommend!“

“I just want to say every time I come here and Roxie is here she is really good at what she does!!!! She always has a great attitude and she is so nice and attentive. There has been plenty of times where I come either alone or with friends and Roxie is alone taking care of everyone, I don't know if someone says this enough but you are doing great!!! Keep having that beautiful smile and great attitude!“

“East End Eatery is my favorite breakfast place in Gainesville! The best breakfast burrito in town! Always fresh veggies, gouda cheese grits that always satisfy, even a Florida native like me. Treat yourself to the best waffle in town. Crisp outside with light fluffy center. Not heavy at all. Real shrimp and grits worth the wait for cooked to order meal. The service is always friendly with a smile. The owner works all areas. She loves to meet customers. Hope you enjoy the experience as much as I do.“

“I have been coming here since JII opened a few years ago. My son has been in clinical trials at the University of Florida for the last seven years. As a tradition, after his clinical visits I let him pick any special desert food establishment. JII continues to be his choice. There are always smiles, joy, and wonderful memories every visit.“

“Hands down the best Asian in Gainesville and I have lived here 12 years. I would actually put it up against any Asian place in New York. Not speedy, because everything is fresh-made, right down to the wontons in the wonton soup. Dishes are very nicely spiced rather than slathered in sauce. Ingredients are high quality, from the bok choi to the beef. Please, PLEASE stay in business.“

“Michael and his team are fantastic. The food is always quick and fresh! I enjoy stopping by for breakfast and lunch.“

“The food was absolutely fantastic.“

“The Mint was delightful... The three restaurant people that were there today were each so nice. I particularly go for Indian food on Sundays, and they even had a little conversation with me. I'm so glad that this restaurant is here in Gainesville!!! The prices at the Mint are very reasonable, whereas most prices everywhere have shot up sky high. I ordered the dosa masala, and the sambar soup and the coconut chutney were delicious. The sambar even had a hint of cinnamon, just a hint, and it could not have been better. I ordered the garlic naan and the bread is not a large size portion but it is plenty when you are paying $2 and change. I think that the restaurant works largely by the several delivery services. There are 3 big long tables there for families and single tables also. The dining area is not very big at all but it is sufficient for good food and good people serving you. Amy.“

“Heard so many good things about this place and finally getting to go was well worth it! The food is amazing. If you are expecting subway, no no no. These Sammies are packed and so well worth it. They even asked if I wanted half of my foot long wrapped up, I get why now. I finished it, but wow. Super think sandwich and great tasting!!! Go a little further down to the bar and get some beer. Great selection for sure and everything from the Sammies to the beer is inexpensive. Cash only to give you heads up but there is an ATM inside. So worth it!!!!“

“Great Food and music! Saturday night from 6-9 is the highlight of the week!“

“Food is always delicious 😋. The staffs are very friendly. The restaurant and restroom are clean. We always enjoy our meals here and choose to celebrate 🎊 our special occasions here! Thanks 🙏 so much for your good 👍 food and enjoyable atmosphere!“
