50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Jacksonville

“These guys epitomize what it means to be a good neighbor. Tonight the power went out in my corner. I called it into JEA and trampled out to find some AC, a place to charge up my Phone and dinner. Between the electric and some work brouhaha I wanted no part of, I was flustered in ordering and blurted out my current predicament. The counter guy brought me a complimentary water, graciously let me use a power outlet, and let me get myself reset before returning to deal with JEA and what turned out to be a busted transformer. I was rushed or hurried out. There was no side eye of “how long is he going to be here” or even for the meager order I put in to justify my presence. In that moment they took care of my physically (food and water) and psychologically (safe place, charged up phone, etc). I was already a fan of this place before this hiccup in life. Now I’m a grateful patron who love this neighbor BIG time. To these guys it may not have seemed like they did much but in that moment you guys rocked it like all stars. So don’t go to these guys for their AMAZING food (I could have their samosas daily and be so happy). Go and celebrate what a WONDERFUL part of the community they are… forever in your debt for that hour of peace you guys gave.“

“Great place with fantastic people,tasty food, nice selection of beverages & …..the smoothies are the best!!“

“Great food! We loved the shrimp and the burgers. The desserts were amazing. Seriously not a bad thing on their menu. Service was fantastic, Sam was super friendly and was great with making recommendations. Will come back!“

“This was the best atmosphere I have ever had by a restaurant and server. I'm still a young 77 yrs old. I have never had a server better then Haley was Monday night on 23MAR26. Our twin g-daughters turned 18 and wanted a family gathering at P F Changs. It was 11 people and she couldn't do enough for us. I am a 100% disabled veteran on an electric scooter and she arranged tables to make it a perfect evening. I would hire Haley to come serve our holiday meals because this is a tough bunch and they weren't all there. Please recognize Haley and give her a reward and promotion. I have sailed the Seven Seas and have never been served or treated this well. This is from Asia Europe South America & the Middle East. Thank Haley for making our granddaughters 18th birthday one I won't forget. Mike Thagard West Beaches Jacksonville FL.“

“Food is amazing, staff is friendly and food was pretty fast“

“I just moved here from SoFlo and it has been hard finding vegan/ alkaline food on the Northside...so I'm so glad I found this place. Try the loaded squash bowl, you won't regret it!! You can text in your order and it will be ready for you. Everything is made to order seems like ....sooooo delicious!!!“

“This is my grand daughter's favorite place for brunch. Grandma your going to love it! She was right, my first Filipino experience. I can't remember what I had, but I ate it all and sampled her and my Son's entree as well. The food, the atmosphere and the hospitality of Evana will be my go to for my next experience. That garlic choy and spicey vinegar needs to be bottled up and sold. ❤️ me some Purple Roots!!“

“Today marked a memorable occasion, and my husband and I chose to celebrate at our beloved, favorite Masala Mantra Indian Bistro. It's our anniversary! The food and service there never fail to impress. I often find myself declaring Indian cuisine as my top pick among all the international flavors out there! The warmth of Indian hospitality is truly delightful. Our waiter, Akhil, is exceptional—his attentive and meticulous service stands out every time. The restaurant consistently maintains a pristine, fresh, and elegantly appointed atmosphere. Akhil and the manager went above and beyond to make our anniversary unforgettable. They surprised us with a scrumptious slice of mango cheesecake, adorned with a candle, and handed me a lighter to ignite it and mark the occasion! How thoughtful is that? Akhil even offered to capture some photos of us. A heartfelt thank you to the team for making us feel so valued! My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant. I wanted to share a few snapshots here. Miriam & John“

“Tried tonight for first time..so good!! We had the hummus/pitas then chicken kabob platter with saffron rice & salad, beef tangine with saffron rice. Everything on point, friendly staff and excellent chefs cooking the food!! A definite go to. A++“

“The blueberry bread pudding with goat cheese is delish!!!!! Full Stop! But, the shrimp and grits were perfect too! Shrimp cooked just right and the roux was expertly seasoned. Some of the best food I’ve had in a while! 🤌🏼 Oh, did I mention the friendly and prompt waitstaff? Get there! You won’t be disappointed. 😊“

“Amazing staff, wonderful ambiance, the most delicious espresso martinis and food! My family and I evacuated to Jacksonville from hurricane Milton and the staff made my night. I went there a ball of nerves and left feeling grateful for the amazing experience. Thank you to Jessica and your staff!! ~Christina from Seminole“

“Absolutely awesome food in atmosphere.“

“We love first watch one of our favorite restaurants to go to however, we had a few issues at our last meal and Rebecca Fuller. The Manager was absolutely wonderful and very accommodating and fixed all of our issues and made it yet another wonderful experience at first watch thank you, Rebecca.“

“Best ramen in Jax!!! My boyfriend and I love coming here, we have to stop ourselves from coming here every weekend lol. I usually get the miso ramen or the tonkutsu and sub the pork with the fried chicken katsu 10000/10. The service here is phenomenal, everyone is so kind and attentive.“

“Amazing food and amazing people! Thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“Food was delicious! I got the pad Thai and bf got the curry duck. YUM!“

“Wonderful restaurant with a varied and unique menu. Their dishes are cooked to perfection and the service is impeccable!“

“Very fun pizza joint. Menu is stacked with all sorts of subs and entrees. We sat at the bar (fun) and tried the Chicago Deep Dish. Not fair, we're both from Chicago but they could definitely sell this pizza in Chicago. Wait staff was great and the vibe was eclectic.“

“So let me tell you. I love their sushi. Good food. Great price. Always good service. Now a beef. I used to eat there twice a month. They give you fried Oreo for desert. Complements of the house. But when I order pick up guess what. They wanted to charge $6 for something they give me free. Used to be a regular and hate to even say something negative but that’s just not right.“

“The food is fresh!! Every thing we've had was great. The Queen Arepa and Queen salad --AMAZING. Gyro Platter-- huge and the fries were just wonderful as was everything. TRY IT“

“Hovan is an instant yes whenever someone in the office mentions it - I absolutely adore them. The food is always delicious and delightful, and while so filling I want a nap afterward, that’s a bonus! My particular favorite fact is that you can get the gyro with tahini instead of tzatziki - I’m sadly no longer able to eat tzatziki, and I thought that meant no more gyros, but the tahini is an inspired and amazing replacement. Also, their pita is spectacular. We always order extra 💚“

“The waitstaff is outstanding! They know their food, wine, and how to have a conversation. I will be back.“

“1st time visitor LIFETIME fan!!! The food was absolutely AMAZING! Had the brisket, ribs, brussel sprouts and poppers. Hands down best ever! Put Memphis BBQ to shame and that’s saying something. The sauces were delicious. Service impeccable and the vibe was perfect. Servings were abundant and The young man at the counter helping us was A+++. This is MUST visit on my next trip to JAX. Make sure to order a Caparito.“

“We visited River & Post last night for the first time for a birthday dinner after hearing so many good things, and I can honestly say the praise was very well deserved. Everything from the quality and timeliness of our meals to the friendly, informative and attentive servers were exceptional, which sadly is not a common trait in upscale restaurants. I had the Broiled Ocean Platter which consisted of broiled mahi, three sea scallops and four large shrimp served in a citrus herb beurre blanc sauce, whipped potatoes and beautiful crisp tender veggies. All of my entre ingredients were cooked perfectly, the buttery lemon sauce was such a nice compliment to this dish and let all the distinct flavors of each seafood component shine. Too often sauces can be overpowering and used to moisten overcooked and flavorless seafood. I’m glad I opted out of a predinner salad or appetizer as this entre is very substantial and I wanted to save some room for dessert. My husband also very much enjoyed his choice of the Seared Filet Mignon served a mustard demi-glace, confit potatoes and sauteed broccolini. The steak was perfectly prepared to his medium rare request and he raved about how flavorful it was. Both of our meals arrived hot, beautifully plated, and we devoured them completely. Then the decision came for dessert. Since we were sharing, we opted for the wonderfully decadent Chocolate Mousse Torte. This torte could easily be called “Death by Chocolate” due to its intense deep chocolate flavor which had a more silken fudge like consistency than a typical fluffy mousse, but still seemed surprisingly light as the chocolate just melted in our mouths. The torte was served with a chocolate drizzle, freshly whipped cream and plump blackberries. What a wonderful finish to this birthday dinner! Thank you, R&P, for this great dining experience. We’ll definitely be back, and we won’t be waiting for the next birthday to do so.“

“Food is amazing, staff is friendly and food was pretty fast“

“This restaurant serves the freshest and tastiest Thai food I have had anywhere in the US. We will be back!“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“This place was an accidental find and I can't wait to go back. We're not gluten free but my toddler picked a gluten free raspberry chocolate cupcake and raved the whole ride home about how good it was. She dripped her frosting and still ate the rest of the cake part without it. I had a raspberry jasmine I want to say twist. My GOSH! I've eaten a lot of donuts in my life. NONE were better than this. It was a prefect crispy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside delicious bite. The frosting so perfectly sweetened without over doing it. It was sooo good. I will be back just for the donut“

“STEVEN! We loved having Steven as our server today. He was so fun to interact with and as always the food hits every single time, it's my 6 year old daughter's favorite restaurant and a must for anyone who comes to visit us from out of town.“

“One year ago we lost a very dear friend, co-worker, family member and loved one! We went to seasons 52 to celebrate his life and brought with us (his ashes). The staff at seasons 52 town center Jacksonville Florida was amazing and accepted the situation as if he was there! From the bar tender Michael who served him a drink to the receptionist who Renee who made us fell very welcome and treated our friend with respect and dignity to our waiter Blake who also went the extra mile to make our experience exceptional! We would like to recognize these people for helping us make our friends night out so very special we will be back every year because of them and the service, not to mention the food was amazing! Thank you!“

“We come to Jacksonville often, but ate here for the first time last night. The staff is so pleasant and helpful. The food was excellent!! The portions were also great. I will be back next trip.“

“We really enjoyed our meal last night! We started with tuna poke served with wonton chips. It was so fresh and the chips were crisp. My husband got the grouper special and ate it all. I got the scallops. They were seared perfectly, the grits were creamy, and I'd love the collards recipe lol. Thanks for a great meal“

“Great for brunch, lunch or dinner!“

“Vale catered a beautiful and healthy lunch for the teachers and staff of Global Leadership Academy.

“Delicious food! I love it!“

“Delicious food, can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!“

“Our experience at Terra Gaucha has always felt like being with family. Over the years, we’ve celebrated so many special moments here — birthdays, anniversaries, and major milestones — and every visit has carried the same warmth and familiarity. The food is always on point. The flavor, the craft, and the attention to detail are consistently perfection. After moving out of state, we hadn’t visited in about four years. Now that we’re back, we were blown away by the thoughtful additions to the menu and the elevated dining experience. Everything was outstanding, but the highlight of our night was seeing our favorite Gaucho, João. We’ve watched the legacy and “empire” he and his partners have built over the years, and returning felt like reconnecting with an old friend. The kindness and professionalism of the entire team are truly unmatched. From the welcoming staff at the door, to the attentive servers on the floor, to the incredible team behind the scenes — Terra Gaucha continues to set the standard for Brazilian Churrasco. It’s not just food here. It’s tradition. It’s culture. It’s life. Thank you to João and the entire Terra Gaucha family for always making our moments memorable. Wishing you blessings as you continue to expand and bring Brazilian culture across the states. As we settle back into Jacksonville, tonight felt like being welcomed back home. Saúde!“

“Service was great! The food was amazing and delicious. Presentation of the food off the chain. Drinks were a little pricey. But overall a great experience.“

“So delicious! Parent Trap is the best flavor and ice cream I’ve ever had. I wish I could have it shipped. I highly recommend trying it.“
