50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Destin

“We had such a fun time at Fudpucker’s! My son absolutely loved the gator interactions—it was definitely the highlight of our visit. Everything was exciting and super engaging for kids. The food was great too—everything we ordered was delicious and made the whole experience even better. Emily, the photographer, was amazing! She was so kind, knew exactly what she was doing, and worked quickly while still capturing great moments. We really appreciated how smooth and easy she made everything. Overall, such a memorable and family-friendly place. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great Italy like experience. Food is served hot and taste amazing. There is a large selection of food with a kids menu that has real food! Service is good and very family friendly.“

“Don’t let the plain exterior fool you, this place is dope. Julianne greeted us with a smile and was an excellent host/server. They have Gluten free garlic cheesy bread as well as gluten free pizza crust that is fantastic. Had a couple of the specialty pizzas and am in heaven. Run, don’t walk to Merlins!“

“Great dining experience! Food was amazing and our server Tiffanee was top notch! She was knowledgeable and made great recommendations!“

“Tried a new place for breakfast this morning. Atmosphere was excellent. Not noisy at all. There are options for seating - outside, inside and a counter area. Very clean! Staff is very friendly and very polite. The kitchen was on point - food came out very quick and was delicious. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!!“

“Best Indian food in Destin!“

“My family and I had the best dinner. Appetizers, entrees and dessert were all absolutely amazing. Our server was on top of it and kept us very happy. 10/10 experience!“

“Loved everything about this quaint Italian cafe. Coffee, sandwiches, crepes and frittatas are absolutely delicious. Also loved getting to know Marco, who owns the Cafe. 10/10“

“Great food and portions!!! With all the great selections, can’t understand that they serve frozen potatoes for breakfast. 🤷‍♂️😔 Any kind of American potatoes (leftover baked diced up… ) would be a Great addition!!!“

“Everything except dessert was phenomenal. The ribeye was stunning - among the best I’ve had in my life. Skip dessert (except coconut cream pie, if you love cream pies). Our table and the table next to us got 4 desserts (and they got it as a birthday treat), but we all thought the desserts were terrible compared to everything else. They even got theirs free because of the birthday but returned it because it was so bad. Our group of 4 came from San Francisco and were so happy with the food here.“

“Fantastic dinner and drinks, the flavors are incredible! Great service all with a beautiful view! Bonus was a dolphin sighting. New fan favorite. Husband already requested for birthday dinner next year.“

“Our waitress Amanda was exceptional. She took great care to see that we received the best service. They increased her number of tables and she didn't realize it. I also love Hawaiian shirts and most of the servers wore them. They had them for sale to guests and I have one now.“

“We’ve been here several times during the evening hours. But our first time experience at lunch was a bit disappointing. My food came out but my wife’s calzone came much later. Our waiter was hardly checking on us for refills and never apologized or even tell us the food would come out late. (Plus no bread or their special oil.) I know it was lunch, but my highlight was the bread. I don’t know if we will come for lunch for a while, but we will give it a chance for evenings. I even wrote a note on the receipt and left my phone#. But as yet have I received a call.“

“A hidden gem in Destin! A tiny spot with parking in the back. The atmosphere is quaint with maybe 7 tables inside and 4 tables outside. I’d imagine during peak season you’d need a reservation. Out bottle beer and champagne split was not ice cold, but that’s the only thing I’d complain about. I had the gyro platter, the meat was perfectly seasoned and served over a bed of rice. The salad was served on the same platter with a nice balsamic type dressing and plenty of feta cheese crumbles. My husband ordered the Swedish meatballs served on garlic mashed potatoes and the salad on the same platter. He did say some of meatballs were a touch overcooked but over all enjoyed the meal. We will definitely go back to try other dishes.“

“We stayed in Destin for a week and stumbled upon this place. It’s a little rough from the outside - looks like it’s in a mobile home trailer - but don’t let that fool you. The food and service were both excellent. My daughter insisted we come back and eat at Thai Smile our last night in town. We are vegetarians and they were very polite, informative and accommodating, and remembered us when we came back. Highly recommend.“

“The owners and staff are amazing, and the food is absolutely delicious! Best burgers in the area in my opinion. Highly recommend eating there.“

“Not bad pizza overall. Unfortunately they force you to get three toppings, or if you want less you still pay for three…? Most bizarre was the fact that they actually consider the mozzarella or “other cheese” as one of the three toppings??? That’s not NY, might be central FLA, which is fine. As the review started, not bad pizza but floppy especially if you order more than a topping. “Three toppings” intention actually means in ADDITION to the cheese. 12” for $22 is crazy & the gimmick of an 18” for $27 clarifies the gimmick. Order the pizza to be cooked “well done” & hopefully that should help with floppiness without burning. Enough of the pizza dissection. The small bar portion is cozy & half price HH is great! Will be back for HH, not certain for grub.“

“This place is amazing ! I tried the White Cranberry Sangria! Amazing ! We also did 2 flights with multiple beers! All great! The pretzel amazing as well! If you are ever in Destin a must do! Not easy located but worth searching for!!! You will not be disappointed!“

“The Back Porch did not disappoint one bit. We loved the atmosphere. We were seated out on the back porch right in front of the gulf and had a wonderful breeze blowing the whole time, which was great since we were visiting Florida in August. We got seafood and steak. The steak was amazing and tender. The grouper, crab bites and twice baked potatoes were delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“My husband took me to the melting pot in Destin for our anniversary. Our server, Grant, was the BEST!! If you go to the melting pot, make sure that you ask for this young man. He is very polite, patient and accommodating.“

“Amazing food and amazing service. We have been in Destin for 5 days. This is the only restaurant that we didn't all get sick at. But that's not why we loved it. There was a wide variety of options on the menu for both carnivores and vegetarians. Food was better than we could have imagined. Servers were very friendly and attentive.“

“Are food was absolutely incredible drinks were delicious I love that it is dog friendly as we sat outside on the Terrace with our dog in a stroller.

“WOW. I am blown away. I used to be a regular before the remodel and when the old management owned the store, simply because I love sushi, and let me tell you…it was never a pleasant experience…between the workers, attitudes, waits, etc. Today was my first time back after the remodel and to my surprise, with new management. The staff was EXCEPTIONAL. Haley, my waitress, had the bubbliest personality and was SO happy to be there. The sushi chefs were phenomenal, friendly, and good at what they do. Tracey, the new manager of the location, took the time to speak with me and was extremely personable and kind. A complete 180 of the service I used to get. I will definitely be back, and 1000000% recommend. If you have ever had a bad experience in the past, for sure go back with the new management. You are in for a treat. Thanks Rock N Roll Sushi Destin!“

“First time at a Ruth Chris’ and it won’t be the last. Best steak I’ve ever had! I love the hot plate that keeps the steak warm as you eat it. We celebrate my son’s birthday and they had our table ready with birthday confetti and gave him complimentary cheesecake with a candle. Was a great dinner!“

“We love the FOOD here 😋 service is top notch!“

“This is a must go to place to eat!“

“I’ve honestly been thinking about my last visit to La Paz for days! Guacamole and top shelf margarita was delicious! My husband had steak fajitas and loved them. I had the surf and turf (snapper taco and bacon wrapped tamarind shrimp) it was awesome! Both the black beans and the refried beans tasted rich and homemade. I look forward to trying many things on the menu our next visit.“

“We just got back from a week stay down by Crystal Beach. We were within walking distance and visited Camille‘s several times, both the daytime Café and nighttime restaurant. What a great find. The sushi was amazing, all the drinks were delicious. We loved chatting with Holly the bartender. She was wonderful. This is definitely a must try if you were in the area.“

“Our first time there! Food was delicious, the Gumbo was the best we have ever had. Our server Silvia was very sweet and provided excellent service. The only detraction was a server from the bar area walked thru the dining area multiple times carrying on a loud almost yelling conversation with someone who was still in the bar area. For a quiet afternoon with only 7 other diners this was annoying and totally not necessary. But regardless, we will return.“

“Beautiful restaurant and wonderful service from hostess to our server, Candace.“

“Been coming to Destin for 4 years and just discovered The Boathouse Oyster Bar! Woah if you haven’t been here you need to stop in check the place out Make sure you Tip Paulie and Randy a couple good fellas working their tails off. I’ll be back in June! To management/owners make sure you take good care of your staff they are all good people! Until next time, Keep it on the dock!!“

“it was the perfect day to enjoy a wonderful meal at Dewey Destin Harborside. the service was amazing, the price was great, the food was excellent. Everything that an AARP person would ever want. thank you for making our delightful day even better.“

“My wife and I had dinner there, Monday evening. She had the shrimp and grits, and I ordered the BBQ ribs. We also ordered fried calamari. Everything was excellent. The ribs came with a side of baked beans, and they were as good as any I’ve ever had. Our server was wonderful…very attentive. She couldn’t have done a better job.“

“We had a huge group there and took over the entire restaurant. The food and service was amazing. The meatballs were out of this world good !!“

“The food here is honestly incredible!!!! It's authentic and we got the chicken quesadillas and the fish tacos..... So fresh and authentic. Don't let the people who say anything bad about it being in a gas station fool you!!!!! Hey, it's low overhead so they can put money in the food! I asked for the extra which was peppers and onions, they went and got them fresh and walked back to cut them!“

“Whenever I think of the sweet uncle and auntie who own this restaurant, I can’t help but feel grateful. I first visited this place when I was a J1 student in Destin back in 2019, and it became my go-to whenever I missed Thai food or Thai people. My first dish was pork basil — absolutely delicious! 💗 The customer service was truly memorable. I truly miss them and wish them good health always. If I ever return to Destin, I’ll definitely come back to support this lovely place. 🙏✨“
