50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Gainesville

“The vegan bbq pork was beyond expectations delicious. Also, great people and atmosphere.“

“This was the first time my hudlsband and I ever had PF Chang's. They were having a large birthday party and a silent auction. It was very loud because of the two large parties. My husband ate the Pepper Steak and loved it. I tried the California roll. He enjoyed his dinner, mine was OK. We both however LOVED the soups. He had a bowl of egg drop and I enjoyed the best wonton soup I have ever had. We even ordered a bowl of the wonton to enjoy at home. I know when I go again all I need is the delicious won't ton soup.“

“poutine fries were AMAZING! My kid devoured her chicken tender basket. I did get a bite though and the tenders were delicious“

“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!“

“This is the best pizza in Gainesville! Last time I got their hot honey pizza with pepperoni and green peppers, it was awesome! We also spoke to the manager for a while as he was doing some maintenance work next to our table, he was super kind to us. If you only have one night in Gainesville, you can't go wrong here!“

“Braised Yum offered to bring food to our plant nursery, Grow Hub, for our staff and board members. The food they served was delicious and nutritious! We had rice that had various vegetables in it and tofu, and paneer with a spicy or mild option. Some of our team members loved the heat of the spicy option and also enjoyed the pepper that was offered on the side. They also provided a delicious mango lassi and a strawberry rose lassi! Not only was the food great, but Braised Yum also shared information about spices and how food is medicine. Some history of the food was also shared, which we found interesting. It was a pleasure having them at Grow Hub. They're very friendly and personable! We highly recommend giving Braised Yum's flavorful food a try!💚“

“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!“

“Delicious healthy option! We loved it for lunch so much that we ordered it again for dinner!“

“Love it!!“

“Stopped here on recommendation from someone local. We were greeted immediately by GABRIEL. He was patient with us since we were first timers. I am not a Cuban food expert so I asked a few questions he answered politely without making me feel dumb.

We ordered the papa rellena (potato ball stuffed with ground beef) and a ropa veja empanada. (Crispy pastry stuffed with seasoned shredded beef) as appetizers. Both were delicious delicious.

For mains he got the Ybor Cuban sandwich which was Ham, Roasted Pork, Salami, Swiss Cheese, Mustard, Pickles, Ybor Cuban Bread. He got it minus the mustard. I of course had to sample it as well and it was very nice soft bread, juicy meat and the flavor all together was amazing!

I ordered the Lechon bowl. It came with Lechon (roasted pork), yellow rice black beans and sweet plantains with an egg on top (for $1 extra). Gabriel also asked if we wanted sauces, he named them off I asked to sample them all. One was the mojo sauce I know it was a citrus and very garlic forward sauce. I would have liked less garlic and more citrus. One was an almost sour cream(possibly) cilantro green sauce and one was a pink sauce don’t know what was in it but it was good!

When we come up from Jacksonville again we will definitely visit again! Possibly try other things as well!

Kid-friendliness: They have kids menu options and it would be a place kids would be welcome.“

“Deep-dish gluten-free pizza???!!! Are you kidding me? My wife has celiac so we rarely get to enjoy good restaurant pizza. Squarehouse is a game changer. Thank you Squarehouse for the delicious gluten free options!

“As a vegetarian, I was surprised at how delicious the food was in this restaurant. I recommend this restaurant. Service was good. Everybody was pleasant. Food was delicious.“

“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!“

“Fabulous!!! It was my first time there. My daughter and I went to check it out since she recently just moved there. Absolutely LOVE the front patio. Even with the traffic on Archer, it was a great atmosphere. Our waiter was fantastic. So pleasant and nice. The people making the food were great as well. I paid cash and noticed there was no tip jar. Can you please put one, they truly do deserve it for the service and speed they prepare everything. Great job to all of them!!!!“

“Amazing food!!!! fresh ingredients and I stopped drinking "coffee" but their cold coffee is a blast!! and tasty like an espresso with milk, or any other option you prefer, EVERYTHING TASTES SO DELICIOUS, THANK YOU AND SEE YOU SOON!!!!“

“Wow. Today the food was super delicious! I had the butter chicken and naan , samosas and the mango lassie !! Perfection“

“Suprette is remarkable for the quality of food and interesting wines selection, above and beyond food is their commitment to justice and peace.“

“I placed my order online so it would be ready when I got there. Never been there be this. I got there and it was empty (one person walked in after me). The staff was finishing my order and I decided to eat there since no crowd. I had the Thai chicken salad and a strawberry banana smoothie. The chicken tasted fresh and was still warm. The smoothie was delicious. Also, when I ordered, there was a special 'pick 2' so the total price was not much more than the salad alone.“

“The best food in town! Can’t get enough!“

“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.“

“Best breakfast and lunch. Worth going to. Cheaper than any other diner. Clean“

“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.“

“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!“

“Usually go here after rollerderby bouts (thank u for sponsoring GRR!!!)! Staff was nice and they have lots of good vegan options. Tried the vegan meatloaf which was like a vegan meatloaf burger ??? It was super good! I’ve also heard good reviews for their veggie and impossible burger! Def will be there again especially for their love of the rollerderby team 🩵“

“The food truck in Williston is amazing. 5 stars best Cuban I’ve had!“

“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!!!!“

“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.“
