50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Gainesville

“Mia was the best server, understood exactly what we wanted. Fast and efficient service and she was very friendly and helped guide us with some of the best picks on the menu. Thank you MIA🤍“

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

“absolutely perfect! the pizza, the salad, the vibe.. 100% recommend“

“PF Changs is our go to restaurant. This particular location is very welcoming, the food and staff are on point. The one thing that stands out the most was the service. I’m not a review writer but having Ambi as our server warranted me to do so. I don’t want to overstate it but Ambi did something most peeps don’t do his age. He was articulate, attentive and made eye contact when we spoke. Our society is losing what he brought”literally” to our table and that was presence. He actually cared about what he was doing and it showed. Thanks for that.“

“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!“

“great food, great service at very reasonable prices. a must go to when entertaining out of town guests or family.“

“Always happy to visit and eat a yummy sandwich!!“

“The bartenders were great. The beers were excellent good atmosphere. Great time friendly people tucked away. You have to really kind of look for it in a little strip mall. But I do that because I know that like taking those places and hidein 'em, once you find it excellent, I recommend it“

“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!“

“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!“

“Nothing but fun….and the food was great.“

“Great place to stop by for any meal. We came for breakfast early while traveling they didn't disappoint. You seat yourself and the waitress comes to the table, service is quick and food is delicious. Reasonable prices, delicious cafe con leche. There's also bakery treats. They can get busy but a must stop if you're in the area. Highly recommend.“

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

“Had the largest bowl, amazing variety, so many excellent flavors“

“What a great diner! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the coffee just kept coming. My friends and I have found our new breakfast spot!“

“Great pizza. Very reasonably priced and some unique flavors. Definitely going back!“

“I ordered a pepperoni pizza and received a cheese. The delivery driver just left the pizza on the porch. No knocking or calling. I didn’t know it was out there. It was cold by the time I realized it was there. I get pizza from here all the time and it’s normally amazing. this was the worst“

“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!“

“I love Italian food—especially mom-and-pop restaurants. My mom and I tried Pomodoro Café for the first time, and wow… hidden gem. The calamari was perfectly cooked—light, crisp, not greasy at all. The spaghetti Bolognese was rich, smooth, and perfectly al dente… the kind of dish that makes you pause and enjoy every bite. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. And Virginia—our server—was amazing. Attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Are with a crowd. So tried a variety of food everything was delicious I will be back!“

“Lisa and I have never been disappointed with the food or service. Their specials are great.“

“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.“

“Food is great. Service is very good. Totally recommend.“

“If you enjoy Indian cuisine, I highly recommend Manzil Fine Indian Dining! They have a lunch buffet for $18.99, all you can eat, and it was delicious. The chicken curry and butter chicken were on point, and I tried a little bit of everything. I honestly can’t complain about a single thing. 🤤🤤🤤“

“we had a appointment at Shands and decided to have an early dinner. we started with the grouper fingers which were excellent. For my dinner I had the fried green tomatoes and she crab soup. They were both delicious 😋 Hubby had chicken sandwich and fries which were both good but he wishes he would have gotten something else like the shrimp etouffee. We will definitely be back. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart sorry I forgot her name. But highly recommend!!“

“Just used my texted coupon from 5 Star Pizza. It was a BOGO. They allowed me to customize up for the cost of a topping. They are professional, efficient and make an amazingly delicious pizza. The cost even without a coupon is excellent. Thank you so much.“

“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!“

“This is a super cool bar and eatery my daughters and I visited on our vacation. The food was excellent. My drink, a house made cocktail called The Riveter, was excellent and our bartenders were super nice and friendly. I highly recommend this establishment.“

“Had the opportunity to visit this place today for the first time and it was great. The staff was amazing, the pizza was great and there was plenty memorabilia to look at. Will definitely hit this spot again soon.“

“The wonderful owners of Mint Indian Cuisine allowed me to host my daughter’s college graduation party at their establishment. They made our family, and most importantly, my daughter, feel very welcome and special. The food was delicious and served timely. They patiently explained the menu to those in our group who hadn’t eaten Indian cuisine. We had enough privacy and the price was right. We highly recommend them and thank them for sharing their genuinely warm hospitality with us.“

“La atmósfera es elegante y la comida excepcional“

“Excellent service and food.“

“I'll upload pictures next time as the pizza is so good here, I always get straight to demolishing it and forget to capture the art 😅. One of my most favorite pizza shops on Tower Rd. The 18inch XL is a great deal that will last you a few meals due to the sheer size of the slices. Can't beat the value & most of all, flavor. Ordering is simple especially if do it online. There is a wide topping selection & they always have a deal going that caters to common situations. Both pickup & delivery are quick. Staff are friendly & accommodating & the pizza is piping hot when you recieve it. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quality pizza 👌!“

“We had an amazing time trying all the wines this past week. Can't wait to go back and pick up more wine in the future!“

“Great wine. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I definitely will go back when back in town.“

“they have the best food and service and their workers are very friendly and helpful“

“The portions were big and the atmosphere was warm“

“Dining in, taking out, take and bake always a delicious meal. I’ve had a little of everything over the years and always delighted with every bite! Can’t beat their lunch specials, the rolls are amazing, can’t say enough. If you haven’t tried them, YOU are missing out on some great food!“

“Charles is amazing“

“Great vegan food and friendly staff“

“Fantastic!! I took 29 family and friends out for our 40th anniversary yesterday and the the staff and food were fantastic. No one has a complaint. Food cane out hot all at the same time. Yum“

“Excellent quality food. Amazing taste of butter chicken and great deal! Their attention is always phenomenal and you can always expect good portion, taste and satisfaction. Their food always tastes and feels healthier (less fatty) than other restaurants in Gainesville. Butter chicken recommended!!“

“I will always support this establishment and I love it so much and more people need to come visit right away because they really give you a great amount and it’s top quality ten stars
🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫“

“Excellent food and service“

“Anytime I meet my son for brunch in Gainesville this is where I want to eat! Love the Flying Biscuit! Food is so yummy!!“

“ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. The Greek salad was gorgeous and fresh, dressing and tzatziki sauce were spot on, and both gyro-meat dishes we tried were truly fantastic. My only wish is that the spices in the baklava shone through a bit more; everything else was so well seasoned (even the French fries) that the dessert was a little bit of a let down. Would have been a completely flawless meal with a little extra spiced honey.“

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

“Fantastic quality food!! Freshly prepared dishes, hand made spring rolls and dumplings!. Definitely recommend Wah Ha Ha to family and friends to stop in. Friendly service! Stop in or order a delivery.“

“Really great crab and sides. Very friendly service. We loved every bite. Just hard to locate and find - it’s a food truck in an empty lot! Needs some picnic tables and some crab hammers so you can eat on site. Would definitely come back the next time I’m in town.“

“Excellent service the girls go overboard. I’m trying to help you and get what you like. The food is exceptional. Everybody so sweet. It’s like a team effort. The owners are so special and so good to have a nice place like this in Gainesville. We’re very blessed.“
