50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Jacksonville

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

“Amazing food! I hope to go back soon.“

“This location did not honor our reservation via OpenTable and we had to wait for a table on a very busy night for 45-50 minutes. Not sure why this location is listed on OpenTable when P.F. Chang's will not honor the reservation if made there.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!!!“

“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“

“We had a group of about 25 people o. Saturday, and the food and service were both top notch. Wiam and Raed jumped in with their crew, and took such good care of our huge group. The food was amazing, and most of us had never been there before, but all said we would be back. We can't thank them enough for hosting us!“

“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.“

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

“Great food and you will feel transported to Japan and love the atmosphere, ambience and delicious food. They are a bit short staffed but will do everything possible to give you great service. Food is served piping hot and felt the most authentic Japanese food in this side of the town“

“Intimate dining space with bar seating as well as tables. Wonderful house made pasta dishes with lots of options. Great desserts, excellent service.“

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

“Local to Jacksonville but never been here before. Definitely did not disappoint! Sunshine was wonderful and made sure we were well taken care of. She was super friendly and explained the whole menu to us so we knew what to look at and offered fantastic suggestions too!
The food was incredible and very filling. We got the Chicago style pizza - home on the range, and it was delicious! My oldest got the “whatever” panini and LOVED it, the youngest loved that they cut his slice up for him too!
Don’t sleep on the desserts either y’all! They have a great selection made by a local baker.

All around this place is pretty amazing. Could use a little updating, but the place is old and it honestly just adds to the charm. If you’re looking for Chicago style pizza, this is the spot!

100% Will return and bring friends.“

“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“

“Went here for the first time today. ate the chocolate baklava, chicken kebab, tabouli and pasta salad w/lemonade. The atmosphere is casual and laid back. Outdoor and indoor tables and booths. Food is wonderful and the variety of options great.“

“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.“

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

“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 had a work 2026 New Year's Eve party at Island Wings on Southside Blvd, Jacksonville, FL. I worked with Rashad Graham, the catering manager and our waiter named Jared. They were FANTASTIC!!! Every step of the way in planning, Rashad was there and ready to help and give suggestions. When I arrived, early, for the party they already had everything set-up and ready to go. Rashad came and met me and introduced me to Jared. They had everything planned. Jared was assigned only to our group for getting cocktails. He was amazing, taking care of close to 35 people and no one was ever searching and searching for him. He remembered names and faces. The food was delicious and there was SO MUCH! They supplied boxes and we all took home some food. I have to say, this was one of the BEST parties we have ever had! Will be looking to them again for a other party in the future.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“What an experience!!! Great food, great c/s, the atmosphere, is definitely different to the southern realm. I will definitely return, first visit was Sunday, I'm back Wed. It's a must try.“

“Vale catered a beautiful and healthy lunch for the teachers and staff of Global Leadership Academy. From first contact through set up Aaron the manager and Sonny the owner handled the event like it was a white glove gala. Their communication was on point leaving no room for worries. Everything arrived hot, smelling delicious and set up with care. We ordered 1x Full Pan of Vale Rice 1x Full Pan of Cilantro lime Brown Rice and beans 1x Full Pan of Chipotle Mac n Cheese ( twice baked with extra cheese topped ) 1x Full Pan of Spinach and Arugula Salad 1x Full Pan of Baja Summer Kale Salad 1x Full Pan of Roasted Broccoli 1x Full Pan of Turmeric Onions and Peppers 2x Full Pan of BBQ Chicken 2x Full Pan of Turkey Spinach Feta Meatballs 2x Chipotle Ranch 2x Vale Vinaigrette 1x full pan of Almond Butter protein Brownies 20x white chocolate macadamia cookies 20x chocolate chip cookies.

“We come at least once a month for mom and son night out and see Olivia ! She's the best . We get share the Cesar salad and cosmic karma . Sooo good!“

“YES, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BODRUM MEDITERRANEAN KITCHEN!!! 😁 Our team was TDY at JAX and decided to go for some Mediterranean food. This place is a hidden gem it seems as only a few people were eating in but we did notice a lot of to-go orders... We were seated in a cozy area of the restaurant by a window. Our dinner experience was like having a family meal where the meal was sooo good everyone stopped talking because all of us were too busy enjoying our food. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. This is by far the best Mediterranean restaurant I have dined at. Will definitely come back when we are back in the area again.“

“Great food and very friendly staff.“

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

“Great food and love the wine choices and happy hour prices!“

“Food is fantastic ! Employees so nice. Service excellent. I’ll definitely keep going back.“

“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!“

“Barbi at the Mandarin Metro diner is 12 out of 10 stars she makes our visit very wonderful every time we come, which is often“

“Ramen, hibachi and sushi were delicious and fresh! The portions were big and we have plenty of leftovers. We will definitely be back!“

“I just had the best bacon egg and cheese sandwich! It comes on a croissant, and it is huge! And tasty! I had a choice of sides with it, would have preferred just the sandwich, but I chose the fruit. I will eat the fruit later, but it looks fresh and tasty. I actually ordered two, but the first sandwich was extremely filling, the second will be supper. The price is not bad for what you get, $8.99 for the sandwich and side. I had mine delivered and I didn't have to wait forever to get it. I highly recommend Metro Diner on Roosevelt Blvd.“

“One of my favorite Sushi restaurants in all of Jacksonville. The sushi is always extremely fresh, and the service is beyond excellent.“

“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.“

“One of the best. The vibe, service, drinks and food are all on point. The Oaxacan influence and flavor puts this place above the rest.“

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

“Absolutely great food , great people, I highly recommend giving this place a chance , you will not be disappointed“
