50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Sarasota

“The food really wasn't that great, but the service was and the atmosphere was pleasant as well. The manager was also pretty awesome. The best part was that we didn't meet the manager because of a complaint we met the manager because he was offering outstanding customer service to help his team. RESPECT!“

“We had dinner last night and can’t stop talking about how much we enjoyed the food and service! We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and the host treated us to prosecco while we waited for our table. The filet, the halibut, the lobster tails, the desserts (especially the chocolate cake!) was all absolutely delicious!! Our server was wonderful as well! Very personable and had great menu recommendations. We will be back!!“

“We had dinner at Siegfried's Restaurant on Feb. 26th - our third meal there and we always leave with big smiles on our faces. The schnitzel and sauerbraten are both excellent, as are the sides and desserts. The staff is warm and engaging and we were so happy to meet and speak with the chef/owner. The restaurant is in one of the cozy-looking cottages on Fruitville Rd and is the perfect setting for this authentic German restaurant. Be sure you make a reservation and be prepared to enjoy a fantastic German meal!“

“Michael's on East (MOE) is one of the best fine dining establishments in Sarasota and has been in business for nearly 40 years. Ive been a customer for nearly 30 of those 40 years and despite its maturity, MOE is still hot, hopping and a crowd pleaser for those who enjoy great food, wines and service. During its nearly four decades, MOE has been wowing patrons with its fine cuisine, decor, and outstanding service. Don't be surprised if you see actors, comedians and musicians who might be performing at the Van Wezel during the winter season, sitting next to you because the concierge at their hotel recommended MOE as one of the desirable restaurants for a sensational meal, wine and service. MOE is rich in Sarasota heritage and is the perfect choice to celebrate a special occasion with that very special guest or guests. It's a delight in every way.“

“The 💣 diggity 🍣 🍱. Not only is the food out of this world but the atmosphere is killer. The 1st time we ate there the one and only 🎙️Mick Jagger was there. 5 ⭐️“

“I love to share my food experience with other people, as local guide I write reviews and share photos of the best restaurants, bakeries, pizzerias and cafés I have tried during my world trips. I travel a lot and it allows me to try many places in US and abroad. Especially I love to try vegetarian dishes, even I’m not 100%, but only about 80% vegetarian. Surprisedly I found this very nice place almost next to my house in Sarasota. It’s not so easy to find restaurant with a very good sushi, colorful and 100% vegan in such small town like Sarasota. If you’re looking for a phenomenal not only vegetarian lunch or dining experience, look no further than LILA. Their menu is a culinary masterpiece, offering an incredible selection of dishes that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a true pleasure. I’ve dined at Lila several times and have never been disappointed – it’s truly a must-visit destination for any food lover (not only vegetarian).“

“The food and service did not disappoint. My wife had the mahi tuna salad. It was excellent and crunchy as described on the menu I had scallops. They were perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was very good. Everything arrived timely hot, and the waiter did not hover have eaten at hundreds of restaurants and this is one of the better onesnot exceptionally expensive and in a mall but quite good food and service and I highly recommend.“

“The happy hour there is fantastic. Most of their appetizers are half off. They are the size of a meal.our favorite app are the chicken tenders. We upgrade from fries to onion rings for an extra $2. It's well worth it. Their onion rings are a beer batter variety an really good. Their pizzas are also half off during happy hour. They are Gourmet pizza and really good as well.“

“I read the reviews online (I’m from out of state) and couldn’t be happier w the cake I ordered for my father’s 80th birthday. The customer service was outstanding, especially the woman who I met in the store when I picked up my order. She was such a lovely person and so helpful. She helped me pick out some other pastries and helped me carry my goodies to the car. The chocolate buttercream frosting on the cake reminded me of the icing my grandfather used to make. Everything was wonderful and so delicious. Everyone loved the cake! Thank you!“

“We had our anniversary dinner here and it was amazing! Great food, great servers, Bob the manager and William our server were helpfull and very professional! Very much recommended!“

“What a GREAT find! Small Italian place with 8 tables and the Chef cooking for the room.

Everything was great! Had the Escargo fra diavolo, table-side Caesar salad for 2. Entrees were the lobster fra diavolo and jumbo shrimp/lobster over cream sauce.

An hour ride but worth the trip. Looking forward to our next visit.

Grazie mille Chef!“

“Best burger in town. Has that old school vibe that I'm missing in my life. Good customer service and quality food.“

“Alma de España is truly a little piece of Spain in Sarasota. Every dish feels like a work of art—full of flavor, passion, and tradition.

Chef Elier Rodriguez brings extraordinary talent and heart to the table, and you can taste it in every bite, from the tapas to the wood-fired dishes.

Claudia, his wife, was incredibly sweet and welcoming. They make you feel like family from the moment you arrive.

A beautiful atmosphere, unforgettable flavors, and a dining experience that stays with you long after the meal ends. I can’t wait to come back with friends and family.“
