50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Siesta Key

“The best gelato this side of Italy 😍“

“First timers but def won’t be the last! The crabcakes, lobster bisque, tuna tacos, & beef short rib were the tastiest & freshest food we had while here. Wished we would have tried it sooner in our trip cuz I’m going to bed thinking of the food!! We sat out back where a guy was playing guitar & it was just a whole vibe. We love love love good food!! Service (Monica, I hope) was exceptional. This will be one of our faves for sure. Portions were perfect. Did I say how delectable the tuna was? Mmmm….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

The staff was very nice and respectful including Andy who has a heart of gold that will accommodate the best of your needs. Thank you The New Jersey Family!“

“If you’re on Siesta Key and craving amazing Thai food, I highly recommend Star Thai & Sushi Siesta Key! The flavors are authentic and fresh, the sushi is top-notch, and the service is always friendly. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot to unwind after a day at the beach. Don’t miss this gem!“

“Ka Papa is a true gem serving the vegan community of south Florida! These guys clearly are experienced in working with plant cuisine: the tastes brought forward in their dishes speak for themselves. I had the vegan escargot appetizer which was surprisingly buttery, rich & appetizing! We also had a fettuccini & mushroom dish which was to die for & the recommended plant protein steak with mashed potatoes - one of the best vegan steaks I have had in my entire life (vegan since 1992, so somewhat of a veteran vegan here). We had cake & ice cream for desert & felt like we flexed the menu heartily. For a weeknight the place was busy & service was on point, I can’t express how much I genuinely appreciated the terrific experience at Ka Papa!“

“Thank you Ionie!! 😍 Don’t miss out on this amazing restaurant. Their warmth and hospitality will make you feel like you are home!

“Great vegan pizza and regular cheese option for the kiddos! The cashew cheese was yummy! Also, don’t forget to try the fried artichoke app. And the espresso and tiramisu was excellent! We’ll be back for sure! Looking forward to trying it all!“

“The best ice cream in Florida! Generous portions, friendly staff and a wonderful location. You can sit inside or outside, both are fun. Can't wait to go back, yummy!!!“

“Linda and I went for the first time about a week ago. We should have gone sooner. The food was so good and the decor was refreshing. Great service and a great meal. We're going again tonight.“

“Awesome experience. Amazing ice cream! Highly recommend for all!“

“Absolutely the BEST ice cream around. As a family we drive an hour nearly every week to eat Jake's ice cream...YES, it's that good! Incredibly kind owner and staff as well, this place is a must visit if in the Sarasota area (and beyond!) Once you've tasted Jake's ice cream it's hard to ever eat anything else, he's raising the standards for homemade ice cream with every flavor - although we all have our favorites we've never tried one we didn't like!! (My personal favorite is Salty Turtle)“

“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 ⭐️“

“The food from service was absolutely a delight. Fresh yellowtail to s nice heat with the green curry was ravishing with a back end of spice was truly nice for me and my mom. The atmosphere with the music is a additional plus. NUDEE WAS THA BESTTT!!Personality a 10 service a 10 and Humor 10+ sorry no photos of the food but best believe it was delicious and authentic here's a picture of me and my mom after tho“

“I submitted a review through Google, but I will include it here as well. I cannot recommend this shop enough. First time coming was in early Summertime. Came in with friends, craving some ice cream. Not only did this place deliver, I have come back time and time again since receiving the same incredible service and atmosphere Ryan and his team brings. The rotating flavors are a wonderful dream of variety. If anyone is ever looking for a place for that sweet tooth, or a beautiful way to end your Downtown venture, achieve Great Heights. You will leave soaring through Great Heights.“

“We had lunch today at Oak & Stone in North Port. Wellen Park! Great food service and pleasant atmosphere. 5 ⭐️“

“Absolutely delicious!, Small, intimate, great service, and oh so delicious“

“We came here for the first time this week. Our waiter was incredible. The food is probably some of the best Italian that Sarasota has to offer. We will absolutely be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful date night!“

“Visited for the first time. Delicious breakfast, friendly hostess, fabulous service (shout out to Jeanette). Not sure why I’ve never been there, but will definitely return! 💟“

“Found this restaurant by accident. It was really good. Mike and Quin are a dynamic duo. They made our experience so much fun.“

“Our go to every year. The best fish tacos anywhere“

“The best poke and ramen spot in Sarasota!! So many fresh and healthy options, it never disappoints 🥰“

“Had a yet again wonderful dinner experience there this past Saturday. The food was great, bested only by the wonderful service and welcoming atmosphere. I called them this morning in search of my credit card that I was frantically looking for. I believe it was the owner who answered, and even though they were closed at that time, volunteered himself to go the restaurant to see if my card was there. He called me within a half hour that it was there. He waited until I got there to give me the card. He was an absolute gem to do this of his own accord. I can’t thank him and his wonderful restaurant enough!“

“The best. My family and I we had the best food 🍱. Evething was delicious. People there very sweet and amazing“

“Took a leap of faith on this restaurant on a one day visit to Sarasota with a dear friend. Downtown location puts Selva Grill right in the heart of a very nice part of the city away from the tourist area. Nice bar with great bartenders and superbly crafted drinks. We sat just off the bar at a window and enjoyed watching the place fill up as our dinner progressed. Our server, Eric, was OUTSTANDING. Attentive to our needs and requests, kept our water glasses full and paced our meal so we could savor every course. Appetizers and Ceviches are incredible and our Sea Bass and Lamb chop entrees were a feast for eyes and palate. We will happily drive from Naples to Sarasota again soon just to enjoy this great venue.“

“After two + years my husband has finally found his favorite breakfast restaurant. I was in a “oatmeal” mood kind of day and it was excellent…homemade, fresh fruit arrived nice and hot. He had their country fried steak and eggs w/home fries and marble rye toast. Everything was excellent. Should have taken pictures, sorry. We will be back for sure.“

“I recently hosted a group dinner at the Mellow Mushroom in Sarasota for 80 Sarasota High School baseball players and their moms and it was AMAZING!!! Everyone had such a great time! The food was delicious! Service was awesome! And dinning area and set-up were perfect and for our group! We'll definitely be back! Owner, Karen Atwood, is so supportive of our team! She's awesome!“

“This place is amazing. Great food, great wine, great service and wonderful setting. Best place to eat in LWR, IMO!“

“The buffet on Saturdays is excellent!“

“Very lucky to have this in Sarasota. Love“

“Yum! The Bacon Jam is outrageous, in the best way! Obsessed!“

“Wow! What an impressive evening at every level. Do not hesitate and book this restaurant for your next food adventure. The moment you walk into this establishment, you know the vibe is cool and these people know their food & spirits. The food is incredible and different than the typical Sarasota restaurant that has the same boring food offerings. I was impressed with the Iberico pork dish and unusually amazingly flavored vegetables and spices that accented the smoky, tender pork. The yuca side dish was similar to a potato but more flavorful and crispier mixed with an addition of corn, pickled cabbage and other vegetables. I haven't found a dish that impressed me more in recent years. The crispy salmon was a "oh wow" moment for my friend, who hails from the Pacific Northwest as do I, where Washingtonians know a thing or two about salmon. This restaurant provides your palate something different and if you're a veteran of dining out constantly, this is a welcomed change from the ordinary. The New York steak included an amazing demi glaze exploding with flavor and had the perfect consistency which can be a challenge to make right but State Street Eatinghouse + Cocktails got it right. I highly recommend the fried Brussell sprouts appetizer as they were a flavor explosion in our mouths. The bacon amplified the sprouts with the accompaniment of the balsamic glaze. My friend's husband and mine, who usually don't like this vegetable, were pleasantly surprised and ate more than the obligatory "try one" bite. State Street Eating House + Cocktails is owned by the same people that introduced us to tapas restaurant "Beso", which I recently tried, and awarded it my "Best Restaurant in Sarasota" award. This restaurant belongs in the "Restaurant Hall of Fame" of Sarasota or even US restaurants. I love it! My waiter, Dana, was super attentive and impressive. His vast knowledge of the drink and food menu was spot-on and his candor and expertise added to the whole evening's experience. What an amazing restaurant! I can't wait to book my next reservation and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. Cheers! Dietary restrictions: I appreciate they were mindful of my cow's milk allergy which makes eating out difficult since most dishes have butter and/or cheese. Thank you for helping me feel confident about eating here.“

“Celebrating our youngest daughter’s birthday and engagement, what a beautiful morning, great pastries, amazing croissants, and the drinks were divine!“

“Food was great,but...The napkins were the worst smelling napkins I've ever come across,they literally smelled like a hospital gown“

“First time trying this place and I really enjoyed my visit. Lily gave me excellent customer service and I will definitely come back.“

“Amazing fresh food and great service! Plus super creative offerings!“

“I can’t say enough good about Rosemary and Thyme! The food and drinks are wonderful, and the service is next level. From management to bartenders to servers- such positive interactions, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness. We always book on open table, and typically go for special occasions, and they’ve made it so special each time!“

“Excellent gluten free cupcakes! I ordered 6 different ones and we cut them in half people could try different flavors. Everyone loved them! And everyone I came in contact with (by phone and at pick up) were wonderful and friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“Food was superb. with the dessert being a surprize. Coming from Texas I am highly critical of place. The service was quick and effecient, and also knowledgable of the menu. Food was tremendous, from appetizer to entree. Desert was a surprise, with just the final touch of sweet. Only negstive was the condition of the restroom.“

“Great food, music and staff!“
