50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Boise

“nice and smooth will order again“

“Brunch here is my favorite in Boise. The Duck and waffles is the best combo of sweet and savory. Their mimosa service is fun and delicious: tasty bottle of cava tableside with fresh squeezed OJ“

“Delicious and original menu items. Friendly owner and staff. Great atmosphere with indoor/outdoor dining and even a walk-up window. The Funky Taco is setting the bar for downtown eateries. It's a destination.“

“Wild root is just about my favorite place in town. I love the originality of the menu. There's always something I'm interested in. And I love how it rotates with the seasons. I had the lettuce wraps, which were amazing. Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal and sweet.“

“best place in Boise ever since it opened. I can't eat here enough. total soul salvation.“

“Tarbush Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants and the new location is so nice. I recommend it to all my friends and try to eat there as often as possible!“

“The food is fabulous and well worth the wait.“

“So delicious! The food got to our table quickly and was phenomenal! I highly recommend this restaurant. We ordered white and red lamb tibs and black and red lentils and loved it. The injera wasn’t too sour, as it was in a different Ethiopian restaurant me and my family have been to. Very good and would definitely go there again.“

“Great food along with good live music most of the time. If I had a chance I'd stop“

“Another awesome meal. We go there semi regularly. Always glad to see Craig, our preferred and requested server. We are blessed to be able to go to fine dining around the world. Chandlers never disappoints. Thankful they are in our town! Well done!“

“The first time we came here, it was good, but nothing to write home about. But I’m so glad I came back and gave them a second go. The sushi was extremely good, fresh, and well prepared. Service was fantastic as well. Sake selection is on point. Not huge, but good quality. I like that they have a little picture guide at the place settings so you can figure out what the sushi bros have given you. Menu does a good job of explaining things as well for those who may not know all the proper sushi/sashimi names. The sushi rice was really well seasoned and the pieces were large. Hospitality was super as well! Really great experience and I highly recommend! Wish I had taken some photos, but I’ve already eaten everything up! Ordered the sushi and sashimi for 1 and aged tofu. Everything was excellent.“

“The last 5 years my husband and I have made this our go to restaurant for Afghani and Mediterranian food. Best naan in town--chewy, thick and flavorful. Service is excellent as always. Portions are generous. Our favorite is the Chicken Tikka Masala. Sauce is truly exceptional. We'll keep going back as we have the last 5 years. 10 out of five“

“Walking into the coffee shop Giftshop is quite colorful, they have a large selection of stickers and mugs along with Gag gifts, and friendly staff. The coffee I ordered was a white chocolate mocha but it wasn’t very sweet kinda plain but it did have a wonderful cream design on the top as pictured. The coffee prices are rather cheap for Boise and the food prices were also very affordable for Boise.“

“Wow, wow, wow! Best Thai food I have EVER had. Pad Thai Gai and Kau Swe Nuer are where it’s at 🍜🥥🍋‍🟩😩🩷“

“The food is very good. We have tried pizza and salads and both were fresh and very tastey. The on-line ordering is horrible. Yesterday we placed a to go order at 3 pm and was told that it would not be ready to pick up until 7 pm, 4 hours later. That is not unusual and sometimes they stop on-line ordering several hours before closing. They either need more ovens, a better system or discontinue take out orders because on-line ordering for take out is very frustrating and annoying.“

“I popped into Stella’s late one afternoon on my way home from work, looking to treat myself with a pint of ice cream. I couldn’t decide between my usual go-to flavor of mint chocolate chip, or if I wanted to try something new. I wound up doing both and also got a pint of the All Nighter, a coffee-flavored ice cream. They even had peanut butter PUPsicles so I grabbed one of those for my dog. The gal at the counter (who was super helpful while I asked questions about the ice cream flavors) rang me up and I was on my way. I’m almost (but not entirely) embarrassed to admit that I didn’t make it home before I needed to try a bite of the ice cream. I was in standstill traffic, it was hot, and I had a spoon. Or so I thought. I was already committed at that point so I just took a little bite off the top of the opened pint. And another. And another. It was so good that I ate what I could reach without the use of a spoon, then I had to try the other flavor. Both were so good and creamy that I had to force myself to put the lids back on and save some for my husband. My dog is lucky I didn’t break into his pupsicle. Now to the pupsicle. I gave it to my dog as soon as I got home. His little mind was blown by the surprise treat and I sat on the floor with him, holding the pupsicle as he licked it. He didn’t stop until the ice cream was gone and once it was, he still had the cookie part to eat. He rated it 4 paws up and wants another. I will definitely be back to try all the flavors!“

“The food was amazing and the Masala Chai was perfect, especially for a cold, windy day.“

“Yoi Tomo Sushi and Grill isn’t just a restaurant,it’s an arena. An all-you-can-eat battle of wills between man and salmon, and I came to win.

Their all-you-can-eat deal is amazing, as long as you show up with a plan, a purpose, and possibly a small support group. The rule is simple: if you leave more than three pieces on the plate, they charge you five bucks. Honestly, that’s fair. Sushi abandonment should be a crime anyway.

So I dug deep. I toughed it out like a sushi warrior destined for greatness. I had enough salmon nigiri to make an entire grizzly bear question its life choices, and then I finished strong with the Anger Management Roll, because dessert should be raw fish wrapped in rice and existential decisions.

If I had paid full price for everything I ate, my bill would have been 90 bucks. Instead, I walked out victorious, only slightly dizzy, and spiritually transformed.

Important survival tip: You must must must get on the waitlist via Yelp. Do not show up like a walk-in amateur. We arrived at 5 PM on a Saturday, were already 13th on the waitlist, and still waited about 45 minutes. But it was incredibly well run and organized. These people conduct the waitlist like air traffic control during the Super Bowl. Respect.

If you have an appetite (or unresolved emotional issues you’d like to eat your way through), this place is heaven. If not, go order a salad somewhere else and let the rest of us work.“

“Such a great place! Super easy to order, and wonderful food. They give you huge portion sizes and tons of flavor options to add at the table! (Sriracha, Hoisin Sauce, spicy chili oil)! The staff is very friendly as well! And the Vietnamese iced coffee is so tasty!“

“Had trouble with this section. Would have raved more.“

“okay...I'm not sure about the "homemade" ice cream... just moved here and that was the best choice I made that night. That being, I can't recommend THE STIL for anything besides the BEST ICE CREAM I HAVE HAD ♥️“

“Was favorite lunch spot before retirement. Now living in Montana and miss the ability to eat there. However, we make it a must stop when visiting family. If you like the cuisine give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“nice place with very good and Healthy Food“

“Best Mexican food ever everything is so good and fast and warm people are very nice excellent service“

“Great food and great staff! Can not recommend enough!“

“Amazing empanadas! Very savory and affordable.“

“Friendly service and great food! They’ve catered two company events and it was a big hit. They are so easy to work with and reasonably priced. I absolutely recommend!“

“Had a fabulous dinner starting with the calamari and a charcuterie board. Our main dishes included the cacciuco (seafood stew), tagliatelle with bolognese and tortioli pasta with hazelnut pesto, carmelized pearl onions and local roasted assorted mushrooms. For dessert we shared the chocolate tiramisu. Everything was outstanding and the service was excellent. Definitely would recommend!“

“Always come to Certified when we visit Boise. The English muffins are the best“

“Amazing food and great service. Vegan and gluten free options. The beet salad was so good. Will definitely be back!“

“Good salad 🥰 great food“

“One of favorite places too dine. Sorry no pics. Never think of it until too late. I had the Pho with short ribs. First time ordering. I usually try something different each time. The short rib melted in your mouth. It is a fusion Asian establishment so aside from sounding contradictory, it isn’t what I would consider authentic Pho. If you don’t smell like pho for a day or two, than I consider it American friendly. 🤓. It was still delicious and fresh ingredients. My wife has her staple Kao Sao (so?). Very tasty. The fresh rolls were also extremely fresh. Toffey (sp?) our hostess was awesome. She spent time with us discussing the menu and the chefs talents which we know first hand. Emily, our waitress was attentive and prompt and provided excellent service. We have never had a bad meal or service here.“

“The food is amazing!!! Best burgers in town. The customer service top notch. 🤌🏽

Shout out to the young man who took our payment and handed us our food. It's not too often you get such great service.

The staff all deserve a round of applause 👏🏽

P.S. it's okay to tell jokes that aren't that funny. The fact that you brought a smile to a customer means more than you know. 💅“

“Great atmosphere, staff, and of course desserts.“

“Absolutely love it here! The waiters/waitresses are always kind and on top of it all.“

“amazing pizza super awesome staff“

“Oh my hell SO GOOD! I got the Korean Short Rib Tacos; amazing! The kimchi was delicious and the perfect amount on the taco. Everyone was so kind and was checking on us, talking to us. Such an amazing place!!“

“okay...I'm not sure about the "homemade" ice cream... just moved here and that was the best choice I made that night. That being, I can't recommend THE STIL for anything besides the BEST ICE CREAM I HAVE HAD ♥️“

“good food! good service!“

“Their Vegan Pizza is delicious!!“

“I am visiting here and had no idea where to get a good smoothie but found BJC on UberEats. Boy, am I glad I did! They had some great descriptions of their options... so I chose the Peanut Butter Power Smoothie as described and it was awesome! I also ordered the Berry On Smoothie for later but I expect it to be great too (added fruit protein to that one). Finally, I was recovering from covid so I bought 3 of the Immune Booster... be prepared it is powerful and has a strong flavor with lemon, Turmeric and Ginger but I felt this would give me an additional boost. So glad I found this place. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoyed mine! Cheers, Julie from Middle Tennessee“

“Coffee was great and nice patio area ❤️“

“Bluesky Bagels is hands down the BEST hidden gem in town. Not only are the bagels fresh, soft, and ridiculously delicious, but the prices are unbeatable — where else can you snag two whole bags for around $3.50? 🤯 Every time I walk in, the place smells like heaven, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and I leave wondering why I ever bought bagels anywhere else. Honestly, grocery store bagels don’t even compare — these taste like they were made with actual love. 🥯💙 If you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favor: stop what you’re doing and go. Your mornings (and your toaster) will thank you.“

“Loved everything about our stay. ❤️“

“Amazing food and great service. Vegan and gluten free options. The beet salad was so good. Will definitely be back!“

“This is easily one of my favorite pizza places in the boise area. Its that delicious fresh pizza by the slice. I return here frequently when I work in the area. These guys are a well oiled pizza machine and they do some good specials too. Go get you some!“

“The owners are lovely and so sweet and helpful! So many HEALTHY options I can’t wait to try them all!“

“The best ice cream around! Creamy and dreamy!“

“Great place 🤩🤩 Love their food 😋😋“

“Pizza Twist ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pizza Twist is an international pizza chain that started in Sacramento, California. It was originally known as Chicago’s Pizza with a Twist. Today, they have 103 locations. Like most pizza chains, Pizza Twist uses frozen, pre-formed dough. Known for using locally sourced ingredients and premium quality GMO-free meat, Pizza Twist offers traditional and Indian-influenced pizzas. They have Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, and Halal options On 7/1/23, I tried Pizza Twist in Boise for the first time. I ordered a small Spicy Lamb Kabob pizza ($13.99), which is a customer favorite. Spicy Lamb Kabob pizza has their signature Tandoori sauce, fresh diced mozzarella cheese, sliced lamb, crisp red onions, spicy jalapeno, juicy pineapple, fresh diced; garlic, ginger, and green chilies, garnished with fresh cilantro. My experience at Pizza Twist exceeded my expectations! The service was excellent even though they were very busy the night I visited. Owner Raj took my order. He asked how spicy I wanted my pizza. I told him that I like spicy food and asked him to make me the Pizza the way he would, if making it for himself. My pizza was ready to go in about 20 minutes. My pizza was still hot when I got home, which is about a 10 minute drive. The pizza crust was unremarkable, but the flavor combination of the toppings was outstanding! I wouldn’t normally order pizza with pineapple, but the sweetness of the pineapple paired perfectly with the lamb and spicy jalapeño. I understand why the Spicy Lamb Kabob is a customer favorite. It’s unlike any pizza I’ve ever had, with a unique combination of flavors that is downright addictive. I would definitely order it again. Next, I would like to try the Butter Chicken pizza. Highly Recommended!!!“
