37 Best Vegan Restaurants in Oak Park

“OMG. Just OMG. I work out for these.“

“I can’t say enough great things about this place, I make a stop every chance I get! I’ve tried nearly everything, but the Kale scones are amazing! The coffee drinks are great and delicious. I’m a full time working mom, and my parents who watch my baby while I work said the only payment they need is a box of broken tart pastries! The people there are great, they really work as a team and are super efficient. Saturdays beware though, people are lined up, and for good reason!“

“The Best Lox Bagel Ever !“

“Excellent food for dine in and creative, well presented catering service options. Karim worked with me to create a menu that our guests loved.“

“Delightful food choices that are always tasty“

“We were indifferent to Mora when it first opened several years ago. The food was ok but not great. We went back for the first time in years a few weeks ago and were absolutely delighted by everything. We returned on Sunday afternoon and continue to be bowled over inspite of the noisy laughter coming from a couple of women in a corner booth.“

“Customer service is great. I had the roasted chicken and tamales. There were pieces of corn in every bite of the tamale, and the chicken was moist. Do not forget to try a margarita.“

“I’m so happy to have found an awesome bagel shop not far from home! We ordered The Obvious and Sweet & Tart and both were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches were packed with cream cheese and toppings. I also wasn’t expecting the coffee to be so amazing! I ordered a 16 oz. iced caramel latte and it was perfectly sweet and strong. We will be making Daly Bagel part of our weekend routine! Plan on getting your food to-go, though, because there is limited seating (especially on weekends) and it’s pretty toasty in there.“

“We had such a wonderful experience! Our waitress, Daniella, was absolutely amazing so kind, attentive, and full of positive energy. She made sure we were comfortable the entire time and went above and beyond to take great care of us, checking in often and making sure we had everything we needed. Her sweet personality and amazing energy truly made our visit special. Also the hostesses were also so amazing. Thank you for making sure we were comfortable.

The food was also delicious everything came out fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Between Daniella’s outstanding service, her positive energy, and the amazing food, it was such an enjoyable meal from start to finish.“

“I had an incredible dinner at Hoja Santa in Oak Park. I ordered the medium-rare NY Strip Steak, and it was cooked to absolute perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The yuca fries with chimichurri were on a whole different level; truly out of this world. I paired everything with two glasses of cabernet, which made the whole meal even better. The ambiance is quiet and comfortable, making it a great spot to unwind, and the location is super convenient. What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were genuinely attentive and made me feel as if I had been there many times before—like a regular. That kind of warmth is rare and really elevated the experience. Highly recommend.“

“Greg and I just finished the chicken pot pie. The best I've ever had, and ask Greg, I'm very picky!!“

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“

“The seasonal specials are not only creative but delicious! Tried the Carmel apple cider sundae. In a word fantastic! Worth the trip from Schaumburg! Fun atmosphere. Highly recommend. See you soon!“

“Good foods and good service, give it a five (5) ⭐️“

“Always a great place to stop for quiche and coffee. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Very relaxing environment and excellent sushi choices. Great saki as well.“

“Very good place to have dinner ! Nice art work to view on the wall and the tequila sunrise was super delicious & tall !“

“I finally decided to try Taco 76 and I have to say, totally worth it!! The restaurant looks great, super clean and very good service! I ordered a steak burrito and totally enjoyed it. By way of comparison, I give the edge to Cactus Grill in Forest Park as I find their food absolutely delicious and authentic, but YES this place is really good! The Cactus Grill specialty burrito is the best I’ve ever had! It’s a mix of carne asada, Al pastor and Chorizo made to order!!!“

“We recently hosted a dinner event here, and from planning to the event itself, I cannot say how pleased I am we chose Il Vicolo. Vito worked with us on planning the menu, and both he and the staff we incredibly accommodating in terms of setting up their semi-private room for our event. The space itself, especially the back room, is gorgeous and intimate, and the food is spectacular. On top of this, entire waitstaff were incredibly friendly and ensured our guests were welcomed and taken care of well.

I’ll also note I had the opportunity to dine at Il Vicolo on my own, and that too was a wonderful experience. I had salad, a small appetizer, pizza, and dessert all of which were delicious. The service was excellent then as well, and the pacing was great. Time was given for each of the courses without it ever feeling like things were moving too slowly. The TL;DR of that being that I always had food to be eating without ever feeling like my plates were stacking up!

Finally, with the village lot just in back, parking is a breeze if you can’t walk or bike there. Highly recommend stopping in when you have the opportunity!“

“I am not vegetarian but I ALWAYS get the portobello sandwich (MulataBella) and lentil soup. My kids and I love the spinach empanada. Owner is a woman of color and an immigrant bringing her family’s Brazilian dishes to OP!“

“is a good place for eat healthy.“

“On Sundays, I love eating there after the church service when enjoyed eating different salads, pizzas and pastas..... especially drinking one of canned beers. I'm totally satisfied with one of Billy Bricks locations. Today, I had Baked Mostaccioli pasta and a can of Chicago Common beer.“

“We always enjoy visiting with Bill and enjoying their delicious dishes (especially those crazy good wood fire pizzas!) Amazing!“

“Beautiful ambiance, attentive, friendly service and good food. Perfect place for family, friends and date nights. One of the Historic buildings in Oak Park.“

“It was our first time visiting this restaurant, and we went with some friends who were back in town and eager to revisit one of their old favorites. We’re so glad they introduced us to it.

We started with vegetable pakoras and samosas — the pakoras were decent, but the samosas really stood out. They were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch , definitely not the frozen kind.

For our mains, my husband had the Karahi Gosht and I ordered the Seekh Kabob, along with mango lassis to drink. Both dishes were excellent — full of flavor yet perfectly mild, which was a pleasant surprise since we both have a low spice tolerance.

We finished with the badami sheer, which was just the right level of sweetness and absolutely delicious.

Overall, the food, service, and ambiance were all fantastic. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Lots to offer, works to benefit the community“

“Pablo, our waiter, was exceptional. During our first visit here, he warmly welcomed us and showcased impressive knowledge of the menu, even extending to items not listed. He encouraged us to customize our meal to our liking, and he certainly delivered! For starters, we chose the grilled calamari and Rockefeller oysters. The calamari was tender and impeccably cooked, steering clear of the typical rubbery texture. Opting for balsamic instead of oil was a perfect choice. The oysters were superb, not overwhelmed with cheese. I ordered the veal picatta from the menu, expecting a thin slab, but was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. The angel hair pasta complemented the dish well, although I could have done without the mushrooms – a personal preference, which I should've mentioned. Nonetheless, if you're a mushroom enthusiast, they give you plenty. My boyfriend ordered off-menu, enjoying the Zuppe di Pesce with shrimp, clams, extra calamari, and rigatoni Diablo style in red sauce. It was absolutely amazing and satisfied his taste without being overly spicy. To accompany the meal, I had a glass of the house Chardonnay, which was light and buttery. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't typically drink wine, enjoyed it. Our heartfelt thanks to Pablo and the owner/chef Giovanni for an outstanding dining experience, both in terms of the meal and the service.“

“Best Thai food in the area. Puts all the Thai places in Chicago to shame! Great atmosphere, not long wait and professional service. The crab rangoons are the best ones I’ve ever had, good cream cheese to crab ratio, I also ordered the duck noodles which had a lot of meat that was cooked really good. Very tender and juicy and flavorful. I like when good meat can just shine in its taste without any spices clashing with it too much and those noodles really hit the mark in my opinion. My husband had the mild curry and it was very, very good, if you only order one thing, order the mild curry. It was sweet and a bit spicy. Unfortunately they don’t deliver to Chicago so if you have any recommendations for Thai restaurants in Chicago please let me know!“

“Just had an amazing dinner! Soooooo good. A definite spot to stop in Oak Park!“

“Hands down the best tom kar soup I've ever had. The red curry was delicious with just the right amount of spice. It felt like someone's grandma was in there cooking. The service was amazing the staff was attentive all at a great price.“

“1st time here, It was a very nice experience, our server was great and the musicians were great too! The food was yummy! And the cocktails! I will recommend to my friends!“

“GREAT STAFF SERVICE THE FOOD WAS WELL COOK VERY CLEAN IT WAS MY FIRST TIME THERE ITS A COZY PLACE“

“Service polite and quick. Space clean and well organized. Ordered the Papa Q platter, everything was good, especially the pork belly and sausage. Sides were cornbread, sweeter than traditional, mac q roni- tasty, coleslaw- creamy and traditional, and mashed potatoes with gravy-really good. Hush puppies were yummy too. Three sauces on table are all good individually but I mixed them all together, delish!“

“This place serves ramen incredibly fast, and the service is always great. The food is absolutely delicious. I’ve already been here five times, which is unusual for me—I normally don’t visit the same restaurant more than once or twice. But here, I want to try everything on the menu!
I’ve already tried every type of ramen they offer, and I can honestly recommend them all - they’re all full of flavor. I also really appreciate their private seating areas with curtains that give you a bit of space and privacy from other guests.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re a ramen lover!“

“Awesome place!! I can't recommend this place high enough- super yummy food and very friendly staff!!“

“Stopped in yesterday for lunch, first-time visitors. Smash burger excellent, Cubano sandwich excellent, fries were outstanding. We sat at the bar and the young lady serving us was cheerful and attentive. We'll be back! Thank you! 🤗🍺👍“

“Great food. Wait was reasonable as we went across the street for ice cream to pass time. Because it’s Chicago style pizza it takes a minute to cook, but the wait is more than worth it!“
