50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Villa Park

“The chili is good. Entered into a chili competition at work and really didnt feel like cooking. Purchased 4 quarts of chili and told my co-workers how I slaved over making this chili, putting just the right spices in to give it its unique taste. Everyone loved it! I lost 1st place by two points, probably because the judge can't add, but whatever. And yes, those are hotdogs in the picture. We made chili dogs. Their cream of chicken soup is good too.“

“Love love this place. Their beers are phenomenal especially the milkshake ones“

“I can’t even express in words how amazing the service the food the drinks the sauces are. I came in randomly and let me tell you I would bathe in the avocado hot sauce, while sipping the sex on the beach! The cilantro was perfectly chopped and the homemade tortillas, mouth watering. Run don’t walk!“

“I used to frequent the Aurora location, then I moved and realized my gluten intolerance. Decided to try this location again and requested a lettuce wrap instead of a bun for my favorite sandwich The Sizzler. They were nice to accommodate my request and it was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend“

“I go here before work and get concha’s and champurrado. My coworkers and I also love their tamales. Recently I accidentally left my wallet there and the good people who work there kept it safe with all my belongings and cash in place. A good business with great people behind the counter.“

“Kailey was a great server! She made the first time experience even better. My family of 3 loved this restaurant. The lunch food was delicious. Dessert even better. My 10 year old son who doesn't ever eat much when we go out, happily stuffed his face. It was a great day!“

“Always delicious! There’s something for everyone in my vegan family on the menu.“

“Very please with the service we received. We were sat at a hidden table not much attention but nick our server was very friendly and excellent service from much appreciated“

“This place is unreal -- especially for someone gluten free. I went in knowing zero about Burmese cuisine, but was walked through a series of dishes that have become instant classics that I crave: tofu gyaw, the tea salad, kyarzan thoke, chicken mango, and the goat curry. Do not sleep on this place! The food is fresh and meticulously prepared. The flavors are incredible and the portions filling. The staff are warm and engaging. 10/10 across the board.“

“I picked up food tonight and was fabulous to say the least. Also,.while I waited the staff was friendly and hospitable.“

“My sister Shelly Nagy purchased tickets to a Sunday afternoon drag brunch to celebrate my birthday! Marco not only held the door open for his guests, but he was also very kind and generous! He offered 2nd helpings (my only regret is that I did not indulge on that offer). Our meal was plentiful, delicious and presented beautifully! The bartenders cocktails (garnished w/ fresh flowers!) are pure elegance and his customer service skills are excellent! The drag show was a blast! The music was a hit (inside and out) and the upscale atmosphere will always have me anxiously waiting to come back soon! Thank you Marcos & Shelly for the most wonderful birthday celebration anyone will ever dream of! Gorgeous Downtown LaGrange is lucky to have Marco’s Kitchen! Take me back already!“

“The gm Stephan is amazing. Great experience and great good and service“

“If you’re looking for authentic ramen and exceptional service, Chicago Ramen is the place! Ty and his staff go above and beyond to make every guest feel special. The Tsukemen was unbelievably good — rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. I can’t wait to come back and try more items. Thank you, Ty, for making this such a great neighborhood gem!“

“delicious vegan options!!“

“I tried Vasco’s Peri Peri for lunch and was blown away by the Two Tenders Rice Bowl. Tons of flavor, generous portions, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It’s hard to beat a fresh, hot meal like this for under $11. Perfect quick lunch option Monday through Friday!“

“Wonderful, classy yet casual experience! Delicious!!!“

“Had an amazing lunch!!! Food selection is amazing. I wound up with the Tuna Poke Bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Our waitstaff was attentive to detail. I am not a big dessert person when I go out, but the Key Lime Pie was calling our names. SOOOOO good!!! Thank you for a great meal. We will be back very soon.“

“I got the StrawBeet smoothie and the asparagus soup and both were absolutely delicious!!! I love that their ingredients are organic and that they have vegan options as well!“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“Hubby and I went to dinner at Seasons 52 on Saturday, which we haven’t been to in a long time. I forgot how much I enjoy this restaurant. We sat in the bar and had a great server named Shawn. Shawn was engaging and provided great service. I’ll definitely request him next time I visit. I wasn’t drinking that night, but hubby solo’d it with a bourbon cocktail called a Paper Plane. He said it was very tasty, especially on the hot day.
We shared the ahi tuna tartare to start. The tartare was a stack of tuna with tropical salsa and avocado. So fresh. It came with a basket of crispy lavish bread, I hope when the restaurant switches their recipe that they will continue making a seedless lavish for those who can’t do nuts or seeds.
Hubby had the wood grilled tenderloin salad for dinner. I had to get a taste of that tenderloin because it was cooked perfectly. It was so tasty and seasoned well. I had the wood grilled Idaho rainbow trout, swapping out the asparagus for carrots. The trout came with a dill mustard sauce which I nixed and just squeezed fresh lemon on the fish. The fish was moist and smoky.
Of course, we had to get the little dessert shooters to end the meal. Hubby had the Belgian chocolate s’mores, which was ridiculously decadent. I had the more conservative raspberry cannoli dessert. These tiny sweet treats are delicious mini indulgences. I love them because you want something a little sweet at the end of a meal but don’t want a huge dessert. I think they’re perfect.
I like Seasons 52 because every item on the menu has the calories listed. Their food is always very good and the service is top-notch. When I ordered the tuna appetizer, a manager came over right away and asked me about a seed allergy because they noticed I said no nuts and seeds on my reservation. They really pay attention to their customers needs. I highly recommend Seasons 52.
Ask for Shawn!“

“Food and service fantastic. They were running behind with reservations but they comped us drinks an an appetizer...which is pretty unheard of these days. Rachel, our server, was phenomenal, I liked her so much I even asked her to help me "customize" my pasta dish, which she happily did (and it turned out great! The lobster diavolo but with vodka sauce...keeping the spice level.) Caesar salad good but not traditional...and missing anchovies (I know, I'm weird. Very fresh ingredients though.) We were a party of 6 and everyone loved their food. Reasonable prices too. Will definitely be back! Only wish it weren't so cramped inside.“

“We recently got married at The Elm this past weekend (10/13/2024) and can't express in words how satisfied we were with their service. Starting from the first day that we went to see The Elm we were treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. We had our ceremony in the Kensington room, and our reception in the Madison room. The atmosphere and vibe of both rooms was everything that we could hope for. The staff was incredible, the food/drinks were AMAZING, and our guests had nothing but positive feedback. WE HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS PLACE FOR A WEDDING AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT.“

“Great service, fantastic food, and I had a great time with my cousin there. The server was so helpful in explaining their combos and allowing us all the food combinations we wanted in a simplified manner. The boba smoothie was Devine too!“

“Ellyns has awesome food and a very friendly environment. Never had something I didn’t like, and can always find something new on the menu. Great drink menu and specials. Ellyns will always be a go to!“

“La mejor comida de todo lombard 🙂✌️“

“Came with a party of 8, and every one of us were satisfied and happy with what we ordered. Our Server was awesome, and the desserts oh my. Will definitely be making our way back from the southwest burbs“

“I never knew that Greek Islands had a location outside of old “Greektown” on Hasted in Chicago.

This place is great! Definitely a faithful clone of the original location.

The food is great - just like the Chicago location.

Only downside is that during the dinner rush on Saturday - this place is LOUD. The food is terrific. The service very friendly and efficient.

We will be back - but during quieter hours!“

“Had the best server tonight! Great service and personality. Thanks so much Paige!“

“Great venue and room for our wedding shower. Staff was on point and food was excellent!“

“After a week of travel for this Mom, the last thing I wanted to do was to make dinner. This isn't the first time we've been to Glen Prairie and I knew it was just the place I wanted to go. The atmosphere is warm, but quiet. Perfect for a good family catchup. The food is comforting without being too heavy and the wine, beer and cocktail selection is the perfect pairing. We've had the pleasure of being served by Anna a few times now and she does a great job. She is attentive and watchful, without being overbearing which is a difficult skill to master for a lot of servers. Aside from that, I love that it is a safe place for folks with food allergies and I feel very well taken care of in respect to that issue. I can tell that everyone from the hosts to the servers to the bartenders to the kitchen staff are very well trained in creating a safe and welcoming experience for each guest. Glen Prairie is quickly becoming one of our go to family favorite restaurants and we will definitely be back!“

“The food is always delicious, and the drinks are fun. I could hang out on the patio for hours. Emilio comes out to make sure everyone is happy. Just a very special place.“

“Lou Malnati’s was the venue for my mother’s 90th birthday party. We had 20 people. The manager was very informative, made planning very simple. The hosts were so kind and polite. The waitress was exceptional. The food was the typical excellent pizzas and salads. It was a great time by all.“

“The food was delicious! The drinks are fresh and new, and very well balanced. The best part of our experience was the staff! Each member was knowledgeable of the drink and dinner menu and made incredible recommendations. Overall, a wonderful evening out.“

“So good. Delicious, tasty and all kinds of yummy. Everybody at the restaurant was so nice and generous. I highly recommend this place. We come to the area once a year from Canada and I think we’ll have to make this an annual dinner.“

“We love the healthy food and the amazing owner.“

“Always a dining experience for my tastebuds. The service, the food, the ambience. You couldn’t ask for more. The sushi rice is, hands down, the best we’ve ever had. Questions answered, recommendations given, new adventures with unknown cuisine. This is our go to for the authentic taste of Japan.“

“The food is amazing and Berhane and her staff are kind and friendly. The kitfo with the homemade cheese is incredibly delicious. I try to get there whenever I get to Chicagoland. Thank you for the spice recommendations. Ethiopian Korerima is the best. I’m“

“Recently celebrated a 70th birthday with the D'Alexander family. What a great event. The staff could not have been nicer, and attentive. You only thought you might need something at the table and it would appear out of no where. The food was all home made and you could tell made from traditional old recipes and a lot of love thrown in. You feel like you are in a small cafe in Italy. If you want a great Italian dining experience please take the time to enjoy Made In Italy, because my wife and I plan to go back.“

“Passing through ORD, of course I'm going to get a Chicago dog. But even the best laid plans get sidetracked!

There are terminals you can order from, and while I was putting in my order, a staffer suggested their Maxwell Street hot dog (prepped by the amazing Oumar) - their only grilled offering! - and I couldn't resist. She was friendly and I went along with it.

Worth a visit if you're craving a hot dog and have a layover.

Credit accepted.“

“First time at Lola’s, first off holy cow they were busy however the staff did an amazing job! The service was on point taking into consideration that they were slammed the whole time we were there. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a good dining experience.“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“I had such a great time at Cuisine of India in Naperville. The food blew me away, everything was fresh, rich, and perfectly spiced, you can taste that it is made with care. The staff were so warm and attentive, they made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, perfect for a slow dinner with good people. This place has my whole heart, I will absolutely be back.“

“This is one of our favorite spots. Beautiful atmosphere. Food is always cooked to perfection. Our server Roger was attentive, friendly and efficient. Steaks, salmon, shrimp, crab all fresh and delicious. Appreciate manager Blake stopping by to ensure our evening was up to par. Already looking forward to our next visit. It's also a great idea to stop at the bar for after dinner drinks. Chris made everything we ordered perfect!“
