12 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Madison

“My daughter and I went to downtown Madison to Christmas shop. I really didn’t want to drive up the hill and out of downtown for lunch, but it was worth the mile or two. The service was EXTREMELY friendly. The chef even opened the kitchen door in back where we parked to keep us from walking thru rain to front door. The salads were crispy fresh, selection was abundant and the sauce and toppings delicious. The pizza crust light and baked to perfection. We will be back!“

“This place is exceptional. The service, atmosphere and food is all fabulous. I was delighted to see such wonderful interesting and flavorful food. Hospitality at its best!“

“Always my go to restaurant when in town. Best Mexican food available in the area. Service is quick and with a smile ?“

“My cousin and I dined in on Sunday Aug. 3, 2025 for dinner. We shared the toasted ravioli and each had the amazing chicken parmesan. Our server was awesome but I'm afraid we didn't get her name. Y'all were very busy & while our appetizer came out quickly the entree's didn't but that was alright! She and I have both been in the food service business before...we get it! Our awesome server did choose to give us a discount for our long wait, which was very kind. We appreciated it! So thank you for amazing food, awesome service and extra kindness to some gals visiting your beautiful city!“

“Absolutely delicious! Had the Coconut Curry soup on special with a grilled cheese for dinner… best soup I have ever had in Madison!! I hope they put it on the fall/winter menu because I need it at least once a week!!“

“Update: It's still the best place for quality Chinese food. We have been coming here since 2017 and have never had a bad meal. Staff is always nice. Shop is always clean.

Previous review: Excellent food and great service. We have eaten here 5 separate times and the food has been fantastic every time. Highly recommend the food here; take out or dine in.“

“Great place to eat. Were seated by the backyard window where there's a nice view of the yard and trees. Food was very good and very generous helping. Well pleased and will return for lunch specials again. Very good and polite service also. Very clean.“

“As a 23-year-old just starting to learn about wines, visiting Thomas Family Winery in Madison, Indiana was such a cool and welcoming experience. The owner is incredibly passionate about what he does—you can tell he truly loves sharing not just the wine, but the history and story behind each bottle. He took the time to explain things in a way that didn’t feel intimidating, which made it easy to ask questions and actually learn. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic, and it feels like you’re hanging out with friends even if it’s your first time there. Everyone I met was super friendly and down-to-earth, which made the whole visit feel special. If you’re new to wine like me, this is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to keep learning.“

“Great atmosphere and awesome craft beer! This place has music every week featuring awesome local musicians!“

“On a recent girl's trip to Madison we wanted to support local small businesses and chose Boneyard for some local BBQ. Shelia was our server and had great recommendations. We had great food & service!“

“Excellent sushi! The "hibachi bar" is okay but there are a couple types of veggies I really like in my stir-fry that they don't have (but that's just a personal preference, they do have a lot of choices).
There is a wide range of choices of hot food with Chinese and American options so the kids can have a slice of pizza while you're enjoying General Tso's chicken over fried rice.
The cold bar has some offerings for making a salad as well as hard-boiled eggs (something I enjoy but generally don't see on buffets), fruit, pudding, and mussels and boiled shrimp.
There are a couple choices of cakes, cookies, and 8 kinds of hand-dipped ice cream for dessert.
For the price, there's no beating this buffet.

Parking: The restaurant is in a strip mall, so there is a large parking lot that is technically for all the stores, but there's always plenty of parking close to the restaurant.“
