50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Lexington

“Zen Sushi is by far the best sushi spot in Kentucky. Chef is amazing at ensuring that the flavor experience is unmatched. Very pleased!“

“An absolutely amazing restaurant, hands down! The food is incredible, the staff is very helpful & friendly, the atmosphere itself gives you that New Orleans feel. I’ve been visiting this restaurant with my dad for several years now. Bourbon n’ Toulouse is without a doubt one of our all time favorites.“

“Such great food, friendly staff and we will be back.“

“Jeff Ruby's is about more than good food, it's an experience. My husband and I have been loyal customers for over 10 years. We drive nearly 2 hours 1 way, sometimes multiple times a month, just to eat here. We have visited every restaurant except the Columbus location. The steak is always amazing but it's the service that really puts these restaurants over the top for us. Lexington is our favorite location because Jon Wright works there and he's the best!“

“The folks working at Agave and Rye are super friendly and very helpful. The food was fantastic.“

“Literally the best place in Lex!!! Food is amazing, staff is friendly!“

“Best food, portions, price and service.“

“We had a reservation, which was confirmed via email. When we arrived, not able was available. We got seated and our waitress just didn't show up. I drank my Heineken, waited and waited some more for about 20 minutes. I finally flagged down a person who kindly offered to get our waitress for us. No complaints with service after that. The food was good. However, do not order tuna tartare. I don't know what minced meat it was made from but it was not ahi tuna. It was a mixture of red spicy something, cut with crispy rice. No scallions. I even thought it was salmon at first? The waitress asked the chef and came back with assurances that it was not salmon. I don't know what it was but don't order it. I also had a few pieces of sashimi. White tuna was amazing (you get 3 pieces per order), but smoked salmon came in a weird portion. It was string cut into 6 strings. And when I say strings, I mean imagine a box of matches, cut lengthwise. I had 6 pieces of that. It tasted good, I just didn't know what happened to the rest of it. Everything else was fine. Maybe I just hit on the wrong items that night? I'm not sure. But I will probably not go back.“

“Wonderful food, great service, and a good variety! We love it here!“

“Great pizza, amazing small business owner highly recommend, best wings in town“

“We loved our experience on a tour of the James E. Pepper Distillery! Great bourbon, excellent stories, and a unique look at the process in which the bourbon is made. Highly recommend for someone looking for an under-the-radar bourbon distillery tour!“

“wonderful experience until we got to our car to go home, Despite circling the area several times and finding a parking spot that we thought was good (neither of us could find that this was a paid spot) we had a ticket!! I disputed it to no avail so unfortunately we will go to those restaurants where we can find a parking spot! So unfortunate!“

“Cole’s is a beautiful dining experience with educated staff and a lovely menu!“

“My favorite spot around the campus area, love to bring all my friends here. The potato korokke and dol sot bi bim bab are perfect!“

“Great benefit location… ❤️❤️“

“First visit to their new location - quiet, funky and laid-back spot for delicious, eye-watering Cajun/Fusion; Tammy's Thai Peanut is definitely choice! ??? Also, I could go through a gallon of Stingin' Honey in little more than a month - it's addictive! ?

Vegetarian options: Tammy's Thai Peanut Etouffee w/ peppers, baby-corn, etc. is the featured veg entree (its great!), but there are a couple more.“

“All I can say is that I was blown away. We are staying in an airbnb basically next door and did not realize that this was the brewery that makes Kentucky bourbon barrel ale.

We were served by a few folks, but primarily their visitor center manager Ben, and had an AMAZING experience. This is a 10/10 worth while visit.“

“We made a reservation on a friend's recommendation and the food was outstanding. Curry fritter, spicy pork and bigogi were stellar. The ginger tea is fresh pressed from the root and delightful. We will be back to this hidden gem. It's off the beaten track. Can't say enough good things about it.“

“Excellent Food, Service and Staff!!!“

“Today my bestie and I tried Korean BBQ for the first time and it was AMAZING!!! First off the staff (I didn’t get the young ladies name) was BEYOND amazing she helped us choose our food and showed us all that we needed to do with cooking our own food. She was super sweet. The food was freaking amazing! We had the meat and seafood. Our first time trying squid and it was pretty good. We felt warm and welcomed here and it was truly an authentic experience. We definitely plan on returning to try more things.“

“Great place for breakfast/ brunch.!!!! Lots of great choices!! Come to Mississippi please 😄“

“I had an absolutely amazing time this evening! The atmosphere was the perfect blend of industrial and casual, creating such a cool and inviting vibe. The food was incredible—I had the pizza, which was delicious, and paired it with a #23 strawberry hard cider that was just perfect. Fred, the bartender, was fantastic—so personable and helpful in guiding my selections. His recommendations made the experience even better. I truly had such an enjoyable evening and can’t wait to come back!“

“This place has the best steak you will ever put in your mouth.! Thank you Smitty for all the great food and fun times we had there with my late cousin Mark Sugg“

“I first tasted Wise Bird Cider at the GOSHEN TAPROOM, right on the edge of Metro Louisville. It’s on tap and in cans! The Pomme Pomme Cider is SO DELICIOUS! The others are great too, but the PP is my favorite. If you can’t make it to Lexington (an amazing place to visit), make the shorter trip to Goshen.“

“Very Good food and service.“

“I have eaten at Ramsey’s many times, most of my orders are to go during the winter months and spring and summer I eat inside. Sometimes there is a wait time for seating but it is worth waiting for. The food was great! The staff was great and the prices were acceptable. I didn’t wait too long for my food and it was delicious! It was enough to fill me up and then I had enough to take home. I tell people at work if you want great food, go to Ramsey’s! I recommend this restaurant! Thank you B.“

“This was my second time here. Their food is delicious. I took the server's recommendation and had the red fish. It was wonderful. We had the shrimp as an appetizer and it was the best shrimp I've ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“One team member said: "Winchell's Restaurant and Bar is a Lexington classic sports bar with people-pleasing food for the entire crew. Whether it's game day snacks and drinks or a big family breakfast, this busy restaurant offers big portions, great service, and is a Lexington staple for a reason. "“

“A hidden gem in plain sight. Great food, service and a tremendous Bourbon, etc selection. Prices are also easy on the wallet.“

“Harry’s Twin Filets (+ side) is hard to beat for the price ($27.99). Somehow the food seems to get better with each visit. Had the pleasure of being served by Caleb tonight, awesome UK student working his second straight year for BHG. Also worth noting: you can order from both the Harry’s & Malone’s menus while dining at Harry’s!“
