50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Louisville

“Amazing food with lots of options. I have enjoyed the burgers and chicken sandwiches!! The tots are delicious 🤤 and so flavorful!! I love the milkshakes with some added vanilla liqueur!! I highly recommend them even if you’re not vegan 🌱 I promise you will love it!!“

“Dined here in early July. The food is to die for (especially a curry-style dish on the menu when we visited), the service is excellent (and not too hurried), and the ambiance is charming. The bread is also out of this world. The wine pairings also nicely complement the food, and the desserts are definitely worth having (especially the drunken banana cake). It is one of the nicest special occasion restaurants in Louisville. One caveat of interest to certain diners is the restaurants lax policy on pets. When we dined there, another table came in with a small dog. It wasn't a service or support dog because the diners kept passing it around the table, and even that table's server petted it. The dog's presence didn't bother us (it was well-behaved and quiet), but I could see some diners not enjoying dinner with a dog at the next table.“

“Amazing food and service! If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food, The Charcoal Restaurant is a must try!“

“This place is awesome!! The food is great the vibe is also but the people are even better!! My server Jolene was just perfect very attentive and on top of it!! Will for sure be coming back!!“

“We always enjoy our experiences at Volare’. Fresh seafood dishes flown in each Friday for another one of their exquisite seafood entree’s. Large portions are in order and our favorites are the steak with bourbon glaze and salmon with a hot pepper sauce. Don’t forget to order their decadent desserts, even if you take it to go. Caring staff that make certain that your visit is flawless.“

“Had an amazing experience at The Mayan Cafe! Their food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I also really appreciated how accommodating they were with allergies. The staff was knowledgeable and made sure everything was safe for me. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back.“

“My server Amanda on a scale 1-10 she was a 10! I was satisfied with her appearance an he approach she's great she handles everything wonderful! Customer satisfaction!“

“While visiting my friends they recommend Havava Rumba for dinner and I had never eaten at a Cuban restaurant so of course I was instantly interested. As soon as we walked in and I saw the 57 Chevy front end as the reception desk I knew it was going to be an amazing experience. The atmosphere was great and the live music really set the mood. We ordered the queso and plantain chips for our appetizer and what an amazing started that was, I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves queso and plantain chips. For my main course I chose the Vaca Frita. The beef was very tender and full of flavor. The plate was well put together and paired with black beans and roasted plantains. All I can say it absolutely amazing and I wish there was a Havana Rumba back in North Carolina.“

“Gigantic slices that are delicious! If I lived in Tullahoma I would eat here everyday.“

“If you’re looking for an authentic taste of India in a warm and inviting atmosphere, Shalimar Indian Restaurant is a must-visit! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant decor and the spicy aroma wafting through the air set the stage for an exceptional dining experience.

The menu is extensive, offering a delightful array of traditional dishes that cater to both carnivores and vegetarians alike. We started with the samosas, which were perfectly crisp on the outside with a flavorful spiced potato filling that left us eager for more. For the main course, we opted for the butter chicken and the paneer tikka masala, both of which were rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The naan was freshly made – fluffy and perfect for scooping up the delicious sauces.

What really stood out was the attentive service. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful recommendations based on our taste preferences. The overall atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, making it a great spot for a casual dinner or a special occasion.

Don’t forget to try their mango lassi for a refreshing complement to your meal! Overall, Shalimar Indian Restaurant exceeded our expectations and I can’t wait to return to explore more of their offerings. Highly recommended for anyone craving a true Indian culinary experience!“

“We went to the barrel room for Angels Envy 5 course meal pairing. Master distiller Owen was excellent in his choices of pairing, his conversation and manner. Chef selections, quality and presentation were spectacular. We've enjoyed Repeal in the past and will definitely be back“

“I’ve been a few times to Better Blend and I have to say the last time I went was to the Louisville location. It was by far my favorite, the staff were very friendly, and the menu items we tried were the best I have had yet!! The business was very clean, and it made me feel even better about picking the healthy food options we had ( I had the peanut butter Oreo for the first time and it really hit the spot!) I recommend if you are in the area and looking for a fresh crisp healthy choice stop by and give it a try!“

“This place is a 10/10! The atmosphere and staff were AMAZING!! We came to Louisville for the day to find my wedding dress. After I said yes to the dress we decided to try Mussel and Burger Bar! They made my day 1000x extra special, took care of my food and drinks, and even gave me a platter of desserts to try! We are coming back to Louisville for my bachelorette and we will definitely be visiting this place again! The seafood burger was also delicious!“

“We loved the friendly service, great food and quick food delivery. We had the chicken biscuit with gravy and omelet plus bloody marys and coffee. Thank you- we will return!!“

“Fresh, homemade, delicious healthy food. Obsessed with the soup, lamb kabobs and grilled veg! Owner is a lovely altruistic man. Highly recommended!!❤️❤️❤️“

“I have had several of the Middle Eastern menu items multiple times. Without a doubt it’s one of the best places here in Louisville. If not the best. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are healthy. I need to try some of the Italian dishes. The owner used to work in a top rated Italian restaurant for 17 years.“

“Tried this for the first time today and loved it! Just when I felt there were no new interesting spots in downtown Louisville, a friend recommends InSeason. Yes! Wonderfully flavored and very friendly service by all. They moved fast and kept the place hopping. Very clean, too! Love the farm to table options. We will be back!“

“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.“

“Me and my family have come here for years, always perfect.“

“We were greeted by friendly service,, and the food was delicious.“

“i follow a blogger on youtube that travels the world. he is visiting Ethiopia and through watching it learned that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee.

“Service was good and he was friendly. I took off one star because he asked if we were celebrating anything and we had a birthday and two anniversaries and then he I guess forgot. The food was good. I ordered the special which was a flat iron steak. I ordered medium it came out rare so they did take that back and recook it. The steak was tender and seasoned really good. The drinks and food were all delicious a the ambiance is authentic feeling.“

“I have tried Indian food a couple times before (years ago), and did not like it. My husband loves Indian food, so we tried this restaurant for dinner. I cleaned my plate! Shrimp Tandoori was delicious, Naan, Tandoori Rito, Lamb Saag, Basmati Rice, Samosas, even the Chutney was wonderful, and let’s not forget Mango Lassi. The staff is also very friendly and attentive; we cannot wait to come back.“

“My BF and I were amazed by this place! We now refer to it as "the market" and plan on coming back many times!“

“This place is fantastic! I was recently in Louisville for a conference and went here for breakfast every morning, usually with work colleagues. The empanadas were excellent, the tea and coffee was great, the service was helpful and friendly, and the restaurant was spotless. In particular, there was an exceptionally wide variety of empanadas to choose from. If you like empanadas, this is the place in Louisville!“

“Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. The tomato bisque was great!

To note though, you may wait in a long line if you come with a large group of people. This place doesn't have server to come get your order and you need to order in the front.“

“Honestly, Home Cuisine is the best. I don't cook anymore, and have tried EVERY prepared meal company. Some are good, some are awful, but Home Cuisine consistantly wonderful.“

“So much easier on our emotions than visiting a shelter, so you can interact with the fur babies and relax until you reach a decision. Great coffee from Quill's Coffee and yummy snacks! Amazing volunteers who help to make the entire experience very relaxed and chill.“

“Love the food, every dish we have had was excellent and the coffee..the best!!“

“loved the Caesar salad!! Marg. Pizza was also great.“

“We had an incredible dinner at Eden & Kissi for my son’s birthday. The Curry Chicken was rich and perfectly spiced, and the smoked Red Snapper was absolutely wonderful—flaky, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. What made the experience even more special was the staff. They were so lovely and welcoming, it genuinely felt like we were being invited into their home. Their warmth and attentiveness made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic flavors and heartfelt service. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Excellent selection of breakfast offerings including for those with dietary concerns. Fair prices for quality food. Friendly, professional, accomodating staff. Clean and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere... First time at a First Watch... definitely won't be the last!!!“

“Absolutely amazing lunch in Louisville!! Very friendly and kind people! The food is all from scratch and locally grown. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The Fat Lamb was fantastic in every way. It was a true culinary delight. We had a large group, so we were able to sample multiple appetizers and entrees. They were all fantastic. Some highlights included the whipped feta dip, truffle fries, cauliflower, and meatballs for appetizers. For entrees, more than half of our group had the lamb chops. The lamb chops were sensational - the best lamb dish I've ever had and one of the top 10 dishes of my life. The service was great as well. The restaurant is not inexpensive, but it is well worth the money. Thank you for a wonderful evening we will remember.“

“My sister and I had lunch at Ramsi’s today. The crispy pedal salad is consistently delicious. I highly recommend it. The entrée that I ordered today was good but the chicken was overdone. Ramsi the owner came out to apologize and made it more than right for us . TOP NOTCH CLASS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE! Thanks Ramsi we will definitely be back.“

“You won't regret it! Delish!“

“Ate there for the first time, today. Wow! I was blown away by the amazing food. 5🌟!“

“Christie's is an adorable roadside Cafe with vintage vibes.
But more than that, the food was absolutely scrum-diddly-umptious!
I had a bowl of beans with big ole chunks of ham in it and some omg- good- corn cakes.
There was one point when I was sitting there happy as a clam holding a fried green tomato in one hand and a spoon of beans in the other!
Holy hotcakes Batman! If you haven't made it to Christie's yet, why , for the love of pie, not?!“

“This was one of the best tasting breakfasts we’ve ever had and that’s saying a lot since we are in our mid-50s. My husband ordered the mushroom grits and I had the eggs and grains. Delicious! It won’t be easy to top. Also, we had one iced and one hot Kentucky coffee. They were both delicious but the hot one rated just a touch above the cold one.“

“Great food and friendly service.“
