50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near St. Matthews

“Great fun night with friends“

“I haven't been here in probably 10years. I remember the pizza, particularly the crust being top notch. I believe they've changed the recipe, though it was still very good. I hated that they didn't have a menu, we had to scan the little code on our phone to see what to order and worse we had to scan a separate little code to see the drinks, so I went with water and bypassed one scan. Otherwise, there weren't really any complaints. It was quite busy. Everyone seemed friendly enough and it was your typical sports bar without much memorabilia on the walls. The food was good, ok portions, average prices.“

“I go to the one on Hubbard's Lane and this is the best pizza in the city.“

“Great dim sum experience, I can see why it is Louisville’s favorite! The crispy duck was divine!“

“spending time with my daughter and her friend laughing joking around.“

“delicious food, large portions, perfectly prepared. amazing staff.“

“Food was amazing and I will be going back“

“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!!“

“My kids love eating here and so do I! We also love to pick up the family meal and take it home on a busy night. The staff are all so kind and friendly!“

“Amazing tour from Bill. He was equally funny and knowledgeable, which isn't something you always get on Distillery tours. Felt less like a script he was following and more like knowledge he was clueing us into. And the drinks were great!!“

“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.“

“There are several locations in Louisville, but the Middletown location is my favorite. It’s always a happy place with live music and an entertaining vibe. The steak chimichurri is my favorite dish, and their Cuban sandwich is delicious.“

“It's rare that we have a date night on a weekday with two young children, but tonight was the exception. When I realized our anniversary was falling on a Wednesday, Perso was the first place that came to mind. Perso's Prix Fixe Menú is available every Sunday through Wednesday and offers a three course meal for $29. It's no secret that I'm a fine dining enthusiast; but who doesn't love a bargain? If you're looking for a nice night out without breaking the bank, this is your spot. Perso sits at the corner of Oak and Shelby in the same location as the former Square Cut Pizza. The giant windows in the front provide an abundance of natural light. The interior has a modern industrial vibe with painted exposed brick, plants, and Edison bulbs hanging on pendants. One wall with wooden slats gives a Scandinavian feel to the main dining area. It's a small-ish intimate space with a beautiful patio. For my first course, I chose Crostino Di Tonno- olive oil poached tuna, stracciatella, pickled celery, and Calabrian chili. I followed my first course with olive oil poached swordfish, corn chowder, and golden zucchini scapece. For dessert, I had the chef's choice: apple strudel with whipped cream cheese. My husband chose heirloom tomato with roasted eggplant, bagna couda, and fine herbs. For his main course, he had pork tenderloin with edamame, beef dashi, and fine herbs. We both opted for the chef's choice for dessert. I tasted each of his courses and they were every bit as delicious as my own. The edamame provided the perfect texture and his tenderloin dashi tasted gravy-esque without being overly heavy. Mostly notable, besides the insane deal for such decadence, was the fresh flavor combinations throughout. Our table had fresh rosemary as a centerpiece. The corn chowder was right up my alley. I could've licked my bowl if I wasn't trying to pretend to have a bit of class. The swordfish was tender, juicy, and not overly fishy. The tuna flatbread was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The mint on top of my whipped cream cheese truly set it apart. My lavender Manhattan was earthy and smoky, not just in flavor. It was literally smoking. My husband had an old-fashioned. Neither of us were disappointed. Our server, Amanda, was phenomenal. She offered recommendations. She visited our table to ensure we were satisfied the perfect number of times. Her warm demeanor was professional while also being personable. She was everything we hope for in a server. Perso's Sunday through Wednesday Prix Fixe Menú is hands-down one of the best opportunities for an affordable night out. That being said, once you get a taste of what they have to offer, you'll be sold on splurging any day of the week.“

“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!!“

“First time taking this distillery tour and have added it to my “Not to be missed tours”. It was a great example of a modern working distillery in a historic building. Their operation was impressive from grinding to bottling. Our tour guide Bobbi was great! She was knowledgeable and made the tour fun. The tasting paired with several different chocolates was amazing!“

“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!“

“Quaint, quiet, couple atmosphere nice drinks I will be back“

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

“Simply the best Indian food in the state of Kentucky, family owned, and simply the best Indian food I’ve had outside of Mumbai. If you live in Louisville, do yourself a favor and come here. Also the mango lessi is delicious! I had their non-vegetable thali and my Girlfriend got samosas, Chicken 65, and garlic naan. The portions are so big that I got leftovers for two days. And also, there’s spice level is what their spice level exactly says. I got the three and I was sweating and loving it. Probably don’t wanna get the 5* unless you’re real Indian Or you have very adventurous taste buds. I would give them a 10 out of five if I was able to do so. Do yourself a favor and come to Shalimar!“

“Service, food and atmosphere.“

“Had a pharmaceutical event there today and the service was top notch ! Great food and the drinks are fantastic 🍷“

“Louisville staple! Delicious fish and fries. The fish is thick and not too much breading. Definitely get your moneys worth! Don’t forget to get the onions on your sandwich. So good! Look forward to it every year on Saturdays. Make sure you get there before they run out!!“

“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.“

“I did the ‘Evan Williams Traditional Tour & Bourbon Tasting’ the host/guide was Mark from Indiana (I forgot his last name initial). The tour was better than what I expected it to be it had a good balance of just an overview of how the bourbon is produced for those who do not know but I liked the history about Evan Williams himself and some of the significant events that occurred around the time the bourbon started to be produced. Mark also gave some history of the city as well which I thought was cool and informative too. He also gives good suggestions on which bourbons can only be purchased there or at a distillery which was helpful. The one that they produce for the Japanese market is 🔥 in case anyone was wondering 😊“

“My friend and I went to the Rabbit Hole distillery for a tour and tasting. Upon arrival, we were offered a complimentary choice of a drink between an Old Fashioned and a sample of their five grain double chocolate malt. The chocolate malt was quite delicious. Our tour guide, Jenn, was great and extremely knowledgeable and informative. The Rabbit Hole distillery is a modern and beautiful facility. The tastings are not conducted at the end like most tours, but throughout the experience. I liked the way they conducted the tasting, as it provided more opportunities to discuss the spirits. They had plenty of great spirits to try, and we were very happy with everything.“

“We were sat promptly and had wonderful service throughout our stay. Our waitress, Danielle, was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and accommodating. Jasmine and John were wonderfully attentive to our needs, clearing plates and refilling drinks. The food was deliciously prepared. Highly recommend the house dessert! Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience!“

“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.“

“We’ve been here so many times and have always loved it.

Tonight, we tried to just our fantasy football draft with them but our league failed to show. We’d planned on 15 but not even half showed up. But this team still honored their fantasy football draft party for us - gave us a TV to watch the game we wanted (and this went way beyond the call of service) and they still honored their discounts.

We had actually no idea they did these thing for fantasy football drafts, so if you are drafting soon. You need to go here! Last minute. Amazing management and waitress staff.

We love bungalows and will forever be customers.

Killed it guys. Amazing work.“

“We were in town for the Zach Bryan concert at L&N stadium. This little gem is just down the street. Gyros were delish and loved the sauce! Fries were hot and fresh! Staff so welcoming and friendly. We will be back next time we are in Louisville!“

“The outside is pretty unassuming, but the inside is simple, roomy, and clean. I had the fresh spring rolls with pork and shrimp, and they were easily a 10/10. The pork was tasty, well seasoned, and slightly sweet.

I also had the pho with beef and tendon. I’d give it an 8/10—only knocking off two points because the portion wasn’t as large as I’ve had at some other places, but it was still filling. The tendon was especially good and tasted very fresh.

Service was fast. I went around 3:30 on a Friday, and there were only two other groups there, so it wasn’t too busy. Highly recommend.

PHOTO attached. I ate one spring roll before I took a photo.“

“Man you can’t beat this food! The food is made with love and everything I’ve had is awesome! Owner is amazing and friendly and treats everyone like a friend! Please try this place and enjoy !!“

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

“Food was the winner of this stop. Quite the surprise to find tasty cuban food in Kentucky. The service was pretty good and attentive. The atmosphere is a bit chaotic. Surprisingly a LOT of kids on the day we went and there was a live singer. It was really loud. Depending on how you view those categories, it can add or subtract from your rating!“

“Really nice bar with a great atmosphere.“

“20 years at the playhouse and tonight’s dinner was the worst! The sides were half cooked and not the usual The salad bar was depleted and the choices were wilted looking like leftovers. The salad bar looked like the scene of a food fight. Gross! How is in charge now? Great fried chicken and fish as usual. So disappointing“

“Mmmmmmmmm barrel strength bourbon“

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

“Great food and friendly service.“

“The menu prices are outdated. Add roughly $2.45 for the sandwiches and the combos. The brownies are now $2.50.“

“great appeal, friendly service! food was okay but didn't like the tomato jelly on the burger. Will def omit that next time or try something new! overall, a good experience!“

“Amazing food and quality service!!“

“My number 1 go to for fish here in Louisville. I've tried it all. Service is amazing, food portions are great for the price. love seeing the river in the spring time. The only negative is the parking. Hey it's worth the wait!“

“Absolutely delicious food, at a great price, and served by a very friendly gentleman in a bright and very clean space. We tried the meat sampler, mushroom tibs plate (mild) , and an order of lentil sambusa. I recommend all of the items we ordered.... the sides were all amazing as were the main items. We left beyond stuffed!“

“Delicious food! Exceptionally friendly, attentive service! Lots of vegan options.“
