49 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Salem

“One of my favorites in the city. Love it! Try it!“

“My girls and I attempted to eat at the Salem retreat on our first morning of our trip. We waited 20 minutes for a table after watching 7-10 people be seat AFTER we were given a buzzer to wait. We left and came to Dotty & Rays. We got a table as soon as we walked in, had water brought over immediately, drink and food orders promptly taken. The food was fantastic. We had one part of our order missing and once they realized the issue, it was remedied with speed and courtesy. Everyone was very friendly and renewed our experience in Salem. We enjoyed it some much we came back this morning. This is the place to come to a good meal and pleasant experience to start your day. Come to Dotty and Rays!“

“We first found mercy tavern last October! We planned a quick trip again this year and it was on our list of places to return to! We absolutely love the atmosphere, food and amazing drinks! Can’t wait to go back.“

“The birria tacos where so good can’t wait to come back and they have really good service!!! 5 stars!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I just love this place, we make sure we visit every time we're in Salem. Great selection of Czech beers. Very accurate tasting notes on the beer menu. Plenty of seating inside and out.
I saw that they had pierogi on the menu, but I didn't get to try them on this most recent visit (definitely next time). 🇵🇱 🥟“

“Best breakfast we have EVER HAD!!!“

“A hidden gem, and wonderful spot in Salem!! Fabulous drinks, a wonderful story, and the greatest staff. Perfect spot for just about anything.“

“I am a huge fan of key lime pie and have sampled it at pretty much every opportunity. Each time, I find something that isn’t an A+. The crust is too grainy or crumbly, the bakery has added meringue (which I like on lemon but not lime), or—and this is the most common offender—there is entirely too much lime in the recipe. But the key lime pie I had at Caramel was exceptional in every possible way, especially in its balance of lime flavor. I didn’t try anything else there, so I can’t vouch for the macarons or other goodies, but if you love key lime pie, RUN to this bakery!“

“It was awsome, yummy and all of you very friendly - you are Great. Mans ist warm regards for Jacky from the two germans . Good Luck Kerstin“

“Highly recommend the pizza; it features all very fresh ingredients. The staff is very friendly and the environment is very comfortable! Great to bring the kids!“

“I used this place for lunch on a weekday. My husband and I enjoyed raw oysters, pizza, and tacos. We tried three different kinds of raw oysters, and all of them were fresh, flavorful, and excellent.

There was a mistake with the bill, but when we asked them to check it, the staff responded right away, so I rated the service a 5.

Being able to enjoy delicious food while looking out at the ocean made it a great memory. I think the atmosphere would feel different again in the evening or at night.“

“Amazing service! Great food and drinks! Antonio was AMAAAZZZING!!! He’s the best server ever!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“We met our son and two grandsons for Saturday morning breakfast. Food was good, fast, eggs done perfectly with not too much grease, and generous portions. Staff were excellent. Loved the meal.“

“Scott and his crew are a welcome staff to this place. Had an awesome toasted Italian today with some pizza and a few other items to boot. Great service, clean place, excellent food. Can’t wait to go back!! Good luck Scott, you’re going to kill it!!“

“They accommodated us as a large group (14) for an after wedding dinner during their busy October season. Food was great. Service was excellent! Serving size was good and price was surprisingly modest for our large group.“

“The service was very good and the food was overall enjoyable. The atmosphere in the back room could use some improvement, but it didn't take away too much from the experience. We especially loved the oyster appetizer special—everything else was great as well, with the exception of the duck special, which was much too sweet for our taste. Overall, we had a good experience and would definitely come back.“

“While visiting Salem I was super excited to try the Hocus Pocus flight, loved how there was an outdoor area and they even had a food vendor onsite! I brought my pup along for the trip and she was also welcomed with open arms and had a water bowl and a treat! If you’re visiting Salem this is a great place to stop, great vibes and friendly staff, plus pet friendly!“

“We were a few days late for Halloween in Salem so we decided to stop in at Longboards for a quick bite. Their flatbread pizza is excellent and the full service bar has it all. Friendly service and great food on the water at Pickering Wharf in Salem. We had lots of fun playing music trivia at the bar! Highly recommended.“

“Kokeshi is in residency with Bambolina (a wood-fired pizza joint, also delicious) and it's perfect! My husband and I (and our puppy, Dexter) stopped in for lunch on Wednesday and were treated to a wonderful meal with an awesome server and comfortable outdoor seating. I had the Spicy White Kimchi Ramen and my husband had the Margherita pizza. Both were amazing! I highly recommend stopping in when in Salem!“

“We had such a blast at your restaurant! The food was amazing and the drinks were out of this world! The staff were so nice and welcoming! We came in on Friday before closing and everyone was so nice! We so appreciated it! We can’t wait to come back when we visit! Best vegan pizza I ever had!“

“I’ve been a vegetarian for decades. The Babe has the best veggie burger I’ve ever had! Great service as well!“

“loved it . wait staff were very friendly and the food was good and healthy“

“I have no problem making the statement for all to read...This is the best pizza I ever had. I decided to get a steak sub today and it was the best sub I ever had. The people are friendly and professional. Seriously, I have had pizza everywhere and nothing comes close. I'm looking forward to trying everything.“

“My fiancé and I were craving oxtail and decided to order from this Jamaican restaurant—and let me just say, the food did not disappoint! The oxtail was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was seasoned so well and packed with flavor.

I forgot to grab the chef’s name, but whoever was behind the food that night deserves a big shoutout. You can tell there’s real love and skill going into the cooking here. We’ll definitely be ordering again—highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic, delicious Jamaican food! I was not able to take pictures but we will be back and let me not forget my beef patty- I ate it for lunch and it was perfect!“

“April’s II is a wonderful restaurant with a very friendly staff, great food with huge portions and reasonable prices. Special Thanks to Yulana our very friendly waitress.“

“Always a great time going in there and the food is always fabulous! My go to every time!“

“Great food and great service!“

“I’ve been here three times in the last two days. And I’m probably going to stop in a lot the next few days. The food is so good and allergy friendly. A great place for vegans. Good atmosphere and the servers are so nice and friendly.“

“Had a vegetarian burger which was good but kind of pricey.. Was bummed they were out or coleslaw when I came. I’d rank them decent for eco-friendliness.. I noticed they use plastic straws and condiment containers..
They did fulfill my request of no straw though.“

“They have the best pinball selection!“

“The name is true, the pizza really is amazing. Jacqui has great hospitality, a delicious sauce and cheese blend atop perfectly crunchy but never overcooked crust. The garlic bread sticks are also a favorite!“

“Great place to hang out… the girls behind the bar are awesome. Everyone is super friendly… go try it out…“

“Okay. I had a quick judgement that this place was going to be overpriced and not that good but I was craving chicken tenders they had a deal for 3 and fries. I was not prepared for how..... Crazy good they were going to be. The chicken strips were a great size and the fries were cooked and seasoned just right. I'm gonna put my foot in my mouth as I will be returning again for this. Great job“

“excellent food !!!!!!!!!!!! and staff“

“the food was great! love the wall art inside.“

“Food was delicious 🤤 and our waitress Tara was awesome!! First restaurant we went to at Salem and we were definitely impressed. The drinks were great as well.“

“Me and my family visited Salem yesterday for a little roadtrip, we come to Salem all the time (we are from New York). My sister mentioned that we go somewhere different to have lunch/dinner. We selected on The Counter, Ashley (hostess, waitress) charmingly greeted us and we picked a table to sit. The menu was very simple and had great selections. My sister and mother got the counter salad wrap, I got the Counter Burger, my daughter 12” cheese pizza and sister in law the grilled cheese. The amount of satisfaction being whispered out of our mouths…oh my god! Everyone’s food was absolutely delicious, we all voted that this will be our food place to eat every time we come to Salem. With the amount of hospitality, Kindness and attentiveness that Ashely gave to us, she was top notch! You have one AMAZING employee at The Counter. We can wait to come back, we would love to check out Hotel Salem one day. So all in all, myself and my family give The Counter a 10 out of 10, and we give Ashley a 10 out of 10!!!!“

“Food is delicious. I’ve had the soup and sushi here. Plus kudos to my waitress for making me laugh about the takeout for my husband. Well done, well done. 👏👏👏“

“Several dozen bagel varieties to choose from.

The menu selection for sandwiches has offerings for everyone. You can create your own sandwich with toppings of your choice.

As visitors, it was a bit hard to know where exactly to stand to place our order.

Know that this place is very busy!

Walk-in orders:
1. Online order pick ups: walk-in and pick up your order to the left of the registers
2. Express orders: far right side; ordee up to one dozen uncut bagels, cream cheese, coffee
3. Individual orders: form ONE LINE at the left hand register. Keep to the right side of the wall while queued up. You are assigned to a worker and not a specific register.

Place bagel orders first, any sandwiches, loose bagels, etc. Then they make your sandwich, then drink orders, then payment.

Seating inside may be limited. It all depends.

Parking lot holds ~18 cars; turn around may be fast. Do NOT park across the street at Salem State or you will be towed.

Highly recommend the sandwiches (lots of meat); I should have gotten the Rare Roast Beef but opted for the Sausage, Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich. VERY large and can feed two average people or enough for those that have a big appetite.

Large bagels!“

“Great place to listen to live music!!“

“Excellent Food!!!! Loved the Chicken Chow Mein. It was packed with fresh white chicken and veggies were perfectly cooked. The Pork Fried Rice was super fresh and had big pieces of fresh pork. The egg roll was huge and not greasy. Delicious!!!!!“
