50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Riverdale Park

“From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome. Everyone was friendly, professional, and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The BBQ was tender, seasoned just right, and packed with flavor. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food. Highly recommend“

“The bulguogi steak sandwich is simply divine! Marinated steak, cheese, & kimchi on deliciously toasted bread. So good! More sweet than spicy.

I've also had the Bahn mi it was also good (bulguogi is still the best).“

“The best taco spot around.“

“What a find! Great food, lovely place and location, and Rosario (who seemed to be staffing the dining room on an early Friday afternoon in June by herself) was on top of everything. Fun to watch the trains roll by out the east picture windows (but they weren't noisy). Crab risotto balls and chocolate bombe were excellent, as was the cafe Americano. Our party of five tried quite a bit of the menu and all were pleased. Prices were lower than inferior stuff you'd get in DC. This one's a keeper.“

“we loved Burton's in Riverdale Park, MD! food was delicious and very accommodating to allergens. extensive gluten free menu including wings, fried calamari, pasta, crispy fish, crab cakes, and more. everything was delicious and our server was super nice as well. wish there was one of these in Union County, NJ! So amazing to know all their food is made from scratch 👍👍“

“Delicious Bahn Mi! Love the brisket tacos and spring rolls and pho too! Really haven’t had anything that I didn’t love.“

“Nice place! Good service good food. Nice riverdale park location“

“This location was very clean and the food was tasty. I purchased a salad and a large pizza. I was happy that the sauce was flavorful and all the ingredients were fresh. The team members here were friendly and fast. I haven't had MOD Pizza, since returning from a trip to Seattle. But this location was very good. I plan on going back for sure!“

“We visit whenever we’re in DC for work. The food is always terrific. Paul from Austria was our server last weekend… he had such joy and positive energy ☀️ We’ll be back soon!“

“The 12-course prix-fixe made for a memorable special occasion meal. At $135 pp, quite a splurge, but can imagine the 6-course version is also quite satisfying. Each dish was presented in an interesting way -- with coins and currency, art by Colombian painter Botero, on stones and cactus slices, paper, etc. Even the check returned inside a book. Each was so tasty we couldn't pick a favorite. Staff was intimate and friendly, explaining every dish, without being intrusive. Aficionados might appreciate the extensive and varied wine list (also not cheap), though we were no experts. Also close to Metro (8-min. walk), which we always appreciate.

“Such a fun experience during our trip to DC. All the items we choose were outstanding and different . It was the highlight of our rainy day .“

“Amazing! The staff was welcoming from the moment you walk in the door!! And the..Food was globally inspired with a twist, and beautifully displayed. Truly felt like a gift to stumble upon this establishment!!“

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!“

“We went to I egg you this past Sunday and the food was AMAZING 🤩 then got proposed to right after eating.. best experience 💜“

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!“

“The best vegan dining experience I’ve ever had, and “I’ve been around the block”. From the time I walked in the door and was greeted by the hostess, from the server, the sommelier, the food, ambiance- everything was perfect. The food was unique, and delicious. (even my non vegan friend loved it) however, the presentation and service is what put the cherry on top. Just a one of a kind dining experience that will be very hard to top.“

“Went to Kitchen +Kocktails for the first time last night. The decor was very nice, and the music was good and not obnoxious. Our server Ally was terrific! I’m not a drinker, so when I asked her if there were any cocktails that didn’t taste like alcohol, I thought she would look at me like I was crazy, but she didn’t! She seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and immediately had a couple of suggestions. I went with the mixed berry lemon drop and it was perfect for me. The crab cake appetizers and shrimp and grits with lobster tail entree were amazing. We had a great time and we’ll be back!“

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.“

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“All of my experiences at L’Ardente have been phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch!!!“

“BRING BACK THE CEVICHE DE PULPO PLEASE!!!!“

Thank you to your entire team!😍“

I give them 10 stars .Wonderful music and good energy. They are knowledgeable about the nutrients amd benefits of all dishes. I love y’all ❤️“

“Amazing dishes. Chive cakes, marigold, Laos wine, the butterfly and hummingbird were delicious. The presentation on the pla tong ma was almost as good as the flavor. Aim helped us choose our dishes and provided excellent service.“

“Finding a Filipino restaurant isn’t easy. So learning about Purple Patch thru Jo Koy—has ended this search! Literally, Filipino cuisine heaven! The restaurant is uniquely decorated, the staff were friendly, & the food hit that major comfort button for us! Thank you Zahara for being so sweet & a wonderful waitress. We can’t wait to come back for more!“

“Delicious, delectable, outstanding. Service topnotch!“

“Dining at Albi was a special experience. We were lucky enough to book the Hearth table and watched the kitchen interact and prepare the food. The warmth and hospitality of the staff, not just with the diners, but with each other was sincerely heartwarming. Every dish was amazing and there was not a single thing we disliked. My personal favorites were the crab, dates and lamb with cinnamon. This is probably one of my favorite Michelin experiences and Albi deserves all the accolades given to it and more.

Edit to add: they had the best morning after goodie bag of all the Michelin restaurants!“

“La comida deliciosa, pero los empleados no están bien adiestrados para el servicio al cliente The food is delicious, but the employees are not well trained in customer service.“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“I think Old Ebbitt Grill are one of the best grill joints around Washington and they got the most warmed atmosphere and I also enjoyed their service a lot. Their waitress and waiters are well trained with great sense of humor and they always smile to their customers/buyers.. You all can give it a try and thank me later hehe 😜“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“Walked in… No reservation… seated quickly and as soon as I spoke my food was on the table… LITERALLY!!! Weam was amazing! The service was beyond exceptional… the manager DeShawn was keeping the ship tight and running smoothly, the food is definitely a 10/10 and that mimosa tower was towering…. Milk and Honey is definitely a Vybe… I highly recommend you visit it if you haven’t as of yet… I FORSURE will be back!!!!“

“Incredible experience. Will be returning.“

“got a reservation last second in december so i could check out the holiday decorations after hearing of the restaurants history from a TikTok!! worth visiting for the vibes, and the free shots of amaretto!“

“They have the best Indian food I've ever had in my life it's definitely one of my favorite restaurants I wish I could afford to go more often I especially love their curry I would definitely recommend this restaurant so good 10/10 I'm going to ask my boyfriend to take me there this weekend I'm so excited“

“Absolutely incredible food. Our Lyft driver recommended we try it, now I'm sad we live 4 hours away from some of the best pizza I've ever had.“

“Wonderful place to spend a night. Server was kind and charitable and the food came quickly and the flavor and portions were great. Recommend the meat combo with honey wine, it's a must, and baclava for dessert, which is served warmed like a piece of pie. Shewa is a fantastic little getaway for great Ethiopian food that seems as yet untapped.“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“
