50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Old Orchard Beach

“What a great find! Booked a table after reading the reviews. The meal was perfect, the new to us cocktail was potent and delicious, the servers were amazing, the owner was gracious. Thank you Barb, Dot and Dawn. We will be returning next year at the same time to celebrate my 70th!! Seems it will only allow 1 picture.“

“Great restaurant by the beach. Awesome food with a great variety in their menu. Recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. I recommend getting the fried whole belly clams. They were wonderful. Loved the bucket special as well!“

“Impossibly wonderful food and vibe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We popped into Central Provisions today on our stay in Portland and I was blown away by this restaurant. It was a very intimate, beautiful space with amazing flavor. Our server, Andy, made the experience. They were very kind and made dining with an allergy a breeze. Do not skip Central Provisions when you come to Portland!

Dietary restrictions: Their allergen menu is wildly helpful. It's color coded and makes it very clear what is and is not safe, and whether or not an allergen can be removed from the dish. I have a severe nut allergy and I felt completely safe eating here.“

“The Gelato Fiasco was a nice surprise to enjoy an ice cream at the end of the evening. The flavors offered are varied and original, and the waiter, particularly kind that evening, took the time to let us taste those that intrigued us the most. Thanks to his advice, we found our favorite perfumes. Ideally located, it is a perfect address for a delicious dessert outside of a restaurant. Despite the cold, tasting this ice cream was a real pleasure. A big thank you to the waiter for his welcome and his kindness, which made the experience even better!“

“The food was SPECTACULAR! Even the carnivores in our group enjoyed it!“

“I expected great coffee and got it, but the biscuits and scones were delicious- even better than my own homemade.“

“The best breakfast I have ever had, and I own a breakfast restaurant 😂 Super friendly staff, well worth the wait ! If you don't try the hollandaise I will question all your life decisions. Blueberry Fleur Mimosa ... 12/10! Try this spot if you're in the area, we will travel back 3 hours just for brunch !“

“Amazing food & relaxing atmosphere.“

“Great food.,,and a great atmosphere!!!! Excellent waitress......very enjoyable experience‼️“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“Oh My God what a gem this place is! First off when you walk in it smells incredible. I had the Godmother grilled cheese. It was so good I couldn't hold a conversation......or maybe it was their margaritas!! Anyway the sandwich was unbelievable and the "secret sauce" on the side for dipping is something I didn't think I needed but ended up wanting to be buried in!“

“Went there for New Years Eve at the new location. They told us it was going be at least a 45 minute wait and we were ok with that. Host took our phone number and added us on the wait list on his tablet. Took a seat out by the host stand and waited. Another couple came in about 15 minutes after us, also a party of two, and the same host told them it was going be a wait and they took a seat next to us. Even though we had been there 15 minutes longer and greeted by same host with tablet, he forgot about us and seated them first. Even though we were waiting right next to them and he looked right at us when he came to tell them to follow him to a table. We finally just got a seat at the bar. We ordered appetizers, two rounds of drinks and dinner. Again told it was going be a wait because kitchen was backed up. That was fine. Got our drinks and appetizers. Then my girlfriend’s entrée finally came out but they forgot to bring mine! I thought it would be out in a few minutes, but after 1o more minutes waiting for my food I finally inquired, and they had somehow forgotten my entrée. They comp’d one round of drinks. Love the new location. Love the food. But we chose the wrong night to go! I’ve never gone out to eat and ordered the food and had them forget to bring my entrée out.. By the time I got my dinner my girlfriend was done with her food. Just asked them to bag it for take-away. Still tipped 20% as I’ve worked twenty years in resturants. Kind of disappointed with New Years Eve dinner. Took the night off early to go have a nice meal and they forgot my meal!“

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful dinner on 2-15. We sat at the end of the sushi bar- it was a little tight when it got busy, but it’s definitely the best sushi place we’ve been to. Our server Chad was awesome and made us feel very welcome. I told a few friends and decided to write a review“

“This place is amazing. Very LGBTQ friendly, and wonderfully nice management.“

“My husband and I have been going to Gorgeous Gelato for years. It's been a while since we've been but last weekend, we decided to introduce our granddaughters to it. The older one enjoyed trying blueberry sorbet and ended up ordering it. The little one is 3 so she opted for vanilla and chocolate. It's just as delicious as we remember. They really make the best gelato in New England. It's the closest one to the ones we had in Italy. Oh, and they have sfogiatelle (pastry filled with sweet ricotta) which was legit. Had one of those in Naples, Italy in 2017. This is not Naples level but it brought me back to the experience nonetheless. It's a bit pricey though (almost $7 each). Their prices have gone up and parking in the the city could be a challenge. These are the only reasons why we don't go more often.“

“Unreal experience! Our bartender, Josiah helped us pick some amazing dishes. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and friendly service! Love this place“

“One of the best dining experiences in Portland highly recommend“

“Holy cow, what an awesome find! We enjoyed everything about this place. They have a fun cocktail menu, and the food is AMAZING! Be sure to order the fried chicken, and get at least a couple of their excellent sauces!“

“Great tasting, healthy food. Lots of plant-based options and awesome service,“

“I dream of their roti and curry dipping sauce, and no visit is complete without the ginger tofu noodles.“

“great experience from moment one. the host welcomed me into the cozy restaurant and escorted me upstairs to a table by the window. i ordered a shot of espresso and a mimosa that came out promptly. couldn’t decide between the cinnamon apple pancake or the lobster scramble so i got both and was glad i did; words can’t do them justice.“

“Fantastic ramen and poke bowls.“

“Had a drink and oysters during happy hour and it was a great experience. Bartender Andy was so friendly and polite and gave some great recommendations for local spots to visit. Would definitely come regularly if I was a local.“

“Great banh mi with several options (traditional ‘cold cuts’, chicken, tofu, beef, pork, and specials - was hot honey chicken when we went). They also have Vietnamese coffee, Thai tea, and boba tea. Very good service. There are a few parking spots in the small lot on the side of the building, otherwise it’s street parking.

Vegetarian options: Tofu banh mi

Parking: There are a few parking spots in the small lot on the side of the building, otherwise it’s street parking.“

“We had lunch and it was excellent. I don’t understand why there weren’t many diners at 11:30 AM. I think it was because their sign cannot be seen from one side of the road. The service was excellent. We will definitely go back again and bring our friends.“

“Warm welcoming staff, happy regulars, creative events, top notch dedication to their draft list pouring from clean lines and glassware, passionate owners who are present and make food from scratch. A true Portland gem!“

“Thank you Mandy for always being such an amazing person. We love Marcys Marcy's Diner. The food is amazing but the people make it even better.“

“Amazing food, drinks and service, a true gem!!“

“We have lived in Scarborough for 2 years now and just had the opportunity to eat at Jojos Thai Kitchen. Ordering online was a breeze. Pickup was on time. The food was great. Me, my husband and my three teenagers all loved the food. I especially loved the tofu noodle dish. We will definitely eat here again.“

“Amazing food! My incredibly picky husband LOVED his pizza. We enjoyed the outside dining by the water, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and that kids’ drawings were the cover of their menus. All local food and drink too. 100% recommend!!“

“From top to bottom, everything they serve is thoughtful and incredible! You will NOT regret going, it is life changing literally. 🤍“

“We got there at 9:05 pm, they had just closed. But....they let our party of eight in anyways. Food was great and so was the service. Thanks Boones!“

“Great place to stop in for tea! My favorite is the Thai Tea Latte... sooooo yummy!!!
Wonderful atmosphere to relax, read a book, or play privided board games.
There's plenty of indoor seating with window views to people watch ?“

“If you are looking for some of Portland's most amazing foods come here. Today I had their special which was a softshell crab dish that was out of this world. I have never had the same thing twice at MaMi because all of the dishes look and smell and taste so amazing I want to try them all. It's truly an experience.“

“Wow! Calafia was a perfect venue for our birthday celebration. Six of us were very comfortable in their cozy banquet corner which was just right for our gathering. The restaurant is beautiful with an alluring glow and a casually sophisticated vibe. Every cocktail and dish was delicious, prepared perfectly with really fresh ingredients and outstanding flavors. Generous portions and great service. Calafia is a gem in Portland’s West End!“

“I love this place. The fiery spicy fish is the best thing ever. Thank you so so much.“

“This pizza is honestly the best pizza I have had in my entire life. Thin, charred, crispy, and made with clearly quality ingredients. I've only gotten takeout, so I can only imagine how good a pie straight out of the oven would be. Worth a visit for sure.“

“Avocado Toast, hash browns, yummy pastries“

“without question the best breakfast sandwich I ever had. honey ham egg and habanero bacon jam with Gouda on a jalapeno cheddar biscuit.... 🥳“

“Great cocktails, food, and atmosphere! We will be back!“

“I love you guys but I’m not sure why your rice balls are so spicy now. Les’s pepper, more sauce. They taste different, and for that price for rice, I expect consistency. ❤️“

“This might be the best overall bourbon list I have ever seen at an establishment. Prices were reasonable as well. I just wished they opened earlier than 4pm. Burger next door at Rigby is 5 stars.“

“Every dish was fantastic!“

“We LOVE an evening out at Tuscan Table, South Portland location in fact we go every week! Our preferred place to sit is at the bar where we know we will always get excellent service from our favorite server Sammy. Sammy always greets us with a friendly smile and remembers what we like to drink, she also remembers how we like each dish that is ordered prepared even if we forget to ask, she knows. Sammy makes eating at the Tuscan a wonderful welcoming experience every time. Thank you Sammy and see you next week! Nancy & Eddie“

“We have had takeout from here 3 weeks in a row...we are hooked! Amazingly delicious food! I wish I can rate this a million stars 🤩😍“
