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.“

“It was a busy Wednesday night in OOB and lots of places had very long waits. We took our chances on Myst and they were able to seat our group of 7 on the deck within 5 minutes although they were busy too. The service was excellent, we had Kaitlyn (sorry if I’m spelling that wrong) who was very attentive, the food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. We have eaten at a few local spots and this was so far the best.“

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

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

“Flavorful, upbeat and great service. Had a reservation at the bar and was happy to see how quickly and meticulously the staff worked and how kindly the Chef treated his staff.
The cobb salad left a lasting impression on me. It even inspired me to recreate it at home a few days later. The bone marrow toast was like a French onion soup on bread but better! Suckling pig and foie gras were ok. Wish I could of stayed longer and tried more dishes but had to run to another reservation. I will definitely be back.“

“Amazing food & relaxing atmosphere.“

“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 !“

“Gelato Fiasco was one of our favorite dessert stops in Portland. The whole experience is incredibly easy and fun—they’ll let you sample whatever flavors you want, and when you’re ready, you can build your cup with as many different flavors as you’d like.

Everything we tried was delicious. The gelato is very light and smooth, so even after trying several flavors it never felt overly heavy or too sweet. There’s also enough variety that it’s easy to find something for everyone.

The staff was extremely friendly and patient while we sampled our way through the options, which made the experience even better.

Overall, I’d absolutely recommend Gelato Fiasco. If you’re looking for ice cream or gelato in Portland, this is easily one of the top spots in the city.“

“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“

“I don’t normally leave reviews, but I feel like Bayside warrants one. I had a very positive experience from the moment I arrived until I left. The staff were all very friendly and easy to talk to, their service was exceptional, and the food was very good. I absolutely recommend eating here and will be coming back the next time I’m in the area.“

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

“My Mom and I are in Portland on Vacation. So far EVO is defiantly a High Light! Staff was friendly and very helpful! Food was AMAZING! Absolutely a 10 out of 10!“

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

“Second time here, and again so good! Can’t wait to come back!!“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

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

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

“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!“

“Great food and friendly service! Love this place“

“Absolutely amazing flavors! Great staff. Had a vegetarian sampler plate (had all our favorites) and a lamb gyro pizza (never had one before...never heard of one).....a new favorite! Skip the seafood and try the Olive Cafe!“

“Quality is absolutely top notch, really fantastic flavors. What makes Sweetcream really special is the service, I'm left with the impression that everyone who works there really likes their job and it shows in the super friendly way they treat their guests. My favorite spot in the Saco/Biddeford area hands down“

“Best Gelato I’ve ever had! I’ve been to a few different places but none even compare. I had the Hazelnut and Sea Salt Caramel and they were mouth watering. My bf had Maine Wild Blueberry and Oreo and we almost went back for more that night! Eagerly waiting for Boston Creme to come back so I can try it!!“

“Popped in on a whim for happy hour and we were so glad we stumbled on this restaurant! I had a spicy marg and my husband had a charro negro, both were delicious and full strength! We had the perfect snacks to go with it - salsas and tostados and some fish tacos. The staff were warm and friendly. Would recommend!“

“They have bhindi and aloo gobi and other items that not all Indian places have“

“The BEST banh mi and bubble tea. Specials rotate so there is always something new to try. The bread is always perfect. They cater and do pop-ups…which often feature the best egg roll I’ve ever had.“

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

“If i could give 6 stars i would. Pengs could easily be in the running for the best New Haven inspired pie in the northeast. With homes in both Biddeford and New Haven county I eat pizza often in Both locations. Pengs can stand shoulder to shoulder with all three of the New Haven apizza legends. Personally I prefer their pepperoni cups, slightly fermented dough, perfectly charred bake and overall humble atmosphere over all 3 New Haven staples (modern, Pepe's , Sally's) pengs is hands down the best pizza in Maine if not all of New England.

On a Side note the miso chocolate chip cookies are exceptional if you can get one before they're gone.“

“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“

“Friendly place. Best blueberry pancakes in town.“

“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!“

“Best food I ate in Portland all week (including upscale places) was the lobster bisque from Chef Ryan. Oysters were GREAT as well. Family friendly. Chef Ryan’s whole menu was top notch and the kitchen staff was so nice. Ty came up and offered to give my young kids a lobster lesson over FaceTime (was here for work). Lizzy was excellent at the bar for our group. Ashley was amazing and welcoming to our group. Couldn’t recommend more. But def order the menu items and not just the lobster!“

“The food was phenomenal, very tasty, flavorful, cooked to perfection! Friendly server and chill atmosphere. Definitely a favorite!“

“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!“

“Fantastic ramen and poke bowls.“

“Very good! Will be back again for sure!“

“The food was excellent! The young man who made our tableside guacamole and our waiter were two of the best serves I have ever encountered! This place is TopShelf!“

“I had the Peaches the Pig sandwich. Best. Sandwich. Ever. It was the type of sandwich that makes you want to dance a little after every bite. Slightly sweet, a little spicy, a whole lot of amazing. But…Good luck picking just one thing. Everything on the menu looked amazing.“

“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.“

“Went in today for the first time and food was amazing! Ordered a latte and the girl that took my order wasn’t the friendliest. I last minute decided I wanted a latte, and asked for it to be made with oatmilk she seemed annoyed and said it comes with oatmilk with an attitude. There is no info stating that the latte comes with oatmilk so not sure how I was supposed to know that. The guy who made my drink was extremely friendly and when my food order was ready the cooks were also super friendly! Great food and latte, will be back for sure!“

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

“Every dish was fantastic!“

“This place rocks and I had the best $11 lunch. The puffy avo and shrimp tacos are my favorite. I went early and it wasn’t busy so I was able to get a little solo work lunch in and the server Luis was SO nice and welcoming. I also didn’t realize the have a kids changing table in the bathroom and most places in Portland aren’t kid friendly so I think I’ll come back with my kids soon because I’m already hungry for another taco and a happy upbeat welcoming atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Food was really amazing, as a sushi lovers it was up to my expectations. Keep rocking 🍱🥢🍣“

“10/10 recommend. The drunken noodles were amazing! And the service made the experience 10 times better. S/o our server Matthew, for being so attentive and kind!“

“We wandered in today and sat at the bar. We were so impressed with both the service and the food. The bartender was cordial, friendly, and extremely attentive. We had a flatbread that was absolutely delicious and chicken, bacon ranch salad with house made ranch that was exceptional. Closer than any. We don’t have a flatbread company near our home sure wish we did.“

“Awesome bubble tea shop that stands out from the other spots in Portland because of its innovative menu items named after and inspired by the ocean. The zephyr with osmanthus and brown sugar was incredible. The mushroom latte was also outstanding as a caffeine-free option. The space is also really comfortable with abundant seating and charming touches like a bookshelf and board games.“

“Thank you for being one of the only places in town with healthy and vegan options � the amazing taste is a bonus“

“Came here after visiting Portland Headlight in Cape Elizabeth. Many options to choose from and they were delicious! My girls ordered three different kinds of pad Thai.“

“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.“
