50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Detroit

“Great experience. Kimberly went above and beyond. Will definitely return.“

“We had dinner and it was delicious. Every single dish had its own character and unique P+P touch. We had Steak Tartare (mayonnaise based which was different but good), Filet Mignon, Asparagus, Mushrooms, Lobster Risotto, I forget the name of the salad - and the cocktails were *perfect* and presented beautifully. The service was incredible, staff friendly and welcoming, overall atmosphere outside (where we sat) was perfect and spacious. Honestly for my Wife and I to start our evening for an anniversary date night at P+P - I couldn’t be happier. You will spend money. It’s worth it. They did go the extra mile for us, had a Happy Anniversary card waiting, brought out a desert for us with an edible chocolate piece that said “Happy Anniversary” - and it was fun. I cannot wait to go back.“

“Great food, inventive cocktails, and friendly, knowledgeable service. One of the very best restaurants in Detroit for over a decade.“

“Single women beware I was being followed throughout the building on the way to the elevators to get the restaurant. Followed by one guy that I saw, but when I got to the elevators he came to the elevators and another guy was behind him, he did some sign language to the other guy as they slowly walked by as I had just explained to the lady at the elevator I was being followed. I don’t know what they were planning but he definitely looked me in my face as I entered the Renaissance building, as he was already there, then he began to follow me as I saw him every time I looked back over my shoulder. Getting to these elevators are difficult so you have to stop and read the signage and figure out which way to go and he could’ve been gone on his way but No he didn't! I definitely felt uneasy and fearful. I was celebrating my birthday and meeting my niece there. Women be careful!!!!!! The salad was Great! The octopus was just ok, would not order again, the Halibut was bland but fair.“

“Must try the peanut butter and jelly slider if you’ve never had it“

“Wife & I love the friendly atmosphere. To complement that statement, the food & drink is second to none ! We've met so many people there, it's amazing ! As mentioned previously the food is amazing, and the best way I can define / complement the bar is, Stephaine, Skylar, and John are NOT bartenders, they are cocktail ENGINEERS !!!“

“Food was amazing and staff was incredible“

“The restaurant has a nice atmosphere but the food could have been hot. The potatoes were unseasoned but the omelet was excellent.“

“We tried the Detroit Pepper Company tonight, first time! We went with the Detroit Stuffed Pepper, beef with parmesan cheese. Very good taste, and huge. We also ordered the Vegan Stuffed Pepper, but we will have to try it tomorrow for lunch...too full from the Detroit Stuffed Pepper! We also tried the lentil bean soup, very nice. And my wife enjoyed the Mango Tastic smoothie:-) We're happy to learn about the Detroit Pepper Company, and we'll be back. Highly recommended. A very clean take-out only place, with good food and a very friendly staff.“

“Good food and great service“

“perfect place for an adventure, Sunday Funday!“

“We ate here for the first time had the Fungchi and the San Gennaro fabulous best pizza we have ever had. Very light crust which brought out the true flavors that were on top of the pizza. Highly recommend if you are in Detroit and want great pizza.“

“I love Batch! Of course the beer is good but in addition to that the sandwiches are always amazing, and it’s always a great vibe whether you’re outside or inside. Plus they’ve got trivia, food pop ups, and so many other events and activities“

“We absolutely loved this place!
It has a peaceful, cozy, and welcoming atmosphere — perfect for working, writing, reading, or simply enjoying a coffee, tea, or a snack from the menu.

The music is soothing, and the vibe is ideal for focusing and feeling inspired.
Laptops are welcome, and everything is spotless — clean, tidy, and well-organized.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

We tried the espresso and an herbal tea (chamomile and lavender) — both were delicious and thoughtfully prepared. They also serve decaf coffee espresso.

Outside, there’s a small garden with beautiful trees and flowers where the birds come to sing, making the scenary from the window even more delightful.

Inside, the presence of green plants adds even more charm — making the space feel warmer, more vibrant, and inviting.

The space is filled with natural light, has high ceilings, and features modern, visually pleasing decor.

It feels fresh, airy, and energetically clean — truly an inspiring place to be.
I would definitely come back.“

“Never disappointed with anything I’ve ever had there and every time I bring someone to try it they absolutely love it.“

“*EDIT:
The owner did reach out to me to apologize and offer cleaning/replacements for my clothing. They also spoke with the staff to make a training and learning lesson for them which I appreciate. I’m changing my rating of the experience based on Owen’s response, as most owners do not attempt to rectify a bad situation.

I have never had an experience as bad as the one I just had at Firebird Tavern. Needless to say I will never return or recommend this place to anyone. The visit started well and our server was very pleasant and attentive. Halfway through our visit, a full tray of drinks and shots was spilled on me to the point that a mop was needed and a wet floor signed was placed behind me. Not only that, but my white shirt is stained and not reparable. I was soaked. The server eventually did apologize to me and told me that she was personally comping ONE of my drinks. First of all, I would NEVER expect the server to comp any drinks. Second of all, I was never approached by the manager to access the damage or talk about comps, WHICH I would assume from the establishment itself. When we were brought our bill, I asked the server, ‘what is the establishment taking care of for my damages’. The manager eventually came to talk to me and did not seem aware of the situation, even after many servers explained what happened and I showed him my clothing that was still wet and stained. He simply replied that the server was comping one drink and he would see what he could do. The server came back with the same bill, no initiative from the bar or manager and I paid for the bill as it was. How is this acceptable from a bar that my table paid several rounds of drinks and food for the night? I have never experienced this lack of care in my life and cannot express my disappointment and frustration with the management and overall experience of Firebird. What an embarrassment to our city. As a resident of the downtown area, I would never expect such a terrible experience.“

“Delicious homemade food… wonderful staff open air tables. Great service!“

“Pizza deep dish pan style“

“Amazing tour! Michael our host was both entertaining and informative, definitely not stingy on the samples either! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! I myself am not so much of a bourbon drinker and found that I enjoyed sipping my cocktail and the different samples. Tasting from the different barrels was an awesome experience. We plan to go to the new tour starting in January as we enjoyed this one so much! I was also able to try the other liqueurs made by detriot distillery at the end and wow! The absinthe and rum were amazing! Thanks Mike for all of the info looking forward to seeing you soon! Michelle & Tony“

“Been here a few times and it is one of my favorite places to visit in Detroit. The drinks and food rotate and every time I go I find a new favorite!“

“Wonderful place to go for a special occasion. The entertainment is always top notch. The food was absolutely delicious and the entire staff at the top of their game!“

“My favorite place to Dine“

“We live in the neighborhood and have enjoyed stopping in for dinner and beers semi-frequently. The menu was just updated and has some tasty new additions like the Detroit Brat with some updates to old favorites. The service we received from Laura and Zach was phenomenal. Highly recommend stopping in to catch a game, or after a night exploring the riverwalk.“

“Great service Amazing food“

“Still my favorite brewery in all of S.E. Michigan. While I’ve met various “beer-tenders” here (and in my 5 years in Michigan) I have to say that this place stocks consistent talent. Always personable. Very knowledgeable. Hats off to Frankie and Mark.“

“OMG! Celebrated my birthday here with 8 friends and all of us were blown away by how delicious everything was�. Favorites were the Pulled Pork(that mango slaw!), the Best Snack Ever ,and the Churros!“

“An absolute gem in Southwest Detroit! Went tonight with a party of six for my nephews birthday. Everyone raved about their meals. Hearty portions and reasonable prices! The service was 5⭐️.“

“We really enjoyed our brunch. The staff was great and the sweetest people. I loved the Jammie eggs and the preserves.“

“Shout out Chelsea from Texas! Super speedy, straight to the point, and just straight-up awesome. She kept things flowing without ever making us feel rushed. Her no-nonsense, friendly vibe made the whole experience better. Attentive, efficient, and full of personality—exactly the kind of service that stands out. Big shoutout to Chelsea at Grand Trunk! We’ll definitely be back.“

“5 stars (only because 10 isn’t an option) If I could marry a bar, this would be my messy little soulmate. The vibe? Immaculate. The bartenders? Absolute legends. One handed me a drink and a shot of unsolicited life advice—and honestly, both slapped. The owner greeted us like we were long-lost cousins who owed him money but he missed us anyway. They even had a shuttle, which was perfect because we were on our way to an event and needed transportation that didn’t involve us drunk-sprinting through Detroit. And yes, we came back after the event, because clearly we have good taste and no self-control. 10/10 would get roasted by the bartenders again, spill a drink on myself, and still call it the best night ever. We love this little chaos goblin of a dive bar, and we’re coming back the second we’re in town. Save us a seat and maybe a bar rag.“

“Beautiful place for a special occasion.“
